As you probably know, it's in the old Westminster Library building (located near Westminster Abby), which is a treat in and of itself...

I think The Cinnamon Club opened in 2001; I went there initially because the wine guy, Laurent Chaniac (still buying wine for CC!) came from the Stafford Hotel, where I stayed on a regular basis for about 20 years when I was working over here.
I've dined there about 6 times, give or take. The food has been consistently excellent, although it's now getting pricey, even for "upscale
Indian." Last night's dinner tells the story: Mindi started with a Welsh lamb appetizer with Indian spices, following that with a grilled sea bream
with a chard compote and vermicelli mound. That may not sound Indian, but the chef has a mastery of Indian spices that make it all come together. I started with rabbit tikka (this is not a typo!) with a chili dipping sauce. Delicious! The coup de grace was my "red deer" venison dish. The slices of venison were atop a cumin flavored béarnaise-type sauce and sat next to a meaty, crunchy samosa. But the star dish was a side of sangri beans! We first had these beans in Rajasthan and have NEVER seen them on a menu in London, NY, or DC! They were fabulous - a not to be missed treat.
There you have it!...................William Gardner
