Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Absolutely delicious. The waiters strike just the right balance between being there when you need them and leaving you alone to enjoy the gorgeous food. Salem was great, describing dishes we weren't familiar with. Love the decor and ambience

Have been a few times so decided on this occasion we took our family two children with us. They never got the food with the starters waited along time to get main course children were starving. Charged for chutneys yet they are taken off your table even though your being charged and every time you ask for more your charged again ! We noticed this on our bill.. which wasn’t cheap! also not against leaving a tip but the food is expensive but nice and you then get charged service charge which is a lot too.. and then no complimentary drink as other tables received .. I didn’t find it as friendly as other times we went.. very disappointed that we took our family there.

Hello and thanks for getting in touch with us. We regret that the experience didn't live up to your expectations. Although there was no mention of this when you ordered, the meals would have been delivered in the order you asked for if you had requested that the children's main courses be served first alongside the starters. Chutney trays are taken off the table to make room for the main courses, therefore we apologize if they were taken from the table too soon. As for the service charge, it is explicitly stated on the receipt as being completely optional and not required, it goes without saying that we would expect our customers to read this. In the future, if you think the service charge is unacceptable, please tell a staff member and we'll get it removed. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may have given you and hope to do better on your future visit. Kind Regards Cinnamon Lodge

We really enjoyed our meal here. Spacious restaurant, welcoming staff taking an interest in their guests; we overheard pleasantly familiar conversations with returning customers. All the classic "Hight Street Indian" dishes available and quite a few more to explore. We particularly enjoyed the starters - one of the nicest Chicken Tikkas I've ever had. The only slight disappointment was my main: I experimented in ordering the Goan Lamb Xcutee, which was not quite as exciting as I was expecting, but I suppose that's a matter of personal preference, no doubt others will love it. We hope to return and try some of the other dishes.

Thank you for this insightful, glowing review djna01. We are so pleased you found your meal enjoyable along with the atmosphere and team. We are so blessed as a restaurant to have a good mix of regulars/ locals and first timers which is always so lovely and we welcome everyone in just the same. Our chicken Tikka is a classic and one that many people love. We are really glad you enjoyed its flavours and found it to be the best you've had. We are sad to hear about the main not competing closely with the Chicken Tikka. Taking an experimental approach to trying new dishes can be brilliant and you can find your new favourite meal, or you find things that don't 100% match with your spice and taste preferences. We look forward to welcoming you back and helping you find new dishes that we know you'll love.

I had booked for four of us for my sons birthday, at least a month in advance. I requested on the booking form a quiet table, and indicated our visit was for a special significant birthday. We arrived exactly at our booked time and were shown straight away to a non set table, suitable for 6-8 people in the middle of the restaurant, squashed alongside a pillar. As there were no other empty tables there was no option to request another. I did ask, but was told they were fully booked. The restaurant was so loud and as the table was big, we could barely make any conversation. Such a shame as there are multiple tables for four all around the restaurant which would have been perfect. What’s the point in booking if your table isn’t reserved for you? It’s the second time we’ve been given an odd table despite booking. We were previously given a table for two, again in the centre of the restaurant flanked by two massive round tables of 6-8 people. Food was good as per previous visits, nicely presented and very tasty. Service was slow, as expected on a busy Friday, but we felt forgotten and has little idea who was actually our server. We waited a long time to be offered any drinks, and even longer for our mains. Locally, the restaurant is more slightly more expensive than others, and the quality usually reflects that, but £4 for one small tray of chutneys that were whisked away very quickly, was surprising to see on the bill. Our poppadoms were charged separately. Would I go back? Maybe, but not for a special occasion. We didn’t enjoy our evening as much as we had hoped which was a real shame, and will stick to our nearby restaurant in the future.

