We dined at the Cinnamon Club for a 16-person business dinner. Sarthak was endlessly helpful with organising our reservation, and Ash and his team provided excellent service on the night. We had a three course set menu, and the prices were very fair. The food was delicious, everything went really smoothly, and the setting was fantastic. Definitely recommend for business dinners or groups of this size, as nothing felt like trouble. Thank you!

Service: We had booked in advance on OpenTable for a table at 7:30, saying that we are ordering the Tasting menu. We arrived early at 7:10, they were very accommodating and sat us at the bar while they set up our table, we got sat down around 7:20. And this is when things started to go downhill. They asked us to confirm that we are having the tasting menu, and then just forgot about us. The canapé arrived around 25 minutes after we were sat down. Each course after that was about the same, it takes them 10+ minutes to take away our plates after we were finished with them. It really just feels like we were forgotten about. When they took away the plates for the starter course, it was already 9:10 PM. We told them that the wait time between the dishes were a bit too long before the main courses, and they were able to serve the next course within two minutes. The servers did not scrape the crumbs from our table even though they did it for every table around. When they “explained” the dishes as they serve it to us, they just repeated the name of the dish and left. Overall: it felt like a night of waiting Food (tasting menu): The food was nice, but a lot of the proteins are overcooked (medium-well to well-done), I think this is because they were all cooked in the tandoor oven, which gave it a wonderful flavour (but they were overcooked). The dessert taste like it was just taken out of the freezer, as it was nearly rock solid in the middle. The naan was burnt, but they promptly changed it for us after notifying them. The tiger prawn and seafood makhani sauce was lovely; the prawn was nicely cooked, and the sauce reminds you of a seafood bisque. The portion size wasn’t too big as well, we didn’t leave full (probably cuz the only carbs from the tasting menu was the small dollop of mash) The à la carte menu items look really tasty tho Overall: the food was tasty, but did not feel like it was worth the 95 per person price tag.

We called in here on the off chance we could get a table after a concert in a local hall, and we could! Very pleased they were able to find a table for us: the meal was fantastic. The Tasting Menu option was not initially given to us, but was available on request. We opted for the Tasting Menu: eight courses of beautifully presented food with incredible flavours. The waiting team were brilliant, friendly but not overbearing, and very happy to help recommend food and wine. Overall, a superb dining experience.

A “fancy” Indian in the city. Menu was good, portion sizes medium, don’t expect the usual portion size for Indian. I enjoyed the food - everything that we ordered was good. Drinks menu also good. It was quite busy so service felt a little slow when clearing tables, or taking drinks order. At the price paid I would expect more attentive service. It’s got a nice atmosphere in the library, nice place for food. Close to all the Westminster sites.

I visited Cinnamon Club in Westminster for an office Christmas lunch in early December. Although they didn’t offer a festive menu at the time, their Indian-inspired menu had an interesting selection of starters, main dishes and desserts. We had the option to choose individual dishes or opt for a three-course set menu, which turned out to be the better value. As a pleasant surprise, we were served a complimentary small finger starter to begin the meal. For my starter, I chose the fish cake, which was flavorful and well-prepared. My main course was the jackfruit stew. While it was a creative dish and generally enjoyable, I found the coconut flavor a bit overpowering for my taste. Nonetheless, the overall quality of the food was great, and everything was served promptly. The ambiance of Cinnamon Club is a comfortable, speakeasy-style setting that adds a unique charm to the dining experience. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Pricing felt reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and service. I had a good experience overall and would return to explore other items on their menu. If you’re looking for a place that serves Indian cuisine with a sophisticated twist, Cinnamon Club is worth a visit.

Went for the Christmas menu @ £125 each. Thought the food was pretty disappointing, some interesting combos that unfortunately just didn't seem to gel. Food was not always hot.

Service was okay but felt staff could've been more attentive and warmer.

Great Food in a brilliant venue. We had the festive menu - which had partridge and lamb chops as highlights and a brilliant tiger prawn dish aswell. Somebody at my table got the wine pairing which I thought was nice - however I am no connoisseur! Generally the food was fantastic with the exact right level of spice and fantastic flavours overall - the courses were all delicious and the meats were all cooked perfectly - i.e super juicy and fresh. The cocktail at the bar underneath the main hall was great and they delivered me a cake and a card to celebrate my 18th! Service was fantastic of course, as to be expected.

