Cinnamon Takeaway in Canterbury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Tried this Indian takeaway on my visit to Canterbury this past May. The folks running it are pretty decent, and the prices are reasonable. The food was okay, but the aloo gobi was a bit too oily. The rice could have been given in a smaller quantity as well. Overall the service was okay, but the food quality can be a bit better.

It was a really bad experience. The food was bland and very oily. Keema naam was the worst. There was barely any stuffing and what was had no taste whatsoever.

Great food, as always. Delivery was late though

Though they gave me 3 garlic naans instead of 3 vegetable naans and coconut rice instead of pilau rice, they were quick to send someone around to make good on their mistake.

Half of my order was missing phoned time and time again nearly 2 hours later the rest arrived

Missing my rice of my order phoned up to ask about the it was told the driver was there and ready to leave to bring the rest of my food half hour goes past call again and was told there waiting for a driver and got ignored when called another half hour later finally and hour and half after I called about my food my rice arrived very unhappy as waited to have our rice before our food ended up having to eat it cold without rice not what you want after a long day at work

First time ordering from here and I was not disappointed! I Was recommended to try the Chicken Morisha by the gent on the phone, and it was to die for. As a northerner, I know a good curry when I see one! The portion was perfect, plenty of chicken and just the right amount of spice! Will definitely be ordering again when I’m back in the area.

Fantastic food. First time I’ve ordered there. Will definitely again. Highly recommend

Really tasty food, and great quality! Definitely would order again, portion sizes are outstanding and staff were really lovely.

Ordered online, was ready at said time. Food hot, good portions, tasty curries. Nann and bhaji l could have done with a bit more flavour, but overall pretty good

Just about to tuck in and it is beautiful, authentic food as always :-)

I’ve ordered the chicken tikka masala and it was too sweet and it had bits of coconuts which I do mind because they didn’t state the coconuts in the description

Would have given this 5 stars as food was delicious, but their tandor oven clearly needs replacing as we had bits of it stuck to the back of our naan breads, huge chunky bits of what seemed like concrete… luckily I narrowly avoided biting down on a big piece but it was like eating sand!!!

great delivery plus as always our curry was really nice.

Food was ordered and delivered about 70 mins later. Was luke warm when turned up and forgot the naan bread. Phoned up to say the bread was forgotten, they just offered it off the next one but seeing this was the first and probably last time I would order I did not want that. I asked for a refund but that seemed very difficult to acheive and they would call me back. Not had a callback and would probably not order again as it was nice enough food, not very hot by the time it got delivered and the fact that stuff was not there that should have been, was a bit. Disappointed.

Definitely the best takeaway in Canterbury!

Edit 04/03/2024 - really annoyed. Food taken more than an hour and a half and still not here. The guy on the phone just keeps saying its on its way. He doesn't speak clearly, its not the usual guy, maybe change of ownership?. Will update when (if?) food actually arrives........well the order took nearly 2 hours - driver very apologetic and said that the other driver was off sick. Food was nice when it did arrive. Might give them another chance! Previous:- Always have a delivery from here when we have Indian food. Its always good and when they tell you how long its going to be, it does actually arrive when they say! Lovely.

During a recent visit to Canterbury, I had the pleasure of dining from Cinnamon Indian Takeaway. While the establishment is strictly a takeaway, thus negating the ambiance typically associated with dining in, I feel compelled to address the parking situation. Prospective diners should be aware that parking is notably challenging, as the vicinity lacks dedicated spaces and is riddled with double yellow lines. Additionally, the location is not particularly car-friendly due to its confined space and narrow roadways. Despite these logistical challenges, the allure of Cinnamon's cuisine was strong enough to draw us back on consecutive days. The menu offers a delightful array of dishes, from which we chose the tarka dal, palak aloo, roti, and rice. Each dish was a testament to authentic Indian flavors, particularly the tarka dal, which was customized to our preference: sugar-free, piping hot, and bursting with traditional desi flavors. The service was another highlight, characterized by exceptionally friendly staff who added to the overall positive experience. However, it's worth mentioning a slight drawback regarding the portion sizes. Compared to other takeaways, the servings here are modest, with side dish containers not filled to the brim, which could be a point of contention for those with heartier appetites. In conclusion, if you're in the Canterbury area and have a craving for authentic Indian cuisine, Cinnamon Indian Takeaway is worth the visit. Just be prepared for the parking predicament and slightly smaller portions – but rest assured, the flavors and friendly service more than make up for these minor inconveniences.

did not get my order have tried ringing no answer.

