Cumin Club in Medway

delicious, authentic food, we have been coming here for 24years and it is our go to curry house! Archie is always so welcoming- thank you for another superb curry.

Would not recommend this Indian restaurant. Service non existent, two waiters for a Saturday night. Food not good, especially the lamb, it was so tough. Would never go back.

Never fail to have anything but good food from here and we have never had to wait very long for delivery. Always have had what we ordered without problems.

Poppadoms were a bit burnt and a very small portion of chips

Service was poor, waiting staff were abrupt and did not fill the base level fundamental of waiting the table. 4 times we asked for some water before finally getting 2 glasses for a table of 4. Food was at best average, toughest lamb chops I've ever eaten and theynwere ordered at the waiters recommendation! Main course tasted like it had used a can of Heinz soup for the base, tasted really sweet, but also tremendously over-salted as well there were few discernable flavours in relation to how it was described on the menu. Everything seemed to be a problem for the staff. Starters turned up at different times. I don't do reviews like this to be nasty to restaurants or out of spite. We paid the full bill, it was just really disappointing. I didn't feel like we were welcomed to the restaurant, the food was bad, service was poor. There isn't a lack of choice for subcontinental food in Medway and I won't be returning here. I did try and speak to the staff but they almost went out of their way to behave like having paying customers was a problem they didn't need, which is fine. 4 less future customers to worry about

Food was delicious and delivered on time

Always have lovely food from here. Hot, on time and correct items.

If you're looking for a fantastic Indian meal and top notch service... This is the place. Never disappointed in all the years I've been a patron. Dining in or taking away, these guys do Indian cuisine with style and finesse 😏👌🏽 Cannot recommend enough. Absolutely fantastic food, choice of settings, sometimes quiet and warm, occasionally lively with groups but all are welcomed and treated as royalty. If you want to eat well and enjoy the experience, head to the end of the High Street... Cumin Club is second to none !! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Meat was very tough and everything had too much oil

We had the set menu banquet for two, more than enough food for two which was great for c.£25 each. However it all tasted mediocre. Service was fine and the decor and surroundings quite new and modern.

Lamb balti & keema rice - beautiful! Friendly helpful staff Was dead as early on a weekday, nice place to be for a good curry.

This is about there take away in the delce rochester , rude do not use them . Ordered for years and now they are shocking , 1 hour late with food missing. Rude when I questioned the missing food twice . DONT bother

Very busy on a Saturday evening, the staff were working so hard! Despite this the service was great and we didn't feel ignored at any point. The food was excellent, I liked that they asked whether we wanted poppadoms rather than assume we did. I would definitely eat here again - book ahead if you're visiting on a Saturday.

Good atmosphere and service. Good variety of dishes. Good choice of drinks and staff were friendly and efficient. Several families were in the restaurant and you could tell many regulars. The only thing my partner does not like is when dishes are bright red in colour which looks artificial but in terms of taste it was excellent.

Initially I was going to give an average rating, but because the staff were rude at the end, it soured the mood. So to start with, the food is over-priced. Over-priced can work if your food is great, but the food here is not good. These are some of the most mediocre curries I have eaten in a long time. They do a "banquet" deal, which I will admit is a good deal for what you get, and the portion sizes are good. One of the servers was practically inaudible. Service was a basic standard, which brings me to the next point. When it came to paying for the meal, the card machine voided a few times, which was a problem on their end (otherwise it would have said declined). Secondly the server (not the inaudible one) got pissy when my wife selected no tip, he was aggressively ripping the paper off from the machine and avoiding eye contact. As I said before, the service was basic, so you do not deserve a tip. Even more importantly, you referred to her as a sir earlier in the meal so you dug your own grave. Get better.

probably the best Korma we've ever had. the sauce is a little thin, but it is tasty and portion sizes are just right. the driver was courteous and friendly

We had a gorgeous meal. Great range of dishes, both traditional and less common. The service was excellent and the atmosphere welcoming. Highly recommended.

excellent service and the food was absolutely great, thanks

Great food. Really friendly staff and reasonably priced. Staff were very accommodating with the table and the order Really enjoyed the whole experience so definitely recommend

Service was good and staff was polite.Food for the price was expensive nothing special.A bit bland

First time tried Shobzi Piaza, was amazing! Quality of food was excellent.

We had a lovely dinner, the food was full of flavour and delicious. The staff were very nice and friendly, happy to give us details about the menu. Thanks for a lovely dinner, we will be back.

The fish dishes are expensive £22 and not brilliant. The prawn dish had only 2 big butterflied prawns for £18. overall it was average.

Really disappointed as this was recommended. Service was great. Ordered two mains and both were tasteless

Very nice meal as usual standards from here. Thank you.

