Simply Stunning! 20th April 2009

The Cinnamon Kitchen is a fairly new addition in Devonshire Square. It is a sister restaurant to the Cinnamon Club at the Old Westminster Library.

When the arrangements were made I did had a look at their website. The picture of the restaurant look smart, stylish and certainly in keeping with the location. The menu certainly was not I would call 'traditional' or

'contemporary' and I was please to see a number of fish dishes and very surprised to see a beef and a pork dish.

It was a fairly quiet Thursday night and the pictures did it justice. The large tables were well spaced apart giving privacy and the staff attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. There was also a cooking area within the main restaurant area.

The menu whilst not extensive (as with most Indian restaurants) was very varied and offered many dishes that you would not normally see. Between us we select we selected a beef salad, and two of the 'minced lamb' starters. The minced lamb would be recognised as a shami and kofti kebab. That is by sight only - in taste and presentation they had no competitors. For main we selected the sea bream and/or cod. Our side dishes were a lentil dish and a plate of mixed nan breads. The breads a mix of honey, chilli and garlic and coriander deserve a separate mention as they were fantastic - so good we had a second basket.

The treat continued onto the desserts - I opted for the coconut Brule - stunning. Cost per head £45…..first thoughts could be 'not cheap' and yes Brick Lane is not far away but the Cinnamon Kitchen is simply not competing in that market it is way above and for the standard and quality it really is very reasonable. Best of all unlike many establishments in the area it is actually open at weekends.

I for one will definitely be back.

I've eaten at this restaurant twice now, once for lunch and once for dinner. Lunch is busier but either is great. Food is superb, service is knowledgeable, friendly and not snobby. Decor is great and fits very well in the Devonshire Sq business campus. Highly recommended!