First class food as always will not hesitate to order from again

miss one item and couldn't do enough for us ... resent the miss curry with extras.... extra quick too... Great Communication..... 👍

food is incredible as usual, always hot, fresh and full of flavour!

Everything lovely. First time ordering and am very impressed.

Fantastic still warm when arrived, the bloke who delivered the food, had Fantastic customer service.

They never delivered the order after 3 hours of waiting and didn’t pick up the phone. Terrible service!

Absolutely appreciated the food and delivery

The korma is overly sweet with the only taste being its sweetness and overwhelming coconut, labelled under the audacious title of traditional dishes. The chicken bhuna isn't quite as bad but also has no distinctive flavour with a tinge of blandness. The 'mix starter' was nice surprisingly however with good flavour and juicy meat. There were no problem with delivery service or arrival speeds. The samosas were okay, can't complain but not noteworthy either. TLDR; Don't consider it.

Ordered from here a couple of times now and found the food to be the best curry I’ve had in Canterbury. I order veggie curries, and the mix of veg is good. Good arrived within an hour and hot. No complaints.

Food came out a few minutes after waiting which was ok but the restauranteur took too long printing a VAT receipt. Food was getting cold. Food was average ok. 3 out 5.

This was our go-to takeaway, but it now turns up late and cold with dishes missing. The quality and quantity of meat in the dishes has drastically decreased. Customer service isn't what it once was either. Such a shame as over the last 5 years I must have over 100 takeaways from them but the last few months have been such a let-down.

Tried them.out again today as they did hold out an olive branch, onlly to wait again well over two hours. That was the last chance saloon Used the Cinnemon for 13 years. Since its changed hands in the last couple of weeks, we have had the worst 3 takeaways ever. The first order we had was a total different taste, you could tell the chef had changed. Vgave them the benefit of the doubt and re ordered. Late delivery and when it finally arrived, the rice dishes were missing. When we called to complain we got told that we could have them on our next order. Certainly wasn't going to have a curry without rice. Ordered again tonight at 7.17pm and it has just arrived at 9.03pm again the order was short, one of the main dishes chicken tikka comes with a salad but it was missing. I will never use Cinnemon again

Wow! Ordered easily over the phone after having problems online. The delivery to Chartham was so quick. The food was piping hot and very tasty and great portion size too. Highly recommend.

My favourite Indian in Canterbury 👍🏾

We always order from cinnamon, it’s the best curry in town. Always fresh and tasty, but last weeks order blew us away; it arrived at our door in 13 minutes! Wouldn’t order from anywhere else

The best Indian takeaway in Canterbury! Always delicious, hot and delivered super fast. Our go to every time. Highly recommend.

Anytime we place an order on a Saturday we have the best experience. This is the best curry restaurant in Canterbury, but it’s not always consistent…weekday experiences are not as good as on a Saturday. This evening we had the best meal we’ve had in 15+ years!

My chicken wasn't cooked all the way through and it was cold the narn was also soggy and under cooked. When I attempted to speak to the restaurant about this they didn't offer to resend the food or refund me! In fact they said I'm just a complainer several times and hung up on me! Disgusting food disgraceful service!!!!

Excellent food 🔥👌, Fast Delivery, Best Curry 🍛 I have Ordered in Canterbury in 5 years. Should of Ordered from Cinnamon a long time ago 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Always great curry from the Cinnamon. Been going here for years, best in Canterbury.