The salad had sat on a hot plate and was cooked, the breads were cold and soggy. The other items were luke warm at best, greasy and has taken half an hour to try to recover even a small part to eat. Contacted JustEat and they expect me to sit here photography all the dishes.

Supermarket onion baji is better than this . Chicken tikka masala tasteless No salad with the popadoms No spice at all in the mains

Food was bang on time on a Saturday night, hot and succulent.

liked the restaurant. Bit slow with initial service. seemed eager for us to leave at the end and turned customers away. Might be strict licensing times not sure

Great place to eat with a group of work colleagues. Great service. Food was less spicy than expected but very tasty

Extremely rude, I understand Bengali they are very racist. Really horrible experience

Every single item on my order was stone cold. Have tried contacting the cumin club but no response. Very very very disappointed with it.

amazing food as always the best in medway by far

Not their best. Booked for 7:20pm as was working today. Had just walked through the door when it turned up at 7pm. It was lukewarm and flavourless today. Such a shame. Not their usual standard at all.

5 stars as always. Thank you for delivering at the perfect time for my pre-order. Flavours, quality, temperature spot on!

Foods always good, have been many times.

Really nice korma and tikka masala.

First time I’d been to the Cumin club in Rochester and I love round the corner… I’ll deffo be going back! Service was outstanding! Every member of the team was helpful, polite and always there when you needed something. The food… WOW! Amazing! Everything tasted exceptional!

Missing items from order. Late delivery.

Good food and service as always

Delivery driver was friendly. Absolutely delighted with my choices. Looked delicious and tasted fantastic! Can't wait to try more from the menu but it will be hard to resist getting the same again. Thank you Cumin Club team!

Sadly food was cold on arrival. After we warmed it up it was very tasty.

This restaurant took my booking for a table and when we arrived I was kept waiting for 10 minutes as they looked for a table for me then said they had given the table away but we was on time Then asked me to wait for another 20 minutes for another table with no apology I would not go here again ever as the customer service was terrible

Order wasn’t delivered and money taken under false pretences.

Forgot I'd ordered from here before and said I'd 'never order again'. Sad tummy within a few hours this time - make of that what you will. I'll definitely not forget this time to never order again!

Food was stone cold and not edible I require a refund plead

The food was very good and the service was excellent..I have been there on several occasions and always had good food and service

Fanatic quality of flavour and texture. One of the best Indian food delights I have tasted in a long time. Stunning !

Great food and really quick delivery

Great food, arrived nice and hot.

We had a nice meal, a varied selection of main dishes, I tried a dish I had not had before, it was very nice. Recommended.

Expensive food for the quality / portion size. Paneer was 3 cubes exactly for about £6! Wouldn't order again.

More heat than flavour, if you like chilli heat you'll enjoy the food.

Food delivered within the time indicated but food was not great

Very tasty food, excellent service.

Normally food is on point, today seemed a little small on the portion sizes, and food wasn't quite up to its normally high standards

Looks amazing, sounds amazing, vegan options, quality of service was 1st class, food was better than first class, and I love the light fixtures they got

First time ordering from this restaurant and the food was delicious. Friendly delivery driver too

Happy to be a regular customer of this restaurant for date nights or special get togethers. Food is always amazing.

We received a recommendation to attend this local restaurant and was underwhelmed. We love indian food but this did not meet our standards or expectations. The wait was too long, the Shahi lamb which is featured as connoisseur cooking did not have any flavour at all and at the price was extremely disappointing. The same applied to maynamothi which was flavourless and the prawns were difficult to peel and no plate was provided for the shells. The food was not hot after a very long wait and when I pointed this out there was no acknowledgment or apology for this. Knowing your restaurant is fully booked and with only 2 staff working, is unprofessional and bared relevance to the service we received. We asked about allergies and requested water which we had to again request the information and water twice. But the peshwari nan was delicious!! As this is the first visit, I usually cut restaurants slack and will give them the opportunity to redeem themselves and will return one more time to assess.

Really great food, friendly delivery service

Excellent my food was excellent beer was very nice and the staff very friendly if we are down that way again we will eat there again

The only thing I have to say was the Nan bread was rubbery...... the curry was lovely..... certainly would buy from them again just not the nan

My friend booked a table for us to have an evening meal here. We arrived slightly early but were welcomed and immediately shown to our table. The waiter was friendly and helped us with the menu. We asked for a vegan option menu and there was plenty of choice. The service was great and we never had to wait longer than fifteen minutes for food or drinks. The restaurant has a stylish decor and is clean and well presented. The toilets were spotless, which is always a good sign! We had poppadoms which came with tasty dips and then coriander mushrooms followed by two vegan curries with Chapati and rice. Honestly the food was up there with the best I have tasted, the fusion of flavours were amazing! I had Shobzi Tava and my friend had Shobzi Piaza. Reasonably priced and all in all a great experience. Thank you!

