One of the best Indian restaurants that I have ever been to. The service is incredible. And the flavor of the dishes is fantastic. I'm no expert on Indian cuisine, but my gf knows her way around an Indian menu, and she was as impressed as I was. You will not be disappointed. Go and keep going! read more

Nice to see a quality Indian restaurant without having to go all the way into New Haven. Staff is very nice. Hope the location doesn't give these guys grief, cause I'm going to be a customer. read more

Amazing service at this local Resturant. They make sure you feel welcome and the food is delicious. I always order the lamb curry and it's everything I expected it would be. I'm looking forward to eating here again soon. read more

Best Indian food I've ever had. I drive 40 minutes just for some Indian food. Not only is the food amazing the staff are absolutely incredible. read more

Just visiting the area for the evening... amazing food! I had the vegetable korma. Naan was great as well. I ordered take-out and it was ready in 15 minutes. read more

Cumin is the only Indian restaurant in the Spring Glen area, meaning it only has to be decent to survive. That said, it is consistently excellent and staffed by friendly, attentive folks. I've eaten good north indian food in Jackson Heights (NYC), all around India, Malaysia, etc, and it stands up. read more

The lunch buffet is unreal!! High quality food and just 8.95!! It's a hidden gem for sure. If you want yummy authentic Indian food, come here!! read more

I've only eaten lunch buffet, but I love Indian food and have seen a lot of Indian buffets over the years: Cumin India certainly rates in the top ten Indian buffets in my own experience, both in terms of variety, freshness and spices. read more

Stopped in yesterday afternoon on the strength of Yelp reviews. We had gobi Manchurian, samosas, aloo makhani, and goat curry with two different types of naan. The food was fantastic and clearly made to order, particularly the naan, which was hot and incredibly fresh. Price wise, it was moderate and I thought fair considering the quality of the food. I would highly recommend Cumin India. read more

My wife and I (and the kids) have been there three times total. It's a bit pricey, but the portions are good and we like it enough to keep going back. The service is great and the food was very tasty. Plenty of great basmati rice. AND the mango lassis are also fantastic! read more

Great Indian food at a great price, I had the lamb Korma and my partner had the lamb kabob Masala, both were delicious. Not sure why one reviewer would claim that it is expensive? We paid $13.95 for a lamb dish and the chicken and vegetable dishes were much cheaper. Haven't tried their buffet yet but if their dinner is any indication of the quality then I'm sure it will be good as well. read more

Very good Indian food that I would highly recommend. We did take out and it didn't look like there were many people in the restaurant. The chicken biryani was pretty standard, a bit dry. The tandoori chicken was excellent as well. read more

I have been there a few times now and have loved all the dishes I tried! Great service friendly people.

I came in based on Yelp reviews and it was certainly a good decision. The service was excellent and the food was some of the best in the area. I had the chicken tikka masala, curry, and garlic naan. All delicious and full of flavor. My favorite dish was the Tikka masala, it was exceptional. I will definitely be going back. read more

The food here is absolutely delicious!!!! Really wish i lived closer so i can come here all the time. #Tikka masala #garlic naan

A well run local Indian restaurant. Food is always good. We prefer the menu to the buffet. The men who work here are always kind and very efficient and polite. We live Cumin India and are so glad to have it close by! read more

Food Great. Service on delivery abysmal. they are totally a bunch of Mūrkha māasa. Ordered lamb kabob, got Chicken Curry. Ate it anyway. Delivery was terrible, cheeky driver was 40 minutes after promised time and asked for a tip. NO!!! NO TIP!!! Bad driver, Bad!!!! read more

I called up the restaurant to check if they do home delivery. The Manager abruptly hanged up my phone, saying he is busy and said will call me back. But never called back. I t read more

Great food, affordable pricing, attentive staff, and clean. I'll be going back again.

if you are Indian or have tried really good Indian rest you will know that their food is below the average. They really need to work on some dishes especially the lamb biryani. Other than that, the atmosphere and the service are great. The quantity of the food is great, I always have left over to eat on the next day. NOTE: I am not Indian, but I tried many in different countries. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Hamden. The food is awesome and the prices are cheap. The staff and the service is phenomenal. This is one of our go to restaurants for sure. read more

I love the food and the service at this place. The vegetable samosas was one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten. Eaten in and had the delivery, too. Excellent service on both. Plus, I'm a vegan and these guys understand what a vegan is and were completely willing to modify appropriate dishes to meet my needs. Lots of my coworkers eat here, too and everyone has had a positive experience. read more

This place is awesome. I take my 4 year old son for their lunch buffet and they do not charge for him, and bring him a complimentary mango lassi which totally makes his day. The selection doesn't change much, but what they do have is always fresh and delicious. Their chicken tandoor is probably the best thing on the buffet line and they offer a lot of vegetarian alternatives. The price is very pocket friendly and the servers Are very attentive, always refilling your water and clearing your plate. read more

Good place for a typical Indian buffet lunch. The people here seem friendly and it's well priced.

