Amazing food. Avoid dessert and non alcoholic drinks they costly and not worth for the given price. Their afternoon is also good.

Lovely outdoor and indoor seating. Nice ambience inside. Chicken and lamb is halal here and the butter chicken was amazing! The watermelon chaat was great too, lovely twist on a classic. Reasonable pricing and casual vibe. Highly recommend this place. Service was great too.

Really tasty food, great customer service, my 3rd time to this place and I still love it :)

The most surprising experience! Wonderful service by all the team, I didnt quite get everyones name but Anna and Imran were great but ALL the staff were equally attentive, patient and very helpful. The food was amazing, the dishes werent just delightful to look at the favours were delicious. I highly recommend the afternoon tea as an introduction to this hidden gems menu.Reasonably priced, portions are more than substantial and the team are fantastic.. 5 stars!

Great little place. Loved the starter plates to share, and the main dishes were sizable. Charming little place, great vibe, and loved the decour. Staff were attentive and super helpful.

Amazing food, friendly staff, will definitely come back

One of the most amazing indian food I ever get to experience in London. Its just all so flavourful.

We had an afternoon tea here while visiting london for a wedding. Ambience is colourful and staff is warm and friendly. Starters consisted of watermelon chat, pani puri and dahi puri chat which was delicious. The mains were of bombay sandwich and paneer kathi roll. Loved the kathi roll. Sweets were delicious as well. Overall a good experience with reasonable price of £25pp.

Had a quick Pimm cocktails to cool down!Nice outside sitting area and the bartender is super friendly

The staff at the door greeting diners was extremely helpful, professional and welcoming. We didnt have a reservation and it was busy and he managed to get us a seat, grateful for this. We tried a selection of foods which we enjoyed. The price is abit steep for the quantity you get but its expected around this location. Deco was nice, there is option to eat/drink outside. There isnt a facility got changing babies. I really liked the fact that the restaurant doesnt add service charge to the bill but gives you the option to add it yourself.

Food was good. Nothing fancy or unique, I’ve had better tasting Indian food at other places in London. Also, the portion sizes are disappointingly small. The ambience is good and instagram friendly, but I need good food for me to keep coming back.

The staff is welcoming, but we were waiting to place our order and to get a bill for a while.The food is delicious. Main dishes dont include sides even rice. 3 paneer slices with couple of leaves and green sauce costs £12. I think its overoverpriced, although it was tasty. Masala is simply average.We got complimentary desserts at the end of the meal. They were amazing.4 stars because I think its overpriced for small portions. Yes, free dessert is cool, but I expected the main course experience.

Excellent ambiance, service and food. Very accommodating to our group of four adults plus infant in push chair. Inside seating a little tight. Highly recommended.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and fantastic staff. The staff were really friendly, helpful and just extremely nice. When we went, it was an average London evening and therefore a little chilly. So when we realised the AC was on, we spoke to the staff and they were super nice about it, turning it off. Great service CB but maybe dont have the AC on unless its really hot

We booked a table for 6 last Saturday night, had to ask for a menu, first drinks came reasonably quickly, then things started to go downhill slowly.We asked if the plates were suitable for sharing, “yes” came the answer. Whilst the food is delicious here, the way it is served isn’t suitable for sharing. Everything is individually plated, which is fine, but if you’re asked, then you should inform the customer.As for the service, it was very slow. I got the impression they were at least 2 servers short.Plates were not cleared away very quickly 15 mins at least per course. Drinks were delivered and the server walked away empty handed on so many occasions.Overall, the food and ambience were as good as each other, however, the service needs a lot of improvement. A little more training would go a long way. Diners don’t like clutter on the table.

Great little find👍food was really good and very fresh. Set menu really good deal. What a shame they dont freely offer this - we had to ask! Good decor and also outside dining space available.

Indian food with a TWIST and a definite positive twist.Good service, a healthy buzz about the dining area backed by an interesting and appealing menu.Opted for both the shrimp and pork belly simply because I could not choose?Both dishes were lovely whilst my wife went for the more traditional butter chicken and rice which was equally as nice.A wonderful meal and experience and definately value for money.Highly recommended.