For takeaway curry this is the best in town. I always order different curry dishes and have never been disappointed. Having tried a few different takeaways in the area I will always go here. The chicken tikka chilli masala is great 👍

Got our order wrong, but that’s not the biggest problem we had a long presumably female hair in our alo paratha which made me vomit upon seeing this.

Best Indian delivery in Canterbury, king prawn vindaloo was amazing

Brilliant food and the staff brilliant fresh veg that's portant I will tecormand to other people

Chose this restaurant as it was able to deliver. A typical oder of chicken dansak, chicken korma, pilau rice, bhaji and poppadoms. Food arrived on time and hot enough to serve straightaway. Both curries were delicious with seemingly good quality chicken used. Generous portions too.

Too sweet, food looked a bit artificial and coloured. Korma didn’t taste good at all

Fantastic food! All t hevegetarian options are excellent!

Always use this takeaway ,the best by far in Canterbury ,great food and very prompt delvery

Best Indian food I ever had since I moved to Canterbury. I only give 4 stars because some piece of chicken in my food was hard.But overall the food was delicious.

Excellent food. large portions, timely service - the best Dansak in Canterbury. Not the cheapest by far but definitely the best! Highly recommend.

Hands down best Indian in Canterbury

Delicious food. Love the ease of using the website. Friendly service. Good value for money.

Excellent cuisine right in Canterbury. The dishes are delicious and the quantity is more than sufficient. Price and performance are exceptional. One of the best takeaways in town for us. Thank you for the great work!

Great! Highly recommend this as a takeaway. Been going there a good number of years and each time as good as the last!

Gone right down hill, religiously used these for a few years, now I use the new one up the road, shame as they were great, now watery, paps not fresh, I gave them a second go as thought it was one duff meal and unfortunately not, spoke to some friends and family that I recommended here over the years and they also said it had gone down hill and they don’t use them now 🥲

First Indian we've tried in Canterbury and it's the last, no point trying to find somewhere better - it won't exist! Everything was tasty, delivered precisely when they said it would and the driver was very pleasant

I do not often write reviews in fear that the business I review gets so busy that the service drops.... but I can not, not post a review on this AMAZING restaurant!!! For over 1 year most weeks we have a take away from here and have ALWAYS had consistent and absolutely gorgeous food from this place!! You can order online... And they deliver on time. I always recommend Cinnamon to friends and family who are now solid customers and love their food too!!

Alright. Let me preface this by saying that I am an American. I do understand the palate in the UK is very different. I'm writing this review for other the benefit of American tourists such as myself. I ordered Chicken Tikka masala (national dish), chicken passanda, and saag paneer. They were all overwhelmingly sweet. Think sweet potatoes or butternut squash on Thanksgiving day. They tasted strongly of coconut, even though the descriptions said they were made with cream and yogurt. The spices were literally undetectable. When I say spices, I mean flavor, not heat level. In the US, these dishes are savory and well seasoned even when made with no heat level. This was honestly a shocking experience. I'm giving 3 stars because I do understand this is the norm in this area, reviews at other Indian places near by mentioned extremely sweet dishes as well. The delivery was quick and free, and the restaurant didn't do anything wrong. But in my heart it was honestly a 1.

Good Indian food. Had Lamb Dansak which was very nice. Bit on the expensive side though for an Indian.

The best takeaway in Canterbury for sure. Constantly reliable accuracy in the order and quality 🏆

The food was very good, this restaurant was recommended to me and I wasn't disappointed. I would order again.

By far the best Indian takeaway in Canterbury. Again another amazing meal !!! Ty

Normally ok but tonight awful naan bread came like a biscuit when I rang got me confused with another customer and told me I ordered it well done , sent another one out but arrived 25 minutes later so sent both back , gone downhill since first started using them will not be going again .

Smashing takeaway and probably the best in Canterbury. Everything is brand-spanking fresh and full of spice. Hot does mean hot, they don't muck about like some takeaways. Polite delivery drivers provide a speedy service. Most of the packaging is recyclable, bar the plastic outer bag and the bag for chaptis, perhaps they can improve that shortly. Good portions and decent value for money. Overall you won't be disappointed here.

