Cinnamon Leiston in Suffolk Coastal

This is a superb restaurant, food is outstanding, service is excellent, one of my top 2 of all Indian restaurants I've ever been to.

Very good food for takeaway! Made to feel very welcome when collected it too (fantastic service)

Great service. Great food. V enjoyable.

The food was very good and the atmosphere is energetic with good Indian music. There is a bubble water machine and nice staff.

Really solid experience. Food was very good. Shaslik and Korma really tasty. My lamb tikka madras was a little chewy for my taste, but chicken dishes succulent. Staff friendly and helpful and laid back. My son loved the garlic cheese naan.

Afternoon tea was not to the standard I would have expected. Nothing like the advertising pictures

Visited this Indian with friends hoping for a relaxed Saturday night out. We booked for 6.30. We hadn’t even finished our poppadoms and were told your main is ready so we had little choice but to have it. As we finished the main they cleared away the plates. We expected to be offered coffees or dessert but instead the bill was dropped on the table. Very shortly after the waiter came over with the card machine and announced the table was required for 7.30. We were dumbfounded. We were not advised of this when booking or even on arrival. The food was good but we will not return here. Greed overtook customer service and they did not care even when we voiced our dissatisfaction. Will hopefully get better service at the new one in Sax.

Called in as saw restaurant when driving by. Glad we did , as from front of house to the decor and quality of food was perfect. You were made to feel very welcome. The meal itself was great tasting and certainly plenty of it! We will certainly recommend to anyone who is visiting the area

food was very good,but table was booked by phone for 6.30.when we arrived showed to our table and ordererd our food. before we had finished the popadoms we were told our main was ready and was brought straight out.as soon as we had finished our meal the bill was presented with a complimentery drink,we thought this was a joke but the manager came over and asked us to leave the table as there was another booking,this was 7.30 one hour after we arrived.we tried to explain we had booked,he told us there was two sittings one at 5.30 and 7.30.We was not told this when we booked nor when we arrived. would not recommend this place to anyone,only interested in makeing money not customer service

Fantastic food, couldn't fault it. Very reasonable prices. Very friendly staff, just the right amount of attention. Surroundings good, nice atmosphere. A thoroughly enjoyable evening. Will definitely visit again.

We’re staying in Snape for a few nights and we fancied an Indian takeaway, so we thought we’d try Cinnamon based on its good reviews. The chicken tikka makhani and jalfrezi were very good, as were the naan breads, although the vegetable side dishes were a little underwhelming. The staff were lovely and we’d certainly visit again if we were in the area.

The meal was very good. Portions were large and very well presented. Could not fault the service. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Taking my wife out for her birthday; we tried Cinnamon for the first time since moving to the area. We had heard great things about this place, but when we first moved here, it was undergoing a major refurb But wow!! We’ve been missing out on what is probably the best Indian restaurant in the whole area (and I do like an Indian😉) And to add that the head waiter recognised me from one of our local Indian restaurants where we lived previously from when I used to dine out with a very rowdy but well behaved football team I ran. All I can say is that my wife and I were treated like royalty for the whole evening and were treated to a fantastic feast of excellent, tasty, superbly cooked and presented food There was no rush like in some Indian restaurants to get you in, fed, money taken and out…we enjoyed a thoroughly relaxing evening eating our favourite dishes So all in all, a big ‘THANK YOU’ to owner Kay and his team for making my wife’s birthday a memorable event. We were made to feel extremely welcome and the atmosphere was like you were eating at someone’s home rather than a commercial establishment Fully recommend this amazing restaurant and will be using this as our ‘local’ when needing a fix of Indian food

Indian food at it’s best. We revisited this place twice recently as not been since 2019 and since then the whole place has been refurbished. What a difference! Still one of the friendliest welcomes in Suffolk, the place is stylish, warm and even the bathrooms are spotless. The food is excellent, consistent quality and reasonably priced. Seating is comfortable and not overcrowded. The place is busy most nights and especially the weekends when the noise increases, but request a corner table if like me you are hard of hearing. So lucky to have rediscovered Cinnamon as our local Indian restaurant.

First time going to Cinnamon and it was great! The service was exceptional and the staff were really generous and friendly. The prices were reasonable and the food was really lovely! Thank you for a lovely evening!

First time in 3 years had a bad meal and service

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 be returning!

