Description

Step into The Cumin and expect a thoughtful, flavour-first take on Indian dining in the heart of Nottingham. This family-run restaurant pairs carefully spiced mains and fresh tandoori grills with crisp, aromatic naans and an imaginative selection of starters and desserts. The menu is clearly written so you know what you're ordering, and there are plentiful vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options alongside seafood, kebabs and signature plates. Friendly staff, a lively city-centre setting on Maid Marian Way and a good selection of beers and cocktails make The Cumin an excellent pick for birthdays, anniversaries or a memorable night out. Reserve ahead for busy evenings.

I have visited many Indian restaurants, but this one is definitely the best! It is a fantastic family-run restaurant that you must visit if you are in the Nottingham area!

I was a bit disappointed with the fried Okra, but everything else we tried at this restaurant was truly fantastic. The other dishes were bursting with flavor, from the spicy and intriguing curries to the juicy kebabs. Even the dips tasted fresh and packed with flavor. The Naan bread was light and perfectly garlic-infused. The service was excellent - efficient and friendly, and they even had Cobra beer on tap. The menu is extensive, with plenty of vegetarian options available.
