"Fabulous Indian restaurant with plenty of Gluten Free and Vegan options! The food was delicious, I ordered Mild options and they were actually mild (in some places they are still too spicy for me). The service was nice and informative (I asked multiple questions regarding my allergies and they kindly answered all my questions). I will be back!"

"Had a lovely meal at Cinnamon Island.
The food was delicious and flavourful.
Best Indian restaurant in the area!
Staff were so attentive and polite.
The only thing I’d change is maybe some warm lighting.
We were served a complimentary shot of Baileys and an After Eight chocolate mint, which were served in beautiful glasses and plates.
Really excellent food and service.
Will be coming back again!"

"One of the best curry's I've had in the UK.
Let me start with the eat in service isn't the fastest but the staff is attentive and everything is made fresh.
We led with popadams and the pickle selection. Presented well and delicious! Probably the best mango chutney I've had.
We got the magic mushrooms, which take a while to make. They are battered mushrooms stuffed with chicken tiki, onions and brea crumbs with a delicious sauce over the top.
Next was the hot and spicy prawns in onion and pepper sauce. Three large prawns in their house made spicy goo was so good, I'd order it again now. If you like spicy, this is your plate. It's a builder and does the job.
We had Dahl and garlic Naan on the side and it was the perfect addition to the meal.
When we get back to Dover, we will be stopping in again."