Nice friendly staff and fresh clean tasty food

Myself and my husband went for our 18 year anniversary last night before going to the cinema. We decided to stay local and I'm so glad we did. Once again the food was amazing, service was fabulous and I honestly cannot fault a single thing.

We called at this straight forward country Indian restaurant having seen good reviews on Tripadvisor. The food is good and the service both extremely friendly and efficient. A car park directly across the road makes access particularly easy and if in area, it’s a great place to stop off. Recommended

We visit a lot!!! - for take away, we live locally, service and food are the best. Love it. Two drinks served the second we arrive. Nowhere else compares. Great vegetarian options, and best Dahl I’ve had. Plenty of choices and a great menu. Thanks for the best service and conversations.

Best Indian restaurant for miles around, top notch food and friendly staff have used a few times now and will continue only using this restaurant.

First visit since refurbishment- great welcome, good food and lovely atmosphere 😊

My 3 kids came up from London and all said it's the best Indian they've ever had. Amazing food with great service. Fantastic night. Top drawer!!

We were having a short break in the area and, having heard excellent reports of Cinnamon, my daughter ordered a takeaway. However, I wasn’t bowled over with my chicken tikka which seemed to have an odd flavour that I couldn’t pinpoint. The other two meals were also chicken, one being a korma and the other being a jalfrezi, so I tasted both dishes and detected the same taste in the chicken. For the avoidance of any doubt, I had no concerns that the chicken was ‘off’. Given that Cinnamon’s menu is massive, it’s just not possible for each order to be freshly cooked. I’d hazard a guess that the kitchen uses a basic sauce to which different ingredients are added for each order. My daughter and son-in-law said their food was okay but, sorry to say that I wasn’t impressed.

We got a late takeaway from Cinnamon recently after a busy day had left us too tired to cook, and the shops were all shut anyway. They took our order and were very helpful with specific dietary restrictions that we had. The food was ready in 20 minutes approximately, tasted fresh and was delicious

Amazing food and brilliant hospitality, love the place🫶 I would recommend to anyone in need of a delicious curry!!!

This curry house is another great find. If you’re in the area, they have been established here since around 2003 and they gave the restaurant a full upgrade during the pandemic shutdown. The first thing that you will encounter is a lovely warm, welcome, and extensive menu, which, if I was to be a tiny bit picky, I would say needs to be slimmed down quite a bit. Our waiter was super helpful and friendly, he explained a number of the special dishes, so we made our selection, and as usual we overordered. Nonetheless, the food was good, I’ll give it a 4 out of 5 simply because, one or two of the dishes weren’t as fully flavoured as I was expecting.

Excellent food Staff were polite couldn’t do enough Can not fault anything recommended this restaurant

What a lovely time we had, food was excellent, service was top class, they all couldn't do enough for us, polite, friendly staff, definitely would go back.

We visited after a long day walking and had a wonderful meal. The service was brilliant and the food was so tasty. I would highly recommend. It is clearly popular and there were other eating on a Wednesday evening. Would love to come back if we are ever back this way.

Fabulous tasty food. Well presented and friendly staff

Outstanding service ,delicious food,especially Raju,newly appointed staff member.there is a real buzz there.busy early sundayevenng Kay’s super host

Delicious food and suck kind people. Glad to have had dinner here!

We visited as walk ins on Friday evening. We were seated immediately & received a warm welcome. Staff very friendly & attentive. The food was delicious & great portion sizes. Complimentary Bombay potatoes & cocktails were a nice touch. Prices very reasonable. Will visit again when we are in the area 😀

Very friendly place. My food was excellent but prawn pathia was lacking flavour. Recommended you book for Saturday.

Always impeccable service and the food is great. We always visit when up from East London.

I cant recommend the food here high enough. On my last visit I had Sheek Kebab and Lamb Dhansak. Both were absolutely Gorgeous. Cooked to perfection and generous portions. The service was excellent too. Personally? I think they,ve got it spot on.👌👌👌👌 See you again very soon. Steve G

Had a delicious dinner. We had poppadoms, onion bhaji and vegetable samosas which were very generous in size. Then we shared chicken shashlick with rice and king prawn chef special all beautifully cooked. Finished with a lovely pistachio kulfi which came in a ceramic pot. The staff were lovely and very helpful and the decor is very nice with photos of India, interesting lighting and a water feature. A highlight of our holiday so far.

