Service was abysmally slow, to the point we didnt exist and with great trouble getting their attention. Took our order, starters showed up, finished a bottle wine and didnt bring the mains until we reminded them. Wasnt even busy just a few people outside. To add to this, its was overpriced for the extremely small portions. Cant rate the food, it was a disappointing visit.

I’ve read some of the reviews below and must say I can’t really understand. Wonderfully friendly staff. A fantastic extremely good value 9 course tasting menu and couldn’t fault anything. With a reputation of ‘I know what you’re like with restaurants’ and ‘ I know you’re a fussy b*stard’ I’m really impressed, full and happy. Come here for a great curry and then tell your mates.

The food was amazing, but the customer service was so appealing, that the waiter couldnt even explain the difference between 2 chicken dishes that were in the menu, other than they both came with rice. I had to ask him to be more specific, bc I could read in the menu that the dishes came with rice. Even then he couldnt really explain properly the difference of both dishes.

Welcoming, brilliant service. Food was immaculate!! Definitely will attend again!

The food was good but overpriced for the size of the portions. The waiting time was a bit long even though the restaurant was half-empty. The cheesecake I had was good but not what I expected.

Very tasty food. We had the nine course tasting menu, which we strongly recommend. Lovely service and convenient location.

Fantastic food, best curry Ive probably ever had. Great friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Loved our evening here! We were bought a Christmas gift from Indytute which included a tasting menu for two from Cinnamon Kitchen and it did not disappoint!The service and food were both excellent, even down to the point that the waitress noticed before me that Id dragged my sleeve through a bowl of sauce 🙈 Thanks again for the save!We will definitely be back 👍

Having eaten in Cinnamon club in Westminster where the food is great.What disappointing food. The food was so mediocre Ive had better Indianmeals in my local Indian, no wonder the place was empty I will certainly not be going back or recommending it.

I visited for lunch and had excellent service with fantastic food. The best samosas ever.

Ambiance was lovely but as another reviewer mentioned, the service truly let this place down. Despite being there for 4 hours, our interaction with staff was minimal, and not in a good way. They were notably inattentive, and after removing our mains dishes, nobody came to clean our table, refill our water or ask if we wanted dessert or anything else to drink, until we finally flagged someone down to pay the bill and left.The food was okay - we recommend the samosa chaat as a starter. But overall not the most interesting or exciting Indian food around by a long shot. We also ordered cocktails and these had lost their chill by the time we received them, and we had to ask for ice.My review echoes what a colleague told me about her experience here when she heard I’d booked, so it seems to be a running theme. Hope these issues can be turned around as it’s got potential, but isn’t quite hitting the mark at the moment.Not sure if they’re understaffed, undertrained, or maybe both, but it’s management’s responsibility to rectify.

Not impressed. The portions are small and overpriced. If the quality was good you probably wouldnt mind, but it just gives you a feeling youre being cheated. The waiting staff couldnt explain the menu and were a bit haphazard at best. I left feeling disappointed.

Lovely meal last night for a birthday. 5 courses, all delicious - tender meat, great flavours, lovely dessert. Friendly and efficient service e. E

Good quality food and fairly priced for level of restaurant .

Lovely place in a new cool, trendy area. The food was excellent as was the ambiance. Great decor too.

Lovely experience would highly recommend. Food was delicious and the staff were excellent.Enjoyed the nine dish tasting menu and complimentary chickpea cake from the chef.

Good food but high noise level.

Had a table for two near the kitchen which make us smells like cooking.Menu was so short and no much vraity.This place is not indian by any means.Strong flavours mixed together and gives inedible food.The cauliflower was soggy.THE BITTER MELON es horribelThe lamb with paperkia was fine but nothing speical.The corrgate was just ok but doesnt work with mango sauce.The best dish was the steamed rice.OverpricedWill never go back !!!!!!

