The critic dislikes the trend of ‘modern Indian’ cuisine becoming “more modern and less Indian”.

“[T]here is a lot of potential”, for this City offshoot of the Cinnamon Club, says the critic… “if the owners can fine-tune their act”.

“[T]he new City offshoot of [Westminster’s] Cinnamon Club”, has an appearance “less alluring” than the original, says the critic. Prices are on the high side, but he concludes that “you can eat very well”.
