We have been visiting the Cinnamon Tree for at least 14 years but have to say after tonight never again!! Firstly we were not offered poppadoms We waited an hour for our starters and were told whilst waiting there would be no naan breads as the oven was broken However when the starters eventually arrived we were told we were lucky as these had been cooked before the oven broke (but obviously not served for some time!!) when the main courses arrived no hot plates for them Every dish contained loads of garlic cloves!! The offer for the evening was 4 courses for a set price with the final course bring coffee or ice cream We requested ice creams to be told they no longer did ice creams and hadn’t done for some time (May I suggest that the advertised menus are changed then to reflect this!!) After all these years it will sadly be the last time for us and judging on tonight’s fiasco I expect to see the boards on the windows very soon

We went to this restaurant about 4 years ago and whilst it was Ok it didn’t make us want to rush back. Fast forward to today … we had read rave reviews recently and thought .. why not. Well we were blown away. Staff very polite and very attentive… food was amazing… venue was lovely… price … really really good! We definitely won’t leave it so long next time! Just go… and hopefully you will also have a great time

Start with the negative, it was the first date night in over a year for the wife and I and as we regularly have cinnamon tree as a takeaway but never actually eaten at the restaurant, we decided cinnamon tree was the restaurant of choice for the evening. We are relatively new to the area and was a little surprised to see that the building looked run down and the sign only spelling out cinnamon r on the side. However, stepping inside took the dread away. The decor is minimal but stylish and inviting. Now we arrived when the restaurant had only just opened with a last minute booking, when we arrived there was only 2 people in the entire restaurant so we was astonished that the waiters decided to seat us right next to the pair of girls. Personally if I can see that a couple are coming for a meal I would seat them in a more private area unless there was no option, however there was plenty of option as the restaurant was empty. The next downside was the drinks, the wife had a bacardi and coke and I, a pint of Cobra. The beer was almost ambient temperature and the wife's bacardi tasted slightly off as in the coke was flat and bacardi tasted like it had been sat there a while. Anyway, looking past these issues we felt uneasy as we could hear the girls conversation and felt we could not relax and have our own conversation as they would obviously hear ours. Not a date night feel at all. The food was amazing though, thoroughly enjoyed it, I ate until I was in agony and couldn't fit any more in, I was determined to complete everything even my wife's portion as she felt too uncomfortable to eat having practically been sat on the same table as the only other people in the restaurant. We will return for a date night and ask to be seated in a more private location if the restaurant is quieter, the food is delicious and excellent value for money. We will also continue to get takeaways from this establishment as it is our favourite Indian restaurant in our area by far. Definitely recommend a visit here, but ask for a more private table if you are on date night!

We order a take away from here at least once a fortnight and the food is always delicious. Love the Naga - tasty but doesn't blow your head off. The Hargoza king prawn starter is amazing, they should do it as a main course on the menu. Delivery is always on time if not early. We love it😁

First meal out since last year. Food and service were both excellent. I asked if I could make a slight change to my meal and the chef happily obliged. Flavours were amazing. My eyes were bigger than my belly so I asked for a “ doggy bag” and I enjoyed it all over again for lunch at work the next day. I highly recommend and I will be going to enjoy another lovely meal as again soon. Thank you to the staff for being attentive and very pleasant 😃😃

Went midweek in August and benefited from the government’s eat out to help out scheme. Table booked for 8pm they were rammed and sat down late. No social distancing, no masks worn by staff, tables still close. Cutlery just dumped on table by a staff member. Menus were not disposable paper ones either Had to wait for drinks, lots of people were having to wait for their food, me included. Mine was way too salty and I left it. No recompense from the staff, their reply was you’ve got 50% off thanks to the government what more do you want”? It’s a shame as it was once unbeatable, I don’t intend to set foot inside again, the staff have changed, no Ali who was lovely to talk to.

