This place is such a hidden gem. I got lamb spicy vindaloo and it was amazing!! Super tender meat and good spice level. Basmati rice was an additional $6 but it came in a big portion and was really yummy. There was also a starter which were these crunchy chickpea flour roll things? Not sure but it also had a dip sauce which we loved. Beautiful interior and kind staff. Check this place out!

Cumin remains one of my favourite indian restuarants. The food is so good. My only grievance is that since we first started going pre-covid, we noticed a big decline in the amount of chicken that comes with the butter chicken. At this point, there are only few pieces of chicken in a big sea of butter chicken sauce. The taste of everything is exceptional though which is why I still love it.

The food is excellent! Great portions and very flavourful. The chicken 65, macha tandoori’s chicken, and the butter chicken were great. The salad was a little bland but everything else solid.
