    We loved our meal at Cinnamon Bazaar, the team were really welcoming from the start. Services was really great, everyone we interacted with seemed to really care about making sure we had a great experience. We ordered two small plates to start and then 2 mains and 2 sides to start. The samosas and aloo chaat were fabulous and we had the Indo-Madagascan curry and Shepherd's pie as mains with a side of dahl and peshwari naan. Best meal I've had in a while! Loved it all and can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

    It a lovely restaurant with good ambience and fantastic staff. The only reason I have given the food a 3 is because the tandoor paneer dish I ordered was slightly chewy and lacked in the tandoori flavour. I also ordered few other dishes such as Bhartha, Avocado balls, Chicken curry and Sheesh lamb which were all very good.

    We visited as a family of four. The place is nicely decorated & well located. Ambiance is awesome, clean full of traditional Rajasthanni artifacts! Also, since it is next to Tideway Walk, it gives a vibrant view. Comes to food, in starter we ordered, Chilli Paneer, which was a little spicy 🔥 but good; Samosa Chat, which was Indian authentic and delicious; Nonveg platter, the taste was good but the quantity was comperatively less. Kids rating- "I would give it a five star ⭐ rating". Main course, we ordered Kadhai Paneer & various naan which kids like; a Maharaja Thali to taste the Rajasthaani authentic, which was a little disappointing, the non-veg gravy was certainly not great however we likes Daal-Bati-Churma, Kadhi, Gatte Ki Sabji, and obviously Gulab Jamun! Suddenly, you turned our heads around by celebrating our anniversary by giving us a small cake 🎂. Kids rating- The overall review would be a Four & Half star ✨ .
