Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out generous, well-spiced curries as the draw, with the lamb rogan josh described by one reviewer as the best they'd had, alongside standouts like butter chicken, vegetable dhansak, and seekh kebabs praised for flavour and balance. Vegetarian and vegan spreads earn particular attention, from Bombay cheese called rich and moreish to a vegan menu called vast, and sides like coconut flake naan and deep fried okra also get called out. Service is consistently described as friendly and attentive, even late in the evening, and the setting, including spotless bathrooms and a lively but comfortable room, draws repeat praise. The only recurring gripe is pace, with one reviewer noting it took a while for food to arrive, and another finding the lime rice too sour. Several reviewers mention returning after stopping in en route to other cities, and multiple say they plan to come back.

Super accommodating & friendly staff (we arrived at 21:58 & stimm got welcomed & served without any fuss!), a menu that left me feeling overwhelmed in the best possible way & delicious, generous food.

“We had a fantastic experience at Cumin. The service was friendly and made us feel really welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions. We tried a selection of vegetarian appetisers, and every dish was full of flavour and beautifully prepared. My personal favourite was the Bombay cheese, which was rich, perfectly spiced, and incredibly moreish. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and you can tell real care goes into the cooking. I would highly recommend Cumin to anyone looking for high-quality Indian cuisine in Nottingham.”

“Stopped off by chance on Way to London, as we fancied an Indian meal. A small family run restaurant- staff were very polite and helpful. Service was excellent. The food was all very good, full of flavours, and thoroughly enjoyed by us all. None of it was overly chilli and spices and flavours very well balanced. It was well presented and generous portions. Will be back again!”