We visisted on the 5th August, table booked for evening, when we arrived we had a short wait of around 5/10 minutes to be seated which was fine, but when we sat down and was ready to order another couple came in, their food was ordered and had arrived before we even had our food ordered even though we were sat down and ready first, we waited almost an hour and half for our food to come whilst everyone around us were eating something. We was tempted to leave until the food was coming over to us! The food is amazing and always has been when we have ordered, definitely the best curry around, just not impressed with how long it takes for the food to come out!

We are regular customers of the Cinnamon Tree, we have enjoyed good food from there regularly. However the service has been extremely poor the last two times we have ordered from there. The previous time we had waited over 1.5 hours for our food to arrive, and when it did arrive one of the lids had come off the containers and the food had spilled inside the bag... today we are still waiting 2.5 hours after ordering for our food to arrive. It's understandable that there will be delays during these difficult times, but you should not be telling customers their food will arrive in 1 hour if it's going to take more than double that time? If you had been transparent and told us that the restaurant was busy and delivery times are slow, we would have come to collect instead.

We love the Cinnamon Tree and have missed the amazing food and wonderful warm welcome so, so much during our period of enforced isolation. Not being fans of takeaway food we had resisted an order from anywhere until now, but we all need something to lift our spirits in these strange and uncertain times, so on Saturday night we took the plunge! We have never had a CT takeaway before and were a little apprehensive as to whether it would live up to the exceptional standards of the restaurant…. and we were not disappointed! Admittedly we needed to do a little re-heating, but that’s only to be expected, and we can happily report that even in takeaway form our meal was absolutely superb. As ever, each dish was bursting with flavour and full of fresh herbs. Anyone who likes prawns must try the Jhinga Special, and the Tarka Dhal really is the best in the land. It was also brilliant to see the smiling face of Abdul for a few minutes with our delivery and find out how the guys are getting on. Keep up the brilliant work Cinnamon Tree, stay safe and see you again soon :)It seems odd to see some poor reviews posted below. We are genuine connoisseurs of Indian cuisine and only post unbiassed reviews on Tripadvisor. We have consistently found the Cinnamon Tree to be the best Indian restaurant in the entire area by a significant margin and would urge anyone who has never been to give them a try, you really will not be disappointed

We decided to try a take away from here after are regular Indian had closed. We had 3 different curries, first my mothering law found a large hair in the middle of her curry half way through eating her dinner. Then i found another 2 hairs at the bottom after nearly eating my whole curry. Totally put us off, clearly no hair nets were used. The poppadoms tasted old, they were very soft. Will not be ordering again from here.

I've been to this restaurant on many occasions & this was far the worst visit. There was no atmosphere as only a few tables were taken. It was cold with only a small fan heater to heat the area, any heat it gave off didn't reach our table so I ate my meal with my coat on. The meal its self was ok, not amazing just ok. The staff were pleasant but not very attentive. We were left disappointed that no chocolate was offered when settling the bill as this had always been normal practice before. I won't be returning in a hurry.

First ever takeaway food ordered from this restaurant. Booked on Just Eat but estimated time for delivery (one hour and a half) was exceeded by over another hour. I appreciate they were busy (Valentine Night) but when the food arrived it was cold, looked awful and tasted diabolical. It spoilt a family triple birthday gathering. Most ended up in the bin.I had heard in the past that the restaurant was good so I don't know if it has changed hands. I hesitated using this place when I saw the Environmental Health 2 star rating recently. Whatever the problems are we will never use the Cinnamon Tree ever again.

This was our first visit to the Cinnamon Tree. We'd passed a few times and it looks lovely from the outside. Pleased to say inside was really nice too, very modern but warm, inviting decor. Service was good, food was second to none. One of the best I think I have tasted. Tandoori salmon to die for and great Bombay potatoes. Other 3 diners had various curries and everyone was pleased with their meal. Best chutneys we have ever had. Why only a 4 rather than a 5? Poppadoms were just a tad soft and there is no desert menu. We would have spent more if there had been good ice cream although we were all stuffed by that stage. Definitely recommend.

When complained they brought the "complaint book" out and was told next time we come tell them we complained previous. Staff really didn't seem botherd about the complaint and we was told they couldn't do anything else. Overall big disappointment been coming here for over 8 years.

