I enjoy Indian food and have eaten in restaurants all around the country. I have no hesitation to say this is some of the top food I have tasted! Portion sizes are great, the spices were at the top level. To conclude the staff and management were friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this for food and drinks. It’s also located in the centre of Nottingham town so it’s a 2min walk from the live music bars and shows!

We visited Cumin without a prior booking, expecting it to be quiet as it was midweek. The downstairs dining area was already full, with us taking the last table…a testament to how popular this place is. The food and service were first rate, with the staff eager to advise us about the dishes they served. We would definitely visit again if we are in Nottingham, thanks for looking after us so well.

I went here on valentine's day with my girlfriend and we were greeted with friendly service and lots of care and attention. The food was amazing, in particular the chicken korma and the chicken jalfreezi. We never felt rushed into making a decision which is particularly refreshing on such a busy evening. The cocktails were also very nice with the mojito being our highlight.

First time here and will be back when next In Nottingham. Hadn’t booked a table but we were warmly received and made to feel very welcome from the off. We ordered a light dinner and would whole heartedly recommend the lamb madras, chicken dopiaza, tarka dhal, lime rice and keema naan. All other dishes we saw leaving the kitchen looked incredibly appetizing too. Service was prompt and polite throughout which was so refreshing. Comedy moment was when the one of the staff presented a surprise birthday ice cream, candle and all, to a diner who looked a touch bemused as it was not his birthday - they had got the booking confused with another one - his card is in the post!

It was a great experience to visit the restaurant with my parents in Nottingham, serves authentic Indian food with exemplary service. The authenticity of their food left a lasting impression, with flavors that transported me to the heart of India. The ambience was equally delightful, blending warm hues and subtle decor, creating a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for those seeking an authentic taste of India in a cozy atmosphere.

Service was excellent and all of the meals were first class, certainly some of the best Indian food we have ever had including an extended holiday we had a few years ago in India. I had the tandoori combination which not only tasted great but looked superb too. Unfortunately, we only occasionally visit Nottingham but will definitely be back when we are in the City.

Didn't fancy cooking tonight so I headed to the Nottingham Curry Mile on Maid Marian Way. I'd had my eye on The Cumin Restaurant for a while so that was my choice this evening. It's definitely worth the extra walk down the hill. I was spoilt for choice with the menu, I had about five or six dishes that I was eager to try for the first time, and I eventually decided on the seafood biryani with some poppadoms and pickles to start. The lady who served me was very helpful and patient as some dishes were unfamiliar to me, for example the different types of roti which she explained for me. The pickles served with the poppadoms were very flavoursome, I particularly liked the tangy red onion which complimented the yoghurt and mint and the mango chutney very well. The main biryani course was absolutely superb, I don't normally go for a biryani as they are often quite a dry dish if they are served with meat, but with the salmon, white fish and prawns, the dish was delicious. It was served with a vegetable curry (which was handy for dipping the roti into) and a riata. I could wax lyrical about the fragrant spices in the rice, the cashews and sultanas and the beautifully cooked fish for days. I can still taste and smell the aromas now, 5 hours later. I will definitely come back and work my way through my wish list on their menu. Highly recommended!

All four of us had a superb meal. As a vegan, I appreciated my extensive menu. My friend and I shared two dishes, tarka dahl and chana bahji, both of which were excellent. The accompanying pilau rice and chapatti were also excellent. Our two colleagues had a variety of meat dishes and were very enthusiastic. The wine and Cobra beer finished off the food nicely. With such high quality food, it represented good value for money. Next time I visit Nottingham, I am definitely returning here.

Oh how I have missed this place!! We retuned recently to Nottingham after over a decade away. Our dinner reservation was only going to be one place and that was Cumin. The evening got off to a great start when Sonny welcomed us at the door and amazingly remembered our faces after all these years !! Before we sat Sonny knew what my order was going to be and I didn’t deviate - Tandoori Mixed Grill !!! It did not disappoint the very same high standard and excellent flavour was presented and we loved it !! Amazing ! 5 stars Sonny and the team. Thanks and hope to see you again soon .

