Restaurant Name: The Cinnamon Tree
Town: Kings Road, Canton, Cardiff
Date Visited: December 2009
Website: http://www.thecinnamontree.co.uk/
Location
On a popular side street in Canton, very limited parking available outside.
Ambience
Busy, but slightly canteen style with all the tables arranged in rows.
Service
Plenty of staff who seemed keen to please and overall good service.
Menu Choice
An abundance of tempting sounding dishes to choose from, with more exotic duck, ostrich and venison.
Food Quality
Below average – all the sauces of the dishes tasted the same apart from the amount of curry powder used to make them spicy. (A variety of dishes were ordered.) Chicken was slightly chewy and gave the impression of being reheated. Considering the choice available on the menu and the fact that the prices are on the high side, this was bitterly disappointing.
Value for Money
Prices generally high, around £8 for a main course without rice.
Overall Rating
2/5 – a good menu let down by the quality of the actual dishes and the fact that they all look and taste the same apart from the strength. There are many better restaurants around.
