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.

*Top picks* - Palak chaat, Desserts
I am a picky eater when it comes to āIndianā food, partly because I am Indian. There is a clear distinction between British Indian food and real Indian food and I donāt look at them the same way. Cinnamon Kitchen is the real deal.
Now that weāre in safe territory, letās 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 ā 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 wouldnāt 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 ā 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 wasnāt 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.Ā . 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.Ā Recently though, now I've learnt my limits, I've discovered that gin & I actually do get along.

I seemĀ have a taste of things allĀ clustered together. First there was Benares in Madrid which has michelin star connections and is well known and respected in London for not only its food but its super star Chef. Now, I find myself at Cinnamon Kitchen, whilst without such high accolade, is sister restaurant to the celebrated Cinnamon Club known as a bit of an Indian cuisine institution.
Myself and Sam Vanilla opted to go for the early dinner star deal from bookatable which is proving to be a bit of a tradition for us. These deals are great and expose you to some establishments that you may not go to if you were paying the full whack.
Expectedly quiet for the early seating, its low lighting and warm rustic colours ensured you didn't feel like the only guests in the place. There was a warmth and exoticness which made you feel comfy.
Now restaurants have a love/hate relationship with things like star deals. The purpose is to get people in for the early and late sittings so they can top up on the revenue, but at the same time they can sometimes turn their nose up when you come in for, probably thinking you are a peasant for not paying full price. At the end of the day, remember this, you are doing them a favour. When you think of the costs to have the staff waiting there, the kitchen at the ready, the utilities to power the place etc, your pennies help cover the costs.
Our menu included a cocktail and three courses at Ā£30. From the starters we went for bombay street food which did not come with much of a description either on the menu or from our waitress. We managed to figure out itĀ included dabeli (a spicy snack with potato and masala), chickpea cake and papdi chaat which was chick peas, boiled potatoes, yoghurt and taramind chutney. I went for the chargrilled pork ribs with chilli and honey glaze. It was suitably sweet and I will say, the meat fell of the bone. For our main course, we had a sharing platter which had lamb kebab (served medium rare so you are aware), massive grilled king prawns, chicken tikka and tandoori cod fillets. This was partnered with a side of rice and tarka dhal for sauce - much needed as it was quite a dry sauce. At first I wasn't sure there would be enough for the two of us, but it was very filling and a really good call for people to try a selection of items.
The cocktail to start was a cinnamon bellini, which was my fill for the drinks part of this. Sam Vanilla went on to have the espresso martini, twice. Desserts formed part of the set menu. I went for the dark chocolate mousse with white chocolate crumble and milk chocolate ice cream. Sam avoided the desserts like the plague as she was mad full.
Cinnamon Kitchen is located in the gorgeous Devonshire Square tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the City. The restaurant serves modern Indian cuisine with exotic colours and flavours. The interior of the restaurant is lovely and there is a large terrace area outside, which is even better!. As none of us had been before, we decided to try a selection of the appetizers and small grills and a sharing platter (cod, prawns, chicken and lamb). We tried the bombay street food, grilled squid, marinated duck, spiced partridge, lentils and garlic and plain naan. This was enough for three people and gave us the opportunity to sample a variety of dishes.
Delicious, succulent food. Not too heavy, drinks are great and atmosphere is pleasant. Service is friendly and attentive. Restaurant decorated well
Still one of my preferred London restaurants, my impression of Chef Vivek Singhās Cinnamon Kitchen has been favourably coloured by my House of Holi experience. Returning to Cinnamon Kitchen for a third vibrant year, House of Holi opens to the public today adding a fluorescent flourish to Devonshire Square with purpose-built pod set up outside the restaurant in Devonshire Square where willing participants can let loose with paint throwing festivities that mark Holi, the Indian festival of colour.
