Cinnamon Kitchen in City of London, Westminster

Great place to meet and eat, good food and good service, special mention to Ash, thanks. Aĺ

Relatively quite night (thurs before bank hols) wandered past have had a previous reccomendation - food was great and Ash was fantastic, personable and accomodating- will be back

Ash was very attentive and food was terrific

Visited recently for the BBQ Brunch. Lots of tasty food, great flavouring and totally enjoyable. Excellent service and Raj in particular made every effort to look after us and created a great impression-thank you.

I recently dined at Cinnamon, and while the food was okay, I have to say that the overall experience was disappointing. The standout issue was the spiciness of the dishes - they were extremely hot, to the point where it was difficult to enjoy the flavors. I don't actually mind heat, but this was way too over the top. To make matters worse, when my dining companion and I asked the staff to turn down the music volume, they seemed to find our request amusing and were quite disrespectful in their response. It made for an uncomfortable atmosphere and left a bad taste in our mouths. A mysterious service charge was added to our receipt and this was not mentioned to us, when requesting to remove it we were asked if the service we received warranted removing it… how is that something your staff can even question? On the positive side, the dessert we ordered was nice. It was a sweet note to end the meal on and provided some much-needed relief from the spice. However, given the overall experience, I'm not sure I would recommend Cinnamon to others. Edit: So the restaurant decided to reply to me 2 years later to talk about why I made the edit and not the service I received on the day. Another prime example to show you why they don’t really care about the service provided and just the image of the restaurant.

Left 2 messages to book table. Still waiting. Will go elsewhere

Such a lovely experience to mark a special birthday and anniversary. The food was delicious- really recommend the 3 course voucher offer. The lamb cutlets and ox tail were a highlight with the meat full of flavour and beautifully cooked. Ash was lovely and provided great service which added to the experience!! A definite recommend!

Food was lovely with amazing flavours. Service was excellent, Ash was friendly and really attentive. All in all a lovely experience for our anniversary dinner

We visited this restaurant for lunch and were greeted by friendly staff . Food was freshly made and very well presented. The restaurant is well maintained and provides excellent customer service

There isn’t anything special about this Resturant. We were 7-8 friends who ordered different food and I tried quite a few dishes. But something as common as ‘Biryani’ was very ordinary. I have had much better Biryani and food in some other Indian restaurants who are not this expensive.

MASSIVE THANK YOU TO ASH FOR MAKING MY DAY!! 💗 I was looking for somewhere to have a big tasty lunch but chilled enough where I could do some work and this is the perfect place! She recommended the most amazing mains and dessert and the chef cooked the lamb to perfection. I found sitting outside was a perfect casual dining space! Incredibly food, incredible service, I will certainly coming back!! I had the Lamb main, corn salad, kulfi dessert, beetroot juice and masala chai! 😍 Once again thank you to Ash for making my time here amazing! Wonderful service is hard to come by but every person I’ve spoken to here has been absolutely lovely and welcoming! ⭐️🌟

Ash was amazing serving us, she made the best experience so much more wonderful, especially with her knowledge of the dishes! Shes the best!

Casual meal with rich-flavoured meal

Absolutely excellent service from Ash, and a fantastic meal on Friday. Thank you

Had a lovely experience, food looked amazing and tasted good. They are pet friendly so we were able to bring our doggo along and have a nice family lunch! Would recommend

Great food and overall ambience and experience. We got outstanding service from Aishwarya as usual.

Excellent service received by Sinead on the front desk. She has been very accommodating with our booking.

Enjoyed a seven-course taster menu with my partner, all the food was excellent, amongst the best Indian food we have experienced - head and shoulders above the usual Indian restaurant offerings in the UK. Staff were very attentive and friendly had a relaxing un-rushed afternoon (albeit the restaurant was quite being a Monday). There is a good wine list and drinks menu, though didn’t have the chance to sample too many! Can’t wait to come back, would like to sit outside on a summers day.

Ash looked after us all so well. We had a wonderful lunch and the service was amazing.

Great atmosphere and a nice place overall. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, with a good variety of dishes to choose from. The service was attentive, and the overall experience was enjoyable. A great spot for Indian cuisine in a nice setting!

Enjoyed a 7 course taster menu , highly recommend this taster menu. Good food very tasty and enjoyable. Staff very attentive and friendly. Well looked after by Peter.