The best thing about this restaurant is the naan breads. They are insanely good. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. Fresh and full of flavour. However, if I was to come back here again, I would have to order one for myself and one for my waiter who unfortunately was running around all evening, with barely any respite due to the restaurant being understaffed.We arrived at 8pm, excited to dive into a contemporary take on a classic curry. We began our evening with a pint, and immediately ordered as we had already decided online what we wanted. 1 hour later, no update. After a polite questioning as to where our starters were, the front of house was very apologetic and ensured us that we would be served soon. 2 minutes later, our starters were there. Had they been told left on the hot plate for about 45mins? Probably.The mains weren’t much faster. They arrived 30mins later, which again was a bit disappointing. We had started the night sitting outside but as the temperature dropped over such a long time, we decided to move in. The food that arrived was cold and pretty disappointing. The lamb had potential, and was cooked well - but very overpriced. The portions were very small, and did not fill me up at all. The butter chicken was bland and tasteless, I could not tell you the difference between that and a generic packet meal.In conclusion, my 1* review comes down purely to poor management. This is not an issue with the staff. They are clearly under resourced, as the owners are focusing too much on profit margins, as opposed to providing a good customer experience. The waiters recognised the wait for the food was dreadful. They were apologetic and remorseful but they are not at fault. My quarrel is not with them. The food is far too overpriced and the portions far too stingey. I will not be returning.

Even after booking a table we had to wait 15 minutes to be seated.Service was really bad, I had to constantly ask for the items again as they kept forgetting. Also our food took ages to arrive.Staff were not that friendly.And food was ok, but better Indian restaurants in my opinion!

Mediocre. Slow service that when they did arrive, wanted to leave before taken order. Food was pretty tasteless, lamb chewy and pretty pricey.There is a reason why it was half empty compared to the rest of the restaurants last night. One should have realised.

Lovely place with open kitchen amd nice decor. Good spicy food. The lunch menu was very well paced leaving some time between courses for a relaxing long meal. Great cocktails too.

Nice place. Looks small from outside but goes quite deep. Service was attentive and nice. The food was decent. Hit the spot. Biriyani was a little dry but tasted nice. Loved the fact thet dont add service charge as thats one of my biggest bug bears adding discretionary service charge and then having to argue to take it off. 4 stars because I think its abut pricy for portion sizes and some of the food came it really fast which was worrying.

This has got to be one of the worst dining experience of our entire lives as we regularly dine out as friends…. The chicken was as tough as my Nan’s slipper, the crab cakes were incinerated beyond recognition and as for the lamb saddle, it actually did resembled a real saddle.. the Pollock had been frozen and reheated and slapped in amongst unrecognisable jizz… all this for £150 ???? Please avoid…

Definitely going to become a regular here..... Everything from the drinks to the pudding was fantastic.... Only been open a couple of days and the service was really good as well.

Some excellent food but some variable in quality. Good service, small portions.

Tried a couple of appetizers - Spice crusted lamb fillet with tomato salsa and smoked paprika raita, keema litti with anchovy chutney - both were delicious. Hot chocolate mousse dessert also wonderful. Staff were ok

The food was delivered quickly and tasted great, and I highly recommend the sorbet as it tasted amazing!

Food was nice. The atmosphere was great for a drink too. I went there when they had a opening promotion and was really happy about all the dishes and services but a little bit pricey in comparison to portion.

Table booked for 8, we stood in the doorway for 10mins, eventually we’re plonked down (not at our table). 8:32 we finally get asked what we’d like to drink after having to go and get someone to take our order. Who knows when we’ll finally eat and at this stage it doesn’t matter how good it is, this place is terrible!

Amazing meal and service on the first day out of lockdown. Andrea was a great server and felt super comfortable there!!

Good food, great service, okay wine. But very enjoyable overall and would go back

Aubergine for starter was fantastic, lamb curry was incredibly spicy for me (I can only take mildly spicy food - I was warned when ordered, so should have listened) so I mixed it with dhal curry then I could enjoy it. Dhal curry itself was very nice, too. Service was perfect and I will go back there again.

What a great surprise founding this restaurant. Very warm and welcome place, friendly staff and great food. We had the buffet option.

Delicious Indian food!!Highly recommendable

Excellent restaurant the food and service was very good, try the Rassam mussels

The food was very very good. A lovely dining experience a must visit for any Indian food lover.

