Food was fine , but service abysmal- 45 mins before they reluctantly took our order / table next to us took 90 mins for food to arrive. It’s a shame this place was once great now average at

Last take away here was dreadful and they got the order wrong. Such a shame as this used to be a first class restaraunt we'd been to many times. Not any more.

Very enjoyable. Good variety of curry's and starters. Good value for the money for the Sunday buffet.

Had a meal for 6 people booked for 7pm on a tues evening. Waited nearly 45 mins for 6 meals to arrive. No starters. Restaurant was almost empty les than 8 others dining. Young waitress was lovely, older waitress quite abrupt and not friendly. Plain naans were pale and greasy. Not nice at all. King prawns shasleick wasn't nice pretty burnt and more shell than prawn. Wouldn't recommend and won't be returning. It was lovely years ago. One positive, parking wasn't a problem.

Ordered a chicken korma to be delivered. Had a previous delivery a few weeks ago which was lovely, however, tonight’s meal was absolutely disgusting the sauce was like water and tasteless, the chicken was tough and the onion Bhagees were tasteless. Spoke to the restaurant would only refund me for the chicken korma (half the meal but not for the full meal even though we were not able to eat the chips and rice on its own. Very poor customer service. Will not be ordering again.

We visited the restaurant on a Sunday the service we received was second to none. The staff were polite and attentive throughout our visit and nothing was too much trouble when we asked questions.We had an array of food during our visit all of which was flavoursome and beautifully presented. The buffet was also on during our visit but we chose to order from the main menu, there wasn't a wait of any sort when ordering and the timing between the starters and mains arriving was perfect. In fact we were asked if we were ready for our mains which was a nice touch.Overall it was one of the best meals we have had in a while, it's a lovely family run restaurant with food that packs a punch. If you like spice and good food then you won't be disappointed, I cannot wait until our next visit.

We've been to The Cinnamon Tree a couple of times now, and although the food is good it's unlikely we'll be returning. Unfortunately it is very expensive for the portion size, and combined with the slow service we left feeling a little underwhelmed.We waited for a while for our order to be taken with staff walking past us multiple times, and when we caught the waitress's attention and asked if we could order we were told to wait as someone who arrived before us should order first.We had one of the mixed starters and for £13 we only received 8 pieces, with each piece being very small. My curry was flavourful, but only had small pieces of low quality chicken. It was served in a plain bowl with no extra garnish and looked distinctly disappointing for the £13.95 price, especially when compared to the other curry which came in a nice copper bowl with a lot more chicken.The size of the sides were also very small, and we would have expected more rice for the £4.25 pricetag. We were also charged £3.50 for a pint of orange squash.Our naan bread was also forgotten to begin with and we were assured it was coming but after 10 minutes we had to chase it up. It was very good when we received it, but by that time we had eaten most of the curries, even when pausing to wait for 5 minutes.Overall the service was very slow and although the food was tasty the presentation and portion size did not make it worth price which was just shy of £60. Overall you can get better food and more attentive dining experience elsewhere.

The food was nice, but the service was a bit slow and not very friendly unfortunately! We arrived without a booking but it was very quiet so there was no problem about a table. It took longer than hoped to get menus and take the order and there was a little bit of a feeling that we were a bit of an inconvenience just by being there

Rang up and ordered a takeaway it was ready exactly the time they said and more importantly all the food was really tasty and very high quality
My family and I visited The Cinnamon Tree for a late Sunday lunch, as it was the only Indian buffet open in the area at the time (Our usual was closed that day). We were not disappointed: service staff were very friendly and amenable, and the food was very good quality- my personal favourite is the Chicken Tikka Masala, which, alongside everything else available, was delicious. We plan on going again very soon for another Sunday all-you-can-eat, once we stop feeling full from our last visit!

The Goan veg curry with fresh veg I was promised had pre-frozen, re- cooked veg and chickpeas I don't like. It wasn't described in the menu as a chickpea curry, which I wouldn't have ordered. The cauliflower was going brown. The sauce was congealed. My chapati was hard. I'm grateful that restaurant staff agreed not to charge us for these. The rest of the meal was OK. My husband said the lamb in his biryani was good. Our greeter/waiter was helpful and responsive, and seemed sincerely apologetic. Disappointing otherwise.

Had a delivery, pre ordered for 6.30 and it was bang on time. Haven't visited for years and first time having their delivery. Always trying different local indians as there always seems to be something which falls a little short, however this was lovely. Had a lamb biryani, a chicken tikka biryani, chips, naans, mixed tandoori starter and poppadoms. Lovely chunks of chicken in the biryani, great naan, well flavoured curry but not too spicy. Very enjoyable and will order again.
