Reviews for Cinnamon Indian Grill in Columbus, OH

Just spent $75.00. Food is absolutely disappointing. I eat at morethan 100 indians restaurants in the US but this is the first... restaurant to screwup CTM. It had very over powering garlic, very bland and wasn't creamy at all as it should be. Mutton Fry isanother diaster. Fry should be almost non saucy and should be kinda dry dish. Here, you'll be served with mutton curry slappedwith a bunch of mint. I dont want mint curry, i wanted mutton FRY. Chicken 65 had so much oil, i might use it to cook anothercurry the next day. This doesn't define indian food at all. Naan's are another story all together. They were so thick, maybecould use it as a pillow tonight. This is an insult to indian food. No surprise you're offering buy one get one. Better offgoing to clove or biryani corner or any other restaurant for that matter. Spend your money wisely and not on this garbage. Read more

LISTEN!!! As a Black Woman, growing up eating well seasoned food….this place is TOP TIER!!! Everything fresh, so flavorful,... and no matter what food mixes/touches each other, it all pairs so well together. I love the spice, great portionsizes….definitely enough to enjoy with a friend. I’ll definitely be returning here! American food is the same old thing…ifyou’re looking to try something new, and you enjoy flavor…This place is for you!!! 10/10 would definitely recommend ????????

This is the BEST Indian restaurant in Columbus because it’s very authentic. All of the bad reviews are either from picky... eaters or people who only eat Americanized Indian food. They have such large portions for the price, always offer good deals,the spice levels are amazing because they’re true to real Indian food (only get mild or medium if you don’t like it toospicy.) they also have a large selection of different naan, and the best mango lassi I’ve had so far. Even two portions offood can usually feed me and one other person for two days bc you get so much and it’s not even that expensive. This placedeserves way more recognition, the more popular Indian places are not as good as cinnamon Indian. They deserve 5 stars. Read more

Cinnamon Indian Grill is the best Indian food in Columbus! Their dishes are delicious, fresh, and authentic. Their spice levels... are also amazing (don't go higher than Hot unless you can really handle the heat) and they offer great value for your money,especially with their lunch and dinner specials/combos. I've been here dozens of times over the last few years and have orderedmost of their menu items at least once, and have never had a bad experience. Truly a hidden gem. Eat here. You absolutely won'tregret it! Read more

Don't be put off by the old decor, this place was a gem! My husband owned his own Indian restaurant for decades before he... retired, so we are picky. My husband wasn't with me, it was just me and a colleague for a quick lunch while out of town. She hadnever had curry or Indian food of any kind before, so I ordered a mild Chicken Korma for her, while I ordered a Medium ChickenTikka Masala so she could taste that as well. Also ordered the butter naan. The food did take a little longer than we expected,but we arrived just at lunch time and they had A LOT of takeaway orders coming and going during that time. After waiting about25 minutes our food was brought out piping hot on polished plates, the silverware was also gleaming. We each took a fair shareof one another's curries to give them a taste. My colleague just widened her eyes and took another bigger bite. She lovedit! So after seeing her initial reaction, I finally took a taste. I must say that the food was as close to the wonderfulcurries my husband makes as I've ever had in over 20 years. Very clean spices, extremely tender and flavorful chicken, and lotsof it. In fact, there was so much left over that we took the rest home and had it for lunch at work the next day. Even betterthe second day! I'd eat there again, though maybe with a takeout instead. It isn't dirty, but it is dark and too quiet. Nomusic and the ambience was awkward. But I would definitely recommend anyone get a takeout from here, especially for someone whoalready loves curry!

I just moved to Columbus and was looking for a good North Indian restaurant. After a few unsuccessful tries at other places, I... ordered from Cinnamon Grill. It is now my go to restaurant!!! They balance out flavor and spice perfectly, which is hard to findin the U.S. (especially after going to India and trying food there). I am beyond excited to have this spot locally and know youwill NOT regret ordering from it. Also, the spicy option is SPICY so make sure you order medium if you are looking for theaverage American "spicy" most Indian restaurants have. They don't allow you to tip through Doordash, and don't have a tip jar atthe store, so make sure you bring cash in and tip them for their amazing food :). - Also, the portions are perfectly sized,especially compared to other Indian restaurants on the same street.

Honestly some of the best Chicken Tika Marsalis I've ever had. The sauce is spot on and the chicken is tender and juicy. Get... Naan to soak up the extra sauce! Read more

Excellent food. Mutter Tikka is bit sweet, but spicy enough to taste. Mutter is another name for green peas. It’s vegetarian,... I like it very much. Lamb Dansak is great!! My wife made a Good choice this time !!! My daughter ordered Paneer tikka masalawith roti. It is made with a nice mixer of some kind of cheese, very delicious!!! Overall we all liked it!! Great place!! Read more
