Reviews of Cumin

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.

I tried this restaurant for the first about a month ago and was absolutely blown away. Have been there multiple times since. It’s me and my girlfriends go-to and the owner gave us a mango lassi for free when we ordered last! Super friendly people and amazing flavors. The chicken madras, butter chicken, gulaab jaamun, and bhatura are some of the highlights of the menu.

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.