Amazing afternoon tea!

Really great food and warm atmosphere in Covent Garden. Lost points for the service (really slow and clumsy waiting staff)... also, for a restaurant that has at its core the offer of smaller sharing plates (considering many will be ordered at the same time), the table are smaller than usual for a restaurant... guess they tried to maximise the space? We ordered 4 dishes + pita bread and we had to literally put the wine bottle on the floor cause there was nowhere to move around and the waiting staff didn’t really care to help accommodate the plates.

Lovely dinner experience, the food was great.. its a small menu but very tasty. We also had a surprise dessert which was a lovely gesture by the restaurant. Our server was very attentive and polite. Loved our visit, will go again definitely.

The food was phenomenal with an atmosphere to match. Saw the great reviews and it was on the Bib Gourmand list. The server walked us through the menu and we were very pleased with all his recommendations. Everything we ordered was well seasoned and plated beautifully. Colocasia & Fenugreek Tikki Chaat and the Lucklow Chicken Biryani is a must try. The drinks were mediocre. The basal gimlet type drink that was on the specials menu was essentially just a glass of ice. Other than that, it was a great experience.

Great service and delicious, modern, Indian food in comfortable, buzzy setting. Can be expensive but go with frequent specials which are great vaĺue.

Excellent restaurant with great food, enjoyed the restaurant festival menu, very reasonably priced with friendly staff and even got a cake for my birthday

Wonderful foodgreat atmosphere well worth a visit

Good food and friendly staff. Was worth to try the 9 course tasting menu.

The waitress is lovely beyond belief. She makes you feel comfortable and right at home. I only saw the one lady serving that night and she was Polish but unfortunately I didnt catch her name. Only downside was that the portion sizing for some dishes is super small. I paid over 20 for some steamed greens which were unseasoned and it was just one type of veg and then the chicken dish was just 4 cubes of chicken breast with two small dollops of sauce. I was gutted. It was such a simple dish, why would they skimp on it?

Visited this restaurant for mums birthday and loved the experience. The snacks (chaats) and desserts were heavenly! The kulfi was the best I have ever eaten. The mains were good too, flavoured but not the stars of the night. What really shone though, and the main reason we will be back is the service. We were looked after by a young man whos name I didnt catch (sorry) and Annie, who in particular was very attentive, considerate and went above and beyond to make sure each table was having a great night. They bought my mum a surprise birthday dessert and sang to her, without any prompting! The service staff are a real credit. Thank you all for a great night and hope to see you soon!

Lovely place with nice decor. We ordered selection of sharing plates and it was super nice. Especially dal was outstanding. We were looked after by Giedrius who was so attentive and professional and nothing was too much for him. Definitely will be back again!

Lovely food, but more importantly, fantastic service and hospitality from Dominik. Made our evening one to remember!

Great service but average food, that’s significantly overpriced! Overall 3 stars purely based on the extremely attentive service. Will not return unfortunately!

Awesome decor and tasty good... Definitely no lack of smiles or wows in this place!!

First time trying for lunch today. Curry & naan was brilliant. Very nice atmosphere

Horrible service. Food below average and NOT indian. Arman and Anna worst restaurant staff in the history of restaurant staff. Arman especially so rude to customers, other customers seemed to have an issue with him as well. He is the worst and made the whole visit unmemorable. Never again, don’t go if your used to decent customer service!!!!!! Arman needs to go back school 😂😂 cinnamon bazzar let arman go and find someone better :)

Anna Marie was extremely helpful. She made the experience 10 times better. Would definitely recommend visiting. Thank you

Amazing food and service, really enjoyed the afternoon tea and the atmosphere for the place is amazing

We had the famous afternoon tea and it was amazing. Each of the items in their was so yumm. The chaats were amazing...best was panipuri. And the kadhai paneer roll was superb. Staff was lovely and so courteous. We didnt find the masala tea authentic enough, but the staff was very open to listening to our feedback and offered alternative. Had the best afternoon, would definitely go back for other menus xx

Never liked Indian food. Always thought that it just doesnt sit right with me, no matter how many times I tried it. But this place is totally different. Weve tried 4 different dishes for lunch, and loved them all. Amazing place, will come back for more.