Dear Guest Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are extremely sorry that you and your family had to go through such an ordeal, as it fell short of our standard experience. It goes without saying we will do our very best to make up for this next time. In some situations we are able to switch customer tables around (when circumstances allow). Unfortunately this was not one of those times and we are extremely sorry about that. In future, please give us a call ahead of time and request to speak to the manager (Hasan), mention this experience and we’ll make sure we go the extra mile for both you and your guests. And of course we’ll take extra care to ensure that your seating arrangements are suitable. Kindest regards and sincerest apologies, Cinnamon Lodge

I must commend The Cinnamon Lodge team for their impeccable food and customer service. These guys ensured that we had a wonderful family reunion and took away all the stress of catering. I talked to them in advance about the large order and they couldn't have been more helpful. Everything went like clockwork - the food was delivered on time piping hot and tasted incredible. The meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans among us were all delighted with their choices and we will definitely be back for more. THANK YOU x

As usual, great service and great food in this very popular restaurant. Make sure you book beforehand though due to its popularity. Always made welcome. Great speciality dishes and a bit different from the average Indian restaurant menu. Just ask if you want a dish more or less spicy and they are happy to cook to your requirements.

As per usual, the food was delicious - highly recommend trying the chef specials. The staff and very knowledgeable and so attentive. They gave us recommendations and descriptions and bought free sauces to the table for us to try with our meal. The food here is always a 10/10 as are the staff. It was really busy on a weeknight which I was delighted to see as they deserve it

So I stopped ordering Indian food in Abbots Langley after lots of bad experiences time and time again from poor quality meat, sauces that tasted similar like they'd all been made from the same base sauce, mould in one of the pots with chopped onions, the list goes on... Last night my mum and I really fancied an indian and she asked if there was any I hadn't tried in Abbots and said I had never tried Cinnamon Lodge. Well, the food was DELICIOUS. Fantastic quality meat, beautiful sauces, fresh light fluffy naans, bahji's to die for. The sag aloo had plenty of spinach and fantastic flavour, the vegetable rice was light, packed with veg, non oily. It is a little more expensive than some of the others but I would far rather pay more, and have far better quality. Thank you Cinnamon Lodge for not just being the best Indian in Abbots but one of the best Indian takeaways I have full-stop.

GrandTour690813, This has to be one of the best reviews we've ever had! Knowing that we've been able to break the chain of disappointing takeaways from Abbots Langley for you is incredibly rewarding. It's a joy to hear that you enjoyed our authentic Indian food, from the fantastic quality meat to the fresh, fluffy naans and of course the bhajis. We take great pride in the care and attention to detail that goes into each dish we serve. We understand that quality often comes with a slightly higher price tag, but we firmly believe that it's worth every penny to provide our customers with nothing but the best and give them an exceptional experience at Cinnamon Lodge. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're delighted to have exceeded your expectations with our takeaway. Thank you once again for choosing Cinnamon Lodge and for your glowing review. We can't wait to welcome you and your mum back for another amazing takeaway soon!

There are several Indian restaurants in Abbots Langley but after visiting the Cinnamon Lodge, we have not been anywhere else. The food is excellent with a good choice of speciality dishes and the service is great and very interpersonal. We always recommend this restaurant and our friends have never been disappointed.

Excellent food! We had the onion bahji and Paneer tikka for starters. The children had chicken tikka masala and we had the biriyani and the lamb xcutee. Great service in a really busy restaurant (which you don’t usually get) but hanks mainly to Ash. Highly recommend!!

The change in ownership/management has had a very positive impact on the quality of the food here. In my opinion, it is the best available in the area. We have had some takeaways and have been to the restaurant a couple of times. My wife enjoys the Goan Fish curry, and I have sampled a number of their dishes. All very tasty indeed. Such a relief to be able to get a good Indian meal locally. The manager/owner is very polite and helpful. I think the rest of the server team needs a bit more training to raise their confidence, particularly with drinks orders. I imagine this will come with time.

Recently changed ownership so we gave it a go....we weren't disappointed! My wife enquired about garlic mushrooms which she thought she saw online, they were not on the menu but the chef knocked up a great ad hock starter. Every course was served, prepared with passion. The curry wasn't the usual sloppy fayre but beautifully created....we will be returning soon! Give it a go, truly worth it. The best Indian in Watford.

Further to my review in July —- I’d just like to add. I was unaware that someone had asked for complimentary drinks I only heard a waiter offer them! Therefore I apologise as I would not have done that. I was also unaware of any complaints made on evening? I just felt the service was not up to scratch, of course you didn’t have any other complaints from other patrons as the waiting staff were spending their time being attentive to them & not our table of 11. As previously mentioned the Food was very good I just felt the service let you down.