Every year Cinnamon Kitchen sets up a play pod in Devonshire Square for their Holi celebrations. Thereās special food and drink and the opportunity to play with paint!. I love the stunning coloured cocktails. Holi is the festival of colour ā to announce the arrival of spring, though it might not feel like that in London right now.
The level of service was 5/5 I haven't been to a restaurant in a long time where the service and friendly staff was as good as here. Great venue, amazing food selection and quality - would highly recommend and will go again.
So I recently visitors cinnamon kitchen for dinner with my friend and her parents. I was happy about the choice because it's a 3 minute walk for me, making it super convenient. Upon entering it was super busy, and we were immediately seated and after a couple of minutes a server came to help us. We ordered literally everything vegetarian from the menu. For starters we had the chilli Chinese paneer (which I personally enjoyed a lot) and the tapiyoka cakes (which were slightly bland). Next, we had the stuffed mushroom main and the kofta with lemon rice. I thoroughly enjoyed both. We also called for the black dal and a variety of naans to accompany. Lastly for desert we had the mango kulfi, dark chocolate mousse (which was divine) and the spiced pistachio cake. The presentation of the food was lovely however the portions could have been larger for the price. Overall it was a pleasant dining experience with an interesting take on Indian food.
It is the festival of colour, the festival of love. Ā And, amazingly good fun as I discovered last year at Cinnamon Kitchen. Ā If you missed Holi in the City last year then youāre in luck. Ā This year it has returned and you can join in the fun at Cinnamon Kitchen in Ā Devonshire Square.

Haven't been to Cinnamon Kitchen for a couple of years (we were frequent visitors to its sister restaurant, Cinnamon Club), but I was pleased to find that the quality and standard of food remained the same - which is to say that it was absolutely delicious.
Tucked away in Devonshire Square, the atmosphere can be a little corporate, but get past the suits outside in the bar area and you're met by swish, modern interiors and a view of part of the kitchen.
I always order the chutneys and bread selection (sweet AND savoury naan - always a winning combination!) to start. My Kerala style stir fried prawns were beautifully presented and quite generously portioned. I dipped my fork more than once into my husband's delicious tandoori chicken, which was tender and had a smokey flavour, offset by the tart hint of lime.
My main of lamb biryani hit the spot, but it was the buffalo milk kulfi (which I always order!) and the gold leaf foil that adorned it that stole the show.
Always a winner, though service could be improved, hence the 4.0 rating. A bit lacklustre and unenthusiastic all around, though I suppose we *were* in the City, after all.
Every dish had a distinctive taste and was wonderful. Service was excellent.
Will recommend and return
Gorgeous venue and best Indian restaurant in London. Gorgeous venue for group bookings and must say very impressive backdrop for weddings. I had been there last year to attend a friends wedding coupled with a personal visit recently. It never fails to impress and very popular among both Britishers and Indian fraternity. I wonder how they mange to please people with various expectations. One of the interesting aspect was to see how manage the crowd in the Bar as it does get a bit busier and people after few pints forget they are humans. I was very impressed with their Indian Duty Manager's approach towards a city broker. My only suggestion to them would be to also open on Saturday for lunch time and perhaps change the furniture in the front area. Other than that perfect and stylish setting and "Best Indian food" in London atleast in east.
Yum. When my boyfriend offered up Cinnamon Kitchen for a late NYE dinner, I was sceptical. However, this place was packed, the atmosphere was great, and the food was consistently good for both of us.
The only slight drawback was that I declared an allergy, was told a dish would be modified, but I ended up being served the unmodified dish. An alternative was given once I brought this to their attention.
The service overall was really good and attentive especially considering the volume of punters. A good way to ring in the New Year!
New years Eve dinner for a late sitting. Food was excellent.
