Cinnamon Restaurant (Jai Mahal Palace Hotel)

We've been running the kitchen here at Cinnamon Restaurant inside the Jai Mahal Palace Hotel for a while now. If you're looking for us, we are right on Jacob Road in the Civil Lines area of Jaipur. It is a pretty old building, part of the palace grounds, so there is a lot of history in the walls. Most days it is quite busy with people coming in from the hotel or just folks from around town who know we’re here. We try to keep things simple. The kitchen staff stays busy prepping early in the morning because the heat in Jaipur can get a bit much later in the afternoon. We don’t do anything too complicated, just the food people expect when they sit down for a meal in a place like this. Anyway, sometimes the gardens outside look better than others depending on the rain, but that’s just how it goes. You can find us easily enough if you follow the signs for the palace. It’s a nice spot to sit down for a bit after walking around Civil Lines. We have been here quite some time and most of the staff have worked together for years. It isn’t some big corporate setup where nobody knows your name. We just focus on getting the plates out and making sure the tables are wiped down properly. If you are near 302006, you might have passed by the gates. We’re just inside there.