Went to dinner and ate the 9 course sharing tapas menu. Fantastic value £33 each with a glass of wine. The food was delicious and large portions. Restaurant was very busy, and service was a little Ricky at the beginning but after initial frustration, everything ran smoothly. Totally recimmend

Enjoyed the food attentive staff good atmosphere

My wife and I went for dinner on Saturday evening and had the 9 course tasting menu. The food was superb and really good value at £33 including a drink! The restaurant itself is tastefully designed and the atmosphere was good. Couldnt fault the service. Will be back again and would definitely recommend!

An unforgettable night ;)

My boyfriend and I attended one of their soft launch nights. First up, the staff were wonderful -super friendly. One of the warmest greetings I have ever got at a restaurant! The service was a little slower toward the end, but it was a soft launch - so ironing out the kinks - I get it! The food was really good, and it was lovely to see the open kitchens. My main wasnt my favourite (I had the pollock), but that may have been because I had food envy of my boyfriends steak which was amazing! Overall a really lovely evening and in pretty cool location to boot!

Went for the 9 course sharing menu, really good value for what you get and the food was delicious. The first half of the menu came out in good time, but then had to wait over 30 minutes for anything else to come out. The restaurant so unbelievably hot everyone was fanning themselves down with menus, we had to leave for air multiple times. Another 10 minutes later and the air con units start gushing water all over the restaurant, at this point we just wanted to leave so got the rest of the food to take away. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, however the maitre d was uninspiring, he should try smiling a bit. Would consider coming back as the food was great.

Excellent food and service including veggie options and great value set lunch. The cocktails were pretty good too!

Really lovely food and the portions were absolutely spot on. Our main server was lovely, eager to help. They just need a couple of extra staff so that they can make it a better experience.

Excellent food. Really nicely cooked. We had a birinani and butter chicken. More of an evening place, really. They could do with having a lunchtime menu, with some fixed price options.

I dined at the restaurant with a friend on 8 October. We had been looking forward to the meal because of the reputation and history of the restaurant/owners but sadly we were both disappointed by the experience. Despite the lack of poppadoms and pickles (they dont serve them), the starters were relatively tasty but it was the mains that really fell short of the mark. I had the mini aubergine curry and my friend had the paneer curry. Both were desperately lacking in flavour and the aubergine dish in particular was more like a stew than a curry. I requested some pickles to try and liven up my meal but was given a sweet tomato chutney instead. I was also annoyed by the tiny portion of rice that was served with my curry as it was not even close to being enough. I asked our waitress for a bit of extra rice but she forgot about it and my meal was cold before it eventually arrived. I was really surprised that this prestigious restaurant would serve us two overpriced and ultimately disappointing meals but, unfortunately, that was the case. Not impressed.

The restaurant its self is very nice. Atmosphere is too busy, can hardly hear each other speak. Menu very small not a lot to choose from but the food was nice regardless. Probably wouldn’t come again but not a bad experience.

Good food and good service. Open plan kitchen so you can see all the prep going on.

The place looks beautiful and the staffs are extremely friendly and nice. Although I felt the food did not satisfy me at all. This could be improved in many ways. I had to go to another restaurant to complete my dinner. Sam was a lovely face to the restaurant, very helpful and had a great smile to greet customers.

The staff are really lovely, the food is fantastic (especially the chilli paneer!) and the wine is great. What more do you want?

I was super excited to try Cinnamon Kitchen after seeing it on masterchef, the food looked beautiful. Unfortunately our visit was a massive letdown! We were sat for 20 minutes before anyone came to our table, at which point I asked a server for the eat out to help out menu. He looked extremely irritated, then got the menu, still didn’t take a drinks order and proceeded to flit around our table, serving people who had arrived long after us, wiping tables etc for another 30 minutes. We finally got the attention of another waiter to take our drinks order. They came prompt enough, and the starters were lovely but the main (aubergine) was tasteless and disappointing, with hard rice. The creme brûlée pudding was meh. Won’t be back or recommending to anyone! Shame