Just down the street from me and had a great curry. We did the butter chicken and the chicken with cashews. Garlic naan was nice and the staff were friendly and great! read more

This place rocks, I work with a guy who has moved here from india recently and he confirms what I already knew...awesome authentic food, and the price is very fair. The only place Ill go for indian food in the area...the curry is amazing. read more

My go-to Indian place for Friday night take out! My fiancé loves the lamb saag and my favorite is paneer makhani. They will also adjust the ingredients for the entrees as requested. read more

I like the way this place looks from the inside. We usually order on eat24 and the food is ready in 15-20mins. Coming to the food, my favorites are paneer karahi and bhendi masala. Chole masala, veg fried rice and mirchi ka salan were average. Gobhi manchurian was very soggy and tasted really bad. Veg biryani was saltless and dint like it at all. The naans are good. Overall it is an average restaurant. read more

This place is the bomb. Coupons too. Very authentic tasting Indian cuisine. Fast and very friendly service. The waiter pointed out his favorite dishes and even told us some things that are not on the menu. (bone marrow soup...effin amazing) Have not been in for lunch buffet yet but dinner is great. Only praise for Cumin India. Always satisfied. read more

I ordered take out: saag paneer and goat curry. I couldn't believe how much meat was in it. Few bones but a lot of meat for a small container. Saag paneer was delicious. The rice was literally white rice. So disappointing. And garlic naan wasn't hot but not bad either. I liked the additional chips and sauces that were complimentary. Overall delicious though the saag paneer lacked flavor like the curry. 45 min delivery! Not bad at all. read more

The service here is excellent. They even helped coordinate the amount of food I needed for my party. Best of all, everyone at the party loved the food! I will definitely order from Cumin again for a future event/dinner party. read more

I was alerted to this place by an acquaintance who asked me what (as an Indian ) my opinion was abot this restaurant. So as they say "the rest is history"-we visited this restaurant about 5 times and had take out abot 12 times. Each time, it is the same. Their food is exceptional. Thier service is impeccable. The owner/manager was a person known to us from a previous restaurant. We loved his food at his last resaturant and we love it at the new place. He nevere told us he was staring his own place or ask for recommmendations. Go there-you will not be disappointed. read more

For my first time eating Indian food, it was very good. Attentive staff, relaxed atmosphere - I'd definitely go back.

Huge fall in quality. I wonder if this place is under new management since my husband and I had a mediocre (at best) experience there last night. We have eaten at Cumin several times and always been very happy with everything, the food, service and excellent cocktails. This time they gave us reheated chicken tandoori - the plate should come out sizzling but this was lukewarm. When I pointed it out and asked when this had been cooked, they offered to heat it up some more. Not a lot of effort there. And instead of their excellent cocktails before, they're now obviously using some kind of cheap liquor and mixes. A disappointing evening and we won't be back. Save your money and go to Sitar in New Haven - it's worth the drive. read more

Food is good, little on the pricey side. Wife and I frequent this establishment once every couple of months because it is convenient to where we live. read more

I'm a novice when it comes to Indian food, and after ordering my dinner, I literally had no idea what to expect. However, when my dishes arrived, I found them delicious. The atmosphere isn't bad considering it's a converted from a waffle place. The wait staff was also attentive. My only gripe is that since very little useful description is given on each dish, non-Indian foodies such as myself are left guessing what on earth they ordered. read more

My husband and I were driving and noticed that the restaurant was finally opened. I was excited because I was looking for a taste of India and what a pleasant surprise. My husband was a little hesitant about going in because he never ate Indian food...However, it was our anniversary and he decided to indulge me. Although the menu was limited, we went on the first day it was opened 1/14/11....our selection was fantastic! My husband loved it so much that we went back four days later to celebrate my birthday. My husband invited our family there to celebrate. My family had an awesome time, the staff were friendly and very attentive (they even did the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" song/cake for me)....we will certainly be regular customers! GOOD LUCK CUMIN INDIA and welcome to the neighborhood... read more

Great service , my family and I come here regularly. The portions are large and the food quality very consistent each time !

Just found out this place opened, it used to be an Ihop. When I walked in I couldn't believe it was the same place. The decor was nice. The staff friendly and inviting. They all said hello to my son and tried talking to him, which I thought was nice. We were seated and offered some sesame looking rice cake and its condiments. I havent been to many Indian Restaraunts but I am always served this when I do go. I love it. So good. I ordered the chicken curry, my boyfriend got the lamb curry and we ordered some lamb naan.For my son we ordered a chicken and rice dish. Our expectations were low, we didnt know what to expect. We were surprised when the food came out it was delicious! So good! The lamb curry was awesome. The meat was tender, and the curry was flavorful. My chicken curry was good, although the chicken was a bit tough for my taste, but I was able to overlook it. It was still tasty. My sons chicken dish was so good. The chicken was tender and juicy and was served with this orange sauce that was insanely good. I could have eaten just that sauce and been happy. It was delicious! The lamb naan was outstanding! Great food all around! The owner came to talk to us and introduce himself. He was very nice and offered free desserts to us. Definitely going back. read more

Excellent Indian food!! And great service! We had lamb curry and chicken madras both awesome. Finished with rice pudding which I'm not a big fan of but it was very good read more
