One of my favorite places to eat in the neighborhood. I always get the lamb boti masala, it's one of the best I've had. They are always very nice to me when I go there. I definitely recommend it to everyone!

I could eat here every day of my life. I had the Mixed Vegetable Pakora, Chana Masala, and Vegetable Biryani, made vegan. It was so delicious. I can’t wait to come back to Cumin (and I hope they deliver to my house)!
August 2024
Ordered paneer chilli , tandoori roti, veg pakora, paneer pakora and chicken dish.
Overall food was good but very spicy and paneer pakoras actually didn't have much paneer but mostly potato and same with veggies pakoras less veggie and more batter.