The best samosa I’ve ever had in my life. Food is ridiculously tasty. Forty-five minutes after we ordered, a nice chap came and asked if we were ready to order. The girl that was serving us hadn’t put our order in the system. At the end the same girl dropped a curry dirty knife on my sister’s lap… manager came and apologised but no free drinks or extra samosas as compensation… My compensation was my delicious food and finding out they have a Michelin star!!! Your amazing dinner might take one hour and a half to come, but it will surely wow you.

Rude staff with their friends sitting at the bar, talking very loud and throwing dirty looks at us!My baby was napping in my arms, why was that an issue to them?!Food overrated!Tea was watery!One european waiter was greatThe manager was rude and cocky!

So tasty! Great presentation. Reasonably priced for lunch. Lovely simple decor with a great ambiance. This is the second time I have been here in less than a month. Also try their sister restaurant called Cinnamon Soho, just west of Carnaby Street.

I have been to many Indian restaurants around central London and comparatively this was average. Menu was A4 paper printout. Tea was served in a traditional looking kettle but did not taste good at all. Starters were tasty. Mains tasted all right too except for okra which had yellow gravy and popdum smashed on top! 🤔 it did not taste good at all. The quantity of daal was exponentially less than other dishes. They don’t have any salads or condiments. Limited variety of desserts, chocolate rasgulla was interesting. Ambience was okay-ish. Toilets were very dirty. Service was slow. I felt that waiters are not fond of Indian food and were working there for the sake of it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Average at best if I’m being honest!!

The place is quite hyped and hence we selected this for an office event.PROS:The chicken dish which was served to us was excellent.Dessert was outstanding. We had almost all the desserts on the menu and each was fantastic.Service is good. Waiters are always with a smile on their faces.CONS:Vegetarian fare is average.Ambience/decor is average.PRO TIP: Try the mango brulee for dessert.

Food was really delicious, staff and ambience both great. Only issue was the restaurant felt a bit crowded and therefore not terribly covid safe. The people at the tables either side of us did feel very close and there were no barriers. So I will definitely be visiting again but maybe not until were the other side of covid.

Very good ambiance and excellent food.Good menu construct and a fresh take on the classic Indian dishes.As the name suggests it is a crowded place and pre booking must to avoid wait time in peak hours.

We came here on advice of the Time Out list best dishes in London. We had the Rogan Josh Shepard pie, which is indeed incredibly good, very tender and well flavoured. However, to our great disappointment, we wanted to order two cocktails. Twice the waiter had to come back and tell my friend that they didnt have the cocktail shed ordered. Once I could forgive, but twice, on a list only about 6 cocktails long, this is very poor, and having to change your order twice is no fun. Further, the cocktail she ended up with wasnt even that good - and they arent cheap! We also had chaat, which was very good.Overall, food is good (little expensive, but they do have good multi-course offers), waiter was very friendly, but the restaurant seems ill-prepared, and things are a little expensive for what you get. Too bad, as its a lovely looking place, with good food. Just needs to go the extra mile.

Even though an « Indian restaurant in Covent garden » may sound like something unsophisticated with loads of dull tourists and where food is hardly eatable, that one is a place to not miss if you’re around. Food is excellent and waiters are nice and welcoming. I did not try the wines (it does not usually match with spicy dishes)

The second time we have been and still are just as impressive. Food was brilliant again (Chicken Biryani) and the staff were just as competent, attentive and friendly just what you need to make a lovely evening out👍👍👍👍👍

Went for High Tea for two. Portions were only sufficient size for a 10 year old child. Miniature burgers, two wedges of sandwich, four tiny pieces of cake. Side dishes of Samosa and potato cutlets were good. Pot of lukewarm tea and two tiny glasses. Second pot of tea only given upon our insistence. Avoid this place as its not value for money.

