"I’ve ordered from Urban Turban by VeerGi multiple times, and this order was another great experience. The Chole Bhatura was excellent, with flavorful chole that had a rich, well-balanced spice profile and tasted freshly prepared. The bhaturas were soft, fluffy, and generously sized, making the portion more than satisfying.
The food arrived well packaged, and everything was still fresh when I opened it. I especially appreciated that the curry was packed securely with no spills or leaks. The quality and consistency have been impressive across multiple orders, which is one of the reasons I keep coming back.
The portions offer great value for the price, and the flavors feel authentic and comforting. It’s not always easy to find restaurants that consistently deliver both quality and quantity, but Urban Turban has done that for me. The ingredients tasted fresh, the food was filling, and the overall experience exceeded expectations.
Highly recommend the Chole Bhatura to anyone looking for a satisfying meal. Looking forward to ordering again soon!"

"I genuinely order this every week or every other week. Most amazing food ever. My friend has been to Michelin Indian places and says this is legit better when I made her try it.
I tell everyone about this place because it's the best Indian I've had in my life. Also the price is great because they give a lot of food."
"The Crab Curry was definitely the standout item for me, nicely spiced and with a very large portion of crab for the price. The Saag Paneer we had asked for spicy but it really wasn't spicy at all, though we still enjoyed it. I found the Murgh Sagwala to be too salty for my taste. I would have preferred it to be more spicy than salty, which I thought it would be from the description. The food was packaged very nicely in a paper bag and good containers, thank you for no styrofoam! Overall, I prefer spicier Indian food (guess I need to go to Devon for that) but I'd come back to order the crab curry again. If you prefer a more mild take on Indian food this place might be perfect for you though! Maybe if you eat at the restaurant rather than delivery they can make it more spicy, I'll have to investigate more if I am ever in the area and craving Indian food."

"The Rasmalai (3 pieces) was good, not great. But the other dishes were a huge improvement from the last time. The Chicken Roast will last for a long while because there was so much, and it was complex and delicious. The Tandoori Chicken (2 pieces) was succulent, and the Goat Dum Biryani was also delicious and, again, came packed to the brim. The Railway Station Onion Samosa (5pieces) are always great."

"bro these Veg Samosas are so fire like genuinely. they give you 2 sauces and you can be super generous with them and HOLY it's so good. they're fat and crispy (not soggy at all), and you pour the sauces over them and take a huge bite and it makes you wanna cry because of how yummy they are (also they're consistently good, i've ordered multiple times)
the pizzas are also very good in general (the samosas take the cake, but the pizzas are still awesome sauce) i got the Firecracker Pizza🔥 and it's less flavorful than the samosas (or rather the sauces), but still amazing and pretty sweet and the size i ordered came with ranch which helps with the flavor difference!!"

Unfortunately, I failed to request utensils. :(
Good thing I also order some garlic Naan to eat it the traditional way. :)"
"The Veg. Platter (Chef Recommended) is so good! Plenty to share, tasty, nice variety of delicious foods.
We love the Kasmari Naan. It is gently flavored, just a little sweet, but not so much that it can only sit at the dessert table. Kasmari Naan can sit at any table.
Everything was packed so well, I was expecting a few things to have spilled in the process, but everything was perfect and closed tight. It was warm, fresh, and wonderful.
I could say so much more, and all of it would be enthusiastically positive. We hope to order from this restaurant again in the future."

"This is my go-to place for my favorites: Lamb Sahi Korma and Rasmalai - other places sometimes add tomato to their korma sauce but Cumin - Their korma is rich, creamy bright yellow and has just a subtle tinge of heat.
Their Rasmalai are perfect: firm, but moist throughout and not grainy at all.
The Bhatura are great too - a lot of places 'fry' their naan or poori in a skillet or on a griddle, which usually just results in the bread being gross and oily instead of crispy - Cumin flash fries their bread properly so it forms these awesome big crispy bubbles.
other outstanding things I've had from here include their papadam, raita, poori, naan, garlic naan, peshwari naan and Gulaab Jaamun
I'm very picky about my Indian cuisine and I used to have to order certain things I like from different places because I couldn't find a single restaurant that actually makes all the things I like and makes them all really well... until I tried Cumin - since then this has become the only Indian place I order from!"

"Not authentic North Indian food at all. The butter chicken was honestly one of the worst I’ve had almost no flavor, and the chicken tasted stale. The chicken lollipops were tiny and mostly just coating with barely any chicken. Very disappointing."
"The food is good and not extremely spicy but the Bhindi Masala did not have enough okra and had large chunks of onions which had more onions than okra. Okra is cheap and doesn't cost a lot."

"I think this was really good! It was the perfect price and the portion was really big . The only thing I would have liked is if they would have sent a small tikka masala sauce on the side instead of the two sauces they sent. Those two sauces didn't go well with the burrito & it was kind of dry. But overall would order again and it is a great value for the cost."

"A wonderful and healthy option that brings the taste of home. I would absolutely recommend it with a 10/10 rating. My only concern is with the packaging lid—it seems a bit weak and can get damaged during delivery, sometimes leading to spillage."
"The Chole Puri was very unflavored. I was waiting for a day off to order from here and after paying nearly $20 for one dish, I was very disappointed in the flavor of something claiming to be authentic."

"The Paneer Kadai was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced — just like a proper Indian dhaba-style dish, with soft paneer soaking in that bold masala. But the real star was the Rabdi — thick, creamy, and beautifully sweet with hints of cardamom and saffron. It tasted just like home, pure comfort in every bite!"

"First time ordering here and the 406. Chicken Tikka Masala and the 401. Chicken Curry were both excellent! Good level of spice that tasted great but didn't have my mouth on fire. Oh, the 701. Naan portions were HUGE and so so good. Really convenient pickup window on the sidewalk so we didn't even have to go inside. Will definitely be ordering again!"
"Omg I love them. I'm not going anywhere else I ordered the butter chicken and it asked about spice level, I wanted medium, but still a good kick... so I said I want to sniffle a little and OMG they have perfected it. Lastly, do not skip out on the garlic naan, you will not be disappointed. Portion size was good for one, sorry I forgot a pic I was so hungry and dug in."