Nice food, very pleasant staff. However I was not overly impressed that service charge is added automatically. It's not the cost, it's the principle. Either charge what you charge to include all costs associated with the provision of the meal or make the service charge an optional. If I want to reward good service, other than what one expects, then I will choose that, not the restaurant. If I order food then I expect it to be brought to my table unless it's a buffet and I don't expect to pay extra for the "service" of bringing it to my table, that's a given. If you need to raise cash don't do it with a hidden in plain sight on the menu ( they claim it was, I did not see it) for me to find it in the bill. Yes it was removed when I pointed out that I was not happy to pay it, but I then I was made to feel awkward. And indeed the food whilst nice was not what I wanted, yes I should have said something, but simply did not, and then they want more money....... I would go back but make it clear that the service needs to go through the roof before they have any right to just lump it on, in the hope no one noticed.

Cumin is an absolute gem. The modern exterior leads to a classy interior with a small downstairs restaurant area and further seating upstairs. The welcome was wonderful and felt very inviting. The authentic menu offers something for everyone including an extensive vegetarian offering. I personally always judge an Indian restaurant by two dishes, their tikka starter and their chicken madras main. Both were excellent and in my personal opinion one of the best madras curries I have ever eaten. I would highly recommend if you find yourself looking for an amazing and value for money curry in Nottingham.

We booked the restaurant for an anniversary dinner based on the many positive comments we had read, but admit that the feeling was one of disappointment. It was not only that the expectations had been set high, but we purposefully ordered a range of dishes, both starters and mains, and overall found the food more bland than most Indian restaurants at which we had eaten. We were greeted warmly, our reservation was found, the service was attentive throughout without being overbearing and the staff friendly. The poppadoms were crispy but the accompanying sauces were mostly bland. Stand-out winner was the spicy mango chutney, very tasty, but the mint sauce was among the most tasteless we had experienced. The starters were quite good, the paneer mushrooms well cooked and presented and a good portion, the squid rings well complemented by a spicy dip, which added the flavour. Salad was fresh in both starters. Mains we chose the prawn curry which was the stand-out dish for me, and once I had stirred the sauce and the prawns, the flavours came through. Pilau rice and plain naan, ordered separately, very nicely cooked and tasty. The chicken pea dish my wife ordered she thought was OK, but again mentioned it being bland, and the chutney that accompanied it, essential to add taste. Overall, we felt that there could have generally been more taste tobthe dishes, and less heat. Good portions and we could not eat it all and took a leftover bag home with us. When presented with the bill, the Fork discount was not included, we asked for it and a quick hand-worked calculation was made which did not correspond to the value of the discount, but was lower. We did not linger to query it, as a queue of people had formed behind us tp pay, and we felt it would be impolite to delay them further (we ourselves had been waiting for a group of 6 or so men to each pay their share of their meal, a tedious and time-consuming process. Overall, many small things could be improved.

Easily one of the best meals i’ve ever had. Food was incredible, service was great and the atmosphere was perfect, even on a weeknight. Would recommend to anyone who loves great food, great vibes and lovely staff! Sanyukta was lovely and made our evening special!

the food here was absolutely amazing. The best Indian food I have ever had. I highly recommend the lamb korma. Attentive and friendly service with a relaxing atmosphere.

Amazing food and atmosphere! I went with a friend for dinner. We made a reservation and got sat in the best seat upstairs by a window. Friendly and attentive service.

Visited Chaska yesterday for a family iftaar. Great place! Was welcomed warmly by their staff (Waleed and Abz are stars!) and seated quickly. As we pre-ordered our food, it came out promptly in time for iftaar. Although the Chappal kebabs could have been slightly spicier, the tawa was delicious. They even had prayer mats out so people could pray. Would definitely keep coming here again :)