CHAATASTIC!This restaurant is EXCEPTIONAL. We had the afternoon tea which was one of the most amazing versions/twists of the London Afternoon Tea Scene.Flavour busting treats which really do blow your tastebuds away. We could not resist checking out the main meanie and trying a few more items.The Chaat menu is flavour laden and the curried popcorn is a nibble must.We ordered an extra pot of chai masala tea and finished off with a a cocktail as we could bare to leave without sampling at leat one of the Mr Lyan signature cocktails. We were not disappointed. Booking our next visit ASAP!

A fabulous set meal as part of the London Restaurant Festival. All dishes good but the Watermelon and Colocasia Chaats and Lamb Rogan Josh Shepherds Pie were especially good. A special shout out to Eshaan for looking after us so well.

Good flavourful food in a forgettable atmosphere

Best Galauti kebab in London hands down. I suggest going for the theatre menu as u get best of all courses n maybe ordering biryani on the side. We went for our anniversary n our server made it extra special 😊 taking 1 star off only coz portion sizes are a bit small. Otherwise a good find among the confusing array in the area.

The food was generally very good..The high tea was ok. The masala chai could have been better though. Chaats were really nice. Chicken biryani was very good, lamb not so good. Service was very slow due to only 2 people serving the whole restaurant. If you want a decent lunch place to go to this is it.

We were disappointed with the food quality on some dishes. The food served to us was not hot. We were really excited about the Old Delhi butter chicken and the black daal but both were bland and barely warm. The tandoori roti was very dry. The masala chai tasted like it was made hours ago and left in a cattle. Apart from the above, we liked the chicken tikka naan, lamb chakli and desserts. Overall, the experiance was not as great as I would expect from Vivek Singhs food quality.Missed to mention, we were very rushed to leave the table by 8pm even though we booked in advance. We were told to leave by 8pm at the beginning and the reminded 20, 10 and 5 minutes before 8pm. We were made to make the payment while having our desserts so not a great place for a good customer service.

Came here for a meal after seeing book of Mormon and Id heard good things. Was not disappointed. We had a sharing mixed starter which was one of the best starters Ive had in an Indian then for main I went for a curry shepards pie. Wasnt sure what to expect but heard it was on 100 dishes to try in London. It was unusual but very very nice. Service was good and quick and the price was a lot less than I expected. Its not a traditional Indian, more experimental dishes with an Indian theme.

Great food, great decor, smiling and courteous waiters. We will be back 😋

We really enjoyed the food here, the paneer curry was delicious, probably my favourite dish. The biryani was good too. Prawn tandoori was very tasty but a small portion - only three king prawns and a bit of rice for £22. Would have preferred some larger portions for the prices paid but nevertheless it was a good dinner.

Would thoroughly recommend this place. Good service and fantastic menu. Some unusual items on there which sets this place apart from your normal curry house. Can recommend the lamb rojan josh shepherds pie and the spicy cod. Hope to be back again soon in the future.

Visited twice in July, once with a group of 8. Food is truly outstanding, with ample choices for vegetarians and vegans. All of our choices, from the table snacks to the chaats to the mains were very good (tapioca chips), excellent (hummus, grilled aubergine) or outstanding (butter paneer). Service is friendly but they were slightly understaffed on very busy nights. I would gladly return. This is one of my go-to places for groups in London.

Cinnamon Bazaar spices up Covent Gardens foodie hotspot, Maiden Lane, with this appealingly vibrant and relaxed bonne bouche that it offers... The burst of flavors and spices reminds us back home.. They have plenty of options for the veggie lovers too! Visit them during festive seasons and u get to explore some mouthwatering food! Apart from the À la carte they also have some combo offers which have pretty good variety of choices.. I must say it is worth the price!Tip- Better to reserve in advance to avoid the rush! As YES it is ALWAYS crowded! ....Can’t forget to enjoy the colourful drapes and painted walls in the high room recreate the bustle of an Indian market.....A Must visit food corner in Central London!- Cinnamon bazaar located at Covent Garden (Michelin Star 2019)#cinnamonbazaar @thecinnamoncollection#coventgarden #londoncentral #strand

