Cinnamon Lounge

Some people believe that 'modern' and 'Indian cuisine' can't be spoken of together, but here's a restaurant that disproves such notions with enthusiasm and passion. Cinnamon Lounge, in Twickenham Road, brings you an array of dishes that do not mask natural flavours with a generous overdose of spices; instead they use the well known traditional ingredients in interesting and unconventional methods. The decor strays away from the typical curry house ambience to create an effect which is classical and luxurious.

The range of starters populating the menu is wide and comprehensive and it makes things easier if you choose one of the platters which offers an assortment of as many as eight different delicacies. From the main course, the options could include gosht shahi korma, tender pieces of lamb cooked in a rich cashew gravy. Cinnamon Lounge has a selection of draft and bottled beer, along with an extensive wine list, which accompanies the dishes with élan.
