Cinnamon Tree in Cardiff

Lovely staff, lovely grubbage for my tummage!

Think there was a heating issue as the restaurant was cold. It would have been helpful if the menu made it clear what options were vegan. Food was however delicious.

Very tasty food! As a vegetarian I went for the buffet, couldn't eat everything in the buffet so they lovely staff made me a dish of my choice on the house. Lovely food made from scratch and with love and care! New favourite place!

Our first time at the new location and it most certainly won’t be our last! The best chicken tikka I’ve ever tasted! The food was outstanding and how friendly the family team are! We will be back very soon

I wouldn't go to any other Indian. Best food and service about. My wife loves the Goan king prawn. The new venue is also very nice.

All very good however we received a sag aloo instead of a sag paneer

We ordered a takeaway online and received a good discount. We collected our food which was delicious as always 😁 would definitely recommend.

The best! We have loved the cinnamon tree for years and this was our first curry from their new location in Trallwn. Happy to confirm it's as good as its always been. Hands down the best vegetarian curry, the paneer is the tastiest we have had and the portions are so generous! Happy new home guys. So glad we still have you in Ponty x

Just had food u new 1 Central hotel trallwn lovely keep it up guys.

Amazing food from here staff are very friendly and helpful. We’re exited to try their new trallwng venue. We’ve only ever had 1 “problem” which was a bit of miss communication which was resolved very quickly and kindly. Highly recommend

Was confirming an order with a waiter, who then started an argument with me due to my body language. The least I hope for is a civil discussion. Awful customer service, I ended up walking out in sheer disbelief. Very, very disappointing.

Fantastic Food will definitely order again! Thank you

Well served, friendly staff 👏, well served, had buffet meal their, was a delicious meal we had, owner lady and serving staff is very talkative, no wonder why they had long time their

Fantastic food is always excellent. Staff friendly and polite. A regular place that I would reccomend.

Delivery was perfectly on time but sadly food was not good! My curry was extremely watery with very little flavour, boyfriends wasn’t watery but flavour was odd, Naan’s were flat and tough and they forgot our drink we ordered. Sadly I wouldn’t recommend.

Disgusting soft poppadoms that were definitely not fresh. Shame really because the rest of the meal was up to the Cinnamon Tree's usual high standards and that spoiled it. It's put us off ordering here for a while.

Always a smile 😄 and timely service so you enjoy your food. My food was tasty and good eating temp.

Rice was only tepid when delivered. Dhansak a little warmer. All in the oven now to heat up.

Sad to see this place so empty. There was a time when you had to book in advance. I have visited with friends several time in the last few years but not left a review. We always have a lovely meal Visited last night with a friend and there were only 4 other tables occupied. We are both vegetarian and there is a lot of choice. Food is good and good prices

Dreadful service, some other customers Walking out due to long waiting times for their food. Buffet curries not topped up so only sauce left for your meal.

Food is delicious, delivery was quick. Highly recommended!

Great food, great service and great decor- so far the best Indian style buffet I've been to (on Sundays only), as well as been in the week to order from the menu- each time food was absolutely amazing!

First time trying this place and really disappointed - felt rushed and food was really greasy in some dishes. Came for a family birthday and the value for money just didn’t reflect the quality of the foods we were served. Honestly had better at my local high street Indian takeaway, so won’t be going back again. £200+ for a party of 6 to have mains and shared starters is ridiculous.

A great choice of food. Nicely presented and helpful attentive staff. I've been waiting to go for a while and we all enjoyed ourselves.

Lovely food and the staff were really friendly we all really enjoyed went to celebrate our ruby anniversary.would go back again

A typical side-of-the-road restaurant - lacking in charm but made up for it with yummy dishes. Service was good, prices were reasonable, would return.

Been here a few times both for eat in and takeaway, if you book takeaway online there is a 20% discount. Sunday buffet is good value and a wide choice.

