Cinnamon Kitchen’s City branch, located in the historic Devonshire Square, combines a rich heritage with cutting-edge Indian cuisine. Opened in 2008, it is the brainchild of celebrated chef Vivek Singh, whose vision has consistently pushed the boundaries of modern Indian dining. Drawing on his classical training in India and inspiration from Western techniques, Vivek has created a menu that harmoniously blends bold Indian spices with the finest seasonal British ingredients.
The restaurant’s design reflects its unique identity. Set in a former East India Trading Company warehouse, the space retains original features while introducing striking contemporary elements, including over 5,000 mother-of-pearl tiles and intricately patterned brass globe lights. The result is a warm, stylish ambience perfect for everything from corporate dinners to family celebrations.
The main dining room, with a capacity of 150, is the centrepiece, offering a lively yet refined setting. For smaller gatherings, the private dining room seats up to 18 and features a cinema-sized window offering a captivating view of the kitchen in action. Equipped with conference facilities, it’s also ideal for business meetings with a touch of culinary flair. For an immersive experience, the Tandoori Grill Bar allows up to 16 guests to sit at the chef’s table, where they can watch their dishes—such as smoky Kentish saddle of lamb or Pahadi chicken tikka - come to life on the tandoor.
For a more casual vibe, the Anise Bar hosts up to 60 guests and serves a creative selection of spice-infused cocktails, like the bold Club Old Fashioned or the zesty Lime Leaf Collins. Pair these with modern Indian street food, such as chicken tikka naan or tempura shrimp, for a relaxed yet flavourful evening.
Cinnamon Kitchen’s carefully crafted menu also caters to all preferences, from vegetarian-friendly grilled pink aubergine to indulgent desserts like pistachio soufflé with raspberry sorbet. Combining innovative cuisine, atmospheric spaces, and a slice of history, Cinnamon Kitchen City delivers an experience that is as unforgettable as it is delicious.
