Cinnamon Kitchen Battersea

The atmosphere is genuinely good and the space is well designed. The food presentation is excellent—everything looks impressive when it arrives. That said, the taste doesn’t live up to the hype. Overall, the food was average. While the garlic roti and tandoor roti were well made, and the biryani was decent, nothing really stood out in terms of flavour. Service was just okay—not bad, but nothing memorable either. In short, it’s a visually appealing restaurant with a nice ambience, but if you’re going purely for taste, it doesn’t quite justify the reputation or expectations.

I went to Cinnamon Kitchen Battersea with my friends for my hen party brunch, and it was a brilliant experience from start to finish. Our waiter, Kranthi, was friendly, attentive, and really made sure we had everything we needed. The brunch itself was fantastic value. We enjoyed dishes like hummus, beetroot, and Bombay eggs with prata (with the option of extra bread for a small charge). For mains, I had the salmon curry and lamb Rogan Josh, served with pilau rice, black lentils, and a bread basket full of fresh, piping-hot naan — some of the softest and tastiest I’ve ever had. The gluten-free ginger toffee pudding for dessert was a real highlight, and the pistachio coffee was the perfect finish. Drinks and the 12.5% service charge for large groups were additional, but we still left an extra tip for Kranthi because the service was excellent. The location is also a huge bonus — it’s right by the river, next to Megan’s at Battersea Power Station, with a free picnic area, a lovely river walk, and all the shopping inside the Power Station. It makes a great spot not just for celebrations, but also for families, couples, and friends to enjoy a day out. I’d highly recommend Cinnamon Kitchen Battersea for its food, service, and unbeatable setting.

Had a wonderful Indian afternoon tea experience here, the food was amazing and the service from Kranthi was exceptional, he was very attentive & gave my friend and I unlimited chai. We also didn’t feel rushed and ended up staying for 4 hours which was really lovely. They also adjusted the menu to cater to our preferences between meat and vegetarian which was so nice. Genuinely highly recommend coming here for an Indian afternoon tea and will be back myself 🤗