Indian fizz - a modern Indian treat. (Visit 17/5/10) We wanted a not-extortionate place to eat in the City before going out on Saturday night - we signed up to the 3 course and glass of fizz for Ā£19 deal on Toptable and had a confirmation back within 5 mins. Walk through the deserted and pristine Devonshire Square to get to the venue, inside was buzzy and friendly. I'd never experienced non-curry orientated Indian cuisine before - I loved it. Had cockles in a coconut fish soup, Tandoori stuffed potatoes and a range of minature kulfi on vermicelli for desert. Will definitely go again and soon.
The chicken had a lovely charcoal flavour, melt in your mouth texture. The lentil curry was quite understated so as no to overpwer the taste of the chicken, but it was still very pleasant.
Modern Indian food in smart City setting. Sister to Cinnamon Club in Westminster.
Not that I'm complaining, but clearly a cheap night was no longer on the cards especially when I had the Ā£40 meat tasting plate. This had distinct portions of lamb, red deer and Scottish angus beef. Each was spiced and garnished in a complimentary fashion that brought the flavour of the meat to the fore. The lamb was absolutely epic. The deer was nearly as good. Remarkably the beef was bringing up the rear flavour wise.
The black leg chicken was succulent, plump and juicy ā a refreshing change from the usual cubed pieces of chicken often served in curries. The Murgh Korma sauce was rich and nutty with subtle spiciness and interesting flavours.
The great thing about Singhās food is that it provides a range of unique and interesting flavours, whilst remaining unmistakably Indian; other āmodernā Indian restaurants take note!

Booking essential here, the place was absolutely heaving and after eating here I can see why. We had the tasting menu with wines. First starter was vegetable kebab, it looked like a bowl of veg but the flavours were incredible! Second starter was shrimp, the heat and flavour became more intense with every mouthful. Middle course was duck and egg cutlet, which was like a kebab and was delicious.
Sea bream was the first main course, lovely flavour on the fish. Second main course was tandoori red deer, which had caught our attention when we first saw the menu. This dish was delicious the meat was cooked med-rare, (we were asked our preference) the portion was huge. Gorgeous!
Dessert was white chocolate mousse, which i throughly enjoyed.
The food here is amazing, fantastic flavours and the wine parings worked really well, they took the edge of the heat and weren't too strong.
A very popular restaurant with a buzzing atmosphere, service was great, and very well paced with such a huge amount of diners.
Highly recommended
This is a pretty amazing place according to me.In fact i quite like it! I believe the place is perfect for private parties and i highly advise people to drop in to their cocktail bar for sure!
The chef here is just excellent and the food on offer both healthy for the pocket and varied too.The service here is of top quality and the pre fixed menu just incredible. I recommend dropping in after 9 pm and trying the most awesome cocktails ever!
An Indian restaurant that needs to improve on its service and some of the dishes on the menu. The staff is not trained and is forgetful which is not acceptable. The non vegetarian sampler was average with some very good and some not so good dishes. The main course was not so spicy as promised. The mango lassi was good but not great. The prices are steep.
I have been here twice and found my experience to be wonderful, twice. Everyone in the group of six people, on my first visit, loved the food, the pleasant and amicable staff. Our favourites of the meal were the starters, the amuse bouche. Everything was full of delicate flavours which left you asking for more. The desserts were brilliant too. On my next visit, again, the staff was amicable and wonderful and I found the interiors to be mesmerizing. The place was quite busy as well. It may be a little expensive but worth it. Highly recommended.
My spouse and I love this restaurant a lot. The staff is very amicable and knowledgeable and makes the best recommendations. The food was very imaginative and inspiring, with a lot of innovation and fusion. It was, however, quite expensive and cost more than my expectations as the atmosphere is not that great. The portions were too small to be filling as well. Do go here for the food at least once.
I recently tried this place and it was quite a lovely experience. The food was pretty good, even though the menu was quite simple. The service was pretty quick and efficient with the the staff being quite warm and friendly. The drinks were pretty good and there was a wide and extensive range in the wine listings. I would love to come back to this place again and would recommend others to try it as well.
