Service was fantastic for the first hour then as the place filled service dropped to below average. I don’t think they had enough staff to keep up. Food was delicious!

Es war unglaublich. Eine ‚Gewürzreise‘ wie ich sie noch nie erlebt habe. Mit überraschenden Kombinationen. Ich kam mit hohen Erwartungen und diese wurden bei weitem übertroffen. So etwas wird man nicht vergessen.

My partner and I love the TCC, food, setting and service never disappoints. We had a table at 9:30 and hadn’t realised they closed at 11pm, so was all a little rushed in the end. We just need to bear this in mind next time we visit (or get an earlier table).

Excellent food as always. Bit quiet in the restaurant today with people heading out of London for Xmas plus ate later than normal so not the usual buzz about the place. Will certainly be returning with the excellent January offer

Always a favourite but hadn’t been back for a while. Had the festive menu. Unfortunately both I and my companions were disappointed. Flavours good but dishes were frequently cool (we eventually sent the barely warm Christmas pudding/sponge and custard back). But more than that they didn’t come across as freshly made - bread aside. Prep taken to extremes it seemed.. Won’t be rushing back.

Second time visiting the Cinnamon Club and again it didn't disappoint. Ordered the tasting menu which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Sublime food, great flavours. Fantastic setting in the old library and great service. Even caught a gimpse of Vivek Singh himself!
