About Cinnamon Cafe

Cinnamon Indian Restaurant & Bar brings traditional Indian flavours and warm hospitality to its guests. Drawing on authentic regional cooking techniques and carefully blended spices, the kitchen prepares an extensive selection of classic curries, tandoori oven specialities, and Indo-Chinese street food favourites. Every dish is crafted to capture the true essence of Indian culinary heritage, from rich dal gravies to sizzling kebabs fresh from the clay oven.

Designed to feel welcoming and comforting, Cinnamon caters to everything from relaxed family meals and weeknight takeaways to celebratory gatherings and private functions. With a dedication to consistency, attention to detail, and generous service, the team focuses on creating memorable dining experiences that bring people together over honest, flavourful food.

Cinnamon: Bringing Authentic Indian Flavours and Tandoori Mastery Together

Great Indian food is defined by balance, spice blending, and heat control. At Cinnamon, the menu reflects the culinary diversity of India, featuring classic curries simmered for hours, Indo-Chinese stir-fries, and flame-licked skewers lifted straight from the clay tandoor oven. Whether you are looking for comforting lentil dishes or bold street-style small plates, the focus remains squarely on vibrant taste and careful execution.

Heritage Cooking and the Heat of the Tandoor

The tandoor oven sits at the heart of Cinnamon's cooking process. High-heat charcoal cooking locks in moisture, giving skewered meats and paneer an authentic charred finish that stovetop cooking cannot replicate. Standouts include the Lamb Seekh Kebab, threaded onto skewers and cooked until juicy, and the Malai Tikka, where yogurt and subtle aromatics tenderise the chicken without overpowering it.

For seafood lovers, the Amritsari Fish delivers a crisp exterior shell seasoned with ajwain and ground spices, balancing crunch with tender fish. Alongside these traditional North Indian starters, the kitchen embraces Indo-Chinese favourites such as Chicken Manchurian, Chilli Paneer, and Chicken 65, bringing tangy, garlicky, and pepper-forward bites to the table.

Rich Curries and Deep Vegetarian Repertoire

The mains at Cinnamon showcase a wide range of curry bases, from nutty cashew gravies to hearty tomato and spinach purées. Vegetarian diners enjoy an extensive selection, highlighted by rich comfort staples like Dal Makhani—slow-cooked until velvety—and Palak Paneer with tender cubes of fresh cottage cheese submerged in seasoned spinach.

Those who prefer robust spice profiles can turn to the Kadhai Paneer and Soya Chaap Masala, both tossed with crunchy bell peppers and coarsely cracked spices. From homestyle Aloo Gobhi to creamy Vegetable Korma, each preparation highlights different spices, avoiding one-note curries in favour of distinct sauces.

Shared Tables and Heartfelt Hospitality

Dining at Cinnamon is built around sharing. Dishes like Keema Pav, served with soft, toasted butter buns, invite casual grazing, while generous curry portions pair naturally with steamed rice and oven-baked breads. The kitchen places a strong emphasis on consistent seasoning, welcoming service, and food designed to satisfy both weeknight dinner cravings and festive group get-togethers.
