"We've tried quite a, few of the dishes on the menu in the last month and ALL have been equally delicious and none have been below par.The soup is usually excellent. The pate is flavoursome and not too smooth. The prawns are amazing. Equally the cajun chicken goujons is a good size and fills the spot.Recommended from the mains are the fried chicken special the southern fried and salt and pepper are spiced cooked perfectly. The large gammon is fantastic value and plenty big enough. The homemade cheese and onion pie is tasty and the pastry is superb. The beer battered haddock is absolutely phenomenal. Crispy and huge again excellent value. Another hearty favourite is the chilli with rice and chips spiced just perfectly. My ultimate favourite is the cajun chicken salad main which is the best I have ever eaten, anywhere.We don't often eat a pudding but the salted caramel ice cream is delicious.Preferred drinks are Warsteiner and Fosters which are kept and served by the Landlord to the highest possible standards.The place is spotless. Modern. Comfy seating. A real village pub. Welcoming and friendly staff. Outside eating and inside are both covid observed and a pleasant atmosphere.It's very reasonable in price and cheaper than other pubs/restaurants locally. Their food really is delicious and I have never seen or heard a single customer complain in the slightest. Very good for family meals and they have a beer garden and a marque. Creative specials board and I think it was venison burger, beer braised steak or gammon which all sound tempting. Top tip ring and book ahead it can get fully booked it's that good"

"I used to visit this restaurant regularly when it was Sylhet but having retired from Police Headquarters (opposite the restaurant) in 2014, I hadn 't been aware of Sylhet closing its doors about one year ago and Cumin evolving in its place. Once I became aware of this I looked at the reviews for Cumin on Tripadvisor and they were very encouraging so I booked a table for two and hubby and I went last Friday15 November. We were well known by the staff at Sylhet and always received a really warm welcome and had a chat withe manager whenever time permitted. So, it felt strange walking in and receiving a rather luke warm welcome. We were shown straight to our table and given menus and we ordered a bottle of wine. The menu was extensive and we both studied it in detail as there were many dishes listed that were new to us. We are both medium fans and we did feel that the chef specials were swamping us by hot or mild ones! Eventually we went for papadum and chutney tray (me) and the fish pakora (hubby). I thought the chutney tray was a bit pricey at £4.50 and the inclusion of coleslaw was a little random. My partner 's fish pakora was lacking in spicy batter and was just like a plain fish goujon. For mains we ordered the Murgh Tanger but requested it was made medium and exotic (chicken) garlic massala which was categorised as medium. We had read so much about the gunpowder potatoes that we just had to try them and one portion of pilau rice. We were given plenty of time to eat our appetisers and then our mains arrived which we were sharing. My first taste was the Murgh Tanger immediately followed by a sharp intake of breath the flavour was really delicious but it was sooo hot! Next was a taste of the exotic garlic massala also a fab flavour but too mild!! I had a word with a waiter about the heat of the Murgh Tanger as I had specifically asked for it to be medium and he immediately went to take the dish back to the kitchen. However, I said: No, I love the flavour; if I could have some tandoori mint sauce that will cool it down and it did. In fact it was delicious an interesting experiment!! We both really enjoyed our meal but agreed one main was too hot and the other too mild which we would remember next time. Yes, there will be a next time in fact we have booked for Christmas Day! We always prefer a good Indian meal to a Roast Turkey dinner and Cumin have got the job! We hope that we can give them a 5!!"
