My in-laws wanted to enjoy a pub experience in the central business district with limited vegetarian options, so we decided to give Cinnamon a try. Like most indian restaurants, there were several vegetarian and a few vegan entrees and sides. We also enjoyed the bread options and the pakora. The best part was the friendly and helpful staff. My spouse can't handle spicy food, so they made all the the dishes mild, which is quite accommodating. They brought me a side of chili peppers, which add some heat for me. And the cost is affordable. I've read great reviews about the buffet, and hope to give it a try on a future visit.

The restaurant was virtually empty when we arrived for an early dinner. They have an extensive menu of both Thai and Indian cuisine. We first ordered Chicken Satay and Vegetable Egg Rolls as starters. I ordered the Panama Curry with Chicken and a Chicken Coconut Soup. My wife ordered the Seafood Platter with Spicy Noodles. Both meals and starters were outstanding. The service was very friendly, helpful and attentive throughout our meal. We ordered what seemed a large quantity of food for a reasonable price.

This restaurant was on a website I use for finding local vegetarian and vegan places and it was only as I entered that I saw the three reviews were from 2008, 2009, and 2012. As often happens when you sit at a table we were handed menus and asked if we wanted a drink. One of my pet hates is being asked that when I've not located a drinks menu, if there is even a drinks menu. The waiter was going to come back but I went quickly to the draft beers page and ordered the only one they had, a Cobra. Indian restaurants should be the easiest place to get vegan food given how many people in India are vegetarian but it oftens poses the most problems. Here, it seemed some staff had the duties of taking drinks and money, and others had the responsibility of taking food orders. I thought I'd start with asking if the vegetable pakora was ok for vegans... she looks at me and shakes her head "No.." Me: "Does it have milk...egg...?" "Yes". "What about the samosa or onion bhaji?" Again she kind of grimaced and shook her head. Then we went to the mains. Tarka Daal? No, it has cream/ghee, I can't remember which. Well, of course it does. Then we were told that that type of food isn't what they do - "because it doesnt taste as nice that way" - and Indian Ocean around the corner was better for vegetarians. Good to know when we were already sitting with two pints. Basically, some Indian restaurants cook fresh to order, but I got the feeling these guys want to cook fast, serve fast, and get their tables back for the next round of paying customers. Faffing about with replacing ghee with a veg oil won't fly. So, we were told any veg curries except the daal were ok, so we enquired about another two and were told they weren't suitable either. Some dishes clearly said they were cooked with butter, cream or ghee, but others didn't but they were, too. We went with a potato curry and a cauliflower curry which were listed as vegetable sides but we asked for them as mains. At this point she said we could have most of the chefs main curries with vegetables but I like potatoes and I like cauliflower and couldn't be bothered with the vagueness of "vegetables" and potentially having to dissect it for chunks of mushrooms - the only vegetable I don't like. Food came in less than 10 minutes. The chapattis were lovely. Curries were fine. When the bill came it was around £9.50/£9.95 for each main when the veggie chefs mains were £8.95 so I'm sure the prices were bumped up, possibly as minimum spend per person on food was £12.95. I'm giving two stars rather than one as the other staff - whom we didn't need to engage with in as much dialogue - we friendly and prompt and the food we ended up with satisfactory.

We found ourselves in need of a small bite so we got takeaway from Love Dosa. They have menu items that were slightly different than we were used to. We ordered a chicken curry. Unlike butter curry, it wasn't very creamy but had a thick tomato sauce to it. It was very spicy! Keep an eye out for the chili peppers as they aren't messing around. The chicken was cooked well but the sauce was a tad oily with a large layer of oil on the top. It was enjoyable and a large enough serving to split across two people.

My wife ordered the masala dosa, and I decided on the veg curry so we could try more of the menu and share. The dosa was delicious, crispy and filled with tasty spiced potatoes. The accompaniments...sambar, coconut chutney and tomato chutney, were also good. We both also enjoyed the curry, which was moderately spiced and filled with veggies. I ordered basmati rice and that was perfectly cooked and aromatic. The people who own this restaurant could not have been nicer. We chatted with them about our travels and enjoyed meeting them.

Then we had Pad Thai and Pad See Eew as entrees and I'd say those were just ok. Part of the issue was that the noodles were pretty much sticking together and that might have been partly due to it being take-out. But then also from a flavor perspective, it wasn't what we were used to. We live in California and are fortunate to have many, very good Thai restaurants nearby. Or, maybe our taste profiles are skewed. But again, just not what we were expecting. Having said that, if you're craving Thai (or even Asian) food in Inverness, there aren't many options and this will certainly do the trick. Btw, the servers were very friendly and helpful.

He also made perfect recommendations for our meal choices and based on the stars of this review - you can see he was spot on.
