Cinnamon Tree - Cardiff

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

New buffet £19.95 head. Despite some negative reviews it was packed ! Nice buffet that covered all the basics- korma/bhuna/ masala/jalfriez.. no beef. Rice/ poppadoms/ naan/ salad/ samosa/ bajhees/ lentil Dahl/ amazing garlic mushrooms. Plenty to eat . People were back and fore all night but the ladies worked very hard ensuring all dishes were replenished straight away and keeping a constant eye . Friendly staff. Defo recommend .

Appalling take away meal that was inedible. We have visited this restaurant on many occasions but something has changed and will definitely not be going back.

This was our first visit to this Cinammon Tree Restaurant. We've been to the excellent one in Canton a number of times. What attracted us today was the Sunday Buffet which started at 2.30pm. We arrived a little early but the staff were very welcoming. The Buffet is well set up. You can help yourself to Popodums and dips. Next you can take your pick from the starters. I counted 5 or 6 starters which included onion bhajis, vegetable samosa, tarka dhal, garlic mushrooms and 2 chicken dishes. For mains there were 5 choices including chicken and lamb dishes and there was also a vegetarian dish. To go with the mains there was pilau rice, boiled rice and 2 different naans. The Buffet seemed quite popular when we were there. At £19.95 it's not cheap but it is good value as you can help yourself.

The Goan veg curry with fresh veg I was promised had pre-frozen, re- cooked veg and chickpeas I don't like. It wasn't described in the menu as a chickpea curry, which I wouldn't have ordered. The cauliflower was going brown. The sauce was congealed. My chapati was hard. I'm grateful that restaurant staff agreed not to charge us for these. The rest of the meal was OK. My husband said the lamb in his biryani was good. Our greeter/waiter was helpful and responsive, and seemed sincerely apologetic. Disappointing otherwise.