I recently visited Cinnamon Bazaar for the first time. It’s a good Indian restaurant in Covent Garden if you fancy a curry. I am a vegetarian. I ordered Paneer Butter Masala, Dal Makhani, Naan bread and Rice. The preparation was good though I would not order the dal makhani again. Just coz I am very fussy about dal makhani and there are very few restaurants who do it well and authentic. My hubby ordered a Fish Curry and he really enjoyed it. A very special mention of their Mango Cardamom Creme Brûlée. It was amazing! I would definitely visit again whenever I am in and around the area.

Food was okay but not for that money. Plus it was such a small portion. We were so hungry and had to eat something else after eating there.Way too overpriced.Beautiful location though. And the waiters were great.

Very nice place to take the lunch. The portions are a bit small but we got some courtesies like rice and something else. Very tasty for spicy lovers. The personal very friendly. Cozy place with lovely decoration.

Very friendly and attentive staff with a good variety of dishes. I really enjoy the spices they used for the curry. Highly recommended.

Lovely staff, lovely food, nice coffee, everything was fresh and tasty. Will definitely go back. We had some snacks here (outside) as they are extending the Eat Out To Help Out offer. Menu had proper allergy listings, and the main menu mentioned alternative menus were available for this - they werent. The staff happily talked me through the options. I cant eat cow dairy and the choice seemed to be a bit limited. Like other places, maybe the menu is limited due to Covid and low footfall in the west end? Had chaat, prawns and rice. Small portions! Unless you have a free budget this is a place to taste nice new foods rather than get a filling meal. I normally avoid central London, am a bit sad it is so quiet at the moment but it is also a good chance to enjoy the area without so much going on. Like many west end eateries the toilets were down steep rather dark steps in the basement.

They are Great! Love the place, starter was a tapioca chips. For chilli lovers the Bollywood burner was a Greta experience! Tonight I tryed tandoori King prawn, I loved it. Great staff, Fabio, Dominic, Apostolo they are outstanding.

A rather poor pick for our first meal in London. Were really excited to eat some Indian food but this place just dont live up to our hopes. The server I looked a bit put out when we asked for both sparkling and still water. Our appetizer was yummy and definitely had a good kick to it. The rest of the meal was on the disappointing side. The chicken we ordered was dry and there wasnt a lot of it. The chaat was good but very mono flavor. It was a pretty expensive meal for not getting a lot of food. An ok Indian restaurant but not worth visiting again

Lovely food, though expensive for the portion size. The atmosphere is nice considering the seating area is relatively small, and it’s brighter inside than most restaurants. The dish “Paneer 65” is more like mozzarella sticks than anything else; dry charred cheese with hardly any sauce. I’d recommend every other vegetarian dish though, especially the Jodhpuri Kachori Chaat.

Lovely food and friendly staff

Wonderful service, and very very good food. I recommend the lamb shepherds pie

Loved this halal option in covent garden! The butter chicken was a top fave of mine I London, would go back for the unlimited chaat and chai special!

Interesting and tasty tapas like Indian food. Good selection of drinks and cocktails. Loved the decor

Best Indian restaurant since long, very creative dishes, nice to sit, and certainly did like the use of fresh spices and flavours. Another plus was the friendly staff, they where super nice, can really make a good advice of this place

I was on my way to the national gallery and just spotted this lovely place. They had great vegan menus and the sauces were so delicious they went well with the ingredients. I had a fresh healthy meal. Loved the interior and the staffs too.

Very good food and service. Refined Indian cuisine. Can probably improve on tea and dessert.

Love.love.love @cinnamonbazaar food was on point and presented amazingly and how can you not shout out to @mrlyan and his fabulous drinks simply device! This is a cute hidden little gem.

Tea was not fresh, it was reheated. The chefs innovation in food is not working and the trick to Indian tea is that its freshly prepared but this was reheated which was tasteless and useless.