Very nice food and friendly staff. I recommend it, just a bit overpriced unfortunately…

We have been to this restaurant before and will continue to go back. The staff are very friendly and attentive, the restaurant has great decor, there is seating outside, We had a three course meal here this time, we have had the tasting menu here as well. The food is so good, so tasty, so hot and fresh, I can’t fault any of the food and enjoyed every course. The staff are so helpful, we will definitely be going back.

The food, service and atmosphere everything was great. There was a holi celebration going on it was a really nice. We enjoyed the dessert Rasmalai cake which was an amazing dessert. Next time you need an Indian cuisine right in the city. This is the place to be.

Excellent food in central London. Thankyou Ash for the wonderful hospitality

Delicious food, great and clearly labelled vegan options, lovely cosy atmosphere and excellent service. Ash was our server and was especially welcoming and polite. Fully recommend!

Went for a team dinner, we got a private space that was nice. Food was delicious and everyone enjoyed. Not too spicy or not too bland. The service was very slow towards the end as we had to remind the staff a couple of times, but otherwise extremely good. Pricey compared to some of the other central london restaurants i have been to

Treated to a voucher to have as a celebration this 7 taster menu course with bubbles. We booked the City branch in Devonshire Square which is right opposite Liverpool street station. Arrived to a buzz of city workers dining absolutely full and the restaurant was full with diners chatting and laughing. Nicer to experience than a quiet table of 2. There were plates of every kind of dish coming from the kitchen. We were seated and introduced to our waiter for the evening. ‘Peter’ he immediately delivered our bubbles and explained the dishes would come out for each course and what they comprised of meat or vegetarian and asked if we had any allergies or food preferences. We are not fussy although powerful heat spice is not something we can tolerate. The dishes were small yet pleasant of all kinds of tastes and textures from a vegetarian samosa to a prawn dish. Then to a lamb and pork to a venison and a inbetween palate cleanser. Lastly the dessert of a small sponge dished with an infusion of 5 different milks and topped with pistachio crumbs absolutely delicious. Will definately visit again and thank you to Peter as his knowledge telling us of the dishes before the arrived.

Anniversary meal and we had been gifted a voucher, our waitress so was helpful and kind, she offered alternatives to fulfill our voucher when the listed items weren't wanted. The food was very good, no flavours overpowering and beautifully presented. We were both very impressed.

Amazing food and great customer service

We came here for a birthday celebration. We did the bottomless. Best I have ever been to the food was great the drinks plentiful. Our server Ash was so attentive and helpful. Would recommend a 100 times over.

Ash was absolutely smazing- amazing service and food!!

Top dinner! Spicy food very good!!!

My 2nd visit in 2 weeks. One of the finest Indian restaurants in the World. Flavours, spices, overall taste was perfect and very authentic. Thanks Aishwarya for your prompt service. Must visit.

Amazing experience! Beautiful food and company. We were very lucky to be part of Holi.

I went with few of my colleagues and we had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The venue itself is beautiful, with a stylish and welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights is the huge heated terrace, which makes it perfect for enjoying a meal even on colder days—such a great touch! The food was excellent, with fresh ingredients and delicious flavors that really stood out. Everything was well-prepared and beautifully presented. Most of all, the staff made the experience even better. They were incredibly lovely and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Their warm and friendly service really set this place apart. Highly recommend—can’t wait to return! :)

Great food and service. Ash was a fantastic host.

Hash was absoloytely suoerb. Best service and lovely food. Will definitely be back.

Lovely food, thanks to Ash for looking after us

Had a set lunch. The food was really delicious. Lots of flavour. Nicely spiced to work with the food. The staff are really excellent. Very friendly and professional.

We had the special Holi celebratory meal - a delicious and varied selection of dishes, with more than enough for both of us. We were also offered special complimentary Holi sweets and drinks. And of course the evening would not be complete without an outrageously fun session of throwing brightly coloured powders at each other - and a few fellow diners! - in the special Holi room. The service, as ever, was unfailingly attentive and friendly. A totally unique, fab and fun evening all in all!

Had my 50th birthday party here and from start to finish the team were fantastic. I was struggling to find a venue to host a group of 20. Ana, the events manager was superb. She and the venue were so accommodating from hosting the drinks reception in the bar to flexibility on the menu for some of my guests. On the day Raj and his team provided exemplary service. We were all impressed. The food was outstanding with a great selection. Only positives to say about the Cinnamon kitchen. A great team and full compliment to the chefs.