Waited over an hour for starters! Tasted lovely but cold. Assumed an oversight. Waited a further 1 hour 20 mins for mains. Mains cold. Again tasted ok but cold. Didn’t want to wait any longer.

We visited the Cinnamon Tree expecting good food because of the reviews I'd read and a recommendation by a friend. We enjoyed the food, when it was finally served. It took 1hr 15min for us to be served with our starter. Other customers who came after us were served before us??? We finished our meal at approx. 9.15 and were chatting away and my wife said that the waiter had taken my drink, which I hadn't noticed. I told another waiter and he brought it back??? After waiting so long they were apparently trying to get us out the door and the place was empty??? Not one of the waiters was polite and there was never a friendly smile. It ruined what good have been a good night out. So we will not be visiting or recommending the Cinnamon Tree.

The naan appeared to have lost its meat! No service with a smile, when asking for a coffee at the end of the night we had to go up to the counter, then no acknowledgment made from the staff and we were unsure if we were going to get it. Then to end it all the bill was placed on our table(without us asking for it) and the front door open, making us very uncomfortable. Won't be going again!

Love coming here for special occasions as everyone loves a good curry. The foods reasonably priced and the quality is exceptional, the actual restaurant is would recommend Cinnamon Tree for anyone that loves Indian food or is looking for a high quality restaurant.

We came here in December and had a few concerns about the service which I voiced on trip advisor. I am so happy to report that my concerns have been addressed and I was so impressed with the service I received today. We came for my Mums birthday as we love the food you serve you looked after her so well and spoiled her with her present. We had lovely hot tasty food as usual. The service was great tonight and we had a lovely evening. Thank you.

Our first time here, we were invited by friend's & there were 12 of us in the party, this didn't phase the staff at all.The food & drinks were served to our tables with no problems at all & they looked after the children in the party very well.An all round good experience & we will be visiting again.

Have visited this restaurant a few times now and always receive a warm welcome.Food is amazing we have visited as part of a large group and also a smaller family group and the meal has always been perfect. If you are unsure of what to order the waiter will explain how hot or not the food can be prepared.Can't fault it. Looking forward to my next visit. The garlic chicken is really nice.

Friends had recommended this restaurant as the best in the area so we had high hopes. We got there about 7pm on a Friday evening and hadn't booked but it didn't matter as the place was nearly empty. Welcome was luke warm and the restaurant was cold. They sat us next to a radiator which was helpful!! Drinks order came quickly and we chose from the fairly extensive menu. The poppadums, with normal salads and dips, arrived but they were cold and stale. The food arrived after a long wait on a trolley served in fancy dishes but it's all for show. The curries we had were tasty enough but certainly nothing special. The whole experience left us feeling very flat - service very slow and with no enthusiasm and food distinctly average. I'm still struggling to find a decent Indian restaurant in the area but I've been spoiled where I used to live with some really excellent places. If you're around Sutton Coldfield, try the Shaban on Boldmere High Srteet - it's the best (and never quiet whichever night of the week it is!!).

I've been coming to this restaurant for years. Every visit has been welcoming, they're a family away from home for all of us. The food is the best Indian you can get anywhere in Leicester or Leicestershire. The service is always quick even when they're busy. They're all friendly, they make the experience of eating out better than anywhere else around. Thank you for another wonderful night and many more to come!

I have been going to the Cinnamon Tree since it opened and am so sorry to see the deterioration in the place. The food is still of high quality however the service is very slow and chaotic. Our drinks order was mixed up and we didn't get the drinks until we had nearly finished our poppadoms even though they were not that busy. The staff are friendly and courteous but there seems to be no one in charge and all the staff seem to be used for the takeaways. Another issue is the toilets. They were filthy I could not close the door on one cubicle so tried the other this one didn't lock. I saw this place when it first opened and it is disheartening to see it so run down now. I think it needs a good refurb with the staffing situation looking into to bring it back to the way it was. I can not be the only one thinking this as when we went it was the Friday before Christmas and there were only 3 other tables occupied in addition to our own.

