Bistro Phil’s latest review

The Cinnamon Club (The Old Westminster Library, 30-32 Great Smith Street, London, SW1P 3BU)

After hearning so many good things about this place I took a bunch of business partners ther for dinner last night and had one of the worst dining experiences ever. Don't get me wrong, the food is pretty good – not exactly the Nobu of Indian food as I was led to expect but pretty interesting slightly leftfield Indian fare. What was bad, nay appalling was the service. We waited about 30 minutes for menus. 45 minutes to get a drink. An hour to order. Arrived at 7:30 and left at nearly 11:00pm. The waiter was absolutely clueless, brought wine to the table, I tasted, said OK – filled my glass then walked away with the bottle putting it in an ice bucket 5 yards away without offering anyone else a glass. We asked for bread / nans etc 5 times until we eventually got some. Sat looking at our finished plates for a good half an hour. The Manager span me the old line of ‘oh we are really busy tonight’ – like I care! – at £90 a head I was spending you should employ more staff. Rotten experience, avoid it like the plague – go to Sartaj in 7 Dials in Covent Garden, save yourself a bucket and wrap yourself in one of their Duvet sized Nan breads whislt guzzling lashings of ice cold Cobra. Saving that just get a take-away or go to your local – at least you know what you are getting!