So I thought I’d give it another chance but I must say it was awful again, I had to tip the grease out of the madras before eating it and then it was so bland, chips were tasteless and undercooked, Nan and popadoms were good, the mrs had a chicken tikka masala and said the chicken was as tough, sorry you used to be a good Indian now it’s overpriced and terrible

Was looking forward to my order tonight. King prawn korma, keema naan, pilau rice, and chips. What huge disappointment it was. Don't get me wrong, I like a big prawn, but these were huge and only 5 in the whole curry. They were overcooked and had the texture of rubber. The naan was cold and chewy. The rice was the only thing that I ate. From the reviews, this might have been a one-off but won't be ordering from here again just in case.

Slow service, poor quality, bland and tasteless, worst Indian food I have ever had. Dry meat and two totally different curries has zero flavour to them. I think from the way they reacted to us wanted to order off the menu this is really just a buffet restaurant. We waited over an hour for 2 curries and 2 rice. The restaurant was about 50% full with most of those have a self service buffet We won’t be returning. Expensive for such a poor meal.

Went last Friday evening with family haven't been for awhile but the food was just as good as before choice of buffet or alacart we choose the alacart which was delicious but did look at buffet which looked really good will definitely be going back and will try buffet can't say anything but 5 star for food and service really friendly and helpful .

I ordered a mixed grill starter consisting of chicken tikka, lamb and a lamb shish. The amount I received for £7.25 was disgusting. I had 2 cubes of chicken, 2 cubes of lamb and not even a half of the shish. Terrible price for what you get.

Absolutely dreadful service. We were not allowed to order our meal at the same time as our drinks. We were given our poppadoms before ordering, we waited for a long time to order, the restaurant was not busy. The waitress was chewing gum when she finally came to take our order. We then waited ages for our dinner and when it arrived the Chicken Pasanda was Lamb. We called the waitress over to say we had the wrong food, she then asked, did we not like lamb. I said not really and we ordered the Chicken. She came back with what was slices of Tandoori Chicken in what I can only describe as soup. It was definitely not Pasanda sauce, it had a runny consistency as well as being a completely different colour to the original sauce. Bitterly disappointed after reading the reviews. I would recommend not eating here and personally I will never return. We are now having issues with the manager.

Waited nearly 2 hours for food to arrive just for it to be undercooked , most food wasn’t very nice and the service was ok but nothing special , quite expensive to for what you get £15 for a small bowl of curry with about 5 pieces of chicken in

Food was cold had to warm up in the microwave

Fantastic food which tasted wonderful and was piping hot.

First time visiting and went for the buffet. Great value for money and the food was delicious. Will definitely try the takeaway menu soon.

Absolutely amazing food. We had the buffet earlier in the month and later in the month had off the main menu. Both were incredible. Highly recommended

Lovely food, good service. Can be a bit noisy! 🙂

Just come back from the cinnamon tree can't complain. Absolute lovely Food, lovely, and hot no complaints from us

Food tasted lovely but, rang the restaurant an hour after food was meant to be delivered and they just said very busy. Half the food come hot and the other barely warm.

Generous portion size, delicious and delivered on time. Definitely ordering again.

We went on a Sunday evening and had the buffet which was very good 👍

Came in with £21 for an adult buffet and left stuffed and satisfied. I enjoyed every selection of dishes along with fresh chewy naan and deliciously crispy sides. Table service was excellent and the staff are polite and swift to work, made the experience so much better. I would recommend the chickpea curry, it's mildly spicy with perfectly cooked chickpeas that melt in your mouth. If you're getting dessert, you should order the mango brulee- fresh and creamy mango ice cream topped with a layer of crispy caramilised sugar. Definitely worth the price in my opinion. Bring some friends and family to share the joy 😊.

The food was delicious and in good quantity will definitely be coming back for more.

As ever amazing food. Amazing staff and service. Love it here.

Very nice food, great service, all round good evening, would definitely recommend this place to anyone 🙂

Not happy with curry sauce as I split , was very watery , will not order again , very disappointed

First time visiting, great buffet option - plenty of choice including starters and breads. Really was delicious food and fantastic service, all the staff were very welcoming and attentive. Slightly cold in there, folks were wearing coats but the restaurant, the food and the staff was top notch and would return.

Food was late an cold, there was no meat in the keema nan bread either. The drinks we ordered were not with the food either, I called them and they sent them over an hour later and were the wrong drinks!

