Cinnamon Leiston — Restaurant in East Suffolk

I understand a Birthday party on Valentines may be unusual. We were asked to arrive at 5pm as they needed us out by 7pm. Most of us arrived bang on time, one of the party was 20 minutes late and 2 couldn't make it due to 5 hour delay on Orwell Bridge. However we were the only people there at the time, and couldn't even order a drink as they were ' busy'. From the off it felt like we were in the way. At 5.30pm we ordered. We watched as people came in for takeaway and got served. Then as a couple came in and got their starters. At 6.30pm we still hadn't got our food. (There was only 6 of us). When we asked how long it would be, the Waiter/Supervisor was extremely rude and said it was our fault as we were late! Which wasn't true as most of us were hanging about like a spare Popadom. The food when it finally arrived was nice, although there was a further wait for rice and chips and a salad had to be asked after as it had been forgotten. The salad caused much dropped jaws. It wasn't even a garnish! And it was served on a hot plate. Having worked in Restaurants all my life I couldn't believe the Waiter was actually arguing with us about the time of our arrival. Also if you are fully booked twice over and you have a larger party in early, the idea is to get them served (and therefore out) before the rush starts. We are all locals, but won't...

Absolute wonderful experience!

I was lucky enough to win a meal for two at this restaurant, however we didn’t mention this until the end of the meal so this is based on how they treated us as paying customers.

We ordered sides and mains, and they came out smelling and tasting wonderful, we were even offered some vegetables on the house, the staff were quick to ask if we needed or wanted anything.

They were around the floor so easy to ask it you did want something.

The food was piping hot and the table service was quick and no queue at all. (We had a table booked for 6pm)

We then received the bill and then we told the team about the competition online, apologised profusely, however, it wasn’t needed, the staff treated us wonderfully despite not knowing we won it.

I would definitely come again, won’t be the last...

Spent a few days away just outside Leiston & was looking for a bit to eat, this seems to be the only place in the entire area that opens before 6! Walked in & was seated immediately by really friendly & helpful staff, who couldn't do enough for you!

The decor was really nice & some nice music playing in the background. All tables (11 total if I recall) & furniture all clean, comfy & inviting.

The food was great, Spiced just to my taste & plenty of it! Even given Bombay potatoes & liqueurs complimentary of the house. The bill came & it was very reasonably priced.

If we are back in this area I will certainly be making a booking for here again!

Seperate note: Good amount of parking spaces opposite &...
