Cinnamon in Lewisham

We ordered take away, had to call as delivery took 25 mins, they told us the first time the driver left 10 mins ago, we live on the same road which 2 minute drive away. It’s because of this the food was cold I assume. Chips felt like they were 2 days old. The curries were really nice, we did get a keema nann which we split and only my partners had meat in it. Overall didn’t meet the expectation of the 4.3 we see they have online. Will give it another go in a few weeks but will collect instead and I’ll happy to revise this review…

Very tasty meal and very reasonable prices. Just wished they served booze. Otherwise a fab experience

Amazing takeaway at a great price!

The food is 5 star. Quality food and a large selection to choose from. Delivery is free if Order £10 minimum. Online orders receive a 10% discount on orders over £10.

Been looking for a decent Indian takeaway for ages and this place hits the spot. Great prices and value and each curry is full of flavour and tastes different, unlike some other places. The poppadoms are fresh, chops are flavourful and the mushroom rice is light and fluffy (as is the naan). Update: Great that you can order and pay online now. We’ve ordered several time from Cinnamon, ordering different dishes each time. They’ve all been absolutely delicious with tender meat. It’s amazing value and cannot recommend enough. Absolutely delicious and can’t wait until next time (and the delivery man is nice).

Highly recommend. Not once been disappointed with any dish.

Really good no-frills tasty Indian food at great prices. I will return!

Easy to order via website got exactly what we ordered plus free poppadoms and dip Lovely flavours and plenty of it. Delivery driver polite and friendly thankyou

My favourite Indian restaurant in Lewisham!

Horrible service, extremely rude staff and refuse who kept delaying order again and again. Food is very average too, much better Indian Restaurants around, recommend going there.

Very tasty, always order when I'm at my mum's.

My wife, daughter and I stayed here twice on vacation and were thrilled both times. We know a few good Indian restaurants in Berlin, but this one tops them all! We had a few different dishes and all of them, without exception, were delicious. The Cinnamon is really underrated and should get more attention. Plus, the food is super cheap by London standards. The service was very attentive and overall excellent! We'll come back next time we're in London, no matter how far away it is! Since the dishes are primarily picked up, not much was invested in the dining room, but that doesn't detract from the very positive overall experience.

It was a very tasty food and a very considerate service.

We have used Cinnamon many times and it never disappoints. Tastiest Indian in the area by far. Easy ordering via. their official website Edit 2023: we still LOVE cinnamon. Best Indian

Great curry house , tasty and fantastic value !

Good food. We went there by chance as our original choice had a power cut. We were not disappointed and will go back, maybe a takeaway next time. Service was very good, helpful and beyond the normal. Decor a little bit makeshift but the food and service made up for that. Well worth a try.

Got recommended this place by a few locals and the food lives up to what we were told. Great food and amazing prices! We got lots of food for under £30. The decor of the restaurant isn’t great but the food makes up for it.

I first visited this evening... what a fantastic Indian. Very flavourful. Will definitely be going back.

Top notch, we’ve been loyal customers ever since our first order years ago. Amazing flavours, great value for money and they never disappoint!

Fantastic curry, best in the area (Brockley, New Cross, etc) - Super friendly staff, we used to live in the flat above and they were always so kind to us. Really good value for money, would say best for takeaway, the seating area could do with a bit of a refurbishment.

The food is very nice and good sized portions. However it is very frustrating that their online ordering system doesn't work. I have tried this from mobile and tablet but it gets stuck on "Processing". I keep trying this but end up having to phone which takes longer. I wish they would get this sorted as they must be losing Customers who can't be bothered to ring.

Probably alright to take away from, but DO NOT COME IN TO EAT. No idea what the food is like, because as hard as we tried we simply could not get the guy to come over and take our order. In the end we just paid for the poppadoms and left. Terrible service and atmosphere.

First experience of Cinnamon tonight, and all I can say is absolutely incredible meal. The flavours were amazing and everything was cooked to perfection. I think we’ve definitely found our new favourite Indian take away

Lived in a number of places in South London over the years (Brockley, New cross, Rotherhithe, Croydon) and this was definitely my favourite Indian. Each dish packed with flavour, sauce is nice and thick and the prices are fantastic.

Just ordered a take away, fantastic!, great food

Been using thus place for a few years. Always good food for vegetarians. Decent size portions, and friendly service, what's not to like? I would say that the one time I tried to order on website, it didn't work, but not not really an issue for me.

nowhere else compares, cinnamon just hits the spot. also quick delivery and arrives hot. staff are super friendly. my only criticism is that they're closed on mondays which often seems to be when i really really want a curry. like right now

One of the worst curries I have had in the area. The chicken was dry and solid, extremely over cooked, the sauce had an unpleasant flavour and the peshwari nan was tough, chewy and flavourless. It also took 1hr 45 mins to arrive. Disappointed.