The restaurant has a lovely decor , and the setting is tasteful . The food is perfectly cooked , flavourful , and fresh . The desserts were wonderful too , especially the banana cake . A must visit for everyone who wants a classic dining experience , which is not very expensive .
It's a fantastic place. I really loved everything over there. The food they offered was served with good presentation. I ordered charred pork ribs and I think I made the best choice by ordering it and it's highly recommended. Though it's quoted as a starter but it's very filling and tasty. Also, the puddings were tasty and I'm surely gonna visit this place soon.
My special dinner with my wife was made even more special with this place. Although the location is a little bit confusing the interiors were simply lovely. I totally adored the atmosphere at the place too. The menu although offers a great range of dishes and wines , but the prices seem a little steep and expensive. The value for money then seems a little ill balanced with the taste of the dishes not that impeccable.
The portions though may seem a little small but are wholesome none the less.
I will definitely be coming back again.
This place was buzzy and friendly. I never had any non curry experience in Indian dishes but
i loved what I had here. I had cockles and coconut fish soup and it was amazing. My partner had Tandoori stuffed potatoes , according to him those were also superbly delicious.
I would love to go here again.
I was quite apprehensive about eating at this restaurant, but went at the insistence of my boyfriend. I am glad I did, because I found that the atmosphere of this place was amazing. The food was delicious, and it was very lively and full. The only little downside was that I requested for a slight change in a dish due to allergies, but they served the same dish regardless. The service was really nice in the end, especially seeing the huge crowd. It was a nice start to the year though.
The place offers a terrific view with an amazing backdrop. It is the perfect place for group bookings. The place is famous among the British and Indians. Truly an impressive place. The only problem is that when the place gets busy, the staff at the bar becomes extremely rude and impolite.
Deciding on a night to have relatively low priced meal, i landed at this restaurant which struck the idea completely off my mind. We ordered Lamb , Red deer and angus beer.The lamb was incredibly delicious. They have distinct portion sizes. The prices are high but they are definitely worth it!
The food here is a mixture of interesting and unusual dishes on one side and some authentic , traditional curries on one side . The place is well decorated with a contemporary Indian theme . The food was delicious and the service really good . Would love to go back .
I have not been to a more fancy restaurant than this till now. Location of this place is fabulous with quirky interiors. The outside seating area is so pretty especially in the night. Food is appealing and appetizing backed by impeccable service. Would definitely recommend for a different experience than your usual dining!
I recently went to this place and found it a good bet. The dishes that I tried were an absolute delight and the flavours were evenly spread out. The presentation was spectacular and the service was also a smooth one. The restaurant is quite a large one with ample seating spaces. You will definitely enjoy your time if you are planning to visit this restaurant.
I tried this Indian place recently and was quite impressed with it. It was a lovely experience being here. There are a variety of interesting and innovative options on the menu and none of them are disappointing. The food is excellent and perfectly cooked. The staff is quite attentive as well. I would love to come back here with family.
The food here is outstanding! The flavours were amazing and the food so beautifully presented! The service however was a bit off. There was a little chaos about seating customers. Also around 8 people served us, making it very impersonal.
To begin with Cinnamon Kitchen, marvelous decor, the place has a very upbeat vibe and distinctivity. It has an astounding Tandoor Grill cum Bar adding a great deal to the gorgeous ambience. The aura of this place will inject some energy in you. A place which makes for a perfect hangout.
To begin with the ambience, the place is intriguing and entices one with its modern fusion and colorful interiors. Coming to the food, Such a great blend of flavor in their dishes! We ordered Chicken stew with coconut rice a melange of Indo-Thai cuisine, it was mouth watering and such HUGE portion! We had a set menu which was great value for money! A must try!
This restaurant has a lovely ambience with a glass covered roof for those who wanna sit outside topped up with patio heaters to keep you warm. Ample of space between the table makes it a place for business conversations too!
The Indian dishes are unique and you get a sense that its not mass produced. Wonderful food blended with balanced spices.
