Cinnamon Kitchen, the renowned modern Indian restaurant led by Executive Chef Vivek Singh, is set to open its first northern site in Leeds.
The restaurant and bar is launching in partnership with The Queens Hotel and will bring traditional Indian flavours with contemporary techniques to Yorkshire.
Vivek Singh has built up a reputation in the hospitality industry through his five restaurants and regularly appears on popular television programmes such as Saturday Kitchen and Masterchef.
Cinnamon Kitchen Leeds will take its inspiration from historic Indian railway first class waiting rooms, reflecting the site’s connection and proximity to Leeds train station.
The beautiful space will feature high ceilings, Art Deco elements, and a striking mural that captures the essence of India’s diverse landscapes.
The menu will take inspiration from the 2,355-mile journey of the Himsagar Express,
a train route that spans 12 Indian states.
Cinnamon Kitchen’s signature dishes will include Masala Grilled Salmon, Old Delhi Butter Chicken, and Lamb Roganjosh Shepherd’s Pie.
Vivek Singh commented, “We’re excited to be opening at The Queens Hotel, where
the heritage of this iconic railway hotel perfectly complements our vision. The
interiors are inspired by some of India’s most beautiful first-class waiting rooms, and
our menu takes diners on a journey through 12 diverse states.
“With Bradford celebrating its year as UK City of Culture 2025, it’s the perfect time to bring Cinnamon Kitchen to Leeds.”
Alistair Campbell, General Manager at The Queens Hotel, added, “Cinnamon
Kitchen is a fantastic addition to The Queens and to Leeds as a whole. The
combination of Vivek Singh’s expertise and the unique concept behind this
restaurant will bring something truly special to the city’s culinary landscape.”
The restaurant is currently recruiting for numerous roles including general manager and head chef.
