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

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!

We went for the early dinner as we were going to the theatre. the set menu was excellent, the food delicious and great value. The staff were so welcoming, knowledgeable and made us feel special. Can't express enough what a good experience it was and how great it was to have some delicious Indian food that is so creative and in season.

Food is excellent but the service is slow and it’s very expensive. It’s a great spot but expect a drawn out service. £255 lunch for four.

Food was excellent and definitely a premiere dining experience. Cocktails were delicious. Only disappointment was that the nan breads arrived too late on third time of asking. We were not charged for them but would of course have preferred to have eaten them as an accompaniment to our main meal. Overall experience was excellent though and we will be coming back.
