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.

Food, ambience and overall experience was good however service for high end restaurant was not great. We arrived early for a drink at their bar but sat waiting for 20mins plus to order a drink. Worse still other guests arriving after were seen too before my wife and I. At the table with our friends our experience of service was not great. As food was served we asked what each dish was and the waiter said he didn’t know but would check!!! At the end of the meal we were asked if we wanted deserts and after saying no the waitress then gave us menus which was confusing to say the least! Would I go back yes for the food but service does need improvements!

Delicious food but sadly the poor service and cocktail let them down. We had to wait 45mins before our order was taken and they were not that busy and my cocktail was about two thirds of a cocktail and was not cold enough. We had to ask for the wine list and water multiple times and unless we actively chased the waiting staff there was not much activity at our table! The food was excellent.

booked dinner for 4 on Friday the 14th Feb. The staff were very attentive and helpful. It was set menu where there was ample choice for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians and generous portions. The food was well presented and tasty without being over spiced. would defiantly recommend this restaurant and would take the family there again.
