Cinnamon Tree, Mortimer in West Berkshire

Great find. First rate service. Ample parking behind the restaurant. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Booked online with quick email confirmation. Relaxing pace; allowed to take time and enjoy the delicious food. No alcohol on the menu (BYO) and good selection of soft drinks.

Sunday lunch. Good selection for buffet style.

Authentic Indian cuisine served in this restaurant. Done in and enjoyed a lot here.

Food was great, place clean and tidy, staff helpful and pleasant would recommend and we will be going back.

Good curry and good dining experience

Great service and food . Very depressing curb appeal ! Really need to do some gardening add some flowers .

Don’t be put off by the outside!! The food is good and worth going to.

Well priced for a buffet but food was just ok, not very hot aswell

Food is tasty and value for money

The restaurant were amazing for my mothers 85th Birthday , nothing was too much trouble and we all had a lovely time would throughly recommend this restaurant !

I was in a party of approximately 30+ people who had lunch here today. The food was superb with so much variety. Excellent service and a warm welcome from the staff. I would highly recommend. Don’t forget to bring a bottle if you want something alcoholic to drink, although this did not hinder our enjoyment. Merry Christmas 🎄🥂

Enjoyed the Sunday buffet. All the dishes were hot and a good amount of choice. They don't have a drink licence but are happy for you to bring your own. Staff are very friendly but not over bearing. Will definitely be going back.

Excellent meal tonight, delicious food & wonderful service. A real credit to Mortimer, we need to go more often!! Don’t forget to bring your own booze 😜

So glad I found this place. The service was impeccable and the food was incredible. I'll certainly be back again.

Excellent food, gentile service, good value We discovered the Cinnamon Tree by chance when passing through, and were very pleasantly surprised as soon as we stepped through the front door. Remote and unpretentious from the outside, we were given a royal welcome and service that could not be improved, by cultured and friendly staff. Something of connoisseurs of Indian cuisine we were very impressed with the fresh, tasty dishes we ordered. The spicing and combination of ingredients were not run-of-the-mill but masterful. We feel like visiting this part of the country again if only to repeat the experience.

Sehr leckeres Essen, super freundliches Personal! Wir haben es uns schmecken lassen. Absolut top!

It was very quiet when we were there. It was 8pm ish on a Wednesday night. So plenty of tables. Staff are very friendly, polite and helpful. The food was nice. We ordered a korma and rice with naan to share between two and had more than enough to eat. We have eaten here several times in the past and have also had takeout service. We have always had a good meal and enjoyed our time here.

As a long term customer of the Cinnamon Tree, I can't recommend it enough. It simply ticks all the boxes. I've tried many other Indian restaurants and takeaways over the years, in a misguided hope of finding one that beats Cinnamon Tree but it's a fools' errand, there are none. Food is always incredible and if you want a dish tweaked to your liking, they will always accommodate. Staff are just brilliant, always super friendly with great service and they go out of their way to make kids feel welcome. Ample ree parking around the back of the building so always easy to find a spot. My one tiny criticism is that they do not sell alcohol, you need to take your own. They previously sold alcohol, pre-pandemic but never brought it back and I don't know why. But that's a minor niggle and doesn't really detract from what is otherwise a fantastic dining experience, end to end.

Buffet Sunday meal - excellent quality, great price, great staff.

The Cinnamon Tree used to be the go-to local place - great food etc. We haven't been for a number of years since their last refurb when we didn't have a good experience (not romantic - no curtains, bright lights, part decorated.)Roll on a few years and a treat to go out. On my booking I'd requested to be sat away from the speaker; we were placed directly under it. No bother, it was quiet when we arrived and the music was quiet. The service was quite slow but ok. The food wasn't super hot, rather more room temperature and actually, and sadly, didn't have much flavour though on a plus side it wasn't laden with salt. I did notice the tables put together next to us but thought it would be ok. However, when the party of 16 arrived and got into the evening they were as raucous as raucous could be. We could not hear each other or speak over the noise. It was a very very disappointing evening. Do note that they do not sell alcohol.

