I had been to the other location "Cinnamon Bazaar" before and came away impressed, so decided to give this new location a try.

I should say, this is not traditional indian and more fusion or modernized as you wont find many of the classic curries on the menu: Nothing wrong with that though.

We decided to sample a few dishes, the Bombay Street Food, Vegetable Cake, and Char Grilled Cauliflower.  For the main course i had the King Prawns in tumeric curry.  All of these dishes were phenomenal, a true modern unique twist on Indian cuisine.  Definitely a must visit.

Cinnamon Kitchen is great.  It is more of a modern twist on Indian food in the Battersea area of London.  

They have a 9 course tasting menu that is 37.50 pounds per person which I found very affordable for what you were served. 

It came with a Mango sour cocktail.  It was phenomenal and I don't even like Mango.  So good, I actually ordered one.  I never would have tried it. 

Every single dish was great.  Standouts were the Tandoori Chicken Breast and the lentil dumpling.  

Definitely do the tasting menu while here.

Disclaimer, this is my first Indian meal in the UK. Gordon Ramsey devoted a whole series to this amazing eating culture. The cuisine which is a delicate dance of heat, sweet, sour, smoke.  When I think of Indian, I think of mouth blistering vindaloo, sublime dosas, smoky tandoori, complex curries, cool raitas, pungent pickles, and depths of flavor.  And im here as a tourist in search of great Indian bites.

We showed up at the shores of the cinnamon club and because they were "full" were suggested to this restaurant.  Maybe its a hustle who knows.  Anyway, after a taxi ride we arrived at this wonderful location.  gorgeously decorated restaurant and tasteful.  Great smells coming out of the kitchen and wonderful attentive staff.  The drink selection was also vey nice and everyone at the table liked their drinks.  However, the food.  This is not right folks...
... no, it wasn't horrible -the prawns were too salty- but that wasn't it.  The food was sad.  It was a travesty.  It was lost somewhere in a hipster vibe and a small bite.  It was Indian spiced and nothing else.  Forget the price!  The food was "bloody sad".  The kitchen is beautiful.  So how could this come out of the kitchen?  Disappointment on a plate. And in a city that should have such a high bar.  I felt like I was in a tourist trap but there are no tourists but my small group.  I had the lamb appetizer- ho hum.  Someone ordered the sea bream- he said it was good.  The chickpea gnocchi- a fried chickpea square in a mildy tangy sauce.  My tandoori chicken was moist but so plain.  The sauce underneath, indiscernible.  Again, the prawn over salted.  The biriyani- the same accompanying rice with a few additions, stuffed in a small pot, and baked. But this isn't Indian, its a shame.

Many words come to mind that I didn't have the courage to tell the great and helpful waitstaff- flacid, sad, so so, heartbreaking.  I lied to them when they asked me how was it- it wasn't their fault.  But my friends were not bothered.  First Indian food for one, another asked if there were noodles in Indian food.  I mean after all, we were headed to Cinnamon Club.  Maybe lunch is better, maybe they are new, who knows, maybe im being too harsh.  But this was disappointing and because my stomach and heart hurt from this place representing a food that is so beloved, I must write this review.  

So Cinnamon Kitchen, you get a five in hopes that others go here and review your food.  Hopefully, with some feedback you'll be encouraged to put some respect on Indian food!  Change up the menu, find a new chef, and get to your roots.  The location, service, and ambiance are great.  You get a five because this food has such a rich history that is absent from this restaurant and you could make this better.  You get a five because an app shouldn't determine success but be a helpful way to improve.  Please do better for your next guests.