Absolutely excellent food, could not fault it at all. Excellent service too would definitely recommend 100% Even got a one to one recommendation on what to try when ordering considering our preferences and tastes. Spot on 5 stars for sure 🌟

Well, I promised a review, and here it is. After a fabulous meal at Cinnamon previously, we decided to book again, this time bringing our friends with us. Quite frankly, I didn't think it could get any better, but the Cinnamon team delivered on every level. With delicious food, healthy portion sizes, and a hilarious maitre d', our meal was one of the highlights of our holiday in Suffolk. The table was laden with food, from sizzling lamb tikka, to buttery naan, and platters piled high with rice. For me, the star of the show was the Saag paneer, my go-to side dish at an Indian. Creamy and rich, with a melt-in-the-mouth texture, I'd be hard-pressed to think of one better than Cinnamon's. And finally, for the big kids on the table, the 'Punky' and 'Eggman' icecreams proved to be a comedic (and tasty) end to a lovely evening. Thank you, I look forward to returning soon.

Fantastic curry, bhajis are fat and curries are generous portions and chicken is chicken tikka so really tender and jalfrezi was perfectly spiced, highly recommend!

Oh my, not that we doubted the previous reviews, but frankly I don't think there's much one can say about this little gem, except GO! I'm not the easiest to cater for with onions off the menu but the team looked after me with the tastiest Indian I've had for a long time. Rest of the family (who eat onions happily) reported that they'd dined with delight too. Thank you. We will be back. Next weekend in fact!

We came from east London Whitechapel. Good and service was excellent.they treated us like there family. Owner and stuff was excellent. Gave us some extra dishes for free to try and it was wonderful. Thanks brothers we Will see you all again in sha Allah.

I cannot emphasise how brilliant this restaurant is. The service could and should win awards. The setting and decor is perfect and the food is amazing. The team treat every customer like royalty and nothing is too much for them. We've visited at least twice a year for almost 10 yrs and it gets better every time.

We’re staying around 5 miles outside Leiston and decided to have a curry. A quick Google search showed 3 restaurants in the local area, but we decided to try Cinnamon because of the great reviews and I’m so glad we did because the food and hospitality was amazing. We will definitely be coming back before the week is out, see you soon.

Really nice food and very attentive service. Couldn't do enough for us. Large portions and reasonably priced. Very busy which is a good sign. Recommend booking ahead to ensure you get a table. Deserves its awards!

Excellent service with outstanding food

Excellent Indian food, enjoyed all we had. Large car park directly opposite, free after 6pm. I think we were lucky to get in without reservation as the locale is not big and it filled up. 4* for atmosphere as i found the Indian music unnecessary.

We came here after a 5-hour drive from Middlesbrough. So pleased we stopped here for some amazing food. Very welcoming, attentive made us feel very relaxed, big portions, very good prices.

Best restaurant round in Leiston fantastic food and service very clean definite we will be back Thank you Cinnamon

Very good food. Everytime I sleep in Leiston I try to visit the Cinnamon.

Fantastic menu. The food and service was superb. By far the best indian we have ever had. We will definitely be going back soon.

Second time here. Great host remembered us from early in the year. Fantastic host very friendly and helpful. Meal was fantastic as last time. Friend had something off menu made specially for him. The best curry I’ve had in a very long time. The flavours...

Wonderful experience, great food, great atmosphere and attentive staff

The food here has been very good on every visit along with the friendly service..

Excellent service. Food first class, full of flavour, delicious

Popped in on our way back to our hotel as having a few days away from home in Yorkshire. The staff could not gave been more friendly or welcoming and the food was delicious, top class.

Very good food, pleasant staff and a fair price , would recommend

Clean, lovely attentive staff, food was better than average and comp dish and drink was a lovely suprise

Lovely food great service. Thank you!

Really lovely evening here tonight. Food and service amazing.

We always like to return to Cinnamon in Leiston. Excellent food and very friendly service. King Prawns Ahmed are one of my particular favourites.

Fantastic food, fantastic service! A large family take away for 13 people excellently catered for! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. Just what they all needed after a long journey from the north to Suffolk. It was a great start to a lovely Easter weekend! Thank...

Excellent in every way, delicious, very good quality food, very relaxing, unhurried but not slow. Looking forward to going again

You make you're madras with Heinz Tomato soup and chilli. This is completely unacceptable. Ready meals are more tasty that this rubbish. You should be ashamed to call this a curry

We had a party of 8, although the curries were ok two dishes only had 4 pieces of chicken in. The vegetarian dish was tasteless.

