"We wanted to try out Indian cuisine around Battersea and decided to give Cinnamon kitchen a try. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was packed. We didn't have a booking but the staff were courteous enough to give us a seat. The seat was not that great as it was facing the kitchen. No complaints since we didn't have a booking. So highly recommend booking in advance during the weekend. Now in terms of food we had the achari lamb dish and curried hummus for starters. I would rate the lamb starters 3/5 as I felt that the achari flavour was not that prominent. The lamb was perfectly cooked. Hummus deserves 4/5. For mains, we tried the chicken biriyani. It was flavourful and I would rate it 4/5. For dessert, we tried the Shirkand cheesecake. This was the best and I would rate it 5/5. They have a good selection of wine too. The ambience was nice and the staff were very attentive. There was a lady (couldn't get her name) who went above and beyond to provide excellent service. Thank you!"

"We stopped in here on a whim for a late lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is a casual and cosy vibe and the food was wonderful. We were a little unsure of what to try, so asked for some recommendations from the waiter who was very helpful and made excellent choices. This excluded the buttered chicken as that was my partner's own choice. It was very nice if you like that dish but paled in comparison to the rich flavours in the other dishes. The only down side was that we were pressed for time and was unsure if we had time for dessert. The waiter gave a very poor estimation of their arrival which left us rushing to eat and exit to make our reservation. Overall though I would definitely go again, the food was delicious and definitely worth a try for a modern take on Indian cuisine."
