"Set in a Taj palace hotel, Cinnamon plates royal-kitchen Indian cooking — Chef Pradeep's laal maas makes it a special Jaipur dinner."
Cinnamon sits inside the Taj Jai Mahal Palace at Jacob Road, Civil Lines, in what was once the dining room of the Jaipur State's prime minister. It is the palace hotel's fine-dining Indian restaurant, led by Chef Pradeep, with a menu drawn from the royal kitchens of Rajputana, Awadh and Hyderabad — traditional recipes given a modest contemporary turn.
The standout is laal maas, the fiery Rajasthani mutton curry that defines the region's cooking. Around it sit dum murg biryani, butter chicken, and vegetarian plates such as dahi ke kabab and an array of paneer preparations, finished with a house cinnamon ice cream. A private dining nook, the Bajot, serves a special chef's menu with the chef-in-charge at the table. Whole spices and royal-kitchen technique carry the menu.
The room carries the palace's heritage grandeur — high ceilings, period detail and the calm of the Jai Mahal's 18 acres of Mughal gardens outside. Service is formal and well-drilled, in keeping with a Taj address. It suits a dressed-up dinner more than a casual drop-in.
For an anniversary, a proposal or hosting visitors in Jaipur, Cinnamon is the palace-hotel choice: royal-kitchen Indian cooking, formal service and a heritage room. Book a special-occasion table, or the Bajot for a private chef's menu.
