    The restaurant is in the back street of covers garden, the staff was lovely, the atmosphere was delightful. The food was ok and not super special as I expected and the portions are small and it’s pricey. I went there a few years ago and the food was much better. I had a light lunch so only ordered two dishes. I was straggling to find a high protein fishes on the menu as I eat law cabs. For dinner you need may be 5 dishes each and even with a non alcoholic drink that would cost around £80 per person. All in all I enjoyed my visit but will go somewhere else next time.

    I had an absolutely delightful experience From the moment I walked in, the ambiance set a warm and inviting tone, with soft lighting and Gardening décor that felt cozy yet elegant. The staff was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu.(shout out to Tanvir and Amrita) I started with the Hakka aubergine stir fry , which was fresh and bursting with flavor. For the main course,Xacuti Chicken was cooked to perfection – tender, flaky, and beautifully complemented by the goan chili sauce and Garlic Bread .The dessert, a toffee Pudding ,was the perfect ending to a memorable meal.I also appreciated how they tailored recommendations based on my preferences, making the experience feel personalized.Overall,cinnamon bazaar Covent Garden offers top-notch food, impeccable service, and a charming atmosphere. It’s definitely a place I’ll return to and highly recommend to others!

    Booked through TheFork, applied offer- discount of £50. It wasn’t very busy on our arrival but we did wait a while for our orders to be taken. Food arrived quickly. Portions are not for big appetite, prices are quite high. We had pork belly with naan and prawns with rice, for desert crème brûlée and triple leche cake plus some beer and a glass of Prosecco. When our bill was delivered the £50 off wasn’t applied. We asked for correction, had to ask waiting staff couple of times for the bill, eventually it got delivered along with a comment that “your booking has been cancelled by TheFork”. When I said “no, it hasn’t been cancelled” and showed on my app that it’s ongoing booking they tried to say that it’s happening sometimes but they managed to apply the discount manually. It never happened to me over 2 years using TheFork. It would have a positive experience but it left bitter taste to it and I don’t think I would be back to Cinnamon Bazaar again.

    Went for a late lunch yesterday. It was nice and quiet which we liked. We had the set menu which was great. The aloo tiki chaat was a little dry in the middle and next time I would ask for more sauce/yogurt on the side or a bowl just to give it that kick balance needed. Rest of the food was very nice. Really enjoyed the desserts and we got a free dessert on the house the rasmali cake which was so yummy so thank you to the lovely young guy who gave this to us and also found me the slice portion of the garam masala crème brûlée. The cocktails were amazing too. The service and food really good and will come back again. Thank you x

    Creamy butter chicken curry garnished with almonds and herbs, served with fluffy white rice, lentil dal, and naan bread.
    Warm chocolate pudding drizzled with caramel sauce, topped with crushed nuts, and accompanied by a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.

    I thought the service was great! Attentive but not too much. The food was yummy! The prawn curry and lamb rogan josh shepherds pie were standout favourites. And the wine we had was also really good. 1000% will be back again.

    Hearty lentil curry served with fluffy white rice, sautéed greens, a spiced meat dish, and a thick tomato-based sauce.
    Creamy ice cream drizzled with dark sauce, surrounded by tangy yogurt, topped with crispy chickpeas, fine sev, pomegranate seeds, and sweet chutney, all on a soft fried dough base.
    Creamy avocado-based dessert with berry sauce, topped with granola, blueberries, and dried raspberries.

    Chat starter was great. Lamb cannon main course was more like a starter with a few thin slices of lamb. Pistachio kulfi also disappointed - it tasted like an American pistachio ice cream with very little flavour and I couldn’t find any actual nuts or nut bits or nut textures in it.

    The food is delicious but the portion sizes are very small like tiny and the place is not suitable for larger groups crapping 6 people on a table for 4 even with 15 days prior reservations doesn't seem like a good idea but overall the staff and service was good.

    Food is sensational. Starters were fabulous. Mains: Shepherd’s pie is to die for. Malabar Shrimp Curry is the best I’ve eaten. Beef Curry is fantastic. Wonderful food. Highly recommended. Cocktails good too.

    We've been to this restaurant before, and its sister restaurant in Richmond, so we knew what to expect. The food is exquisite and full of wonderful flavours; spicy, but not excessively so. Service was good, but - silly point - the tables are so small, you can barely fit all the dishes on it. I ended up accidentally knocking a bowl on the floor because of the lack of space. Or maybe I'm just a clumsy oaf! The place was busy, but it had a nice family feel. Definitely recommended.

    The atmosphere is great and we know the food is delicious but the service was so slow. We had to wait for our drinks and chased the staff to bring them and again chased once our guest arrived. The starters were slow coming but delicious, the mains arrived promptly. We didn’t bother with puddings. It was pre Christmas busy but there were staff around, we weren’t in a rush but did feel ignored. However, the food is great, the aubergine starter really delicious as was the naan bread and no complaints about the other dishes.

    Atmosphere, decor, ambience and service from all the staff was excellent. They did not rush us. The high tea was mediocre. The portion size was small relative to the price per person. The food and masala tea was heavily spiced with cloves. The pani for the pani puri was just lemon juice with no taste of mint or pani masala. The paneer rolls and beet sandwiches tasted good.

    A lovely restaurant with a small menu where everything is done well. Two old boys who love a curry and are not sure that we have had better than this. My amigo had the Lamb Rogan Josh Shepherd's pie whereas I went down the veggie route with the Jackfruit. Absolutely top stuff. The aubergine starter was as good as it gets! Some good cocktails too. Also, the staff are very attentive and friendly, so I'd suggest it would good be a good stop off prior to the theatre. Everything was excellent and we will return.