We booked the Cinnamon Club to celebrate a special event on Sunday 22 December. My husband made a special visit there a week or so before the event to check it and spoke to the manager. He explained we would be coming after a concert and was assured that the timing was fine. On the night, only a few hours before we were due to get there the restaurant rang and cancelled the booking, saying they were closing early. It was then too late to find anywhere else and our evening was ruined. This is very poor unprofessional conduct and I would certainly not risk booking here again.

Visited the venue a few years ago and thought I’d do another visit but what a big mistake! Arrived early and had a cocktail (mmm which was very good) however the server wasn’t interested at all - it felt like we were doing him a favor. Bar nuts, no tissues - drinks not coasters. It all felt a little amateur brick lane ish. Moving to the dining room seated at a wobbly table. Stood up to get our servers attention (a common theme throughout the meal) Complementary bites lovely but had to call the server to explain it to us. Our dining room server throughout the meal treated us with quite a lot of contempt. Refused to repeat orders and made the meal difficult. At the moment of writing we are waiting for our starters and I’d better end this review now before I go into more details.

For most of my life, I have had an attraction to India and Indian food in all its forms. Whilst I can equally enjoy the cuisine of our local Indian and the trendy Indian “fusion” restaurants, my heart lies with the food from the Country of India itself. Whilst all our familiar high street restaurants produce some wonderful cuisine, many of them tend to emanate from Bangladesh and Pakistan. In my experience, the minority come from India itself. It is a big country with and wide cultural and culinary experience and yet, there is something about this country that makes their food different to their neighbours and our familiar high street experiences. The Cinnamon kitchen seems to encapsulate all things Indian and I was mightily impressed with the dishes on offer in their menu. There are elements of fusion in the menu but tradition is at the heart of the food and it is delicious. All the familiar spices can be discerned even though they are presented in innovative ways and combinations. The setting is a little bizarre being an old library and your bill comes in a book! It works though, and with the friendly and helpful staff, it all adds up to a really nice experience. It comes at a price though and it is expensive at every level. If I have a minor issue, it was that the service was not attentive enough. The food came out of the kitchen quick enough, so no complaints there, but we were left alone for long periods when we needed some service. In fact, for long periods there were no servers in the restaurant at all that I could see. Notwithstanding, these were not matters that spoiled my experience and I enjoyed my visit very much indeed.

Tasty food but most of it was lukewarm. If you only offer a few side dishes then you need to make sure they are available always, having items unavailable on such a small menu isn’t acceptable. The service was not up to the standard of such an establishment either. We won’t be rushing back that’s for sure.

The Cinnamon Club is a true gem in London’s dining scene, offering an exceptional culinary experience that blends Indian flavors with fine dining finesse. Our recent visit was nothing short of outstanding, and it has solidified its place as a regular family favorite. The setting is elegant yet welcoming, with its unique location in a former library adding an extra touch of charm. The menu is thoughtfully curated, showcasing a range of innovative dishes that stay true to their Indian roots while incorporating modern techniques. A special mention goes to Shakel, our waiter for the evening, who truly elevated our experience. His attentive service, warm demeanor, and in-depth knowledge of the menu made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the meal. He went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, from recommending dishes to accommodating our preferences seamlessly. The food itself was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was a delightful explosion of flavors, beautifully presented and perfectly balanced. The combination of impeccable service and exceptional cuisine makes The Cinnamon Club a must-visit destination. Thank you, Shakel, and the entire team, for creating a dining experience we look forward to sharing again and again. Highly recommended!