Absolutely delicious food and service! Never had a bad meal there, it's all delicious!!!!

THE best Indian restaurant! Food is always top quality, and staff are so friendly and accommodating. There’s nowhere else my mum and I would go to get a curry! Definitely recommended if you are in the area (or even if you’re not- it’s worth travelling to).

Came for Valentine’s Day and the food was really good and well priced. The staff working were very chatty and nice

Excellent food and very attentive staff. I had a chicken dansak with 2 garlic naans. Both were amazing...probably the best dansak I've had. Naans are medium in size, one would have been enough if I'd also had rice.

Great Sunday buffet and BYO beer and wine. It’s not the Ritz, but it was excellent for what it is.

Friendly staff. Delicious food.

Very disappointing meal. Chicken in balti not tender a bit chewy, lamb in shakora chewy. Garlic naan not garlicky. Overall disappointing and charged service charge which I prefer to choose my own tip if the meal and service deserves. Unfortunately won’t visit again

Reliable good quality food. Friendly staff.

Had both dine in and take out and the food has been amazing! Service is great and good quality is excellent. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Good service, pleasant food. Coke and Lemonade a trifle flat. Otherwise enjoyed the experience.

Always excellent and the best Indian for miles. Fabulous food, friendly staff and excellent service. Highly recommend.

Really lovely food and staff were so helpful. 😊

We went for the Sunday buffet. Amazing food - hot and very tasty. Service was outstanding- friendly and polite. We will definitely return. Thank you.

Excellent spicy food Bangladeshi style. Had the Naga masala and Sag Aloo with pilau rice. Ordered mango lassi and coke for drink. Generous portions for two for only 30 pounds. Great taste! Will be back again when in the area.

Had the Sunday buffet - excellent range of dishes. Great service too. We go often and will go back in the future. Very popular on Sundays.

Enjoyed the food at the Sunday buffet, but service was a little bit slow and no alcohol served so its take your own. As soft drinks are an extortionate price.

Went for husbands birthday. Was a lovely meal very flavoursome, staff were really friendly and efficient. Food was of an excellent value and everything was nice with exception of the samosas but because there were so many other options at the all you can eat this was not an issue as had other items. Brilliant will definitely come back.

Excellent curry, great attentive service and decent price too. The spice level is just a step up from what I would expect which was a pleasant surprise.

Could you àdd photos if so wouldn't be good as poor also said they would support us next order never happened avoid

We had a really disappointing take away from The Cinammon Tree last night. I'm hoping this was because they were busy rather than standards slipping. Chicken Tikka Bhuna was mediocre; watery sauce, sour but not in a nice way and the meat was very bland and didn't have that chargrilled texture or taste. Naan bread was very doughy.

Fantastic food , very clean and service was excellent

Nice food. Place is a little tired but the food is great.

Wonderful food and so very helpful. 40 people loved the takeaway. Really pleased to have found you . You made our celebrations very special. Thank you l.

No waiting for table, clean white table cloth and cutlery. Food presented well and very enjoyable. I will return again.

Beautifully laid Sunday buffet. Good Indian food, excellent service and quality!

Had buffet good value but mediocre food, no hot dishes, a bit boring selection.

Amazing food, especially the Naans which are outstanding

Best Indian I've had in ages. Highly recommend the ghust shahjanee

Really great food! Even though we have to go that little bit further to eat there we have really enjoyed every meal we have ordered.

The food is excellent....worth a 20 minute drive. True, service can sometimes be slow, but have a drink and enjoy...

Excellent service and lovely food. Will certainly be returning.

Very slow service, had to ask for everything at least twice. Woman's toilet was nasty, looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages! But the food was tasty.

Excellent curry, reasonable prices, I'll be back

I know it is under pressure because of covid, but service was not good. Not as good as when we visited before.

Great food, very friendly staff. Highly recommended. Best in the area I think.

Wonderful and quality food. Really authentic and brilliant option on Sunday for buffet. Always friendly and lovely staff. Had only ever one small query about a main and it was resolved and handled so professionally and promptly.