International staff with efiicient service!
A bit pricey though.
Recommended.
We Love Food, It's All We Eat

This was our first London restaurant visit of the year, a week after our honeymoon in Thailand, so forgive us for being a little rusty. Still jet-lagged we ventured off to Liverpool Street to dine at the renowned Cinnamon Kitchen, sister restaurant to the prestigious Cinnamon Club. Itās tucked away in Devonshire Square, near Liverpool Street so itās definitely a food lovers destination rather than having to rely on any passing trade. Headed up by executive chef Vivek Singh, who is set to open his third venture ā Cinnamon Soho on Kingly Street on 15th March. The head chef will be Ramachandran Raju worked at both Cinnamon Club and Cinnamon Kitchen, the new site will be a cooler and more informal younger sister of the three restaurants.
The restaurant was really busy considering it was early on a Tuesday night, 90% city workers made the place feel quite formal, but it was buzzy and great for people watching. I wish that we had sat by the huge open kitchen with dramatic views of flaming pans. Serving up modern Indian cuisine, the menu is short and so simply worded that we found we had to ask our waiter for a bit more information on some of the dishes.
We started with a cocktail (again!), I had to have the Saffron Martini - Saffron infused bulldog gin, pear puree, orgeat syrup, & apple juice Ā£8, it was a bit odd to have Saffron in a drink at first but it really grew on me. Adeās Cinnamon Bellini ā cinnamon tea, Goldschlager & cinnamon syrup Ā£8 was refreshing but he thought it could have done with a splash more Goldschlager to up the cinnamon flavour.
We were given a little pre-starter of spiced potato fritters with gooseberry chutney, I canāt remember the last time we went anywhere that did this, a nice touch. We also had the selection of three homemade breads Ā£5.00 and three homemade chutneys Ā£3 ā one full of sweet tomatoes, a gorgeous green pea and mint, with a subtle hit of mustard oil and a gentle chilli dip, which was not as hot as we were warned.
Ade had the Charred pork back ribs, hot and sweet glaze Ā£7.00 to start, he stole my choice so instead I opted for the Chargrilled king prawn, organic salmon Ā£10.00. Both were great, and Ade donated one of his ribsā¦ they did what ribs should do ā fell off the bone and melted in the mouth. The chargrilled prawn was so good I wished that there had been two.
Next we were presented with a middle-course with consisted of an espresso cup of Corn soup ā which is prepared with a combination of corn kernels, ginger, onions and milk ā so rich that maybe it should have been served in a shot glass! A Yoghurt kebab ā yoghurt hung overnight , folded with fresh vegetables and spices and seared on a griddle. And also a Grilled Aubergine ā Japanese aubergines marinated and grilled, served with tamarind chutney and roasted peanut, the combination of these ingredients magically gave the impression that we were munching on a mini jacket potatoā¦
By now I was getting a little full but wasnāt too worried as I didnāt expect my main to be very big ā wrong! It was a very good-sized portion. Weād also ordered the amazing Masala mashed potatoes Ā£3.50 and Stir-fried greens with cumin & garlic Ā£3.50. My French black leg chicken, curry leaf quinoa Ā£18.00 stuffed with wild mushrooms and slow cooked onion, surprisingly rich, but the heaviness was reduced by the delicate quinoa and crunchy pak choi.
Ade was in love with his main, Chargrilled rump of K lamb, corn sauce Ā£21.00, he kept saying he didnāt want it to end. He was even worried about trying mine in case it took away any of the flavour of the perfectly grilled and spiced lamb!
Dessert of Passion fruit tart with clotted cream ice-cream and peppered orange biscotti Ā£6.00 was a bit like a cross between a creme brĆ»lĆ©e and a tart, what a combination. The orange biscotti was so crumbly and gorgeous, I could eat a whole plate of them. Adeās Indian banana tarte tatin with thandai ice-cream Ā£6.50 was studded with aniseed in a shouldnāt work but did kind of way. The bananas were sticky and sweet, the pastry crisp but not crumbly and the caramel sauce was a brilliant addition.
