Cinnamon — Restaurant in Scotland

visit #2 (today)

order - mix pakora + lamb karahi + mix grill, garlic nan + rice - enough for 2 people plus enough leftover for husband's lunch tomorrow

husband has been in this country exactly one year today.. over the past year I have taken him to the more popular restaurants in Glasgow.. he's like me try something once and if you like it go again.. we have not actually been back to any of those restaurants again so far..

we were here at Cinnamon a few weeks back and husband said that is a very good lamb karahi + biryani and he was full of praise today I insisted we go out for dinner and he chose to come back to Cinnamon which I was not expecting at all based on previous outings

food today was equally good (slightly better if being honest).. husband happy (he even complimented the pakora said it was fresh and tasty).. he enjoyed the lamb karahi I mean I did say let's get something different but nope he wanted the same thing again (which was not surprising).. again like last time, it had just the right amount of spice just the way he likes it and if nothing else I suspect he will come back here again for more lamb karahi (and this is from a very picky eater who rarely likes other people's cooking)

myself I also enjoyed the meal as a whole and as I eat out regularly I would say this restaurant deserves a 5🌟 review (if I had left a review the last time then probably would have been 5🌟 also but then I hardly ever leave reviews and even then not good 5🌟 ones anyway)

one last comment - price of this meal plus the price of the last meal was in total cheaper than any of the meals we had at any of the more popular restaurants previously in fact we went to somewhere a month ago and basically ordered an identical meal to today and it cost nearly 3 times as much as we paid today and the comment I heard from my husband when we had left was well we aren't coming back here again I didn't like the lamb karahi and also the portion was smaller (there was no extra leftover to take home) so he felt everything was overpriced in comparison to the quantity of food total opposite of his experience of Cinnamon (good food very reasonable price nice owner = repeat custom) so other restaurants take note this husband of mine is a very...

My husband and I have been talking about trying this restaurant for quite a while now. As it was a Thursday night I wasn't expecting that we would have a wait and of course we didn't. We ordered a pint of lager and a glass of wine while we looked at the menu. I personally had no lunch to save my appetite for the meal. I had heard good things about the food. The menu did have one or two things that I had never seen on other menus but we ordered a intriguing Bombay beef poori, deep fried bread with a pulled beef in tangy sweet and sour sauce (for husband)and a vegetarian Punjabi chickpea poori to start for me. They were both lovely although I have had this starter before. I'm on a diet so we both opted for a tandoori main. My husband opted for the mixed grill tandoori which was plentiful and he said was absolutely great. He said that it melted in the mouth and was just the right amount of spice. I went for something that I would never normally choose and opted for the tandoori salmon. I got 2 salmon fillets which had been blackened on skin side and a lovely spice rub applied. My meal was a revelation and came with boiled rice as I had requested. The separate sauce was hard to identify the actual spices but was happy just to put a little on my rice otherwise the meal would have been a little dry. We shared a plain naan bread. Overall I thought it was a well made, great tasting meal and we will return. So thought it was very reasonable for 2 drinks, starters, mains and 1 side because it came to £42.80p. The service was very good and a pleasant atmosphere in okay surroundings. The music went from disco to Motown soul, so right up my street. We...

I recently had the pleasure of ordering a selection of pizzas from this gem of a restaurant and I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time! From the moment the pizzas arrived at my doorstep, the mouth-watering aroma filled the air, making my taste buds tingle with anticipation. As I unpacked the boxes, I was immediately struck by the vibrant colors of the fresh toppings. Each pizza was a work of art, expertly crafted and visually appealing. The quality of the ingredients was evident; the vegetables were crisp, the meats were savory, and the cheese was perfectly melted, creating a delightful symphony of flavors. The baking process was executed flawlessly. Each pizza had a delectable crust: golden-brown on the outside, fluffy yet crisp on the inside. It provided the perfect foundation for the toppings, with just the right amount of char that only comes from a truly skilled pizza maker. The customer service was amazing staff were extremely friendly would definitely recommend Expect to...
