    Plate from the lunch buffet

    The lunch buffet was a little small and I wish it had more options, but for $13 I guess it's fair. The service was pretty fast and very attentive. The mango juice was excellent and the chicken tandoori was actually very moist. The butter chicken in the buffet was a little tough though. The paneer was also mediocre. I will definitely return when I get the Indian food cravings.

    When you come into the restaurant, you are given the option of getting access to the buffet or ordering dishes from their menu. The samosas come with 2 decently sized pieces, but they charge a fee for sharing appetizers. The dishes are a bit expensive, and while the rice portions are very generous, the size of the meat dishes is very small, considering the price. The restaurant had Indian music playing as we ate and had very nice decor, creating a relaxing atmosphere while we ate and while I would be happy to eat there again the price for the small portions makes me hesitant to recommend it to those on a budget. Overall, the food and atmosphere were great but I would only eat here on special occasions due to its high prices.

    Entry way

    By far this is the best Indian restaurant in the Lehigh valley. I have had homemade cuisine and this is the same as I would expect. Try the samosas chatt as it is an experience I had only had here and they are fantastic!

    Stopped in for their AYCE lunch buffet - for the price you can't complain. Everything was fresh, bright and full of flavor.

    Great Indian food at a good price. They have their takeout orders incredibly well organized and…read moreits just a smoothly run operation with great food. To get you to try new things, they'll even toss in freebies on larger orders and those never disappoint either (and it works, I've ordered those things other times). I'm glad I found this gem of an Indian restaurant in the Lehigh Valley.

    Cumin 'n Eat serves excellent Indian food. The food is consistently hot, fresh, high-quality, and…read morevery well seasoned. The flavors are clearly prepared with care. The people are also friendly, which makes the experience feel welcoming. That said, there are a few things that would make the dining experience much better. On our last visit, our group waited nearly 30 minutes for the food to arrive. During that time, the table was completely empty except for water and place settings. When food is going to take longer than usual, it would make a big difference to bring something small to the table, even pappadums or another light starter, just to keep guests happy and occupied. It would also help if someone came over to apologize, give an update, and let guests know how much longer the food may take. Also, the cold plastic plates should really be upgraded. They feel cheap and tacky, and hot food should not be served onto cold plastic plates. Real plates would immediately improve the presentation and overall dining experience. The main dining room could use more warmth and charm. Right now, it feels a bit sparse and not especially cozy. But the room you first enter is in much greater need of attention. Honestly, it feels rather depressing to eat in that area. It would not have to break the bank to make it warmer and more inviting. A little decor, better lighting, warmer colors, or even a few thoughtful touches would go a long way. Right now, it just feels like very little effort was made in that space and that it's just a path to the cash register. One final suggestion: when it is time to pay, please do not stand over guests while they review the bill and decide on a tip. It feels uncomfortable. Either leave the device on the table or bring a paper bill first, then return when the guest is ready. Overall, the food is very good and the people are friendly. With a few service and atmosphere improvements, Cumin 'n Eat could offer a much better full dining experience. Our family really loves the food so kudos to the great chefs!

    First I want to add that the place is new and it's the owners first restaurant. The food is made to…read moreorder and takes time. Most mall patrons want something quick, so the slow service is not helpful. They gave us ketchup with the popadoms, which was strange; we are used to traditional Indian sauces. They also gave us ketchup packets with their fantastic Kathi wrap- this did not need any sauce and was delicious! It's not even pictured because we ate it show fast, after waiting so long. My only advice is to stop assuming everyone wants ketchup (I've eaten Indian cuisine since I was 7 years old and never once saw ketchup on their tables) and have some items pre-made. I will place my order ahead next time I'm at the Palmer Park mall, so it's ready when I am.

In addition to their original menu, they're now offering even more delicious Indian treats. I just had their Chhole Bhature, which was completely delicious. My colleague had an order of their Malai Tikka Leg and their Tulsi Naan; also delicious. I was so pleased with my meal, I ordered their Palak Paneer and an order of Vegetable Samosas to go. Do know that their prices are incredibly fair, and portions are quite large. You will be surprised. Easy on/off to Rt. 22 at 25th Street, Aroma Authentic Indian Cuisine will definitely live up to their previous reviews as Desi Bites; I think they'll even surpass them.

The most recent experience we had there was a huge disappointment. Their prices went too high now, which is not unique to them, but most restaurants in this area. The big problem is the service, as usual. This is very much a family operation so the wait staff, meaning primarily the 2 daughters of the owners, do not care about the customers , and are not concerned with any criticism or complaints a customer might make. Me and my wife have never complained, but this will be our last time there, unless we hear about changes being made there. The food has gotten somewhat less delicious, but the food was always very good. The decorum has not updated nor changed in years and the hard wood booths and chairs are just super uncomfortable. There is no accessibility and they act sorta resentful toward those who are somewhat handicapped.