The Cinnamon Kitchen is definitely a good choice for a special occasion or a blow-out meal. We loved the subtle Indian flavours and can imagine the atmosphere to be a little more relaxed when the garden terrace is open in the summer.
This must be the finest indian restaurant if not in the whole of London then at least in East London. Indian fine dining, the food was out of this world. The service was extremely attentive and the surroundings are stunning. You may forgive yourself for never having entered Devonshire square, however you are missing out. Hidden opposite the hustle and bustle of Liverpool Street station this getaway for city types provides a beautiful covered and heated courtyard, a wonderful pub and this gem of an indian. Also situated here is Mark Hix's latest bar Hixter.
Once you have eaten here you will look at all Brick Lane curry houses with disdain. The meat is the most tender yet packed full of flavour often lightly charred on the outside. Options of sitting both inside and out, the perk of being inside is that you get watch the great chef at work. The prices are fairly high but worth every penny, can't recommend this enough.

I donāt think Iāve been to a swankier looking restaurant than Cinnamon Kitchen in Liverpool Street. Itās location is jaw dropping; aptly hidden away in a corner of a former warehouse of the East India Company which covers Devonshire Square, this covered outside space is stunning, especially at night. Shops, restaurants, bars, water features, Art Deco style benches and even a foosball table can be found lining this beautifully lit up square.
This all means that about people can linger here late into the night because it is covered and always drier and warmer than the outside.
Moving to the stylish interior of the restaurant, the walls in this dining space are lined with soft pewter hues with shimmering mother-of-pearl patterns across them, exuding a classy yet quirky atmosphere. A tandoori-grill bar fills the far end of the restaurant and is visible by all diners who can see the chefs prepare their choices to order.
There is also a bar called Ainse attached onto the restaurant which is just as well designed, with square sofa booths, cosy tables by the windows and stool by the bar making it suitable for all type of guests.
In all, a beautifully edgy restaurant and location.
Would I Want Seconds?Ā
Bumping into celebrity Chef and CEO of the Cinnamon franchise Vivek Singh made my visit to Cinnamon Kitchen extra specially and admittedly did result in some girly hysteria. However the menu also elicited a similarly pleased response as although this is a Indian restaurant the dishes here are not conventional curries, instead each course offers clever variations.
We opted for the Set Menu from which for my starter I opted for theCharred Fruits with Tamarind Glaze and Passion Fruit Raita; this is a speciality of the Cinnamon Franchise and consists of tangy chat style masala coated across apples, pears, starfruit and pineapple, providing a delectable combination of sugar and spice for the first course.
For main course I ordered Old Delhi Style Free Range Chicken Curry with Pilau Rice which was just as delectable and tender as the starters, and again it was the sauce used in the dish that was the stand out feature. Other more inventive options available on the Set Menu for the main course included Roasted Bottle Gourd and Spice Crusted Hake which looked just as appetising.
My favourite course was dessert, for which I ordered Milk Chocolate and Walnut Pudding with Iced Double Cream. This dessert seemed to be the same size as the main course due to the richness and the density of the pudding, which when combined with the double cream ice cream, was beyond delicious.
We also had a selection of breads and chutneys before the main meal which certainly wet our appetite. Additionally all staff were friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu, offering advice and explaining dishes when asked, which is a rarity in most restaurants.
Could I Afford Seconds?
We ordered from Cinnamon Kitchenās extremely well priced pre-theatre Set Menu which included three courses and a cocktail all for Ā£21. This menu is available on weekdays before 6.30pm and is certainly worth the price.
Prices on the A La Carte Menu are slightly more expensive than standard, as expected. Appetisers range from around Ā£7 to Ā£9 and main courses have an even wider range from Ā£14 for a vegetarian dish to Ā£32 for the Tandoori Spiced Red Deer. Prices for desserts are slightly more affordable at on average Ā£6.
