Our story

Food that carries a sense of place.

Cumin India began with a simple idea: cook the food we grew up sharing, with no shortcuts.

Our kitchen layers whole spices, slow-cooked sauces, and tandoor-fired breads into dishes rooted in India and made for our Connecticut community. Every plate is prepared to order, from the first toasted cumin seed to the final handful of fresh cilantro.

From the tandoor

Fire, patience, and a little bit of magic.

Our clay oven reaches nearly 900 degrees, sealing in flavor and giving every naan and kebab its unmistakable char.

The naan arrives blistered and warm, and the tikka masala has real depth. This is the meal we keep coming back for.

Outstanding hospitality and a menu that works for the whole table. The samosa chaat is bright, crunchy, and perfectly balanced.

The spices taste layered rather than simply hot. Delivery was quick, neatly packed, and every dish arrived fresh.
