The aroma is incredible as you enter Cinnamon Indian Restaurant in Morris Plains.
The vibrant smell of cloves, cardamom, and yes, cinnamon, permeates the air at this casual restaurant in Morris County to the delight of Indian food fanatics.
The staff is friendly, helpful and willing to educate Indian food newbies about the ingredients making up each dish and about the extensive menu.
Cinnamon offers both an a la carte menu and a buffet for either lunch or dinner. Many diners opt for the buffet as it offers a chance to experience multiple dishes they might have not otherwise had an opportunity to sample.
The buffet features various salads, dips and yogurt sauces, flatbreads, rice and hot dishes. The chef’s special basmati rice serves as the ideal accompaniment to the assortment of sauce-based dishes.
Some stellar choices are matter paneer, tender peas and homemade cottage cheese in a spectacular curry sauce, the chicken tikka masala, a popular Indian dish of chicken baked in a spiced tomato and onion gravy and the favorite, tandoori chicken, cooked in a traditional clay oven.
Melt-in-your-mouth naan, a white flour bread baked in a tadoor oven is brought to the table for diners to enjoy as they begin their meals.
Cinnamon is a BYOB, but the restaurant offers lassi drinks that are perfect paired with the ultra flavorful dishes. The restaurant offers catering and take out.
Overall great food, friendly staff and an economical way to sample excellent Indian cuisine in a casual atmosphere.