The best Indian takeaway in Canterbury! We order from them regularly, and they are consistently excellent. They have a great range of vegetarian dishes and everything is delicious. Highly recommend!

10/10 - food was very fresh and tasted delicious, best Indian in Canterbury by far!

Delivery was quick and food taste fresh but it is way too sweet. I had the chicken tikka masala and the sag paneer . Both were sweet and I can't taste the spices. Would love to know what to try next time and I love spices and heat.

Lovely food and lovely staff...food is amazing 👏

Our whole family had a takeaway from Cinnamon this evening, having tried multiple other Indian takeaway's in Canterbury since moving here and we can honestly say it was amazing. The delivery took a little longer than expected but it was worth the wait and miles better than the others we have tried. Will definitely be using them from now on!

Frequently order from cinnamon and have very rarely encountered any issues. Food is delicious.

Arrived ahead of time but that is about it. The prawns were gritty and should have been in the biryani not the rice. The garlic rice was oily with no garlic taste. The biryani was well cooked but had no flavour. The Onion Bhaji was a flat pancake not a ball.There was a pot of something white that we didn't recognise.

Best indian takeaway in Canterbury. Frequently order from cinnamon and have very rarely encountered any issues. Food is delicious and always leaves us satisfied and coming back.

Consistently excellent food, wonderful taste; as well as the menu they even cook authentic dishes the traditional way if you know the correct names for them. We have been twice and will go again. If you are in Canterbury visiting, go here!

Our food was delivered about 20 minutes late - we were telephoned to ask where we were even though we have had deliveries from here many times. Ordered £45 of food, probably only £10 edible - the rice was ok. The chicken in 2 meals was terrible, very tough and therefore inedible. The food was only luke warm so not eaten - who wants to eat barely warm curry? When I phoned to let the restautant know, they said they were busy so that's why our food was late and the chicken was the same in all of the dishes. When I explained that this wasn't the case, they begrudgingly offered 10% off our next order. I won't be taking them up on this. Very disappointed as we've had good food from them in the past. They need to "up their game".

Best Indian takeaway in Canterbury. I have ordered here many times over the last three years and it's spot on every time.

Ordered a take-away during 'lockdown' - I haven't had an Indian/ Bangladeshi take-away in Canterbury for ages because they've all been so awful. I was recommended here by a friend and can comfortably say it's really authentic and full of flavour. Delivered exactly on time time, to the minute, steaming hot and really good portion sizes. The meats were really well marinated and perfectly cooked and really good, rich sauces. The staff were polite and helpful when I ordered and the same when delivering. I will definitely be ordering from here again.

Excellent when you collect but when ordered for delivery still waiting a hour and 40 minutes later and still not here no doubt it’ll be cold by then too so don’t order for delivery you’ll be waiting hours

had 2 meals from there now , been amazing both times , never knew it was there ,a hidden gem in Canterbury .

Lovely food would highly recommend

By far the best Indian in Canterbury. I have tried most of the menu and I have loved every dish. Tonight I tried some hot dishes and unlike other takeaways the heat didn't overpower the flavour. IF YOU HAVENT TRIED CINNAMON, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

The korma was okay but way too sweet. Also, I ordered a cheese naan and they put a plain one in the bag which I discovered when it was too late. I guess such things happen in a rush..

Cinnamon is the best Indian in Canterbury ! They have an extensive menu worth discovering ! And last but not least, their take - away packaging is acceptable . No plastic boxes !! Aluminium boxes the old way ! Makes ordering a takeaway a responsible choice at the same time !

Used this take away time and again, excellent food, consistent quality. Highly recommend plus good value for money! Shame it’s only a take away!

I order the same dish almost every weekend and it always taste authentic and amazing. A bit of a wait for delivery but totally worth it. Their customer service on the phone is very friendly and efficient. 5/5 would definitely recommend to my asian pals looking for some proper Indian food.

By far the best takeaway in Canterbury.

