Get to know me...

Name: Alana Lucia Crisci Background: I love consuming, talking about and taking pictures of FOOD; For this I thank my fabulous, but flaming crazy, Italian/Spanish familia. I previously worked in investment banking & make-up. I found the beauty industry gave me back some of the creativity I had lost when I stopped studying Art, which I love and miss. I reckon a combination of brownies, music and fabulous friends saved my degree, from which I would have otherwise emerged with a broken soul. I was once going to be an actress, dahling, but when I started my Degree it was goodbye Hamlet, hello Hitler... Now: Let's talk food, let's talk culture, let's talk life.

Review numero dos, Cinnamon Club.

Cinnamon Club offers a refreshing menu of modern Indian haute cuisine. Its location at the heart of Westminster, means it's a great place to spot leading politicians (if politician spotting is your thing).

For the historians in you ALL, the restaurant itself is set in the beautiful grade II listed building, formally known as Westminster Library; providing an exquisite backdrop for the perfect lunch or dinner.

The Cinnamon Club is also committed to using local produce, in combination with old Indian recipes and ideas, which have evolved into a colorful selection of modern dishes and flavours. Do not let the Western style presentation fool you, its dishes are a truly masterful example of authentic Indian cuisine.

The menu at Cinnamon Club is simple but sophisticated, using simple ingredients with highly technical cooking, to produce great quality Indian food.

To start, why not try a grilled half of lobster with garlic and pepper butter? Then maybe Hyderabadi saddle of lamb with sesame and tamarind sauce, accompanied by black lentils and tandoor roasted aubergine? That's actually an order.

Set courses will cost you £22 pp, while mains will cost between £11-£29 pp, a good price for one of the only Indian restaurants providing this level of dining in London (I say 'one of' because I'm going to visit Cafe Spice Namaste very soon, after having been invited by the lovely Pervin Todiwala whom I recently met at The Clink Charity Fundraiser).

If Cinnamon Club sounds like the kind of place you like to try please feel free to utilize my concise but highly useful location deets as seen below.

Buon Appetito!

Address: Old Westminster Library, 30-32 Great Smith Street SW1P 3BU. Nearest tubes: St James's Park or Westminster.