This is a review of their weekend lunch menu. The restaurant is an attractive space within brick railway arches, and its a significant investment and a welcome addition to the new Battersea Power Station redevelopment. I really wanted to like this place, but the service, drinks and food all disappointed in some way (some of which may be teething issues, to give them the benefit of the doubt)The cocktails are needlessly gimmicky - the Manhattan contains tea, which only adds a bitter taste, the Mezcal drink is served in two separate cups that you take alternating sips from, the G&T boasts tropical flavours but uses a non-brand “infused” Gin and has no garnishes except for a wedge of lime.Theyre still new so the service was patchy as expected - long period where nobody came to our table, inadequate explanations of the menu etc.The starters were the highlight of the meal - especially the Samosa Chaat. My main was very disappointing, a somewhat soggy piece of Pollock served on a bed of bland yellow daal. The dinner menu might be different, but at lunch time this place punches below Masala Zone.

I went to Cinnamon Kitchen during the opening week and the 50% off offer so the restaurant was fully packed and we had to wait 5 minutes for our table to be ready which wasnt that bad considering the number of people in the restaurant.For appetisers we ordered the lamb fillet which was phenomenal; the bream ceviche which was ok and the cauliflower and was surprisingly good - so that was a good start and were looking forward to having our main courses.We waited for around 30 minutes and still not main course so I asked the manager about i and he kindly went to check for us; apparently they ran out of Kale Kofta and that was the delayed so he apologised and brought us two glasses of champagne; which I thought was a good wait to apologise; when the food finally arrived, we were glad we waited for the Kale Kofta as it was delicious; we also had the tandoori chicken and was good but we have had better in other restaurants so it was a mixed main course.Now for puddings, we had the lassi panna cotta (outstanding) and the sticky toffee pudding (good).Our waiter was a bit nervous and slow so we assumed it was his first job; the manager on the other hand (I forgot his name but he is from Budapest) was excellent, friendly and attentive so overall it was good experience and we will coming back soon.

Amazing cuisine ... probably some of the finest flavours Ive ever tasted. The location and restaurant itself is well designed. We went for an early supper so it was not too busy. Staff are lovely and service was really good. Lovely waitress called Amelie.

Very grateful we where accommodated as arrived with more people than expected. I was excited to attend after seeing the restaurant on Master chef, however I was disappointed by the presentation and portion sizes. The desserts where also disappointing. Maybe as it was eat out help out they where cutting back....?

Very accommodating and friendlyI was so full after! Good portion sizes!

Went there as a walk in and was told to come back after twenty minutes when a table would be available. Came back and then was made to wait another 40 minutes! If they know they are not going to have a table for an hour they should just say so at the beginning. Very limited vegetarian options to eat from. Kadhai paneer was great but I doubt I will be going back here again without the 50% deal on at the moment. I have been to the cinnamon kitchen in Liverpool street which was much better, had more choice for vegetarians and had a more formal ambience.

We opted for the 9 course sharing menu and the food was absolutely sublime; loads of variety, really tasty, great quantities and good value - we were more than satisfied with the food!However, the same cant be said for the service. When taking our order our waiter attempted to rush off without even asking if we wanted to order drinks or offering us water (bearing in mind it was over 30 degrees still outside). It then took two subsequent requests for our wine to arrive by which point the 2nd course was already on the table. We were also sat next to the till with which in principal, I have no grievance, but finished plates (with leftover food) were left next to the till from another table when we were eating which isnt appetising at all. And probably most importantly, although the waitstaff were wearing visors/masks when serving customers, when they were then at the till (closer to us than we were to each other across the table) some would raise their visors, completely defeating the point of wearing them in the first place.Judging by the other reviews we seem to have had an abnormal experience of the service, but despite the genuinely delicious food, I doubt well be rushing back.

Food was absolutely fab but service was slow to get started. Had to ask twice for our water and had to catch attention to give our food order. When food arrived the space between courses was perfect and service was then very good. Ordered the sharing menu for 2 people and food was delicious and plentiful. Would definitely return.

How could this small piece of rice bread be counted as main plate!? But the worst is we waited 1h20 minutes for it! Place to avoid !