This used to be our favourite restaurant. We were well known to the previous management and my students often served us. Now the servers barely if at all crack a smile and the manageress barks at us about buying drinks. We had no plates for the appetiser, which was an oversight that no-one serving wanted to address. On top of all that, it was twice as expensive as a takeaway at another local without the food being any better.

Very poor booked for a birthday celebration, 5 of us vegetarian, was told when ordering there was no vegetables so ordered curries with just potatoes, food took 70 minutes to arrive and was cold , reason for food being cold was naan bread took so long to cook ? Servers quite ignorant ended up paying for drinks and going to nandos , very poor wouldn't recommend

Absolutely delicious!! Definitely order again

Absolutely gutted Have been frequent visitors to this place since 2015 and were

Great place, with delicious food and friendly staff

Great takeaway! We’ll hopefully see you in person too v soon! Great fresh food and they get the spices just right x

Nice food and excellent service

Absolutely disgraceful I travelled an hour for a reservation I had I got to the restaurant 10 minutes early I was on completely on time and the restaurant was closed not a light on or a person there didn’t even think to contact us about the booking absolutely awful do not reccomend no communication at all

Very enjoyable. Good variety of curry's and starters. Good value for the money for the Sunday buffet.

It was OK but forty pounds 2 buffets n 2 cokes for the choice was over priced.

An hour late and Not able to contact restaurant to check on order and food was mostly inedible due to being cold and dry

Food was fine , but service abysmal- 45 mins before they reluctantly took our order / table next to us took 90 mins for food to arrive. It’s a shame this place was once great now average at best

Order though just eat. 1 hour late and not able to contact restaurant, just leave a message. Food was cold and in edible

Last take away here was dreadful and they got the order wrong. Such a shame as this used to be a first class restaraunt we'd been to many times. Not any more.

Fantastic consistent quality as always

Fantastic food and the staff are very friendly

Had a meal for 6 people booked for 7pm on a tues evening. Waited nearly 45 mins for 6 meals to arrive. No starters. Restaurant was almost empty les than 8 others dining. Young waitress was lovely, older waitress quite abrupt and not friendly. Plain naans were pale and greasy. Not nice at all. King prawns shasleick wasn't nice pretty burnt and more shell than prawn. Wouldn't recommend and won't be returning. It was lovely years ago. One positive, parking wasn't a problem.

Ordered a chicken korma to be delivered. Had a previous delivery a few weeks ago which was lovely, however, tonight’s meal was absolutely disgusting the sauce was like water and tasteless, the chicken was tough and the onion Bhagees were tasteless. Spoke to the restaurant would only refund me for the chicken korma (half the meal but not for the full meal even though we were not able to eat the chips and rice on its own. Very poor customer service. Will not be ordering again.

We've been to The Cinnamon Tree a couple of times now, and although the food is good it's unlikely we'll be returning. Unfortunately it is very expensive for the portion size, and combined with the slow service we left feeling a little underwhelmed. We waited for a while for our order to be taken with staff walking past us multiple times, and when we caught the waitress's attention and asked if we could order we were told to wait as someone who arrived before us should order first. We had one of the mixed starters and for £13 we only received 8 pieces, with each piece being very small. My curry was flavourful, but only had small pieces of low quality chicken. It was served in a plain bowl with no extra garnish and looked distinctly disappointing for the £13.95 price, especially when compared to the other curry which came in a nice copper bowl with a lot more chicken. The size of the sides were also very small, and we would have expected more rice for the £4.25 pricetag. We were also charged £3.50 for a pint of orange squash. Our naan bread was also forgotten to begin with and we were assured it was coming but after 10 minutes we had to chase it up. It was very good when we received it, but by that time we had eaten most of the curries, even when pausing to wait for 5 minutes. Overall the service was very slow and although the food was tasty the presentation and portion size did not make it worth price which was just shy of £60. Overall you can get better food and more attentive dining experience elsewhere.

We visited the restaurant on a Sunday the service we received was second to none. The staff were polite and attentive throughout our visit and nothing was too much trouble when we asked questions. We had an array of food during our visit all of which was flavoursome and beautifully presented. The buffet was also on during our visit but we chose to order from the main menu, there wasn't a wait of any sort when ordering and the timing between the starters and mains arriving was perfect. In fact we were asked if we were ready for our mains which was a nice touch. Overall it was one of the best meals we have had in a while, it's a lovely family run restaurant with food that packs a punch. If you like spice and good food then you won't be disappointed, I cannot wait until our next visit.

