I love Cumin. For its warm service and hospitality (thanks to Alex and his team) and the wonderful blend of Indian methods and core recipes combined with new and different ingredients (thanks to the creativity of Yajan, the chef). The first courses are excellent - especially the mussels and the Imli Baingan (tamarind eggplant appetizer). The Chana Pindi is fresh... more

The food is pretty good--appetizers and desserts are definitely better than the entrees. My duck was not terribly good but the risotto was excellent; they need to pair the risotto with something else. My fiance had the steak and it was cooked on lentils--and the lentils overpowered the dish. Neither of us were asked how we wanted our duck or... more

Not your average Indian cuisine. Not your average Cincinnati restaurant. A definite gem in the Queen City. My wife and I also had our first date there. more

But I really loved the more extensive menu of the older Cumin and the more relaxed atmosphere. We wanted to be regulars..I don't think that is going to... more

My wife and I and our guest were all greatly pleased by the taste and presentation of our meals. For us, the "fusion" cuisine worked very well. Many vegetarian, seafood, and poultry choices. The Quail vindaloo (who ever heard of quail vindaloo?) worked very well, both tender and spicy. The salad and the 2 vegetarian main dishes were tasty as... more

I am a diner. I spend my time and money going to all the foodie joints in Cincinnati and everywhere else I can. I always considered Cumin a rare gem. Cheap, easy, fast and really good indian food. Now they have gone fusion, Indian and American Fusion to be exact and I LOVE IT. There is still a place in... more

Let me start by saying that cumin was my favorite Indian restaurant in US until it was re-opened. While I couldn't wait for the new cumin to open I was put-off by the changes in the food. let's start with positives cos the negatives are too many... I liked the new style. black is my favorite color and absolutely loved... more
