The place is situated in heart of London, with many attractions at walking place. It's tough to find Indian food in London (except Dishoom) but this place deserves a special mention for it. The food was way too tasty then any other outlet. The waiters were friendly along with nice ambience. Some of recommendation might be Lamb Biryani and Bombay Street Food.
Though the food was slightly over-priced, I will still love to revisit them.

I am a picky eater when it comes to ‘Indian’ food, partly because I am Indian. There is a clear distinction between British Indian food and real Indian food and I don’t look at them the same way. Cinnamon Kitchen is the real deal.
Now that we’re in safe territory, let’s talk about food. We ordered the palak chaat for starters and were very pleased with its crunchy, sweet, warm and tangy burst of flavours. While we waited we were served a complimentary croquette as an amuse bouche – keeping our hangry from hulking!
For mains we had the tandoori chicken, trio of daal and stuffed parantha. The chicken was well barbecued and tasted good but the extras accompanying it were pardonable. The trio of dal included a portion of under-seasoned chickpeas which downplayed the rest of the tray. Otherwise, the yellow dal and black dal were closer to home.
What did impress me was that their dessert menu included authentic regional treats from India that wouldn’t find a place on the average Indian food menu, such as Mishti doi and Ghevar!
The restaurant was quite busy for a weekday and as a result, the service was sporadic – too involved at times or too inattentive. It was buzzing with corporate banter (and very loud). So much so that it became difficult to hear each other. If it wasn’t as cold, we would have sat in their outdoor lounge area, which was quieter and rather romantically decorated.
I have to admit, I was a little bit late to the party with gin. It's been super popular over the last few years, but I've pretty much avoided it like the plague since my uni days. . I remember I really, really wanted to be 'in to' gin when I was in second year - so I used to drink it at 'pre-drinks' to absolute excess and would wake up in the morning either depressed (which explains why they call it Mother's Ruin) or with the hangover from hell. Recently though, now I've learnt my limits, I've discovered that gin & I actually do get along.
