| - I've been looking for a new Indian place for a while, and this one did not disappoint. While many Indian restaurants take refuge in grease, everything at Cinamon was relatively light and relied on flavour rather than fat.The eggplant bartha was simply astounding; very flavourful and spicy, but not overwhelming. The bajis were a little doughy (I'm used to big, airy ones) but still had a nice, complex taste.
It was also nice that you can glance into the kitchen from the dining room (it's a very small space) and watch your naan being kneaded and grilled. The server was polite and friendly, even when the gigantic serving platters started overwhelming our table! On that note, I would be careful about coming here with more than 4-6 people, as it is a teeny tiny little place- but it being so close to the beach and right on Queen makes the location a winner. Grab dinner here, wander East along the beach, and up again to Queen for a dessert of Ed's Real Scoop ice cream (or, if it's more your style, East to Castro's for a beer) and you'll have had yourself a very pleasant evening!