An absolute gem of a place! The food is only superseded by the incredible service. Authentic curry that harks back to the days of old in terms of flavour and quality. Every visit is as good as the last so it’s a must visit when...

Having arrived quite late on the off chance we would get a table, we were treated very well and a table was quickly prepared for us. The food was very good indeed and the staff are attentive, cheerful and efficient. I have no hesitation in...

Excellent food very friendly staff, we enjoyed ourselves.

Awful meal, loads missing and no help when called up, even hung up on us, very rude

Awful customer service when called up to complain, when half of our meal was missing, even hung up on the phone when we called to talk to them , terrible take away service

Half the meals was missing after collection, no help wanted us to come and collect there mistake, even hung up the phone to us, very rude, do not recommend

We didn’t dine in but ordered a takeaway for collection by phone. Gentleman who took the order was very friendly and the order was ready on time and we didn’t have to wait at all when collecting. We liked the food but weren’t as wowed...

I’m visiting from Oregon, USA and went to dinner here and I cannot praise how amazing this place was. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They were so kind as I’ve never had Indian food before. The food ordered came out hot (not in...

Effusive welcome. Took a while to take our food order, but then everything arrived swiftly. Not a lot of flavour in anything, and moderate portions. Hand-written bill, with no itemisation.

Fantastic food and service. Would thoroughly recommend Cinnamon. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Leiston is lucky to have this place.

Best Indian restaurant I've been in for a long time. The staff were so polite and attentive. The food was served well and tasted great. Will definitely be back soon.

A really lovely local restaurant. The most friendly staff, warm atmosphere and great food. Thanks!

The people who work there are super nice and a food is amazing, I would recommend the cheesy garlic naan bread They sometimes like to throw in something else for free on the house but they get to choose

The town was quiet as we walked up the High Street, until that is we arrived at Cinnamon, which was packed. They squeezed us in and when our food arrived, we discovered why this place is so busy. It was excellent! Also nice was to...

I was new to the area and thought we would try the local curry takeaway. Not the best curry the sauce was watery. Will not be going back

Had a lovely meal as always with good friends. Great eve

We found ourselves stranded for food options this evening and after searching on Google we found Cinnamon nearby. We ordered online - they offered delivery option but quickly rang to say that they didn’t have a driver and were very apologetic about it - we had no problem driving over as only 10 mins away and they refunded the delivery charge. Lamb & chicken starters were great, Lamb bhuna and prawn balti were very tasty too. Perfectly spiced & we loved them. Would highly recommend!

Best Indian food locally in my opinion.

Excellent local restaurant. Everything that you could wish for in an Indian restaurant Great service and great food

Ordered butter chicken and chicken korma and 2 rice the butter chicken was not a butter chicken worse curry I've had in a long time would not order again would avoid ordering anything from there

Lovely Indian restaurant that caters for fussy eaters too!!! (Chicken and chips!) We all had Indian dishes, which were delicious 😋

Very good service on the phone placing our order and very polite and welcoming service when collecting our order. Food very good value with excellent size portions. Will be using this restaurant again.

Amazing restaurant, the food is delicious, the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended. Best Indian Restaurant ever !

Lovely food. We had the lamb tikka rogan and chicken tikka balti. The naan breads were amazing. Friendly, speedy service. Really good experience.

Delicious food with an class A customer service. Couldn't have ask for better service.

Nice staff, bland curry. It was literally boiled veg in tomato water.

Good food and drinks and snacks

Picked up a chicken dhansak earlier this evening thinking you can't really go wrong with it. But I was mistaken. There were just a few pieces of chicken swimming in a thin watery sauce that had very little taste. It should have a thick lentil sauce and be Madras hot. The lamb tikka starter was fine so 2 stars instead of 1. But I won't be going back. Guess I am spoiled by living in London

Always great service and amazing food.

Great food and service; we’ve had a couple of takeaways from here but simply a different experience to dine in. Fresh flavours, great choice of dishes, an absolute winner. Thank you so very much and see you again soon!

Not been since last summer and cinnamon was absolutely excellent as always. Lovely chana puri, tasty lamb and king prawn dhansaks accompanied by pilau rice and peshwari nsn. Staff friendly and charming. We will.be back.

Ate here one evening during a holiday to the area. Great food and service at a reasonable price. Would definitely eat here again.