What a lovely evening and service, with such beautiful food. Brilliant hospitality from Peter and Joanna, with the best masala teas that we've ever tasted. The food from start to finish on the tasting menu, got better and better, the staff were brilliant in looking after my Gluten allergy, much appreciated..... Might have been a long day, but well worth it, the Venison main was superb, purchased a signed book too. Thank you all...

Raj made the experience truly enjoyable!

A great ol skool Indian. Great grilled food, the prawns were perfect and good value for money

I'm posting this because Cinnamon Kitchen gave me a flyer asking me to. First visit. Positives: the food was very good, with flavours (delicate) I had not before experienced in any curry. And the dessert was excellent. Negatives: pricey overall. A MINI Peshawari Naan the size of a coaster for £6? Atmosphere: too noisy despite being only half full, if that. Too many hard industrical surfaces that don't absorb and reduce sound. Made worse for me by live music (a duo) as far away from our table was was possible but adding to the problem of hearing what others were saying. For me the negatives outweigh the positives, and I shan't be back. (This is meant to be helpful feedback to management, and as I noted, had I not been asked to give feedback I would have chalked it up to experience and left it at that).

Staff had a bad attitude. We asked them several times to clear the table and were ignored. You can’t order starter until you have ordered your main.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Great waitress who recommended some excellent choices. Will definitely return .

Food was delicious and nicely spiced, options plentiful and the service from Raj attentive. We’ll be back for another Friday lunch.

We have chosen based on the reviews and its was 5 of us all and are very disappointed with the quality of food and service. All these 5* reviews must be fake I believe. Garlic Nan was so tough I have better ones in my local Indian. Lamb dish they charge £25 but only 5 small pieces. All starters have totally same accompaniments (salad and chutney) only the protein is different so what makes me wonder this restaurant even a have proper chief.

Well the food was very salty. Rasam vada was not rasam , the consistency was too thick and salty. Potions were not enough.

Great food, super efficient service however tends to be noisy during peak hours.

Good decent food, nothing extra special to make a wow!

We went for dinner on Valentine's Day and it was a beautiful setting! Peter really took good care of us! Food was delicious and one of the tastiest Indian meals in London. Would come back again for sure!

Amazing food and service as always - thanks for a delicious meal and a wonderful evening.

Went on Valentine’s Day and waited over 40 minutes for our table past our reservation time. In that time, about 50% of the couples around us cancelled their reservation as they had all been waiting for 30-60 minutes for a table. Service was horrific — they forgot our appetizers and immediately brought mains. We needed to prompt them multiple times for our sides and naan. We weren’t given an explanation for anything on the tasting menu. Overall, there are dozens of places in London where you can have a better experience for a £75 pp Indian tasting menu. We were given no apologies and no acknowledgment of their messed up nonsense that night. Unprofessional and a poor experience, even the furniture in the restaurant was mismatched and bad quality. But the food was alright I guess?

Great evening really great food, definitely coming back.

Food was sensational restaurant staff brilliant and attentive. Only issue we had was we had to wait 25 minutes for our table others around us had been waiting an hour

I booked a table on valentine's day and wasn't expecting much. But basic service seemed beyond the staff's capabilities. It took staff 45mins to prepare our table while we stood in a corridor with other delayed customers. We were given a glass of bubbly in compensation but by that point we just wanted to eat and leave. Won't be back.

We had a great time on Valentine's Day. The ambience, food, service everything was great - we Sat outdoors. Also Peter was a great host, will defo go back again.

Honestly it’s a shame that the difference between a 5 star review and this 3 star review came down to service. Usually I will ignore service if food is top notch, but the service was so bad that I had to stare at servers for any attention. Why should I beg to pay your check, then get a server who didn’t serve me ALL NIGHT come to bill me and say a smart response of “thank you for that” on a tip. Tips are earned not required. I have traveled over 15+ countries and worked in hospitality. Let me tell you arguably the worst service I have ever experienced. Only thank the seating girl for the ounce of respect I have for the integrity and respect for this restaurant. Without her help and assistance I truly believe your restaurant would be in shambles.

Nice food bad service, really loud in the dining hall especially with live music.

Starters were a bit cold and service was a smidge slow but can’t complain overall as it was Valentines night, meaning they were doing their best to meet everyone’s expectations and I will definitely be back to visit again

The presentation of the food was very shabby. We ordered Lamb and Chicken for the starters and the presentation of the dish was poorly plated. The other dish which we had ordered was Rasam and Vada- they served it with Sambhar. Rasam and Sambhar are too different dishes. Fried pomfret was good. Cocktails were good aswell. Overall disappointing food.