Food was nice but the delivery time was too early.

Poor quality ingredients ie chicken looked like it was cooked from frozen. Samosas bhajis chicken pakoras overly greasy. Only good thing was the poppadoms.

The wait time is disappointing enough but then for the curry not to be up to usual standards was extremely frustrating. A few bits of chicken in mainly watery sauce. Not sure what's happened to the cinnamon tree but it's a real shame.

Good food and service, was empty which may have impacted on atmosphere but would definitely return!

Food was hot, delicious. Huge naan! Great quality even though a tad more expensive. Delivered by a very friendly young woman who was polite and professional. Must be some teething problems as Cinnamon Tree have only recently starting delivering as I can't understand why they aren't 5 star after my delivery!

Poor service and a long wait (20 minutes past the collection time) My Madras wasn't bad but the Pasanda was really disappointing (worst we've had)

Left with a stomach ache & it was too greasy

Had lovely food and deliveries from here but unfortunately tonight was different to our other orders . A very young girl delivered at our door and unsure of where she was and what she was doing no idea of the area and late Felt awful for her. Food was amazing and we order regularly few from here and is always lovely I rung resturant and told them our concerns

Rang up and ordered a takeaway it was ready exactly the time they said and more importantly all the food was really tasty and very high quality

My family and I visited The Cinnamon Tree for a late Sunday lunch, as it was the only Indian buffet open in the area at the time (Our usual was closed that day). We were not disappointed: service staff were very friendly and amenable, and the food was very good quality- my personal favourite is the Chicken Tikka Masala, which, alongside everything else available, was delicious. We plan on going again very soon for another Sunday all-you-can-eat, once we stop feeling full from our last visit!

When ordering our food at 6:25, I didn’t expect to have to wait until 8:10 for it to arrive! However, cinnamon tree food is good!

Expensive, but the quality is outstanding

The starters are extremely small for the prices, £7.50 for 4 chunks of meat is crazy! The curries themselves were quite nice, although lacked flavour on the milder ones. An honest rating of the food here is 2 stars, I’d not order from them again as the portion sizes were very small compared to other curry houses I’ve had take away from before

Over an hour and half late and was clearly forgotten about since food was hot

Have ordered from the cinnamon tree many times and no issues until today. Food was 45 minutes late and an item of food was missing. Tried calling the restaurant but went straight to answer phone. Left a message but no call back. Poor customer service and quite disappointing as we’ve dined in and had takeaways from here many times.

Wonderful service, atmosphere and food. And well priced. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I didn’t mind my order being later than I expected. However I didn’t think the food was up to it’s usual quality and the portions were smaller than usual.

Their curry is really something else - great vegan selection too.

The keema naan was a soggy mess I usually order from Bombay blue but thought I'd give you a try their naan is not folded and crispy and full of meat you also get free popadom and mint sauce and they only got 3star rating and they do real chips sorry to say won't be ordering again

Food was not good rice was stuck together it was bland and the meat wasn’t tikka it was plain meat cut up and put in the biriyanis the keema nans where also very bland wont be ordering from here again! Also meat in biriyani was cold

Amazing meal tonight the Beef dish was amazing, the Chicken Tikka Biryani Delicious and the meal was piping hot, oh and P.S Just Eat delivery guys were amazingly polite and happy.

Restaurant quality food. Very pleased. Naan bread is best I’ve ever tasted!

Lovely meal very tasty, friendly relaxed staff, really enjoyed the experience

The food was delicious. Will definitely order from the cinnamon tree again. Great food.

Food was excellent. Service efficient, I was there to enjoy a meal, not soak up the atmosphere, so was quite happy to have a quiet corner in which to rel6.

Good food lots of it Good sized portions for the hungry people

Great place to visit , staff good , food piping hot , strange location (just off a garage forecourt) but great

Excellent food with very good service at a reasonable price.

The food was very tasty and good portions.

Food was average and cold. Delivery was about an hour late for the second time in a row. Won't bother again
