Went there for a colleague's birthday celebration lunch.

We'd booked a three course set meal with half bottle of wine per person through an online reservation site.

Upon arrival the maitre 'd told us that the restaurant was no longer running that offer and would not honour the wine as part of the set meal.

Although we were disappointed we decided to stay.The food was fantastic - every bit as good as the restaurant's big brother, the Cinnamon Club.

A la carte menu is pricey, and some may moan that it's shockingly expensive compared to currys found on Brick Lane, a mere stone throw away.

But, it's definitely worth it. As there was glorious sunshine, it was a refreshing change to sit outside on the terrace.

The major downside to the Cinnamon Kitchen was service. Perhaps it was teething problems with serving people on the terrace, but having one waiter for drinks, another for taking orders and yet another for serving didn't work.

We had to wait absolutely ages to place orders, and the aloof waitress nearby could only comment that it wasn't her job to take guests' orders.

After returning to the office, I contacted the online reservation site to complain that the Cinnamon Kitchen didn't honour their special deal.

The matter was dealt with quickly, and the manager of the Cinnamon Kitchen profusely apologised and refunded the difference immediately.

I would highly recommend the Cinnamon Kitchen for lunch as the food is outstanding. If you are pressed for time you may want to consider somewhere else.