Very tasty, highly recommend these guys. Great service too!

Delivery time was good - food was just ok and fairly ordinary

Absolutely fabulous meal. Very good service including happily preparing dishes not on the menu. LOTS of chicken tikka in the curries. Thoroughly enjoyed eating here and so glad we were not put off by some of the negative reviews we read on here. Great value too. Highly recommended.

Food was tasty and hot, service was perfect. Will be ordering again!

Outstanding menu excellent menu

First order from the Cumin Club. Probably one of the best takeaways we have ever had. Spices well balanced and true to heat level. Will definitely be back.

Food was really bland, of late it just lacks something.

Could not fault the flavor the only down side was some of the chicken piece where a little bit tough.

Disappointed tonight because the food is normally very good. I had a lamb madras and the lamb was really overcooked and tough.

Sadly the lamb dish wasn’t up to the normal high standards, lamb being dry and tough and the sauce was a different consistency, seemed dryer. Other half thoroughly enjoyed his meal, and the sides were all good.

Food was delicious as always, delivered on time and piping hot. The tikka masala had a bit more spice than I'm used to but I think that made it much much nicer. Only downside, for the price of the samosas I think you should at least get 3. Other than that, beautiful

Had to wait a hour and half for food to be served after order, very cold when arrived and meat in bhuna uneatable so unfortunately not happy.

Excellent curry in a modern restaurant. Very friendly staff . Been twice and will definitely go again.

Amazing food and the staff are great!

Another delicious take away delivered earlier than the estimated time… spot on 👍

Amazing food with tonnes of vegan choice. Thank you.

Food definitely not the same quality it used to be

Food was delicious and delivered on time, will definitely be ordering again!

Early delivery, which was nice, and great food.

Curry cold, nan not cooked how we requested, missing mint sauce! Not ordered for 5 weeks - really downhill!

Al I can say is fantastic food 👌

Amazing food as always, have certainly made a regular customer from me

Came as a work office meal. Restaurant was quiet when we arrived, but it was only 6pm on a Monday. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Good selection on the menu and we were informed they could prepare anything that wasn't on there. The food was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of it! Would definitely return.

Food -not good,tasteless and bald. Aloo paratha was undercooked .

Brilliant food and excellent service! My best friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and we were glad we changed our plans last minute 😊

Food fantastic and brilliant staff

I recommended this place to my friend as a great place to eat, contemporary cuisine and excellent service. A lot had changed in 2 years. The service is still great but I felt they prefer to host larger groups because if you're a couple you'll be placed in a row down the centre of the restaurant so you feel like you're eating in a corridor. The 'connoisseur' menu sounds enticing as is a step away from your usual curry house offering and from experience was worth it but not this time. Chewy overcooked meat and over salted. On top of that the large groups of drunk middle age men trying to start fights with each other were equally off putting and we thought at one point our food and table would go flying. Could not wait to leave. Expensive for what it was.

Sorry to say but, food was cold and had to be reheated in microwave, madras was too hot, more like a vindaloo. Bag was melted for some reason. Tikka was very dry. Poppadoms tasted stale but were greasy, strange. Wife has had a poor stomach all night. Not a great experience.

Excellent service and food as per usual.

Very poor, waited 90 minutes for main courses.. put next to the outside door which was opened every 30 seconds to freezing weather outside!! Disappointing experience

Terrible experience - food was cold and some of it uncooked. Wrong orders delivered repeatedly. It’s quite hard to mess up a curry dish but I’m afraid this restaurant managed it.

It was one of the best experiences of the day at the Dickens festival.

Definitely the worst Indian takeaway I’ve ever had I cannot believe the price I just paid for chicken that wasn’t cooked properly and watery curries and onion bhaji were not cooked all the way through will never order again from here.

Came to Rochester for the night and found this Indian restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff and a great menu. Food was really nice with a focus on flavour rather than just heat! Reasonable price for 3 of us. Definitely recommend if passing through!!

The Cumin Club in Rochester High Street is a restaurant specialising in serving Indian food. The food which I had was delicious and the service was immaculate as were the drinks. The downstairs part of the establishment is for public eating but upstairs is a private function room with seating for about 30 places. Both restaurant and function room are ideal venues for a meal or event, highly recommended.

Have eaten in here plenty of times, first delivery. 5mins early and absolutely spot on 👌🏻 Will def use again.
