"As a family we decided to go try Ferndowns #5 restaurant... We walked in and asked if there was a table as we hadn 't booked. After a minute of waiting we were told the table in the window was available for us. As soon as we had sat down a waiter asked if we 'd like poppadoms to which having been put on the spot I just ordered 1 each for the family (3 of us). Had I have seen the price I 'd have likely not bothered as I was billed for two lots of pickles... For three popadoms! That aside I had to ask three times to get a menu, the writing was on the wall at this point and should 've paid for the poppadoms and left! We eventually ordered and despite the restaurant being moderately busy it took 55 minutes to get our meals. Mine and my sons were visibly not hot, I touched the bottom of the ceramic bowls the curry was served in and they were Luke warm at best, clearly had been sat waiting for the third main to be cooked and had not been under a heat lamp. If I was to guess the temperature I 'd say they were 35-40°C which is certainly way below the hot holding temperature! I work in the food industry so can tell. I cut off a little piece of chicken from both of the COLD curry dishes to try and I can confirm that they were way too cold... I asked for these two meals to be recooked and the manager who had been brought over by the waiter which didn 't speak English to see what we wanted... He offered to reheat these in the microwave which I said was unacceptable as these had been in the danger zone for an unknown period of time. He agreed to have them freshly cooked, five minutes later two replaced microwaved dinners returned. How can I tell? Because the two pieces of chicken I cut into were still present. I then had to ask for cutlery and a plate... Having had to wait so long for such a disappointing meal was the icing on the cake, Completely lack lustre in flavour, also asked for the bhuna masala (their chicken tikka masala as a mild from their mild, medium or hot) and it turned up pretty spicy, considerably spicier than the hot curry I had ordered. I would suggest this restaurant spends less time cutting fancy shapes out of onions and learns about hot holding temperatures, safety management systems and how to cook a decent BIR curry. A 1 star rating is too kind. I don 't appreciate walking out of somewhere £80 lighter for potential food poisoning. On a plus side the pint of Kingfisher was cold. Avoid."

The food was very good, I had the chefs special curry it was very, very flavoursome. It's probably the best curry I've had in years.
Ellard
I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. I made a reservation even though I was dining at an early hour, but it turned out to not be necessary. There were plenty of options to choose from on the menu.

Sat down at half 7... didn't get to eat as we left at half 9... shocking, staff came round twice in two hours. Glasses were empty and bellys were rumbling. Would I recommend, maybe if you were the only one in the restaurant. View menu

Can’t review the food as we sat for two hours and finally walked out. Massive table of 21 on the other side of the room had also waited for ages. One waiter taking orders, one to serve drinks, and another who just wandered around. Appalling service.

Having used Cinnamon on many occasions for takeaway I was not happy to catch food poisoning from their Prawn Passanda. I was the only one within my family who had the dish and it's put me off from either returning or having any of their seafood dishes in the future.

Delivery quick however the chicken tikka in the starter and the massala was rubbery the massala sauce was grainy and left an awful feeling in the mouth. Pilau rice was lumpy never had lumpy pilau rice before. Finally the naan breads were lukewarm when opened. My first experience of a curry in Ferndown since moving I won't be returning. £40 could be spent better elsewhere View menu

Decided to treat ourselves to an Indian tonight, used the so called top Indian restaurant in Ferndown. Delivery time was quoted as up to 40 mins but ours took way over Ann hour, once it did arrive the delivery driver attempted to deliver it to the house across the road. When we did get the food it was barely warm, and to top it all off currently me and my wife have food poisoning. Avoid and use Joy instead.

I believe that Cinnamon's quality has declined. I'm not sure if they have a new chef or something else has changed. I ordered a curry last night and found a dead mosquito in my vegetable curry, which was highly upsetting. Additionally, the taste was completely different from when I last had it. My sister also mentioned that her meal was not very good. The only positive aspect was that the delivery arrived in about 20 minutes. It seems like even the mango sauce has been altered.
