Neil Prentash reviews…

I am very sceptical when it comes to trying these many so called fine dining restaurants. So when me colleague mentioned a new
establishment had opened is his local village of Keyworth in Nottinghamshire and said he had heard good reviews i thought it was well
worth a detour from the regular one in the village which I should add has been in the village for more than ten years.

We booked a table at the Cinnamon in Keyworth on Saturday the 26th June 2010 for four people.

Upon parking across the restaurant it looked very modern with classy undertones so far so good. We were welcomed with great warmth and delight the restaurant was pretty full when we got there for our booking.

Our waitress showed us to our table and the interior was very classy and had a nice warm feeling, the atmosphere was very pleasing. We were able to see the chefs ply there exquisite trade with great precision as the kitchen was open with everything on view even all the spices which is rare.

Our waitress then approached and took our drinks order and also enlightened us to the specials available for the evening as well as giving
some recommendations.

Wine is was well put together and evenly balanced from good regions across the globe. We chose the Torres Santa Digna Sauvignon Blsnc from Chile a good tasteful and refreshing wine with a zippy finish.

The menu itself was something of a mix of the old and the new but with specials on offer it made our evening quite different to the normal meal expectations of our usual curry houses. The chef we were told is from the Kashmir region of Pakistan which meant most all dishes have individual bases and sauces for each dish.

I tried the Alloo Daal tikki (potato and lentil cakes) these were shallow fried and had beautiful texture and light spices with fresh pomegranate. Definitely not tried anything similar a very good starter choice.

Main course was Machli Salan(fish curry) a really light sauce with fresh salmon really smooth taste I could definitely taste the individual spices in this dish this just got better and better. Accompanied by coconut bread, which had a really smooth texture and went well with the fish dish.

Dessert: I had the special of home made mango sorbet, not too sweet just the right balance very refreshing a good way to finish.

Average cost per head was £25 and there is no service charge!.

Overall a very good night out and pleasantly surprised well worth a visit for any occasion.
