When Sam Miah opened the first Cinnamon Lounge restaurant it brought back to life a former public house in Flockton Moor, between Huddersfield and Wakefield.

The restaurant proved so successful that two years later he launched the second Cinnamon Lounge, at Horbury Bridge, near Wakefield, before a third one in the centre of the "Merrie City" itself, Wakefield.

There′s also Ruby’s Lounge.

Award-winning head chef Anwar Ali has nearly 30 years′ experience of catering, and uses only the freshest ingredients combined with the basic traditional ways of cooking to create his mouth-watering dishes.

Cinnamon is a small evergreen tree from the Indian sub-continent and it’s the ground up bark which is used as a spice for cooking.

As a spice it’s renowned for its health properties and has traditionally been used to treat ailments such as toothache and the common cold; it’s also known to help digestion and is said to be beneficial to people with diabetes.

It was these health benefits that came to mind when Sam Miah was looking for a name for his first Cinnamon Lounge restaurant.

He started his career as a trainee chef in the family restaurant before progressing to front of house, and eventually manager.

Both Cinnamon Lounge restaurants can be hired for free during weekdays for special occasions and events, and in addition to our takeaway service we also provide outside catering for celebrations such as weddings, birthdays and anniversaries.
