The restaurant is called Cinnamon Club because I wanted a name that English people could pronounce. Cinnamon is an Indian word that is very common in Britain, so people understand cinnamon. And the word “club"，because this restaurant looks like a club. So the two together work very well here. We're open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Monday to Friday, Saturday lunch and Sunday dinner. I wanted to open a restaurant that was very different from the kinds of restaurants that we'd seen in the past. This building was originally a library, one of the first libraries in London which was built in 1894. It took two years to change it from a library to a restaurant. My plans with this restaurant are to open more in different cities. So London is the base. The first restaurant is here. I want to take the restaurant to other cities, so I'm currently looking in Dublin, in New York, in Paris, and eventually in Bombay, and taking Indian food back to India, where most of my relatives still live.C.
