What Cinnamon Kitchen does

Cinnamon Kitchen is a UK-based modern Indian restaurant group operating as the principal branded dining concept under The Cinnamon Collection, founded in 2008 and now part of Boparan Restaurant Group. It runs three full-service restaurants — London City (Devonshire Square, in the former East India Trading Company warehouses), London Battersea (Battersea Power Station, Nine Elms), and Leeds (The Queens Hotel, City Square) — together with the Anise spice-infused cocktail bar at Devonshire Square. The group is led by Executive Chef & CEO Vivek Singh, a publicly recognized figure in Indian fine dining, multiple cookbook author, and recurring BBC Saturday Kitchen and Celebrity MasterChef presence, who functions as the brand's primary talent and creative asset.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining in-restaurant dining (à la carte, set menus, tasting menus, weekend brunch, and afternoon tea), private dining and corporate events (capacities from 16 to 150 covers across sites), takeaway and delivery through Deliveroo, UberEats, JustEat, and a proprietary click-and-collect platform built on Preoday, and a nationwide meal-kit DTC channel (bi-weekly delivery). Secondary revenue streams include gift vouchers sold via the Toggle platform and Vivek Singh's cookbook line. The underlying technology stack is standard restaurant infrastructure: OpenTable for reservations, Preoday for click-and-collect, and delivery aggregators; no proprietary platform or AI capability is disclosed.

Cinnamon Kitchen serves two primary customer segments — City professionals (business lunches, client entertainment, corporate events) and discerning leisure diners seeking elevated Indian cuisine — with a secondary event-hosting segment for celebrations and private hires. Pricing spans £25 anniversary set menus, £35–£40 regional-cuisine tasting experiences, £5 cocktail promotions, and à la carte mains from £15–£29. Geographic reach is UK-domestic across London and Leeds, with meal-kit distribution extending brand reach nationwide. The parent group (Boparan Restaurant Group) provides centralized procurement, compliance, and shared services across its 2,800+ employee portfolio spanning multiple restaurant brands.
