Girls Day Out In Cinnamon Bazaar and Winter Wonderland 2022

Hello everyone! In the month of December 2022, my sister and I had a special day out to have some food, take some photos and see new places. On Saturday 24th December 2022, we decided to go to Cinnamon Bazaar, a unique looking Indian restaurant as well as the all-famous Winter Wonderland. Was this a great way to spend the day?

What is Cinnamon Bazaar?

Cinnamon Bazaar is a modern Indian restaurant in Covent Garden. This contains Indian afternoon tea, desserts and many other foods. 

My Experience And What I Ate:

  • Cinnamon Bazaar was a beautiful restaurant that had these sky lanterns on the ceilings and the restaurant just had a pop of colour in it. 
  • The restaurant was posh and was quite pricey. 

Afternoon Tea (£27.50)

This afternoon had some of the best Asian classics! I took Indian Masala Chai, Pani Puri, the non vegetarian nibbles and for sweets, we had saffron macaron. 

The Indian Masala Chai was warm and just a wonderful chai to have in general. It had the nice brown Asian colour and was freshly brewed. I wished it was a bit stronger in flavour, and for that reason I would rate it a 3/5.

The Pani Puri for me was really delicious! It was a bit spicy and had the tamarind to add, but they were a little thinner than other pani puris. I would have to rate this a 3/5.

The Papdi Chaat ended up being one of my favourite dishes here as it contained the different textures. It was soft and creamy on the outside as well as a crunch on the golden bits. Overall, this had many flavours I could taste from this and o really enjoyed this snack so I would rate this a 4/5.

The Watermelon Chaat seemed like a very unique combination to me. It had a bright red colour. The Asian flavours were truly highlighted from the top due to chickpeas and the masalas and again, there was a good play in different seasonings. The watermelon gave some freshness. However, I still rate this a 2/5 just because I don’t think I like fruits in my chaats. 

The fish finger sandwich was better than I expected, yet it still had the smell of fish that I did not particularly enjoy. The Brad was soft and the colours were nice but due to the smell of the fish, I really would not want to eat this again. But this was expected as it is an Asian restaurant and I would rate it a 2/5.

The chicken rolls were quite delicious. They were very cute and small and they had a bit of a crunch from the outside. I enjoyed having these but I wish the portions were bigger of these. I would rate it a 3/5. 

Lastly, for dessert we had the macarons which were okay and I have tasted better macarons before. They were small and they had cinnamon cream inside. Overall, I would say that it was a 3/5.

What did I like about Cinnamon Bazaar?

  • The place itself was incredibly unique due to the vibrant, bright colours and the decoration on the ceiling. 
  • The service was good too and there was enough tables. The tables are a little small for the two seaters but we could manage.
  • You can take good photos here!

What didn’t I like about Cinnamon Bazaar?

  • The food was definitely a mix in the bag. Some of them were average, such as the macarons and others were delicious such as the pani puri and chaat. 

Would I Recommend It? 

I think Cinnamon Bazaar is a unique place to go and it does sell afternoon tea and some of the dishes stood out, however, I believe that it is not necessarily a must go place and I would only visit this place once. 

My Rating: 3/5

For the rest of the day, my sister and I went to Winter Wonderland 2022, which honestly, was a bit underwhelming. Things have definitely gotten more expensive now and the rides are pretty much the same but it is nice to go for the vibes and the photos. My sister bought me a postcard with our selfie on it as a nice memoir. But overall, Winter Wonderland is a must go only once in your life.