Fav! Love these guys, our weekly delivery go to and always such a pleasant surprise. Definitely recommend 😊

Had my first takeaway on Saturday from there. I have ordered from several in the Borough None as good as this one Absolutely beautiful food.

I've been ordering food there for many years. The food is delicious and made with fresh herbs.

Have been ordering here for 4 years now and never disappoints - consistent, good quality food at good prices and everyone who works here is so friendly. King prawn puri is a must!

A lovely authentic restaurant where the food is always lovely and fresh and the staff cant do enough for you. We are regulars and it never disappoints!

Love the food. The guys all seem very genuine and the sag paneer is seriously good. Yum bloody yum! You guys are a credit to the trade! Keep up the good work. 😁

He usado canela varias veces durante Lockdown para comida para llevar, y cada comida ha sido excelente sin platos rebeldes. El menú es extenso con buenas opciones vegetarianas ya buen precio. Entrega muy confiable. ¿Qué más podrías querer?

This is my favorite Indian and have been ordering it for years but lately the pieces of chicken in the curries keep getting smaller and this is the main reason I get from here because all the other Indian's do the same thing think I'm going to have to find another one

we ordered takeaway from cinnamon last week and the food was really nice and the lamb bari khana was fantastic very tasty i would recommend this to you and their is varied of items in the menu.

Fantastic menu brilliant food, speedy delivery, well priced. What more can you ask. Would recommend Cinnamon to anyone. Thank you very much for bringing a smile into lock down.

Great family takeaway last weekend - food delicious, good portions, well priced and speedy delivery. Excellent and varied menu. Totally recommend !

Excellent customer service and beautifully flavoured food, I've been ordering from here for years and I have yet to be disappointed.

I’m a vegetarian and this place caters well, Great food and great value for money. Staff is very nice and attentive.

¡Evitar! Increíblemente dulce al curry, y olvidé los poppadoms. Llamaron por teléfono para avisarles y aceptaron entregar un Rogan Josh. En su lugar, pensé que era un buen servicio (aunque insistieron en que era mi culpa ...), ¡y luego querían que lo pagáramos! Teníamos muchas ganas de probar esto, ya que ha sido altamente recomendado: parece que se ha ido cuesta abajo.

Avoid! Inedibly sweet curry, and forgot poppadoms. Phoned up to let them know and they agreed to deliver a Rogan Josh instead which I thought was good service (although they were insistent it was my fault..), then wanted us to pay for it!

Top! Supernett, echt authentische indische Küche zu nem fairen Preis.

Solid. Get the pink Reshmi, chilli chicken masala and the chicken dish with asafoetida (forgotten the name). The menu is too big so some dishes disappoint but figure out which are good and to your liking and they will deliver consistently to a high standard in large portions at a reasonable price. What more can you want?

Había estado buscando un buen curry por un tiempo y este lugar me ha traído recuerdos de Birmingham, donde crecí con algunos de los mejores curries. Sabe increíble, siempre fresco y caliente, y el encargado de la entrega y el personal de recepción son amables. Me encanta este lugar y he comido varias veces, no te decepcionará. Además, no usan los recipientes de plástico que usan los recipientes plateados como solían hacer para mantener todo caliente. Creo que los recipientes de plástico degradan el plato.

One of the best Take-Away food in South London. the food is so tasty and delicious. Every dish is super yummy... The starters are mouth watering.... The Flavours are 'Heavenly'.... You need to give this place a Try...

Oily, fake food colouring which stained everything. Bland, oddly sweet tasting curries.

Meh. Food was flavorful but they skimp on the meat and cover it up with veggies. Also, service could be a little more attentive than shouting across the restaurant.

I usually get a couple of curries on a Friday and Saturday night delivered to me but since last Friday 30th Nov and Saturday 01st Dec, the lamb and chicken curries were not the same, they tasted oilier, heavier and less delicious than previously. I tried them again on Tuesday and it was still the same, to the point where it was un-edible. Bring back the other chef!!!!

Hemos comido en algunos de los mejores indios y esto está en nuestro top 2, Cinnamon Platter fabuloso junto con el balti massala y Murgi (¡El arroz con ajo es imprescindible, gracias por hacerlo para nosotros!) ¡Recomendado! *****

I’m writing as I’m eating because this place is amazing! I’m so happy in the way only good food can make you feel. Cinnamon is best Indian in south London. Lemongrass lamb starter is so fresh and zingy. Staff lovely and knowledgable. Has been known as a take away place so the decor isn’t all singing and dancing but this adds to the charm in my opinion.

