The Cumin Club — Restaurant in Warsaw

I tried this place on account of the amazing reviews some..., had given it. I was disappointed, to say the least. The food here is very poor by any standards. I'm a fan of Indian food generally, but here, you will not find anything like a good quality version of it. Just try for yourself if you want to believe some of the revs. You will likely get a very unpleasant surprise if you know anything about good quality Indian food. Supermarket versions of tandoori, for example, are much cheaper, and a higher standard. The restaurant itself is bland, with poor quality furniture. It doesn't cater for children very well, a few rubbish old toys. In many ways, an insult to higher Indian culture. It doubles as a 'sports bar', having a small TV playing constant football, for those interested. It reminds me of the sort of place frequented by English football louts, looking for a cheap curry and a few pints. In Poland, it is perhaps aimed at those who know nothing about Indian food, but want to 'feel' cultured. Unfortunately, you will be sampling the New Delhi slums version here. It's only missing the unbearable heat and mosquitoes, but I suppose it could resemble it more closely...

Good bread. Incredible meat. Sports!

Who could want more? Oh and beer :)

I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, onion bahjee and garlic nan bread on a fairly quite night for take out. Enjoying the sports TV whilst I waited.

The bread! Fresh cooked and great quality. Garlic visible but not overpowering despite being transported it was still bread like (not rubbery). I must try this in house next I'm sure it will be even better.

The onion bahjee were delicate and tasty with a couple of nice sauces. Sadly not a spicy sauce but one that added interest.

The curry was good but the meat was exceptional. Light and succulent. Chicken is hard to cook to this standard so I was impressed.

Great job. I will be back to explore the lamb :)

It's a hard life but someone has to do it ;)

Update June 2020. Still great,...

My experience with Cumin was very good. It was the night of the League of Champions finale. I wasn't ready to figure out that every single place in Warsaw was fully booked, but to my success, the owner of Cumin found the last table for us. I know Indian food very well and I'm not Polish (😉 to the other reviewer) and I can say that this restaurant serves some very Indian and delicious dishes. We were very satisfied with both the food, the draft beer selection and the game. The only downside is that the kitchen was closed in 1 hour after our arrival and we were not able to...
