Cinnamon Kitchen (9 Devonshire Square, London, EC2M 4WY)

This new Indian beacon in the peaceful surrounds of Devonshire Square makes the most of its heritage sight – it's a nice contemporary spin on a historical warehouse setting. I loved the elliptical lampshades whose light softens the setting's harder edges. Currently there's lots of space between tables and the user-friendly menu reflects rather than duplicates the Westminster template, but despite a relatively tight set of options I found them all appealing.

Excellent flavours, nice spicing, lots of wider Asian influences. Loved the aubergine dish, above. Look forward to trying the tandoor bar.

Private room with full view of kitchen is bright, fun and stylish.

Went back last week and tried their excellent canape tasting menu. This is a brilliant way of trying 14 dishes for just £30. I'd forgotten just how good the crab and cod cake with a green prea ratia shot was. Other favourites included the intense-flavoured sweet corn soup, the tandoori black leg chicken breast, and the shrikhand cheesecake with tamarind glazed berries.

I agree – it’s intrusive. The other day my neighbouring table was occupied by a dating couple when the girl’s mobile went off. On picking it up she was heard to say: ‘Not now, mummy… I’m busy’ and that was the abrupt but admirable ending. Though why she had to pick it up in the first place defeats me. More
