Cumin Tandoori

I decided to try Cumin Tandoori as I was staying at a hotel nearby. In my past visits, I would go to Rishi’s close to the Bön Accord Centre. This time I am certain I have found my new favourite restaurant as the food was divine, service exceptional and the experience most enjoyable. I am of West Indian descent so well seasoned to one of the world’s hottest spices such as Trinidad Moruga scorpion pepper so requested the spicy prawns and they were done just as I asked. Along with Nan and Raita, I ate my entire meal using only my hands (no utensils) the way my parents would have eaten it. I can tell they instantly recognized my cultural similarity and affinity and were delighted to take back empty and wiped clean plates as the food was that good. Mind you, I ate all this spicy food just before a 9 hour flight back to Houston as my body not only craved it but is conditioned to the food. I cannot wait to try the Lamb and plethora of combinations during my next return trip. Kudos to the chef and the owner who also thanked me for the business. First class and top notch!

Had dinner with a group of seven. The service was swift and relaxed at the same time. The feeling of being served, then being served the most excellent Indian food was accomplished. I had a craving for some great Indian food. It is rare that you can stumble on a place that actually fulfills that which you imagine. If you have a craving go. Or just go so you will know what to crave next time.

As an American, I will not claim to know exactly what Indian food should taste like. However, I know when food is good and I had good food at Cumin Tandoori. The staff did a great job of accommodating my requests and prepared 2 dishes the way I wanted them. Is it the best Indian food I’ve ever had– no. But it’s the best I’ve had in Aberdeen, and I would definitely go back.

Oily, spicy bad indian food. I am Indian and I can easily distinguish between good and bad indian food. The food I ordered was dripping in oil. It had this weird after taste as well. I would not recommend this place.
