"I’ve been coming to this restaurant now for well over a decade and it’s still my one and only reason for visiting Halifax. The food is always top quality, portions are generous and really good value for money. But more than that is the experience Pajaree herself provides. Always warm and friendly, cares for her customers and never forgets you. Her partner Philip is lovely too and always great to have a catch up with. We had mixed starters, a main each, egg fired rice and a pork omelette all washed down with a lovely bottle of Shiraz and the whole lot cost less than £55. If that’s not enough, I will let the pictures do the talking :"

"After using cinnamon spice for many years, last nights service was appalling. 4 hour wait for a curry ordered at 6pm via their website paid for in advance. Many calls during the evening and reassurance given even at 7.30pm informed it was being cooked clearly incorrect misleading information. After an evening of multiple calls to the restaurant having the phone just ringing out, calls cancelled and text messages unanswered I did speak to the restaurant at 10pm they still were giving excuses the curry was being cooked totally unacceptable. A family evening spoilt without even the courtesy to call us and inform us of a 4 hour delay. I dread to think of people who ordered after 6pm when or if their food arrived or was it just ours that was forgotten. The restaurant should not accept orders they cannot deliver in a timely manner and if a delay is above the informed time of delivery the customer should be informed at least then giving us the option of sourcing the families evening meal elsewhere. We are still awaiting a refund which was not processed last night as promised, again very disappointing when the money is taken out if the bank immediately refunds should also be prompt. A family evening ruined by incompetent organisation of a takeaway service which surely was anticipated to be busy, even more disappointing as the food us usually very good but significantly let down by the operational management."

"Arrived on time to be sent to the bar for 20 minutes while they prepared a table. Not acceptable with a child. The food was okay but flavour pairings were a little poor. Lipstick on the glasses and left without drinks for the whole main course. The children’s menu was awful, clearly created through necessity and not by someone who cares what children eat. My daughter ordered fish and chips at £9 she couldn’t eat much of it, it was cheap frozen fish and fries….. worlds away from the fish and chips my Mum ordered from the adults menu. It was supposed to be a treat as my daughter is a real foodie but another visit to Shibden Mill will now be my go to threat for bad behaviour. The 10% service charge was already added to the bill which was thoroughly undeserved so paid grudgingly."

"I brought my family to this restaurant today around 5 PM, so it was very quiet but still enjoyable. The decor was nice and the restaurant was clean. Our server, a young woman named Bahga (apologies if I spelled it wrong), was lovely and very patient with us, explaining everything on the menu. We ordered a Tawa with chops, chicken, two curries, chips, naan bread, and donner kebab meat. We got the portion for two people, but still had to take some leftovers home because the food was so delicious. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be returning in the future."

"Looking for somewhere quick and easy to eat on a Tuesday night in Halifax. The town was dead, everywhere was shut but we stumbled upon here. It felt like we'd stumbled into Fawlty Towers but it smelt amazing and actually the food didnt disappoint at all. Huge portions, I was even asked if I wanted to take my leftover spaghetti carbonara home!! Pizza for breakfast yes, spaghetti no!!!It was so quiet in the restaurant, no atmosphere whatsoever, it felt like I was sitting in a train station waiting room of old. Everything could do with bringing up to date by 20 years but having said that the food was pretty delicious and at the end of the day that's why we were there. Don't expect a romantic experience but if you're looking for large portions and decent food, this could be the place for you."