My daughters choice of 'where would you like to go tonight?' and we weren't disappointed. Service - attentive but not pushy, food - freshly cooked and very tasty, atmosphere - nice and lively. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a great Indian experience.

Visited here on a Tuesday evening so was empty as to be expected. Food was average at best. Ordered fresh cut chillies on the side but was never served them. Baltic was served in balti dish but surprisingly was not very hot. Would visit again if was hungry and passing but wouldn't go out my way like I did last night.

We ordered takeaway from here for the first time and we were not dissapointed. We ordered via just eat which was super easy and our delivery time was confirmed a few moments later. 30 minutes were added to the estimated time however it was 8.15pm on a Saturday and worth the wait. The food was delicious and the service great. The aubergine bhaji and chicken Saag was excellent. Highly recommend this place.

The restaurant was very busy but the service, the food and the staff were simply the best. If you want a super meal out you won't get better, the staff are really so friendly and efficient even when they are busy. Can't wait till next time and Xmas day!

We've ordered a lot from Cinnamon Tree for takeaway all the time. They provide great food and great service most of the time. However, we've ordered a few times recently and had items missed and waiting a massive amount of time during a weekend. 2 rices were missing last time. When you finally get the correct order, the food is extremely good. Well prepared and amazing taste. You get some really unique flavours from Cinnamon Tree where I haven't had anywhere else. Delivery had been lacking with accuracy even when ordering on Just Eat. Shame but this time CT, you let yourself down slightly.

We have had take out from the Cinnamon Tree for a while now & it has always arrived promptly & the food has been great. I have got to say a huge thank you, after I screwed my order up this evening & our plans were spoiled. I rang & explained my problem & the manager was exceptionally helpful. He sorted everything out so that our evening was back on track. If the wife is happy.... Job done! :-) Thank you Cinnamon Tree!

Fabulous Food, friendly staff. Always welcoming with a smile. We love it here so much that 14 of us have booked for Christmas this year. I couldn't think of a nicer place to spend Christmas day. We visit every week, either take away or eat in.

The staff are great, greeting you as soon as you enter. very attentive and make the kids feel like valued customers.A good diverse menu, which is served hot and fresh, no evidence of heat lamps.The carpark always has just enough room, although the spaces are not very wide.Once inside the decor is up to date, clean and fresh.A doggy bag might be necessary and the staff are willing to oblige.and always a thank you from them as you leave.A great meal out every time.

They do a nice curry here and the staff are lovely, they helped me with organising a surprise birthday treat and let me drop off balloons and confetti beforehand on the day before. Really nice atmosphere! You do have to be careful on your first visit though as it can be easily missed if you are driving, depends what direction you approach it from. But it has a decent sized carpark.

It was super busy they do a £10 a head meal deal on Mondays .However a prawn starter was delivered instead of chicken to three of us ,I'm allergic to seafood and fortunately received mine last . Drinks were asked for three times in the end we went to the bar and filled a jug of water up .One main was served cold and one was so greasy it was inedible . We've always thought this was a top end Indian restaurant but it was a shambles really dreadful we won't go back

ordered a takeaway last weekend the korma i ordered was average very flavoursome but incredibly greasy and my friends tikka masala was awful, on the other hand the rice and sides were lovely i think they need to look at the main dishes and find a sollution behind the mass amount of high fat theyre serving

Food took over an hour and a half to arrive and was leaking through the bag when it did turn up. The mains were okay, starter was tasteless, poppadoms soft, and chips were soggy. We won't be using them again.

Ordered a extensive range of dishes for the family for delivery, although it wasn't fast the food was excellent, house special biryani was great, lamb chops tasty and the 3 different naans were excellent. I had never had takeaway before but would definitely go again . Not your average Indian food well above standard.

Heard good reviews about this place. Thought we would give it a try. Food portions good , food was OK nothing to rave about. Nan was very nice. Poppadoms were poor "Not fresh" service was hit and miss. So all in all we were disappointed and won't be returning.
