Cinnamon Kitchen Brings Contemporary Indian Dining to Leeds

Acclaimed chef Vivek Singh is bringing his renowned modern Indian restaurant, Cinnamon Kitchen, to Leeds this May. Partnering with The Queens Hotel, the new restaurant will introduce Singh’s signature blend of traditional Indian flavours and contemporary techniques to Yorkshire’s vibrant food scene.

Located in the heart of City Square with direct access from Leeds Station, Cinnamon Kitchen Leeds will draw inspiration from historic Indian railway waiting rooms, reflecting its connection to travel and heritage. Designed by Studio Sorana, the space will feature high ceilings, Art Deco elements, and a striking mural capturing India’s diverse landscapes.

The menu takes its cue from the 2,355-mile journey of the Himsagar Express, spanning 12 Indian states. Signature dishes include Masala Grilled Salmon, Old Delhi Butter Chicken, and Lamb Roganjosh Shepherd’s Pie, alongside chaats and plant-based options. Exclusive to Leeds, the Seekh Kebab in the Hole and Yorkshire-inspired Curd & Cardamom Tart blend British and Indian flavours.

Complementing the dining experience, the bar will offer spice-infused craft cocktails, Asian beers, lassis, and non-alcoholic coolers, making it a destination for both dining and social occasions.

“Leeds has a thriving food scene, and we are excited to bring Cinnamon Kitchen to the North of England,” said Singh. “The Queens Hotel provides the perfect backdrop for our concept, blending tradition and innovation in both design and cuisine.”

Cinnamon Kitchen Leeds will be open for lunch, High Chai (afternoon tea), and dinner.
