Great food and service! 100% recommend trying the chili chicken momos and goat biryani!

Food was incredible in this small restaurant The worst part of the place is that they are understaffed The staff they do have hustled from tables to table I really enjoyed this place

Everything was expertly crafted—I really came here to encourage everyone to venture into the Nepalese section, with its less familiar items. Lots of warming spices and fiery flavors. Chase it with some mango lassi!

We have been getting carry out for 10 years from this place. It is by far our favorite over the other Chicago staples. We even feel like they’ve upped the taste and quality in the past 6 months.Can personally vouch for veggie samosa, chicken tikka, lamb saag, palek paneer and onion things.Seriously no need to go anywhere else

I tried the vegetable korma. It was honestly some of the most bland Indian food I have ever had the displeasure of eating. No spice or zazazoo. Rice was stale. I could not finish it. It made me sad :(

I've been going to Cumin for years, and its never disappointed. We went again yesterday and it was even better than any of our previous meals were... the flavor is complex, the spice level is perfect. I had Nepalese, my wife had Indian... both were delicious. I've had a far more consistent culinary experience here than I have had on Devon.

The place is simple but the food is incredible, a place where you can find typical Indian food, at affordable prices.

It may have somewhat fell out of favor of the crowds in the neighborhood, but the food is still top notch.

This place is always a hit for us and friends, whether you dine in or take out. Best butter chicken I’ve had in the city and the lamb sahi korma is a favorite.

Tried a dinner here for the first time and enjoyed my meal; but the staff here seemed drained and not extremely welcoming.The options are fairly standard meaning there aren't any combo dinner platters which would have made my meal choices much more exciting.The menus lists appetizers, main courses, biryani, and Naan breads ? and rice ? is all sold separately so this will make your complete order more expensive if you dine alone and don't have a dinner companion to share your main course with.I chose a mango Lassi which was extremely thick and delicious, a side order of basmati rice and a spinach and paneer (cheese cube) ? type of meal with curry that was quite filling. Honestly I really wanted to order Naan bread ? and samosas too but all of these items sold separately would be too costly and I wouldn't have been able to finish everything by myself anyway. Portions here were generous and I did take some leftovers home with me.Atmosphere here us casual and there weren't many tables. Staff didn't offer me more water and they weren't smiling ?Maybe their lunch specials are more economical but because the main courses here are pricey it becomes cost prohibitive to choose an appetizer. Perhaps they should consider offering half portions for their main courses for diners who come here alone so we can try more dishes and sample a variety of little plates and tinier portions.

Ordered a Shahi Lamb Korma and Chicken Momos. The korma was really good. Highly recommend. The Momos was a bit dry. Wish it was a bit more juicy. Overall a good experience. Will order again!