The Cinnamon Club: A Love Letter to an Institution Walking into The Cinnamon Club after a decade-long hiatus felt like reconnecting with an old friend who has only grown wiser and more refined over the years. Nestled in the dignified grandeur of the former Westminster Library, this iconic institution remains a beacon of sophistication and innovation in Indian cuisine—a testament to the vision of Iqbal Wahhab and the culinary brilliance of Vivek Singh. It is impossible to overstate the role Iqbal played in shaping The Cinnamon Club. Without his bold vision, there would be no Cinnamon Club to speak of, and perhaps no movement to elevate Indian cuisine to the heights of fine dining. When it first opened its doors in 2001, it was a revolutionary concept: an Indian restaurant that fused culinary excellence with the elegance of a library steeped in history. Iqbal’s entrepreneurial spirit and fearless ambition provided the foundation for what would become a landmark institution, paving the way for Indian food to claim its rightful place among the world’s great cuisines. Iqbal later went on to innovate elsewhere, most notably with the creation of Roast in Borough Market, but his original vision laid the groundwork for The Cinnamon Club’s success. Meanwhile, Vivek Singh, who has remained at the helm, has ensured that the restaurant continues to thrive, evolve, and inspire. Vivek has taken Iqbal’s dream and turned it into a lasting legacy. With his unparalleled skill and dedication, Vivek has transformed the idea of “curry,” elevating it to a culinary art form. His menus are masterpieces, marrying tradition with creativity in ways that continue to surprise and delight. The location itself is part of its magic. The lofty ceilings, oak-paneled walls, and rows of leather-bound books create an atmosphere of hushed reverence—a perfect marriage of history and modernity. Dining here feels like stepping into a parallel world where time slows down, and every bite is an invitation to reflect on the alchemy of flavor and tradition. And then there’s the service—a masterpiece in its own right. The staff at The Cinnamon Club seem to embody the same philosophy as the cuisine: warm, deeply knowledgeable, and effortlessly refined. There’s a love for their craft that shines in every interaction, from the thoughtful wine pairings to the way they describe each dish with reverence and precision. They are hosts in the truest sense of the word, and their care turns every meal into a celebration of hospitality. Returning after a decade, I feared time might have dulled its edge or that my memory had romanticized the experience. But I was wrong. The Cinnamon Club remains as vital and vibrant as ever, a cultural touchstone in a city that moves relentlessly forward. It is not just a restaurant; it is a chronicle of how Indian cuisine has been embraced and reimagined in the heart of London. Under Vivek Singh’s enduring leadership, The Cinnamon Club continues to inspire not just diners but also chefs and restaurateurs who seek to follow its pioneering spirit. It is more than a meal—it’s a reminder of what happens when tradition and innovation meet with boundless ambition. London’s culinary capital owes much to this beloved institution, and so do I.

The standout dish for me was the Bengali mustard and rice pop salmon ceviche — a beautiful blend of authentic, nostalgic flavors that instantly brought back memories of my grandmother’s kitchen in Bangladesh. The complexity and depth of the dishes were remarkable, each bite bursting with layers of spices and tradition. Truly a celebration of modern Indian cuisine with soulful, familiar notes.

Do not bother if you want to have good Indian food. Very nice location and great interior atmosphere. Aubergine starter (Spiced aubergine steak, pumpkin chutney, masala peanut and moutabal) is so overcooked and parchef. Knife couldn't get through skin and took forever to chew Lamb main course (Clove smoked saddle of Romney Marsh lamb, corn and yoghurt sauce, keema saag) was chewy. Sauce is salty Is this cooked by a chef? A novice can do a better job.

Definitely gone downhill since the last visit. weighting staff were great, but food bland. Was very rushed on a Saturday evening. Main course came out 37mins after sitting down at the table. It first came out while eating the starters. It needs a bit of a refurb as the walls and lights need a clean and touch-up. Empty Bar at 7pm and still had to go and find the bar tender to service us after waiting an age to be served. Not surprised it no longer has a Michelin star. That seems light years away.

The portion sizes were good and the £45 per head menu had plenty of options and each packed a punch with their flavours. Special thanks for our server Akaba who explained each of the dishes with good knowledge, and took the time to talk about the history of the restaurant. Deffo be back again.

A shame to see what was once a great dining experience deteriorated. The food remains excellent, a unique presentation of Indian dishes but there have been changes which are very disappointing. We were very rushed throughout our meal, for example while our starters were being cleared the waiter was already at our table with our main courses. No time to relax and digest the first course. The wine pricing is now outrageous, £120 for a mediocre red is not acceptable. Finally the lavatory was dirty and had not be cleaned for some time. We will not be returning.

