Cinnamon Culture is a fine Indian dining restaurant. It is the perfect setting in which to sample contemporary Indian cookery.
Here you’ll taste tantalising homemade chutneys, delve into stunning starters and enjoy the kitchen’s breathtakingly creative plated main dishes, created with one eye on the traditional and another very much on current and up-and-coming trends. Unusually for an Indian restaurant, Cinnamon Culture places much of its focus on its dessert menu, allowing for further inventiveness in twisting together Eastern and Western ideas.

Let's start with the most important thing ... The food is amazing. It always is. Portion sizes are great- you can have a starter and a main and not feel too full. I always like to share dishes with whomever is at the table and the food at Cinnamon Culture is perfect for that. The restaurant is beautiful. Stylish. Doesn't get too noisy but isn't like a library either. Overall, the service was good. At times, the waitresses were a bit too quick running away from the table and we had to call them back but, it was such a minor thing. And I'm not really complaining. They seem to cater well for large groups as well as your standard twos and fours. If you haven't been, you've got to go.
