The Cinnamon Club

I have to assume that some of the reviews on this page are about different restaurants. I have dined at the Cinnamon Club about six times obver the last two and a half years and have never had anything other than an excellent time.

Two nights ago we celebrated my parent's Ruby Wedding anniversary there and everyone was blown away by the food.

Sharing with my wife I got to try both the blackleg chicken and the tandoori squab pigeon starters - both were exquisitely spiced, melt in the mouth tender and just right on the portion-size, not overloading you before the main course as many restaurants do.

Although, again, everything ordered for the mains was stunning, special mention must be made of the hot and sweet king prawns with Alleppey curry sauce. Possibly the best thing done to a prawn, ever.

Throughout the meal, and indeed on the phone while booking, the staf were efficient, friendly and solicitous without ever being overbearing or obtrusive.

It is expensive but, considering the high standards and location, not overly so. It remains one of my top five restauants anywhere, let alone London and every time I bring friends and family here they come away converts.
