Cinnamon Bistro Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Greenville

Visited today 6/27/25, and got had the most amazing time. Where do I begin? The food, absolutely delicious. We had mango chicken, butter chicken, and chicken tandoori, with garlic cheese naan, 10/10. Everything was flavorful and comforting. I had two drinks the first an island margarita that was top tier. My second drink I only got because I seen a neighboring diner having it and while I am unsure of the name it was pretty and delicious. Everyone apart of the staff was amazing, and kind. Checking on us, helping us out and making us feel welcomed. Just off of the food and customer service I would recommend checking Cinnamon and the neighboring bubba tea and rolled ice cream shop out. Both places feels like a safe space and even the customers dining in were kind and supportive. We talks to a gentleman who was out with his mom and they also were so kind and helpful. I look forward to coming back and hope to see my neighboring diner again as well. Such an enjoyable experience and I cannot wait to return. Until, big thank you’s to the staff and team. The chef, I wish I could hug, the cook with love and care and you taste it. Trust me and come out...

Service was good, pleasant staff. Food was tasty. Nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, all these things couldn’t make up for the pettiness at the end of the meal. I Just dropped a significant amount of coin for this special meal with my son. Upon finishing our meal, I asked for 2 plastic containers (for the liquid food items) and a small box to take home the rest. The server paused and looked somewhat perplexed by my request. She came back a few moments later with the box and ONE small container. I was told I could have another (styrofoam) box at no charge, , but if I wanted more than one small plastic container, I would be asked to pay $1. For a small container. $1. I didn’t ask for 15 containers, just one extra one. A fair amount of money spent for the meal apparently doesn’t warrant more than one plastic container. Never experienced this before in a restaurant. A beautiful meal that initially was pleasant has now turned...

Don't order the Baigan appetizer on the menu, the eggplant was spoiled and when we mentioned it to the waiter she tried to justify that it was not spoiled, but it clearly was. We could tell just by looking at her that she knew it was spoiled and didn't want to mention it. The other issue was the Bhindi masala, the Okra was clearly frozen which upsetted some of us as the frozen vegetables taste way worse than normal.

Everything else was fine - veg platter and keema chicken were good. Soup was good. Biriyani was great and Malai Kofta was also good. Lacha paratha was nicely cooked. They also have mango lassi and chai, not mentioned in menu but yes. Food was overall consistent and comparable to most other Indian restaurants so it's average. Owner of the place seemed nice.

Also, really liked how the payment was done though an online QR code scan and pay, super easy to just pay with Google Pay or...
