Just finished my meal here with my husband it was amazing. Not one bad thing to say about anything I ate. We tried out the chicken momo, paneer pakora, a chicken biryani, and the grilled chicken tikka. That and a bunch of the sides (raaita for sure) was way too much but we cleared it all because it was so good. 10 stars!

Great place for Nepalese / north Indian food, especially for vegetarians and vegans. Flavors are great, service is quick and attentive. Love the lamb naan.

The food was very disappointing. The Chicken Momo's came out COLD, without flavor. I ordered the Okra, which was slightly undercooked in addition to being under seasoned. The bathrooms had a yucky smell that one would expect from a fast food joint, or somewhere less upscale. Overall, very disappointing experience, especially given the price and recognitions this place has received. Ultimately, my experience was being served food that I would be ashamed to serve to someone else.

Ordered delivery. Tandori was good. Eggplant was sour. Naan was underdone. Rice was extra. But the worst of the overall meh, was the “homemade ice cream” at $6 ea for 1/8-1/4C of old, freezer burnt, melted and refrozen ice cream. Look at what $12 gets you here. Ugh! Whatever good rep this place had is being squandered by apathy.

Cumin is a local favorite. Their food is absolutely delicious and service is always stellar. Tonight we split the baingan bharta and paalak paneer and both were phenomenal — incredibly flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend this awesome restaurant!

Limited options for vegetarians. I beg, vegetarians also deserve momos!
Food: Aloo Tikki - Crispy, could use more spices. Cabbage as garnish? Samosa - Oily, same filling as aloo tikki Vegetable Jalfrezi - Creamy, but there were big pieces of broccoli and cauliflower that could’ve been cut to the same size as the other vegetables!

Food is spicy as indian food but i also ordered onion kulcha and am having food from this restaurant since past year everything is good you guys need to start adding salt into breads like naan and parathas because without salt it’s tasteless

Overall mid Indian food compared to other places we’ve been to. For starters, they charge you for rice which honestly is a red flag in itself. What Indian restaurant chargers for rice? That’s the first time we have ever seen that and would bring each plate easily over $20 with rice included. Not worth it ever. The entrees were okay. I got the basic butter chicken which honestly was really good, but the Chana masala was lacking a certain flavor. Of course different regions have different recipes so maybe it just wasn’t our preference. Overall, worth skipping this place!
