Will come back for:
+ Rice + Lentils + Egg Plant curry and Tandoori Chicken
What an underrated place for lunch. The curries here are flavoursome, wonderfully spiced and simply delicious. If not for the food court setting this store will be far more well known. Serves were generous, service was super friendly and price was affordable for what you get. What more can you ask for? A certain regular guilty pleasure spot for me for lunch for sure.
One of my lunch time favourites. Choose your combination of meat, veggies and rice, they are all delicious. My favourite combo are yellow rice, dhal, goat or lamb curry and eggplant! Their rice meal comes with papadum and yoghurt. They used to offer extra chilli oil for free but not anymore.
They serve really good Sri Lankan food at decent prices. Convenient food court location. It can get busy during lunchtime and there's normally a long queue but the service is fast.
My first Sri Lankan food experience, accompanied by a new Sri Lankan friend who heartily recommended Cinnamon's as authentic cooking. Excellent value for money given the generous nature of the staff. I'd say a meal for one would easily be a meal for two, so I would suggest you do the take out option! Public Service Announcement: Wear loose pants. :)
Wonderful, bright, bold flavours. Flavours to make me stop mid-mouthful and think "I'm coming back again and again." The cabbage curry was exquisite and the dal was up there with the best I've ever had. Dal in an Indian subcontinental restaurant is like gnocchi in an Italian restaurant for me - if they can pull this off, it's a sure sign of a good meal and enthusiastic cooking. Get the fundamentals right, and get them right well and I'm all yours.
I spoke with the manager at the end of the meal to thank him for the food because I was so impressed with the unusual, interesting and arresting flavours. He was so excited to espouse the virtues of his home country's cuisine and I was extremely grateful for his time. I'll definitely be back.
If you need a lunch full of flavour this is the place to be! Service is very quick, as you can imagine the lunch rush hour, this is ideal!
I went had lunch here on Monday and I have had it again on Tuesday and now Wednesday! Best curries ive tasted!
Delicious, great portions and excellent value for money. Been here about half a dozen times and each time was great. Only open Mon to Fri though which is a bit of a shame.
My first experience of Sri Lankan food and enjoyed it very much. The curries were reasonably hot and spicy which was nice. Disappointed in the desserts tonight, not sure if it was just an off night but they looked not very nice! The music was very interesting...lol, entertaining! Thanks for a good night.
Awesome srilankan food!!! Still i drool when i think of the food..chicken/goat of dfferent variety will be served along side saffron rice and believe me its really affordable for the great taste!!.i would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting Melbourne!!
Curry in a hurry? Come to Cinnamon's for some authentic Sri Lankan with a range of spiciness and meats that include goat!
I usually have a group lunch here with colleagues and it's a great little place that tests your tolerance to chilli. Today, I was a little disappointed with the portion size as I usually get a bit more and not to mention my missing papadum. Usually they get this right though.
Come early to beat the queue and score yourselves a table to eat as they are shared with the other eateries there.
this place is amazing. best Sri Lankan food in Melbourne, anyone after actual Sri Lankan food should go here. If anyone's see the scene in Ratatouille where the food brings a tear of joy to the food critic's eye, that is how this place will make you feel. you must visit it.
Amazing food and great prices. Huge portions but no compromise on quality. The eggplant curry is the best I have ever had.
This is best, most tastiest lunch place in the city. Service is a bit slow, but worth the wait. I’m addicted.
My wish is to work in this beautiful place. Yes, Australia is wonderful, and its people and government are wonderful
I just stumbled across this place today. Really good and authentic Sri Lankan curries.
Best Curries I have ever had in Melbourne. It’s a busy take away and there is a tasty reason.
They prefer cash but eftpos is available with extra charges So Keep some cash in your pocket when you are here:).
Loved it love ❤️.. highly recommend
Best curry in Melbourne. I’d easily eat here once a week. Price is on point, servings are big. Staff are always lovely, even when they’re getting smashed at lunch hour! Opens at 12 and there’s usually a line waiting beforehand for good reason. Lamb, goat and eggplant are my picks.
Best Sri Lankan food in the city. I love all the dishes. Especially the eggplant when it's in season. I don't know why some people only rate it 4 stars. The prices are great for the quality fresh spices used. Great job guys! Keep up the tasty work :)