Great food in a wonderful setting. Akaba our host was very attentive and helpful. It's also helpful that they haveva few dishes with a European influence, making it more accessible if your going out as a group with different tastes and preferences.

Excellent food but service far too rushed. No time given to enjoy the meal. It did not used to be like that, very dissapointing.

One of the nicest restaurants I've ever eaten in. Very stylish what they did with the old Westminster Library! The bar in the basement was also very nicely decorated. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty and the portions were larger than I expected and the price was really reasonable. A great experience!

Service staff were lovely. They sent an extra piece of cake for my guest who had her birthday that day. Tasting menu was fun and just the right size per portion.

We came here on a recommendation. The restaurant is in the Westminster area. The eating area is surrounded by old bookshelves. We found the food to be excellent, tasteful and interesting. Staff were attentive. (One small note is be careful when using the facilities downstairs, as the floors were slippery.)

It’s a lovely space, and our waitress was kind and attentive (unlike the sommelier, who looked like she’d rather be anywhere else on earth). But the food was perfunctory - the quality has dropped sadly over time (it used to be genuinely innovative) - and the ‘wine pairing’ was an arbitrary selection from the wines-by-the-glass list, selected for price, not connection with the food. The ‘ambience’ is truly appalling: if you want to sit next to tables of obnoxious rich people getting drunk loudly and consciously intruding on their neighbours, this is the place for you. It’s a real pity, because if you wind back seven or eight years it was all very different. Now the place just wants your money. Avoid.

The food is amazing. A real delve into Indian cuisine. If you don't expect the usual, you will find it amazing. Thank you x

We had first class cocktails in the bar downstairs before dinner followed by the fabulous tasting menu. Every course was delicious. We were 7 - 2 had the vegetarian tasting menu and everyone was very satisfied. A really good evening

Pushy service, made us order lots more than we wanted to, but they kind of insisted. Also the staff were really rude. The order was missing items and the we were made to pay for them.

Set in a beautiful old library in the heart of Westminster, this restaurant will not disappoint. The spices are just right allowing you to taste the freshness of every bite. Beautifully presented too.

This was my mom's first dive into Indian food and it did not disappoint. Everything was amazing. The restaurant itself is immaculate. I started with the lively mocktail a nice spiced chai drink. The koorgi pork belly was so tender it melted in my mouth and was bursting with flavor. The flexi saag base with chicken thighs was fantastic. Some of the juciest chicken I've had. If you're in London you have to try this spot.

I had an incredible dining experience at The Cinnamon Club! The fusion of flavors in every dish was remarkable, and the attention to detail in both presentation and taste truly set this restaurant apart. The ambiance is elegant yet warm, making it a perfect spot for both special occasions and casual meals. A special thank you to our gracious host, Akaba, for making us feel so welcome and ensuring that everything was perfect throughout the evening. The service was top-notch, and we can’t wait to return! Highly recommended if you are in London.

A bit average for prices charged. Booked to have a drink in the downstairs bar, but on arrival, told it was reserved for a party so we were seated in the sidebar which basically looks like a library and has no vibe at all. The service and cocktails were excellent. The starters came and they were merely luke warm so we requested for food to be hot for the main course. The meat Eaters were happier with their courses, but the vegetarian and seafood food was fairly blande. Service was attentive. It is fairly peaceful, thankfully no loud music, but later in the evening as it got fuller, it got louder. On the way out we noted only one or two Asian faces - definitely a place more for the western palate. Overall, all agreed it was a bit average and not really worth the price premium when for a similar price you can go to Jamavar or Amaya which are sensational in terms of food, ambience, and service.

The best Indian food of my life, and I’ve eaten in many establishments both fine dining and casual. Everything about Chutney Mary is tops, cuisine, service, atmosphere - we visit every time we are in London.

Excellent food, shame service was very poor.Waiter did not engage at all.No welcome, no "how was the food" or any conversation at all.Definately not full of the joys of spring