Indian cuisine and I have historically been at odds—but Cinnamon Kitchen has completely changed my perspective. The experience was simply delicious, a true feast for the senses. I will definitely be returning! For newcomers like myself, it’s an entirely new culinary world waiting to be discovered. The appetizer platter for two is an absolute highlight, offering a delightful sampling of various flavors. For the main course, I opted for the king prawns—a dream come true. I'll be back!

Outstanding food and service. Taste, presentation and the warm welcome by the staff were all wonderful. Our date night was made extra special by our server Raj who made sure we have a smooth and fun night.

Visited for a friend's birthday, and she had arranged for us to order from the set menu. The food was nice, but I had higher expectations than this delivered. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was vibrant. I’d be happy to give this place another go, but next time I’ll order the à la carte menu — maybe that will win me over!

Great food and good service. Thank you for making our family evening special.

Este restaurante es uno de nuestros favoritos. Siempre que estamos en Londres tratamos de cenar en la Cinnamon Kitchen City ya que nunca nos decepciona. Recomendaría el menú degustador de 9 platos para darle una buena visión general de los diferentes platos que se ofrecen en este restaurante. Sin embargo, hoy tenía calamares para empezar, mientras que mi marido tenía un plato de pollo increíble. Yo tenía la silla de cordero y mi marido tenía pollo biriani con un lado de lentejas y peshwari nan. Raj es el camarero más increíble, ya que nunca te apura y te saluda como viejos amigos. No hemos estado durante unos meses, pero él nos recordó y sabía dónde nos sentamos la última vez. Hemos tenido una semana horrible esta semana y este restaurante , la comida y el servicio era el antídoto que necesitábamos. ¡Muchas gracias!

Just fantastic. Unbelievably good.

Filete de cordero a la parrilla para empezar y pollo biryani para principal - perfección absoluta! Gracias a Ash encantador por servirnos!

Great food and ambience, would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Tasty food, average to small portions, not super fast service but OK and a decent (buzzy) ambience. Overall I would return

Service was quite slow but food overall was nice.

The portion size for the price of the dishes is quite small. The lamb was undercooked and chicken was overcooked for me.

Amazing food (we had the tasting menu) and wonderful service from Ash. She was passionate, interesting and fun. The perfect level of attention and nothing was too much trouble. What an asset to a fabulous restaurant, thank you!

Had a delicious work lunch here. Excellent service, lovely food, lovely people. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic, it is the best Indian restaurant that I have been to, a perfect gift for a special occasion . The food was exceptional, it was bursting with flavour, perfectly cooked & the presentation was amazing!. The service was equally brilliant , warm, attentive and welcoming . A truly wonderful dinning experience. I would highly recommend a visit to Cinnamon Kitchen. I can’t wait to go back !

My second visit this week at Cinnamon Kitchen! I used the £25 voucher off the bill. Again, the food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. It was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night, however, it created a nice, more relaxed vibe that the Tuesday which was buzzing. The service was exemplary, with attentive staff who enhanced the overall enjoyment of the meal. Thank you all! As a delightful surprise, we were offered complimentary champagne and a side order, which is such a nice touch. The jazz music was enjoyable; however, the musicians were somewhat tucked away, and their engagement could have been improved by placing them closer to the dining area. I treated myself to a cocktail, which was beautifully put together. Overall, it was a delightful experience and I will return again!

Cinnamon Kitchen, delights me with contemporary Indian cuisine. I head here regularly to meet my girlfriends. On a Tuesday night when I expected a more laid-back vibe, it was a bustling atmosphere with a business and non-business crowd. The food offerings are impressive without breaking the bank. Everything I ordered was beautifully presented—like little works of art on my plate. It’s obvious that the chefs take pride in their creations. Whether you’re a meat lover or a dedicated vegan, the menu has a lot of variation. It’s refreshing to see a restaurant that caters so well to different dietary needs without compromising on taste. In short, I am going again on Friday, where they have BYOW (bring your own wine) and Jazz. I always feel satisfied and eager to return.

