Excellent food as always. Bit quiet in the restaurant today with people heading out of London for Xmas plus ate later than normal so not the usual buzz about the place. Will certainly be returning with the excellent January offer

We went for the early dinner as we were going to the theatre. the set menu was excellent, the food delicious and great value. The staff were so welcoming, knowledgeable and made us feel special. Can't express enough what a good experience it was and how great it was to have some delicious Indian food that is so creative and in season.

Food is excellent but the service is slow and it’s very expensive. It’s a great spot but expect a drawn out service. £255 lunch for four.

Food was excellent and definitely a premiere dining experience. Cocktails were delicious. Only disappointment was that the nan breads arrived too late on third time of asking. We were not charged for them but would of course have preferred to have eaten them as an accompaniment to our main meal. Overall experience was excellent though and we will be coming back.

The food was absolutely delicious and service very attentive. It was however very busy when we were there so things took very slightly longer initially than we would expect but once our order was taken it was very slick.

Our meal at the Cinnamon Club was overall good, but there are a few areas for improvement. Firstly a very minor observation, it was disappointing the table we were placed on did not have a tablecloth (unlike other tables in the restaurant which was smarter and more in keeping with the vibe). Secondly, every course of food came out lukewarm or cold when it should have been hot. This indicates the food was all pre-prepared and reheated, except it wasn’t heated and clearly temperature checks were not taken. Thirdly, we were never checked on during courses to ask how our food was, so did not have the opportunity to raise the issue of food not being hot. Finally, the courses came out very quickly, without much of a break in between. Despite this, the food was very tasty and we had consistent service (i.e. the same waiters taking our order, bringing our food and delivering our drinks). It was a good amount of courses for the tasting menu (not too many and not too little). The old library is also a lovely setting.
