Cinnamon Spitalfields is an Indian restaurant at 134 Brick Lane, in the centre of one of East London's best known dining streets. The restaurant combines a contemporary, friendly atmosphere with the traditions of the local curry house. A street level dining room and additional space downstairs make it suitable for both spontaneous meals and larger gatherings.
The menu draws on Indian, Bangladeshi and balti cooking, beginning with familiar starters such as samosas, onion bhajis, kebabs and tandoori specialities. Marinades, fresh herbs and carefully blended spices create layers of flavour across grilled meat, chicken and seafood. Chutneys and cooling accompaniments provide contrast to the richer and hotter dishes.
Curries range from gentle, creamy recipes to tomato based sauces and more robust specialities with chilli, ginger, garlic and aromatic spice. Chicken, lamb, prawns and fish can be paired with balti, bhuna, biryani and house preparations, allowing diners to choose both their preferred ingredient and intensity. Vegetarian dishes based on lentils, chickpeas, spinach, aubergine and mixed vegetables broaden the selection.
Pilau rice, biryani, naan and other fresh breads complete the meal and are well suited to sharing across a group. Vegan and vegetarian choices help mixed parties order from the same broad menu, while takeaway provides another way to enjoy the restaurant's cooking. Cinnamon's central Brick Lane address and accessible range of classic dishes make it a convenient introduction to the area's curry house tradition.