If the prices on the A La Carte Menu seem too pricey than the Cinnamon Restaurants always have special menus on offer which are more reasonable, including tasting menus, set menus and lunch menus and provide the perfect excuse to dine here for much less.
Overall:
Finally Iāve visited all three of the Cinnamon Restaurants and this is the one I was most impressed with. What blew me away was the location and the dĆ©cor which makes this restaurant and bar simply stunning. The food lived up to the high Cinnamon standards and seeing Vivek Singh in the flesh all resulted in a rather special night out.
Worth the price, the menu has a whole twist to the variety extravaganza. Especially enjoyed the drinks! Thumbs up to the Chef !
I was a bit disappointed by the experience. The food was nice but overpriced and it didn't have the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere I love about traditional Indian restaurants. Also, the desserts were way too sweet. The service was good and the place was nice though.
A new-wave indian restaurant in the city of London. The food is excellent, particular Kudos to the Bread selection which is marvellous and original. The food is of high calibre, as to be expected from this type of establishment, however, The pieces de resistance are the cocktails. A modern, Indian take by the mixologist is magnificent and some of the subtle spice hints in cliassic drinks are a joy. I will certainly be returning, maybe just for drinks next time!
loved it. their set menu had a good choice of vegetables and indian bread options to choose from and the portions where bif enough to fill ur tummy. they have a wide range of wines too. overall a nice place to enjoy indian food and plus loved the mild bollywood music playing in the background.
Excellent for private parties and grill tasting menu. Brilliant chef and very personable too.
Highly reccomend to visit their adjoining Cocktail bar Anise famous for it's quirky and trendy cocktails. The bar food is perfect if you want a variety of platter at affordable prices.
Try to visit after 9pm or so and enjoy the best service and great prix fix menu at just Ā£19 for 2 courses and a cocktail!
How many of us have ever wanted a seat with by the kitchen? Possibly none but have a look at the private dining gallery and you would be surprised to know that it boasts of an uninterrupted view of the kitchen. We had happened to be here on a private dinner and I must say I havenāt seen better dinning areas than this. I was actually fascinated by the cooking voyeurism!
Either for personal or professional dinners, this place is a culinary delight. We were served of a set menu as you could get the menu customised for your party. The food is one of the best Indian I have had in London. The wine collection is good and the service is spotless. If you are looking for client dinners or expense account dinners, this place is surely worth a try and in my view only Amaya rates better. If budget permits, order Jeroboam wine bottles - it can get your party in āhigh spiritsā pretty quickly.
Another place I frequent afterwork for food and drinks. They serve excellent Indian food, starters being my favourite. I would recommend paneer tikka and Daal. service is very good and so is the presentation of food.
It also has a separate drinks lounge and and outdoor standing ( covered) area for drinks.Ā
Perfect setting to wind down on a Friday evening!!Ā
Booking in advance is recommended as is place get really busy after 6 pm.
Hidden gem spotted by happenstance. Loved being here and enjoyed the best indian food they offered. My favourite were galouti lamb kebabs, the lamb sliders, sweet corn soup was simply out of the world. Moreover I celebrated an occassion which was a surprise and the team really went an extra mile to make it special. Will surely go back again.Check out their menu here http://www.cinnamon-kitchen.com/Indian-Food
In one word- It is not only top but also the best Indian restaurant in London
We came for the 15th anniversary event and the food was phenomenal.
The atmosphere felt like home - warm service with lots of conversations and laughter.
Thank you for creating this event - was so happy to be a part!
Went on a Sunday, atmosphere was beautiful and peaceful. And the food honestly was up to highest of standards (personally) flavour and spice level was perfect.
Our waiter Limon, was also very helpful explaining the menu.