The food is awesome in this restaurant. The staff are the best!!! I turned up on valentines night without a booking. They were fully booked. Invited me in to have a drink at the bar, 30 mins later they offered me a table and I had a meal. The barman/mixologists is as passionate about the drinks as the head chef is about the food. Brilliant. 5 stars is not enough.

Very mediocre. menu is not broad enough and can hardly hear eachother speak. the location is nice though

Wonderful food! Well worth heading to Battersea just for this place. Wonderfully layered flavours, not too heavy, but still packing a flavour punch. You know somewhere is good when youre still eating and already planning your next visit.

Amazing food!Birthday lunch. We enjoyed the food. The staff was friendly and excellent service.Definitely will recommend this lovely place. Good price, amazing atmosphere.

The food was excellent. Two fine currries. Very interesting mango mocktail included as part of the menu. Then to finish, a fine white chocolate creme brûlée that a French restaurant would be proud of. The only thing I would say is that the service was somewhat slow, and the waiter seemed to spend a considerable amount of his time not wearing a mask. If I were certain all staff were wearing masks at all times, I would definitely consider visiting again as the food really was excellent.

Fantastic place for a unique Indian food experience. Waiters are extremely welcoming.

The food was very tasty and different which we liked. The flavours were combined very well. Our waiter Andrea and the Hungarian manager were very friendly and nice would recommend !

We had gone there on Christmas day. The entire staff was extremely welcoming and the special menu was exceptional. We really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Very poor experience. Smashed door at entrance and no one to seat us. Food average but very bland service and atmosphere.

Poor service, main course was served after waiting for 1hr 15 after the starters were served. we had ordered 3 rotis they bought 1. So we were waiting for another 20 mins for the rotis.. By then the dishes we ordered got cold... Currys were very spicy we were not asked if we need it mild or hot.. For the kind of price we paid poor taste and poor service. Very disappointed..

So I’ve been here a couple of times now with various friends, always mid week. The food is excellent, it’s high end Indian/English fusion. I will say when they get busy the service does slow down... However the manager Antal more than makes up for it with his charm, warmth and generosity. Taster menus excellent value for money and generous portions too. Always a lovely night when I go.

A few mixed experiences here. First time were offered the expensive menu, shorter menu.When we asked asked for the other menu, they brought it out. They operate 3 different menus? Food was ok, had much better for the price. Service was average also.

Brilliant food good price would definitely come back

The Indian restaurant is excellent, amazing kitchen, they have the best naan bread I’ve ever eaten. There is a very neat and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is very professional and also very nice. I’ve had a very special night thanks to the staff, from the Manager Andrea, Francesca to Massimo with his amazing cocktails

After cinnamon Soho closed I was so delighted to find out about cinnamon Kitchen.The location is amazing especially since all the new developments.But lets be honest I went for the food which doesnt disappoint.I LOVE the food here!I am a vegetarian and I had a lot of choice and everything was SO tasty.

This is a lovely venue under the arches, oozing with style and chic simplicity. Starters were petite but beautiful, and the mains innovative and extremely tasty. Keenly priced menu and a robust wine list. All round a delightful restaurant of fine dining modern Indian food. If you are looking for a curry house, this aint it.

This is Indian served Tapas style, and the tasting menu is the way to go. As the dishes are very different from other Indian places navigating the menu is pot luck. But the tasting menu was a great way to discover the food on offer. There were moments when we thought there wasnt going to be enough food, but were pleasantly surprised by the end of the meal. The portion sizes varied massively from dish to dish, and dishes like the curry were small while others which you would normally think of as a starter were large. Overall the food was of an excellent standard and very tasty.

Excellent food and great to be greeted back from lockdown with a warm welcome.

Absolutely outstanding food. Perfectly sized portions and delicious. A bit of a jewel in the Battersea crown. Will definitely be coming back.

I have made the mistake of ordering 3 times from Cinnamon Kitchen. Twice pre lockdown and once today. I suppose I should have learnt from previous experiences.On every occasion the food has arrived over an hour later bearing in mind that I have placed an order at least 3 hours prior to the designated delivery time. The food arrives cold and unpalatable. Today when I called to complain about late delivery I was told to raise the issue with Supper who are the delivery company. This is totally unacceptable as I placed the order through Cinnamon kitchen website which took me directly to Supper that I assume is their preferred delivery company. This kind of service in London is pretty poor considering that there are plenty of other restaurants serving great food that you can order from and that it at least arrives!

