The Cinnamon Club celebrates 25 years with special nine-course tasting menu in Westminster

The Cinnamon Club, housed in the Grade II listed former Westminster Library in London, is marking its 25th anniversary with the launch of a special nine-course tasting menu. The commemorative menu, created by Executive Chef Vivek Singh and his team, will be available to diners from the 1st of February 2026.

The initiative seeks to celebrate the restaurant’s quarter-century at the forefront of modern Indian cuisine, showcasing both classic dishes and new creations that reflect the evolution of The Cinnamon Club since its opening in 2001.

The anniversary menu brings together the expertise of Singh and long-standing team members, including chefs Rakesh Nair and Hari Nagaraj. Dishes featured will include The Cinnamon Club’s signature Scallop and Tuna Ceviche Chaat alongside new offerings such as Rakesh’s Mangalore Stir-Fried King Crab Ghee Roast. The menu is priced at £125 per person, with an optional wine pairing available for an additional £85.

A notable highlight of the menu is Chef Singh’s Papa Tandoori Squab Pigeon, reflecting his long-standing approach of combining British game meats with Indian spices and cooking techniques. The centrepiece of the tasting experience is the Celebration of British Lamb, which features smoked tandoori saddle, Punjabi-style lamb mince, seekh kebab in roomali bread, and a Rajasthani curry, uniting a variety of flavours and culinary traditions.

The Cinnamon Club, under Singh’s leadership, has built its reputation on blending seasonal British produce with Indian spices, seeking to offer a refined take on Indian dining in the UK. The restaurant’s location in the historic Old Westminster Library has played a role in its identity as a place where heritage meets innovation.

Reflecting on the milestone, Chef Vivek Singh said: “A restaurant is more than the food on the plate – it’s the people who work here and the guests who come through the doors. Over the past 25 years, The Cinnamon Club has evolved, but our driving forces remain the same: curiosity, creativity, and an enduring desire to bring new experiences for our guests. I feel so lucky that even now – a quarter of a century on – we continue to push boundaries and elevate modern Indian food.”

The restaurant remains a flagship of The Cinnamon Collection, which operates several venues across London and beyond.
