“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”
The lunch specials were great. Nice and clean and good service. Im going back for the vindaloo.
I try Indian food for 1st time today i went to Cumin Restaurant i got a Chicken Makhani / Butter Chicken, extra spicy, Aalu Tikka Pakora which are Seasoned mashed potato cakes and Naan / Butter Naan and it was so good.
This Michelin Bib Gourmand resto is excellent!!
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.
The food was very disappointing. The Chicken Momo's came out COLD, without flavor.
Ordered delivery. Tandori was good. Eggplant was sour. Naan was underdone. Rice was extra.
I ordered tandoori chicken, goat biryani, and butter naan through Uber Eats.

This Michelin Bib Gourmand resto is excellent!!! Their lunch menu is priced nicely but whats best is the quality of the food!! Ordered palak paneer and chicken tikka masala with basmati rice. Added a side of veggie samosa. The green and tamarind chutney sauce was exceptional! Definitely will be back for more nepalese indian cuisine.

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)!

All good. Hot summer morning breakfast in Chicago went by spending a savourful time at the restaurant with a cup of MASALA CHAI and a plate of VEGETABLE SAMOSA CHAT. MASALA CHAI tasted like simple CHAI without any masala but the VEGETABLE SAMOSA CHAT was filled with plate full of two samosas smashed and bathed with chat spices, peanuts and chutneys that proved to be a great brunch in the hot summer. The service was great and was completely managed with grace and empathy by Miss. Ruhi M. Thank you for having me.

“Honestly best biryani I've had in the City.”
Honestly best biryani I've had in the City. I come here often with my husband, and along with the mango Lassi's we recommend their lamb biryani. Keep in mind this is pakistani style biryani which is spicy unlike the Indian counterpart. So please ignore the other review about the biryani as I'm pretty sure they were expecting Indian style biryani.

“Some of the best Indian food we've had.”
Some of the best Indian food we've had. Each curry the group got was delicious, from the chicken to lamb to chickpea dishes. Mango Lassi was fantastic with a rich creamy fruit flavor.

“Service was excellent.”
Service was excellent. Food was on point and location wasn’t busy whatsoever. Ambiance was relaxing and quiet, good setting to have a date and conversation. Drinks - Pinot Grigio $9, Stella Artois $7

“Delicious Nepalese and Indian cuisine that’s well deserving of its Michelin rating.”
Delicious Nepalese and Indian cuisine that’s well deserving of its Michelin rating. Our favorite was the creamy coconut chicken madras and the spicy tomato-based pokhareli kukhura.

Delicious and fresh. Flavors burst in your mouth. Balanced and beautifully spiced. Can’t wait to try more dishes. We tried somosas, chicken momo, veggie byriani, chicken tikka masala, Chana masala, peas pulao. Outstanding.

We had the lunch buffet and it was fabulous. I've visited Indian restaurants throughout the country and this has been my favorite. Fresh and high end ingredients.