Really truly great food and nice environment to eat

Good food. Good service. Chicken tikka chilli - yum

Good Indian. Came with a large work group. About 25 of us. Pretty sure nothing was missed from the order which is often a struggle at other places so too point for that. Food was good also and from what I remember the prices were pretty reasonable.

Lovely food, a step above your standard indian

Really rate this fantastic Indian restaurant. Great food and service

Best Indian we have ever been too. Food is always excellent. Meat always tender and from good cut. Staff always happy to help and food comes in good time and always of very high standard. Can not fault this place. Sometimes really busy so book in advance to ensure a table

Good service nice food parking available

Good service and good food was a big group gathering and they facilitated very well 👏

Nice food relatively priced and parking

Warm, good food, friendly staff and lovely warm towels to refresh.

The best Indian restaurant in the area

Great food, extremely warm welcome. Have spent 7 years researching indian cuisine and although my family will say they prefer my food then any restaurant we all thoroughly enjoyed this especially myself as I didn't have to make it! My only gripe and it is a picky one is the front door system is poor. Let's in to much cold air in the winter when your comfortable seated. If you go make sure you sit well away from the front door. As said it is a picky comment but hey a review is a review and it didn't detract from the food. The meat has a fabulous smokey effect I have not tasted anywhere else which was sublime. Enjoy your dinner just stay away from the door😉

Food was excellent, but the service was a little slow (possibly because it was very busy).

You can't beat a Sunday .. as much as you can eat

Our favourite curry house. Friendly service, excellent food. You've gotta try the chicken kashmire!

A mediocre experience. The dishes, which all looked alike, were served lukewarm , bland and tasteless, a mix of chopped up veg where you couldn't make out what you were eating. The innamon Tree was a disappointment. Avoid.

Great food. Service managed to get one prefer wrong though.

Always first class service and food, our favourite

Really good food staff very nice

Really good food, though it is very popular so will likely be busy, this doesn’t slow down their team as they are well organised and the food is tasty

Great food. Friendly staff who went out of their way to accommodate us.

Best curry around and spot on service. Portions above the standard.

Lovely curry. Very accommodating for my colleagues a couple of nights ago.

Lovely food, service and atmosphere. I will be returning.

This place seems to have people who love it, I'm afraid for me it has nothing to set it apart. I had a nice curry with friends.

Very tasty food, friendly staff

Excellent food and Service. Highly recommended

Fantastic staff. Superb food. Good price. Good drinks. Highly recommended

Best Curry house I've ever been to

What amazing customer service. Shaquil (hope I spelt it right 🙏) is an excellent operator. This service was amazing. You know when you are in a great Indian restaurant / takeaway when they do not deliver. It's because they want amazing customer service for clients coming to enjoy the experience. Thank you. Mark

Was told 45 minutes for a takeaway...arrived to collect and still had to wait a further 20 minutes on arrival to collect...no apology...the manager was rude when our meal finally was ready....there were people walking out having waited so long to be served in the restaurant Totally under staffed Appaling service... Very dissapointed in the lack of putting the customer first!!!

Good value if not exciting buffet.

Decent Sunday buffet, decently priced.

Excellent. Food. Service. Looked after very well . We enjoy all of time spent there.

Good comfortable restaurant, friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere. I've had better in terms of the food/flavours, but not in the area. So for a small local restaurant, it ticks the boxes.

Brilliant place. Great food, good process, fabulous service

Have been eating here for years. Management & Staff very friendly & welcoming. Love the Indian menu. Best anywhere. Actually paying a visit tonight. Can’t wait. Get the Schnapps ready . See you all later , The Oakley’s x

The Cinnamon Tree, amazing food at any time! Nothing else to say, the best we have tasted so far!

Very pleasant. Good tasty food selection and hot even though a buffet.

Really good food nice place good service been a few times

Well only stayed for starters Felt like food was bland and mixed grill was so small and tasteless. You get more for your money in London.

Great food...great service.....great price!!

Decent set up and very good food fora buffet, small selection but all high quality

Best Restaurant in the area. Will keep going back time after time.
