    Food was really good and service was exceptional. Value was really good. The tacos were a bit on the small side but very tasty. Every other dish we had was great and good portion size.

    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!

    I left the restaurant feeling quite disappointed - I was unable to eat everything :) The food and service was fantastic, The staff were really friendly and helpful. All the food came really quick and was great and tasty, I did order too much though so no matter how much I tried I just could not finish my food. This is my second time eating at a Gordon Ramsey Street Burger Resturant and I hope not the last, Great food at a great price.
