Food was good but the wait time is pretty bad considering it was only 2 of us and the rest of the restaurant seem empty. Service wasn't great starting off but ended really well. Overall I would recommend if you have at least an hour to spare.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Cinnamon Restaurant is a family run business and opened in February 2025. The seating area is huge. The restaurant has bench seating for large groups as well as table and chairs for couples/individuals. They also provide catering for events. Recently they catered for 1000 people for a wedding! Now that’s impressive. They have a prayer area which is huge bonus! Nazim greeted us warmly as we entered and helped us in choosing what to order from the vast amount of items on the menu. Everything is freshly made to order. We ordered the popular Beef Akni, Crispy Fried Chicken and Butter Naan. We must have come on a bad day as the Beef was pretty tough. However the rice was well flavoured. The Crispy Fried Chicken was indeed crispy and cooked to perfection. The Naan was ok. We are willing to give this place another try at some stage. Nazim’s customer service was exceptional. Couldn’t have asked for a better server. I’d just like to mention there is a 4% surcharge for using a credit/debit card. So paying cash is the best way to go if you want to keep an eyes on your pennies. Off street parking is available.

The food is pretty good. We got the Beef Akhni and Peri Peri Chicken platter. The Beef Akhni was not super oily, which I liked a lot, and the amount of meat was perfect. The Peri Peri Chicken was not dry and had the perfect amount of sauce.
