Cinnamon Restaurant Aberdeen
Situated at the top of Union Street, Cinnamon Restaurant Aberdeen is a relaxing place to eat. The subdued lighting gives the ambiance
a romantic and intimate feel. The mix of Indian and Bangladeshi food has been given a modern Western twist making
this a unique eating experience you'll want to keep coming back to, especially as the waiters are all very friendly
and always give the warmest of welcomes.
Nouvelle Indian Cuisine
Do allow an extra 10 - 20 minutes than normal when visiting a restaurant - the Cinnamon Restaurant has an extensive
menu to choose from and all the food is freshly made. A worthwhile wait you'll agree once you've dined here, the food
is exquisite and has to be the best Indian food we have tasted in Aberdeen. The extra wait soon passes because you
get complimentary poppadums and relishes. Each poppadum is crispy and light and the relishes, such as cucumber dip and mango
chutney are all home-made.
Cinnamon Restaurant Menu
Portions are generous and many meals come with rice. The Shomi Special is highly recommended. It is named after the sister
of owner and head chef Khalis Miah. It is a lightly spiced dish containing a range of tenderly cooked meats such as chicken, lamb and beef and seafood
such as prawns. Served on a bed of pilau rice with refreshing raw vegetables, such as juicy cucumber and tomatoes
around the edge and topped with fried onions and peppers. Presentation is visually stunning and thoughtful - even the tomatoes
are chopped into love heart shapes.
Breads such as nan and chapatti are lovely and fresh and are home baked on the premises. Most of the special meals
come with rice which is fluffy and non sticky.
The menu changes monthly but favourite starter dishes include salmon kebab which has been marinated in yoghurt and sesame
oil and then charcoaled, tiger prawns roasted in tandoor and then finished with ginger and cinnamon. There are
also traditional Indian starters such as samosas with a choice of fillings, a range of pakoras and onion bhajias.
Main meals include a humorously named chefs experiments section which have dishes such as burnt green curry which is chicken
tossed in burnt spinach and then mixed with spices and herbs and also Mango Murgh which are tender cutlets of chicken
served in a thick mango curry cooked to Bangalore style. Traditional Indian dishes such as pasanda dishes and balti meals
are also available from the menu.
A range of side dishes include yellow lentils with okra, saag makhani (spinach cooked with baby corn and cherry
tomatoes) and bharwan baign (baby aubergines with fresh coriander and mustard seeds).
Prices are very reasonable and some delicious mint chocolates are given to finish off a finely cooked and served meal.
If choosing from their special group or couples' meals you will need to book at least 24 hours ahead. If you are eating
in the evening it is best to make a reservation. Lunch time visits are generally less busy, though table booking is
still recommended.
There is an extensive takeaway menu which includes set menus.
