Cinnamon Red

I had been to this restaurant on several occasions but sadly they have had a fire and the restaurant is currently closed.

Are all these negative reviews for the same Cinnamon Red in Balsall Heath that I visit? It seems like sour grapes by competing restaurants, shame on them. I have visited the restaurant regularly since the demise of Spice Avenue and can whole heartedly say it is one of the finest restaurants in Birmingham.

I visited last week with an old flame Kabir and it was nothing short of a brilliant evening. I could swear some of the spices used in my meal acted as an aprodisiac but thats a completely different matter.

As mentioned by the gentlemen from the Stratford mail, ignore the negative reviews and give the restaurant a try. As someone else once said, you have nothing to lose but your prejudices

Waited for my delivery for 1 and a half hours and i was inside the 3 mile radius, but when it did arrive the delivery driver was charging me for delivery charge when it says free delivery within 3 miles, and of course my food was cold and guess what it was totally the wrong order :S i made an official complaint to the management over the phone and he had promised me a free meal 'on the house' next time round, but when i did order next time i was charged full price, but just given a 20% discount. Food was nice, but i wouldnt be ordering from here again.

This restaurant has poor quality of food. The service is the only thing that PROBABLY is feasable. Sort your restaurant out!

I go there every week because they have a stop the clock offer which means that if you turn up before 7 PM then it only costs seven pounds for a starter, main course and rice or naan bread. Good-quality food and service is fine. Note that the restaurant only opens at 6:30 PM despite the sign on the window saying it opens at six!

Cinnamon Red is different when it comes to the food and the service. I felt as if i was at home. I found the atmosphere to be relaxed and the guys were friendly.

My personal experience with other dining places in birmingham was that i always being rushed to finish my meal and to pay for the bill.

Cinnamon Red was busy when I arrived but however the waiters made us feel welcomed and provided beverages until our table was ready. I found that regardless of how busy it was i was never a point rushed at all whats so ever.

The owner apologised for the wait and provided exceptional service that even restaurant owners forget a personal one 2 one service.

I have read few comments which strikes me why people think bad of this place and they are still busy. An example for a paying customer would be if the food was bad, the first action would be to complain an address these issues, ask for concession as the meal was not up to your satisfaction. Highlight these issue to restauarant, but individiuals pay and start complaining over the net which automatically states that even if they tried the upmost to provide a good level of service it will still will be sufficient.

I am a food critic of the local paper and will state that do try. There are numorus restaurants that do place bad reviews to demoralise particular restaurants. A suggestion would be to try before you leave any feedback and advise the restaurant of your experience.

Shocked about the numerous bad reviews but went not long ago and everything was top. The food was great, silver service, everything was nice and clean and staff very friendly and welcoming. Glad I gave it a shot, try it out and ask for the stop the clock deal which is what we had you get good value for money.