Will definitely go back, thank you šš¼

Dear Cinnamon Kitchen Team,
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional experience we had at your restaurant during the St. Patrick's School Alumni get-together on October 1st, 2023.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and enthusiasm. The welcome drinks set the perfect tone for the afternoon, and it was evident that your staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction throughout the event.
I must commend the outstanding service provided by your very friendly staff. They were not only attentive but also genuinely accommodating, making each one of us feel special. A special mention goes to Alok, whose assistance in setting up the AV equipment in the Anise Bar was invaluable and greatly appreciated.
The food was nothing short of exquisite. The salt-baked beetroot hummus was a delightful surprise, and the char-grilled lamb fillet left our taste buds dancing with delight. The Beef Chukka was another highlight, and the Malai kulfi provided the perfect sweet ending to our meal.
Additionally, I'd like to extend my gratitude to the very kind staff member, Limon. His willingness to take a group picture for us was a thoughtful touch that added to our overall enjoyment of the evening.
In summary, our evening at Cinnamon Kitchen was a memorable one, filled with fantastic food, warm hospitality, and exceptional service. You and your team truly made our St. Patrick's Alumni get-together a resounding success.
Thank you once again for your outstanding efforts in ensuring our evening was nothing short of extraordinary. We look forward to returning to Cinnamon Kitchen for many more memorable experiences in the future.
Warm regards,
Sudhasil
We came here for a special occasion. First impressions were excellent - we were greeted by Angela who showed us to our table. The waiting staff were excellent, and shared recommendations. We went with the 9 course dinner. Delicious - plates were clean! The Kulfi was š
Will be coming here again! Recommended!
One of the best Indian restaurants in London. Venison, lamb chops, seabream,... all well cooked. Service is attentive and fast. Highly recommended.
I recently visited the restaurant with my sister for her birthday and had a fabulous lunch on the terrace. We were very impressed with the service and quality of the food. We had the Thrill of the Grill menu (vegetarian version) and all the dishes were amazing. Each of the flavours were quite unique and we loved Dahi balla chaat, Samosa Smash, grilled cauliflower and aubergine but our favourites were Kadhi pithod saag and of course the dessert. The amount of food was too much for us as the portions were bigger than we expected. To top it up they also came with a chocolate birthday surprise. The service excellent and a special shout to the team especially Raj, Mukesh and Emu,
Had a lovely lunch in the sun here today. We were served by Alok who took great care of us, gave us recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. The live music was also amazing. Would recommend and will definitely be back!
Delectable! 9/10!
A friend and I went for a leisurely 3-course meal in May. We sat outdoors. Since we had prepaid, I was at first unhappy with the menu we saw. It was not the same one I had confirmed before paying. Angela sorted the issue and all was fine afterwards. I do wish that did not have to happen and I wonder why it did; it was the only snag.
Every single meal was a hit for us both. Peter offered us naan on the house and it was heavenly. My friend didn't like a flavor in the kulfi (honey maybe?), so I finished it and we shared my pistachio soufflƩ.
Staff were very friendly. As we were traveling, they helped stow away our luggage and tagged it on arrival. The bathroom was clean and I appreciated the disinfectant dispenser for wiping the seat. I always love that.
Shout out to Angela, Peter, Raj and Fatou for great service. Chef Vivek created impressive pairings!
Went for dinner on a week day, highly recommend making a reservation. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, great service.
The food was delicious. We are vegetarians, was tempted to order the tasting menu but we just weren't that hungry. We ordered the Dahi-wada, paneer butter masala, Samosa chat the bread basket as well as the Malai Kulfi also very delicious, If we go next time though, I'd love to try the tasting whole menu as well!
Thanks Cinnamon especially Angelaa š»for such a memorable night, looking forward to visiting the next time.
I visited on a Saturday afternoon with a group. The restaurant was pretty empty, which suited our group well. The menu had enough to please a crowd and everything that arrived was well enjoyed.
