With exquisite food at the top of its genre, a stunning site in the heart of Westminster, and a formidable team at the helm, The Cinnamon Club is a landmark London restaurant.

When it opened over a decade ago, The Cinnamon Club’s ethos was to revolutionise the way Indian cooking is viewed in the UK.

Now 15 years on, the restaurant still thrives on its groundbreaking concepts and ambitious take on modern Indian cuisine.

The Cinnamon Club’s exquisite food is served in the magnificent and unique surroundings of the Grade II-listed Old Westminster Library. The building also houses a private dining room, Gallery mezzanine and library bar which are ideal for canapé receptions or private dinners, as well as the contrasting Cinnamon Club Bar on the lower ground floor, featuring unique projection screens and a rainbow of lights to set the mood for pre-dinner drinks or a lively party with DJs and cocktails.

To enjoy some of London’s most innovative Indian cuisine in a stunning setting, The Cinnamon Club is a must.
