Food was great. I got the medium hot spicy lamb biryana and it was very hot but not unbearable. My girlfriend got the lamb ribs. They were busy and warned us of a delay but it was no problem and we still got our food in decent time.

Only ate takeout from Cinnamon Kitchen, and it was incredible. To this day, the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten. The spice levels are incredible, the flavors are stupendous (specifically loved the Chana Saag). Our food was always ready in 15-25 minutes, which is incredible. And, the prices were great for the portions that we ordered. Highly recommend, and thank you to the owners and employees of Cinnamon Kitchen!

EXCELLENT!!! So authentic and truly unreal how incredible the food was here. They staff and owner were so friendly and helpful in deciding exactly what we wanted to eat. I couldn’t believe how spicy even “medium” heat food was until I tried a tray here. If you like Indian style food this place will blow your mind. Do yourself a favor and stop in next time you’re anywhere in the area. I’ll be back time and time again!

My meal was absolutely delicious! Big portions, so I have leftovers for a 2nd meal. Very nice presentation. I had the lamb korma with garlic naan. They have a chicken or vegetarian thali meal specials for lunch that looked wonderful too. Will definitely be back.

Amazing. After several failing tries to dine at this restaurant we finally could make it this past weekend, the service is super attentive and kind. The seating and overall ambient of the restaurant is cozy and comfy. The menu is a book fill with delicious dishes ( literally you can’t go wrong with any of the choices) and of course the food was exquisite. Presently balanced spices, sauces. Nice large portions for those to love dipping some bread on the entrée sauce. For those how love blonde lager beer I recommend the kingfisher is so refreshing and full of flavor you are going to want more than one. To close this wonderfull experience the check. I think is a fair price for the level of restaurant, service and food they serve. Totally recommend . For more honest and detailed reviews like this one I invite you to follow my profile and there you will find a guide of the most wonderful places to visit in western North Carolina. #wnc #Indiancuisine #nicerestaurant #asheville

The food is always very good. They have all the traditional entries, and you can get them prepared mild or spicy. I like the veggie special, which amounts to a sampler. Not all Indian restaurants have this option. I don’t have a favorite, so a little of this and that is perfect. Never too busy, but they do a lot of to go orders, and that slows service in-house. I’ve been eating here for years, tried all the other Indian in town, and though some have a better atmosphere or a different take on preparation, this remains my go-to spot. Oh, I don’t do 5 stars. Having eaten at multiple Michelin stars resturants, I have a different standard of what it means to earn that extra star.

The food tasted delicious and was pretty authentic compared to any other place in NC. The service was good and their Naan was amazing. I am taking my bff when she comes down from MD and telling all my coworkers cause its so good and I am definitely coming back.

From the moment I came in, I had wonderful service and well taken care of. The food was amazing! I particularly loved the chicken 65 and chicken biryani I’d give more than 5 stars if I could!