Nice food, good takeaway option, but the dining-in option looks a little...sad. Never seen anyone eating there, and only 4 tables.

This is hands down one of the best takeaways in town. The delivery is quick, the portion sizes are perfect and it taste clean and not greasy like these other places. Recommend it.

Honestly the best one in town. The food arrives quicky, the portion sizes are great and the food is clean and not greasy like these other resturaunts. If I could give them more stars I would.

Best Indian in South East London. No other compares. Its a shame they're not open Monday, as we've just ordered another Indian takeaway and the quality between the two is night and day. I have vowed never to order another Indian unless its Cinnamon. Portion sizes are perfect, food is freshly prepared and sauces are not greasy unlike this other takeaway I've ordered. Also delivery is pretty quick! Sorry I cheated on you cinnamon, never again!

Best curry in south London. Amazing food and prices.

I would advice you not to eat here if you are vegetarian.... Luckily I am not .as there was piece of mutton in my vegetarian madras ! I contacted the owner to suggest he find out what happened in his kitchen that night as my friends are vegetarians and I know they would probably throw up with such an incident.. They did reply and said they would find out ..and never heard a thing ...so over to the power of Google ...there is no escaping sloppy business !!!!

There is only space for about 12 to eat in, but it is well worth being one of the 12! The menu is extensive with beautiful fish curries as well as more tradional dishes. The food is high quality and very well cooked. An excellend blend of spices is used and oil or ghee is certaily not over used. The service is excellent and probably, because of the take away turnover, the ingredients were really fresh. On top of everything it was great value for money especially as BYO is welcomed with no extra cost. If you are a student at Goldsmiths or live local make this place your regular Indian. You won't be disappointed!

Amazing service, food and price. So chuffed! Thank you!

Excellent food for its price range. There's an extensive range of vegetarian options. Delivery / takeaway service available.

My girlfriend told me to try place out as I love food as it my career and I absolutely loved it I've been three times since try the pistachio paneer masala out this world

Great quality food as ever. Only stopped by for a takeaway this time, but was pleased with the food, speed and price.

Decent quality food, friendly service and keenly priced. I've been going for years and will continue to!

Cinnamon is our local Indian restaurant and we are so happy it is! The food is reliably solid, the delivery is always faster than they estimate, and it's super reasonable - our £17 order usually feeds the two of us a large dinner with enough left over for our lunches the next day. The Murgh Bari Khana is one of my favorite dishes, especially in the colder months. One thing I really like about Cinnamon is that the food is never oily/greasy, which a lot of take away can be. Overall, Cinnamon is a great spot for take away or delivery (I've never eaten in the restaurant).

Been there today with my gf, the waiter was really rude, we asked for mild food, but he gives us really spicy, when we tell him it's too hot then instead of saying sorry he said Indian people like spicy that's why i give you spicy, really disappointed when we ask him twice for mild food while ordering food,

Food was gorgeous. Best indian I've had in a long while. Chicken madras and mushroom rice was so tasty. My new local go to spot

Delicious and fresh food! The staff and the owner were extremely nice and helpful! Probably the best Indian restaurant in the area.

My go to option when I don't feel like cooking

I was staying in the area and looked at the reviews on here so gave it ago and the food is great and a really freindly sevice to

I have lived in London for 7 years, and have tried to find a curry house that I could call 'the one'. That day has arrived people! Everything from the telephone order, delivery time, delivery driver, and the food...oh the food. You will not be disappointed!

I love this place. Their food is really good. It's fresh, not too heavy on the use of ghee, loads of vegetables in the main dishes and big portions. My go to Indian takeaway.

My partner and I had a craving for Indian foods and had a look around what was avaliable. We stumbled upon cinnamon and definitly were not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious from starters to main course. Our waiter Abdul was polite, attentive and always happy to help. A shame we are going home to Australia otherwise we would definitely be back.

Excellent and varied curries on offer . Take your own drinks with no charge for opening the wine , which is a serious bonus . Good service and prices , though watch the price of the papads they offer you , if I remember right they are £5 for 4 plus the dips , bit cheeky . Apart from that everything else was super .

We have eaten in here once before and is a quiet place but very friendly,tonight we had a take away and very cheap and amazing food very big potions we go all over eaten Indians and this is up there with the best!! Superb!!

