The Cinnamon Club is rolling out its cut-price Retro Menu across multiple London restaurants this spring following an overwhelming response earlier in the year.
Originally launched to mark the restaurant’s 25th anniversary, the menu revisited dishes from the Cinnamon Club’s original 2001 opening menu, with prices rolled back to the early noughties. Think lamb kebabs for £6 and Vindaloo pork chops with pilau rice for £15.50. To put that in perspective, a la carte starters and mains are usually more than double the 2001 prices.
Following the sellout success of the menu at The Cinnamon Club in February this year, Vivek Singh is bringing the offer back to more of his London restaurants throughout spring and summer. So, if you missed out the first time, there are plenty of opportunities to check out the menu over the next few months.

Housed in the Grade II-listed Westminster Library, The Cinnamon Club made an instant impact when it opened in 2001, making Vivek Singh into one of London’s most respected chefs. The restaurant has become a recognisable trailblazer in the British dining scene, known for blending bold Indian flavours with British seasonal produce and game.
He says: ‘When we created the Retro Menu at The Cinnamon Club, the response from guests was incredible. Many of these dishes hold a special place in our story, and taking the menu on tour felt like the perfect way to share that experience with the wider Cinnamon community across London.’