Been here several times, food good, but the way customers are treated has got worse, one time the money was grabbed from hand, I commented on this, another time waited over 10 minutes for my order to be taken, half way through taking my order the guy threw his pen down and walked away !!! Someone else then carried on taking it. Not impressed !!!!!!!!

Great food to go! Well recommended..

Ordered online and in-store, when taking orders I had to repeat myself a few times due to the language barrier. The food arrived pipping ware on occasion, however sometimes had to top them in the oven to warm up. The flavour of the curries and side orders where nice and the spiced rice.

We order from here pretty regularly - once or twice a month. I don't think we've had a bad meal or even a bad dish. My wife and I are very big fans of Indian food - we cook quite a lot of it ourselves and have tried a wide variety of restaurants and this one ranks pretty highly for us. The two highlights are: 1) the quality of the food - they do everything well and have some really interesting dishes you don't see everywhere like chicken/lamb achari (which is a must try BTW). 2) the delivery speed is always very good in our experience - things tend to come very quickly (mostly well before the estimate) Obviously very important in a delivery takeaway since it means the food is fresh and decently hot. It's not too pricey either. Thumbs up to this one.

Disgusting service from the boss hassan today . Went to pay with an old but still in service till 30th june 20 quid note (still legal tender) and they refused to except it saying the banks no longer take them . What a load of rubbish . I even googled the bank of england to prove it but he still said no . Maybe they should get there facts right before refusing payment .

Curry is always our go to take away when we fancy one and we have tried various places around Canterbury. After a couple of disappointing ones from other places that were bland and lacking in flavour, we decided to try Cinnamon on the Just Eat app and we were so impressed that we will not be using anyone else. The curry is delicious with the most awesome flavours. We have used them about 4 or 5 times so far and the order always arrives exactly on time, piping hot every time and with a friendly face delivering it. Highly recommended!

Use this place at least twice a week and loved the fact they changed the flat onion bajee to a more rounded fluffy one. But tonight the bajee was burnt and rock hard and no salad with my Tikka main meal. poor show tonight

Food is excellent and I've always had a really quick delivery time from them. My only complaint, ONLY complaint; when packing the containers into the bag, could you put the curry on top instead of underneath so it doesn't get squashed and get over everything, please? Other than that, really very nice

takeaway was very poor. poppadoms were soft. onion bhaji were flat small pancakes and cold. king prawn puree was a folded chapati with some prawns and sauce on. Chili naan was cold and soggy chicken naga was OK but lukewarm and mildly spiced. king prawn dansak was overly sweet with 3 prawns in it. mushroom rice was microwave portion at best.

always go here for takeout. do good collection and student discounts and always of good quality. stafff are polite too

Gave up after 2 hours waiting for take away order. Terrible service. Unless you have endless patience and or are not hungry this place is best avoided!

Utilizamos para usar Canela todo el tiempo. No sé qué ha pasado pero el tiempo de entrega es más largo y más tiempo. Esta noche ha sido más de dos horas. Llamé para ver que pasaba y no tenía ni siquiera empezó a hacer! Así que, si tienes hambre, o puede ser de hambre en las próximas horas, mejor una pizza.

Terrible customer service, was unproffesional over the phone. and have waited over and hour and a half for the food... it better be nice.

Cambiaron a canterbury hace cuatro años y he usado varias llevar india, a menudo con terrible servicio. no mantener a sus marcos de tiempo o la comida está fría. Esta es la primera vez que he utilizado este indio y no puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente. la comida era fantástica. Caliente y entregado a tiempo. rara vez post comentarios, pero sentía el restaurante merecido como todavía estoy hablando sobre cómo todo era sabroso dos días más tarde. Muy buena relación calidad-precio grandes porciones

decepcionó mi entrega fue a tiempo puede decir que probé mi pollo ajo era increíble lleno de calor y especias muy sabroso. Hice mi fiesta de cumpleaños con su función. El restaurante parece increíble probarlo. También el mejor por sus platos Biryani .

All good and delivered on time for a family feast food was good very large portions even called us when driver had found the road to say he was there