Great Indian food and lovely ambience.

Very nice barmans and girls who works in 😍 food was very tasty. Rekomend 100% 😍 when visit London again we came back again😍😍😍

Good service and food but disappointed by the portion sizes (mains were like starters) and that the lamb kebab was not juicy, tender cubes but a quartered burger. Very odd menu but tasty. Wouldnt go back.

Great place for a chaat or two! Highly recommend the black daal too!

The Cinnamon Bazaar is a modern Indian restaurant in Covent Garden with extremely welcoming staff and a divine cocktail bar. In particular the chaats were unbelievable with beautiful colours and amazing spices. The potato in the Aloo Tikki was so soft and the samosas were incredible with a great kick to them!

Delicious food, but a bit overpriced.Staff is very welcoming and hospitable, especially Anna Marie.

Stir fried greens, awful. The item did not match the description. Food was below average. Will not be returning.

After reading so many reviews I was expecting more but I was disappointed with what we ordered. If I lived nearby, Id definitely go back and give them another try because the samosas were delicious as was dessert. But our two mains fell a bit flat.The ambiance is really well put together and the service was lovely.I meant to take a picture of dessert but it was so yummy it was gone before I had a chance! It was the pudding I think...

Very very very good food. Surprising mix of flavours. Friendly and professional service. Nice atmosphere. Perfect!

Located in a nice area.Food is decent, definitely should try the watermelon chase, novelty and pretty yummy.Was disappointed with the black Dal however the overall experience was great.

The food is lovely with perfect ambience.😀

Clean, quirky, modern restaurant. Friendly staff! Food was absolutely amazing. The best Indian cuisine Ive had. More drinks on the menu than food options, but never the less very nice. I will definitely be back.

Very flavorful and delicious dishes. Pretty limited options for vegans but all the dishes were very well made and fresh. Seasoned with whole spices and flavors were balanced and considered. Good service, nice atmosphere. Music could be lower.

Amazing food and great service

Very friendly staff and clean bathrooms, great coffee and afternoon tea looked good. The menu was a bit pricey for mains and the portion you get. Thats probably central London pricing though.

Went here with some friends for dinner a couple weeks ago. We had a great time! It was really busy when we went (around 9pm on a Saturday night), so I’m glad we made a reservation before hand. We ordered lots for the table, including the Kerala Shrimp Cocktail, and the Watermelon Chaat. I’m gluten free, and was very happy to have lots of options as well. For our mains, we ordered the Tandoori Chicken Breast Malai Tikka, Double-cooked Pork Belly, Paneer Butter Masala, and the Jaipur Style Okra. It was my first time trying okra, and it was quite tasty! All of the dishes were rich with flavour, and all complimented each other. The paneer masala was my favourite, it was spicy, but not too overpowering. If I ever travel to London again, I would love to try this place again!

Pretty middle of the road.Quickest food served ever leading me to believe it wasnt freshly made there and then.Busy place.Sitting pretty close to other tables though so beware.No covid measures in place between tables apart from sanitizer at the door.

Mouth watering Indian food. Tried butter chicken & black Dal and the restraunt did not disappoint. Cordial waiters, overall a big thumbs up 👍

Great food, attentive table service. We ate upstairs on the first floor: pleasing decor but seating was cramped.The main courses were tasty and authentic. However it is often the simple things that stand out - the plain rice was perfectly steamed and as light as a feather, the garlic nan was one of the best Ive had; again perfectly cooked and with finely diced fresh garlic, not the crushed garlic out of a jar so many kitchens use. Wine was reasonably priced. Complimentary WiFi - ask for password.Main seating is on the ground floor, steep stairs to smaller dining room on first floor. Toilets are on second floor, again accessed via a steep stairway.

Service and atmosphere are amazing, but I was slightly dissapointed with the food. Their specialty Indian cheesecake did not seem like a cheesecake at all but rather mousse with cookie crumb crust on the side. Maybe it is by design, but I would appreciate if they advised me about it before my order.

Great atmosphere, great food. Worth every penny.

Cute little place with great food