We found this restaurant by accident as we live in the building adjacent to the power station. What a lovely accident this was.The food is the best we have had in years. The service and ambiance superb. But the star of the evening was certainly the food. Every course was a delight. Even the humble Roti was delicious.We look forward to going again since we did not get a chance to try the desserts.Highly highly recommended. Best Indian food this side of Delhi

Excellent food Excellent waiters excellent atmosphere even in these new time

Great spot. Almost perfect.

Fabulous food and outstanding service, can’t wait to go there again. They were very accommodating to my allergies too

Out with 7 friends and decided to go in this restaurant in Battersea without a prior reservation and they were very accommodating. We all enjoyed the food, very tasty, could have ate more but the food was delicious, staff were polite and helpful.

Tasty food BUT overpriced, small portions (came out hungry with main course and side naan), slow service and waiters absolute not interested in their job or clueless.

Walked in for a birthday dinner at 8:30 pm (website says open until 11) After standing ignored at host stand for a few minutes the bartender motioned us towards the back. Then the manager rudely told us that “they were closed and couldn’t seat us” while the staff bickered among themselves. Finally we were offered a table but again very rudely told we had to order immediately and only main courses because the kitchen was closing (again it was 8:30). We felt very unwelcome and decided to go elsewhere, which they seemed very happy about. Would NOT recommend and we will NOT BE BACK. Live in the neighbourhood very displeased.

Love the place & food! Make sure to book your table at weekend dinner . After you finish your meel you can Go for a nice walk around the River or the Battersea Park, daytime. They also serve nice Brunch at weekends. Suitable for families, groups or couples 💖

Superb tasty food, you won’t eat this anywhere else, true dedication to delivering new concepts to those eager for something different. Exceptional balance of savoury and spice, the enthusiasm of the staff complements the quality of the kitchen staff. Nice to find this gem close to the hotel.

Amazing food. We went for the 9 set taster menu. the food was tasty, light, not oil or stoggey. So many different flavours and tastes. Portion size was big for a tester menu. would recommend any one to go and try Indian push nosh. Worth the money.

Love near the Battersea complex and decided to check out the cinnamon kitchen there. The staff were lovely and we had a reasonable set meal. It was a Monday night and may have more patrons in later on the week, so the atmosphere lacked some buzz

Think that perhaps this was their trial by fire. Super busy guyfawkes weekend. I know the development is still quite a secret, so for sure this would have been their busiest ever service. Still, they would have known that and they were vastly under prepared.Arrived at 9pm and had second to last course at midnight. So ridiculously slow.. cocktails were very poor, service was slow but panic stricken. They ran out of tequila for my cocktail, so the tattoo covered barmen came back and asked me to choose something else, huffing that I was taking too long to choose something..Food was very tasty and unique when I did arrive. Pity, they missed the opportunity to wow all the newcomers and instead left all with a bad taste. Not going back..

Check your bill, some sneaky differences in prices from what the menu says. Fairly expensive anyway.

It was ok, the place is fancy and im sure on a weekend its very busy. The food was some sort of Indian fusion, not exactly what I wanted but good. Friendly staff. Its a good/nice place and the location is great but I was looking for something more traditional on that day so I am not the best judge.

Great food! A little different fare from what I expected but delicious.

Nice ambience reasonably priced food

Myself and two friends went for lunch on Good Friday. The food was excellent, as was the service we received . We were looked after by the Manager, Anton, who could not have been more attentive and professional.We would definitely recommend this restaurant and would go back.Thank you Anton for your kindness.

Indian fushion. Well done for trying something different, but I didnt like the taste of the food at all.

Wouldnt call it Indian - its more like Indian-inspired. Everything was spicy, which is fine, but at £17-24 a plate, neither the taste nor refinement was there. It wasnt particularly bad either, but given limited menu and very high prices you can do a lot better in London.
