“Very simple and delicious food .tastes like home food”
“The food is delicious! I’m allergic to lentils and everyone is super nice and accommodating! I wish I could order everything off the menu! 100% recommend going here if you are in Wicker Park!”
“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!”
“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!!! 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.”
“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)!”
“Great place for Nepalese / north Indian food, especially for vegetarians and vegans. Flavors are great, service is quick and attentive. Love the lamb naan.”
“Cumin offers a solid selection of Indian and Nepalese dishes in a spacious and comfortable setting. We ordered the chicken momo, Gorkhali Khasi (goat curry), tandoori chicken, Bhindi Masala (okra), and garlic naan - all very flavorful, with the tandoori arriving perfectly charred and sizzling. Overall, a good choice for a casual Indian and Nepalese meal in Wicker Park.”
“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.”
“DISGUSTED after CHOKING ON A COCKROACH in my delivery! Will never order from here again.”
