For larger celebrations that need space, atmosphere and a sense of theatre, Cinnamon Kitchen Leeds works brilliantly as a venue-hire option. Sitting inside The Queens Hotel Leeds, the restaurant is designed for sociable, high-energy gatherings, with delicious modern Indian menus and a laid-back vibe.
Led by chef Vivek Singh, Cinnamon Kitchen brings bold, spice-led cooking inspired by flavours from across 12 Indian states, paired with British produce and a polished, contemporary approach. For large groups, this translates into menus that are confident, generous and built for sharing - ideal for parties where you want the food to seamlessly complement the energy.
While there isn’t a traditional closed-door private dining room, the venue more than makes up for it with flexible hire options. Semi-private areas can be roped off for exclusive use, including The Snug (20 seated, 25 standing) and sections of the bar, while full venue hire allows for up to 124 guests seated or 200 standing. This makes it a strong choice for milestone birthdays, corporate celebrations, festive parties and brand events where scale and atmosphere matter.
The interiors do a lot of the heavy lifting. Expect plush banquettes, dramatic lighting and an Art Deco backdrop that feels glamorous without being stiff. There’s a natural flow between dining spaces and the bar, which suits mixed-format events: think drinks receptions that roll into dinner, or seated meals that end with cocktails and music.
Group menus are built to satisfy a crowd. Starters such as masala grilled salmon, pork belly Koorg-style or aloo mattar tikki chaat arrive full of flavour and colour. Mains like vindalho chicken, seared Kentish lamb saddle with keema saag, and paneer butter masala are bold and comforting, supported by naan, black lentils and spiced broccoli for the table. Desserts keep things streamlined, with a spiced take on crème brûlée to finish.
