The Cinnamon Collection

redefining the expectations of Indian cooking ever since. Vivek liberated Indian food from its traditional shackles and crafted a brilliant marriage between Indian flavours and western fine dining styles. The Cinnamon Club is now a benchmark for fine dining Indian restaurants around the world. In 2008, Vivek opened his second restaurant in London, Cinnamon Kitchen. Located in Devonshire Square – rather fittingly within the former warehouses of the East India Trading Company and a stone’s throw from London Liverpool Street station – the restaurant was the City’s first tandoor bar and grill and also includes the chic, spice-infused destination cocktail bar, Anise. 2016 saw the launch of Cinnamon Bazaar located in Covent Garden. Inspired by the hustle and bustle of ancient and modern bazaars from around the world, the restaurant blends Old World flavours with The Cinnamon Collection’s renowned modern Indian culinary style to create a unique cultural dining experience. At the end of last year 2017, Vivek launched the second Cinnamon Kitchen, his first restaurant outside of London, within the new Westgate development in Oxford. Not content with sitting still, the team then launched another Cinnamon Kitchen at Battersea Power Station in April 2018.
