About the Vibe
Cinnamon Bazaar brings the vibrant chaos of Mumbai's bazaars to Richmond, wrapped in Instagram-worthy pink walls and a menu that stretches from Kerala to Punjab. It's the posh cousin of the Cinnamon Club, but with more personality and a menu that actually makes you want to order three starters. The chaats are the real stars here—crispy puris that burst with sharp, sour fillings and dhokla that's light as a cloud. Skip the overly sweet rasmalai and go for the kulfi instead, or dive into the Malabar Kingfish Curry which will have you dipping until the last grain of rice is gone.

Modern Indian with Mumbai Soul
Cinnamon Bazaar is Richmond's latest attempt to bring authentic Indian flavors to the Thames, and honestly, it's working. The space is undeniably photogenic with its bold pink walls and bazaar-inspired decor, though it can get quite loud when the place is full. The service is friendly and relaxed, which helps balance the sometimes chaotic energy.
What really sets this place apart is the food. The chaats are a revelation—crispy puris filled with tangy, sweet, and savory elements that cut through the richness of heavier dishes. The Malabar Kingfish Curry is a standout, with generous chunks of fish in a gravy that's both meaty and light. Don't skip the kulfi for dessert; it's denser and more flavorful than regular ice cream, and the cinnamon and saffron flavors are subtle enough to appeal to everyone.
The cocktails are hit or miss—the Pretty Please is refreshing with its raspberry and elderflower notes, but some drinks feel like they're trying too hard. Still, this is a solid choice for anyone wanting modern Indian cuisine without the tourist trap feel. It's become a go-to for groups looking to share a variety of dishes, and the location on Kew Road makes it easily accessible from Richmond station.
