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.

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. We would not hesitate to come back here again for a meal. #invernessthaifood #invernessindianfood

Totally different style of Indian food than I had eaten anywhere in Scotland (and we all know that they love their Indian food in the UK!). I was surprised that inside there were posters on the wall of famous chefs who had come in for a meal and loved it. Perhaps it's because I'm not a famous chef, but I certainly did not agree. The food seemed like a dumbded-down version of Indian. The spicy dishes were mild to slightly medium. The mild dishes were waaaaay mild, but SUPERRRR garlicky. And EVERYTHING had butter. The waiter tried to tell me that all Indian food has butter in it, including the rice, which is of course ridiculous. (duh, does he know me?). The manager said that he would try to make a "special" dish for me without the butter, which turned out mediocre, but whateves. The food wasn't bad per say, but definitely not up to the typical UK standard. The service was friendly and attentive; it seems that everything in Inverness shuts down pretty early, so when we stopped in for dinner, the streets were empty and there was only one other couple dining in -- so maybe that had something to do with it. Prices weren't too bad, but definitely not anything special enough to add stars for. There are a handful of Indian places up in Inverness, and if you're looking to grab a bite and don't want mild food, I'd suggest trying one of the other spots first (I'm just sorry we didn't get to).

Drinks came quickly but we could only order food from the greeter/manager (?) - that seemed weird. We got the dinner for 2 and all I can say was that was the sweetest tikka masala I have ever had. Tasted like red dyed candy coconut. Gross. Wanted spicy curries but no one bothered to ask. Overall, I can't recommend it. Ok for drinks and a view of Inverness, that is about it. Also, chicken balti was very good so that garnered another star.

Service was also unenthusiastic and slow, though one employee (maybe the manager?) made some friendly small talk. Even though the place was empty, and my plate was empty for twenty minutes, nobody brought me my bill. I had to get someone's attention. It does have a decent 2nd-story view over the loch and bridge, but without better food and service it's not worth it.
