The starters were lovely, the main courses we had were lukewarm, the greens virtually cold… Very disappointing. The staff were very lovely and attentive.

The table service was kind and good and the food, as always, excellent. However, the service at the bar was poor. The bartender never left the bar so that it was up to guests to make their way to the bar, she did not leave serviettes with the bar snacks/dinger food so that we, and I noticed others too, had to get up to ask for it and empty glasses were cleared slowly. During previous visits, I found the bar staff to be more proactive, helpful and generally more professional.

Dear Wouter, Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent experience with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the table service and the quality of our food. However, we sincerely apologize for the shortcomings you encountered at the bar. Your observations regarding the bartender's attentiveness and the service of bar snacks are invaluable to us, and we will address these concerns with our team to ensure a more proactive and professional experience in the future. We appreciate your patronage and hope to welcome you back soon for an improved visit. Best Regards Team Cinnamon Club

An excellent and fun restaurant, even if one's not a devotee of Indian food. The waiters were extremely helpful with their suggestions. Noisy but the tables along the side should be quieter.
