Wow!! Stumbled across this place by accident when looking for a vegan friendly eatery near Westminster. It was a delight! The food was delicious and the service was brilliant. We had the jazz brunch and the vegan brunch set menus. The flavours and presentation were outstanding. I highly recommend!

I am writing to express my utter disappointment with the experience my partner and I had at your restaurant on Valentine's Day. We arrived expecting a pleasant evening, but unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory. We opted for the Valentine's Day menu, which, while not particularly extravagant, should have provided us with a pleasant dining experience. However, after paying a total of £250, which did not included a bottle of wine, we were surprised to find that there was no dessert included in the meal aswell. The bigger issue, however, was the service. Despite numerous requests for our food, we waited for over an hour without any updates or urgency from the staff. It was disheartening to see employees laughing and socializing while we were left waiting. By the time the dessert should have arrived, 50 minutes had passed, and we had already decided to leave at 11:00 pm without it. It was truly unacceptable to pay such a significant amount of money without receiving the full service, especially on an evening that was meant to be special. Following the incident, I was contacted by Manager Fahid, who offered a 50% discount for our next visit. This response is deeply unsatisfactory. Rather than offering a future discount, I believe a refund is the appropriate course of action, given the poor service, delays, and failure to provide the agreed-upon meal. I am therefore requesting a 50% refund of the £250 we paid for this disappointing experience. I trust you will address this matter promptly and look forward to your resolution.

Great food and service. Make sure you are sitting in the main library room though. Their overflow room by the entrance is a very sad experience by comparison. Also I have to urge your to boycot their wine list because of the ridiculously high mark up they have averaging close to 5x retail price. Shameful…

My wife and I were looking for a nice Indian Restaurant in London. Our Viking Cruise representative at Conrad Hotel recommended us The Cinnamon Club. What a wonderful place to enjoy legit Indian food! We really are very please with the selection of our dishes. The quality of food as well as the service was outstanding! We will visit the Cinnamon Club again in the near future!

Not the best experience. Our booking was lost (though we called twice that same day). Main was overcooked, dessert was poor (icey sorbet) and Im pretty sure i was served my cold coffee again after it was reheated. Drinks were late to the table and all in all the staff wasnt very attentive. Disappointed all round for the price.

This restaurant has a beautiful ambience and in isolation would be worth a visit, just off Westminster and the Houses of Parliament. However, it seems to have lost its identity along the way, and having been a fine dining, excellent quality establishment now seems to be uncertain of its target market. Cuisine The menu has a wide array of excellent dishes which should cater for almost all tastes. Whilst the description of each dish is more than enticing, the flavours are somewhat lacking or bland, and the quality of the cuisine seems to be less good than in the past. Almost stodgy. We chose the prawns as the main course dish and in both cases they were overcooked and lacking in texture and flavour. The team did mention that the preparation of the dish had been changed, but it seemed to us that this was not just about preparation but also about the provenance of the food itself. Service We had made the booking through a travel agent and requested a corner table, but the lady chose to ignore the request and instead placed us in the middle of the restaurant. Easier for the serving teams, but absolutely lacking in class or clever service mindset. During the entire period of our visit the restaurant barely filled up, and it would have been so much more clever to have placed the guests around the various banquettes to provide a more powerful ambience and give customers a premium experience. A missed opportunity by the lady on the front desk, and a missed opportunity by management on the training. However, the team were good, attentive, and the food was served at a comfortable pace. Possibly too quick perhaps meaning the food was perhaps pre-prepared? We had visited The Cinnamon Club in the past when the quality of the food was so much better, and perhaps it is uncertain which segment of the market it is targeting. This is a pity as it possibly loses out to all parties. Sadly, we will not visit again.

I took my wife here for Valentine’s Day, and whilst the food was fantastic, the atmosphere was terrible. To pack in as many diners as possible, they opened up a side room that they never use, which was bizarrely cold; many other diners were complaining about it. The service was slow, 15+ tables were all packed in tight together in order for them to accommodate as many people as possible. It was very awkward, and many of the couples around us who we ended up speaking to were laughing at how poor the experience was. A real shame because the main room looked fantastic online, but we didn’t see it - feels like we were missold. End of the day, greediness led to a really poor customer experience. Terrible value for £150 per head.

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.

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.

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.

I have only been here once for a work meal while visiting London for external meetings. This restaurant was such an unreal experience, the food was absolutely amazing with so many authentic and classic options, lots of different drinks options too and if you’re lucky… famous celebrities like the brilliant Sir Tom Jones who was such a gentleman.

Delicious food. This is one of my favorite indian fine dining places in London. If you love indian food you must try their 10 course tasting menu, combining it with wine pairing it’s another level!

I had an unforgettable dining experience at The Cinnamon Club in London, hosted in their elegant private room. The evening was made even more special by the presence of founder Vivek Singh and his incredible team, who provided exceptional service throughout. 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.

We dined at the Cinnamon Club this afternoon and opted for the 3 course Jazz Lunch Menu. From the minute we stepped in every staff member was attentive, and the service was high quality start to finish. 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. To add to that the ambience and style of the venue has its own special weighting.

Very impressive location. The staff was super friendly ! Unfortunately the food wasn’t that good. It was ok but the flavors weren’t so well matched and it tasted a bit boring. Unfortunately not worth the high price although the location was beautiful !

Tuvimos una experiencia realmente maravillosa en el evento Indo Caribbean con Andi Oliver y Chef Avi. Fue increíble, el concepto, la fusión deliciosa y elegante de la cocina y el ambiente efervescente. Andi es una leyenda y su calidez radió mientras se mezclaba con todos nosotros como invitados. Yo y algunos otros invitados estábamos celebrando nuestros cumpleaños. Esto fue reconocido con una vela en nuestro postre. Era nuestra primera vez en este restaurante. Sin duda volveremos pronto.