Food was delicious! Service was impeccable! Ash gave us all a great amount of detail of menu. Really impressive and looked after our large table very well! Thankyou! We will be back

Our daughter took us to this amazing restaurant. We had the three course set menu with a signature cocktail. The food was so delicious and portion sizes were very good. Best of all was our server Ash, she explained clearly everything about our choices and had the time to answer questions and was so friendly. The restaurant was so lovely and we all walked away talking about how much we’d had a fabulous evening and would like to go back again, when we visit London again. Thank you to Ash and the rest of the staff.

Great food, great service - thank you Ash!

An extraordinary dining experience at Cinnamon Kitchen, where impeccable service and a sophisticated atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The food was nothing short of exceptional, with each dish bursting with flavour. The cocktails were a true highlight, expertly paired to elevate the meal. Rishab, with his remarkable flair, curated exquisite drinks and recommended some outstanding house cocktails, adding an extra touch of brilliance to an already memorable evening.

A wonderful lunch with a few old friends. A nice surprise. They were doing the weekend Barbecue Brunch. A large aromatic and spicy choice of tasty food, for starters and for main, omnivore and vegetarian choices. Great service and £29 per head for the food. Always love going to Cinnamon Kitchen City. This will certainly accelerate the weeks until my next visit.

Had a lovely time with my husband at Cinnamon Kitchen :) Ash really took care of us, she was superb! She knew every dish/menu inside out and managed to tweak a couple of the dishes to my liking! Thank you, Ash! x

Great atmosphere. The food was amazing and the service from Nurul was top tier! Would highly recommend

Excellent food at another level. Great service from Ash.

We had a wonderful time, and Nurul helped us choose a great dish for those of us that weren’t familiar with the menu.

The food is as nice. Large open space. Nurul was great and very attentive

Food was delicious, great value and also filling with a fine dining level of detail. Service was impeccable too from Nurul. Just a little loud when busy but think that might be the acoustics of the room. Would 100% come again

Lovely experience, with gorgeous food and really friendly and (mostly) efficient staff. An absolute joy to find they are also extremely dog friendly, very thoughtful about location in the restaurant so the dog (a retriever) had plenty of space. 10/10.

We booked a small table for 4 on a Tuesday evening. We were offered two different tables and took one furthest from the entrance. Unfortunately, it was next to a large table of 10/12 and they were noisy. We asked to move and were accommodated nearer a wall. Although slightly better, the acoustics is poor and noise reverberates such that for most of the evening conversation was difficult. Food was good but we will not be going back to this location in the City given the noise is too loud and being an old warehouse, it reverberates.

Excellent food and service. Thanks Satrupa for your hospitality :)

The food was delicious, the service was very quick and Ash who served us was lovely. We were offered a free shot after dinner and alcohol free option too which was great. Great area and restaurant for a birthday dinner.

Really delicious food and brilliant service! Highly recommended

We had the private room @Cinnimon Bazar for my daughters £30th birthday, Staff could not do more excellent, food was well balanced in flavours tasted very good. The whole evening, until we finished was so well organized I would definitely recommend the place for any occasion.

Had a wonderful experience during last couple of visits, but today's visit along with one of the MD of my organisation was disappointment. Front desk promised seating in few mins but not got and ended up waiting long nearly 2 hrs outside in cold weather. But later before having mains managed to get table inside. Not a pleasant experience today, but strongly recommend to book table before you visit. Thanks to the crew. **************** Another lovely visit and lovely food at Cinnamon Thanks to Emu and team Excellent new menu on board and tasted fantastic ----------++++ My first visit to Cinnamon Nice location just few mins from Liverpool Station Ambience is great and lovely food and lovely time Shout out to Alok Singh for serving us with great care and thanks to him and the crew Will visit again. Being a Google guide would strongly recommend if anyone looking for an Indian Restaurant

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional dining experience my client and I had during our recent visit. The food was absolutely amazing, with each dish exceeding our expectations in both flavor and presentation. I would also like to acknowledge the excellent service provided by your hostess, Shatrubha. She was attentive, friendly, and made us feel incredibly welcome throughout the meal. Her professionalism and warm demeanor truly elevated our experience. Please extend my gratitude to your entire team for creating such a memorable evening. I look forward to dining with you again in the future and will be more than happy to recommend your restaurant to others.

Sadly, although the food was okay, I was hoping for a more authentic experience but the menu was very westernised. It was also limited in terms of choice outside of seafood, so if you’re not a huge fan of seafood, I would not recommend this place. Also, they had some very loud live music, including an electric guitar…this was not exactly appropriate for the setting and we found that we had to shout to hear each other. It would have been better with some more relaxing ambient music.
