Harden's survey result
Summary
“Big flavoured, modern Indian dishes” from an “interesting and different menu” win praise for Vivek Singh’s high quality duo: “a more affordable introduction to the Cinnamon Club’s cuisine”. The newer SW11 branch, “with service around an open kitchen in a lively railway arch” near Battersea Power Station is jollier than its longer-established City sibling, where “the décor is quite boring and service a tad patchy” (although the latter is also “pretty decent value in an area that has limited options for a weekend lunch”).
Summary
Vivek Singh’s “interesting and innovative” Indian duo still inspire their numerous fans with “delicious” Indian dishes; and the EC2 branch also has the benefit of a “lovely ‘outside’ space” (in fact within a large atrium) that’s “unexpected” given its Square Mile location. Its three-year-old sibling is within the new Battersea Power Station complex. Even some fans, though, have found both locations “less interesting that they were” of late, with incidents of “atrocious” service a particular drag on the general mood. Hopefully, this is a temporary post-pandemic blip – the historic performance here has been consistently good.
Summary
“Bright, interesting flavours” from an evolved menu that’s “delicately prepared” win a thumbs up for Vivek Singh’s “well-appointed” duo of modern Indians. The original, inside a large atrium within a City development, benefits from a big ‘outside’ terrace; its two-year-old sibling occupies a railway arch within the new Battersea Power Station development.

Cinnamon Kitchen Battersea Restaurant Diner Reviews
"If you're in the mood for some delicious Indian cuisine, then Cinnamon Kitchen in Battersea is definitely worth a visit. The restaurant is situated in a prime location and has a stylish, contemporary decor that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. One of the standout features of Cinnamon Kitchen is the menu. It offers a fantastic range of Indian dishes that are cooked to perfection. The starters are especially noteworthy, with options like the tandoori paneer tikka and the chicken 65 being particular favorites of mine. The mains are equally impressive, with a range of curries, biryanis, and tandoori dishes to choose from. The service at Cinnamon Kitchen is also top-notch. The staff are friendly and attentive, and they go out of their way to make sure that you have an enjoyable dining experience. The restaurant also has a great selection of drinks, including some excellent cocktails that are perfect for a night out. Overall, I would highly recommend Cinnamon Kitchen in Battersea. The food is exceptional, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting.