My daughter uses this take way regularly but won't do so again unless they really try to apologise . We ordered at 7 pm and was told it would take 50 minutes, we eventually got it after 8.30 following several phone calls. No apologies, we couldn't speak to the manager and no explanation. She asked for a refund butt none forth coming. The food was delicious but cold so had to be reheated in the oven and microwave before we could enjoy it. A very very poor service. A simple phone call, apology or discount would have defused the situation but there was no attempt to keep a regular customer happy. Such a shame but recommend you don't use this restaurant if you want a service you can relyon.

Not one to write reviews but had best curry in a while from these guys yesterday. Highly recommend this place.

Absolutely the best Indian takeaway in London. I've lived all over and tried every Indian in the land and this is THE one. It's very well priced. The portions are humongous and the quality is absolutely unrivalled. Dhansak is hot and rich, tandoori chicken succulent and massive. Naan's soft and fluffy, bhajis crisp and not greasy. The food is piping and the staff friendly. If you're within delivery range seriously don't go anywhere else. I love Cinnamon, you've got a customer for life. Never change.

Me pareció que era muy bueno para una casa local de curry. El servicio era increíble, la comida era deliciosa y permiten BYOB (sin cargo corkage_nms) porque no tenía una licencia de licor. Pequeño pero agradable zona de comedor. Volveré.

BEST INDIAN TAKE AWAY IN THE UK!!!!

Good food, terrible service for delivery, can't understand anything you're asking for, no confidence the right food will turn up

we went to this restaurant because of the reviews i read it was very misleading it was was just your average indian and no i would not go back

Good food in a very informal environment

Visited Cinnamon last night after looking for an Indian in the area. What a find! The food was all excellent, very well spiced and flavourful. So glad I there is a place of this quality in my area, I'll definitely be back.

So glad that TripAdvisor led us here. Everything was delicious, and a couple of the dishes were recipes we had never seen before. Clean and friendly too. It's BYOB, no corkage, and there are a couple of stores within 2 minute walk. Good night.

We visit regularly as it's our local & what a local to have! The food is always great, the best Tarka Dhal you will eat anywhere! The staff are friendly & helpful. You must take your own wine, as it's not licensed, but that suits us! Importantly they have a good food hygiene rating, which is a must for us! If you haven't been, it's a must try!

The only place I order Indian takeaway from. Guaranteed delicious and so fresh mmmmm

This place is a little Brockley gem - great indian food, well priced, interesting choices for veggies like me and people are very friendly. Try it!

Everything we had was delicious! From samosa to tikka masala, tandoori chicken and veggie korma, loved it. Can't wait to return next time we're in London.

I'm amazed at how good the food is here - not your standard Indian restaurant, but tastes really fresh with some more unusual dishes available too. The Goan fish curry and the Tarka Dall are our favourites. The Naan breads are good too.They've recently done up the decor too (though the picture on this site is definitely for the wrong restaurant!) and we always like chatting with the staff who are really friendly.Plus it's BYOB which is always handy.Whether for takeaway or for a restaurant meal, if you're nearby definitely go to Cinnamon!

Been getting takeaway delivered from year for years. Always excellent and good value, fast delivery too. When we have visitors we often order in and they always comment on how good it is too. Definitely recommend

This is the best 'standard' indian takeaway in New X / Brockers. Obviously you can upgrade to babur, but for over 5 years they've been reliable and delicious. they're also full of banter f you and eat there - plus it's BYOB!

This take away curry tastes fantastic- much better quality and flavour than usually found in a take away!

Now you would never have expected this, but that little restaurant will actually surprise you by its friendliness, cleanliness and more importantly it will serve you the best indian dishes miles around. unbeatable prices and take-away.

Food is great and reasonablely priced. Has become our regular.

This is not your run of the mill Indian. The food is exceptional. It may seem a little bit more expensive than a standard Indian but the food is absolutely delicious. The lamb shank is our favourite. It would feed two easily.

The food is good, and it certainly better than any other Indian locally. The restaurant is quiet, and drinks pricey so we normally get a take away. (Frequently).

Better than standard Indian with some unusual-ish dishes on the menu. Very reasonably priced, especially given the generous portions.

We have eaten twice in the restaurant and taken away once. Each time the food has been of a very good quality. The meat is of a high quality. The staff are all very friendly and attentive. We have eaten in many Indian restaurants including some in Northern India and this one ranks highly.Each dish has its own subtle flavour and taste. The restaurant is small but very welcoming. We would recommend this to anyone living or visiting the local area. Superb.

Unfortunately in ten years we have failed to find a good indian sub continental takeaway in south east London. Cinamon hasn't failed to dissappoint.Too much oil in everything, over complex menu, bad bread.SE4, London needs an indian style takeaway with few very good dishes, cooked very well - whomever could do this would make a lot of money.
