"Cumin is a restaurant in Wicker Park serving Nepalese and Indian food. The menu is so long that it’s impossible not to find something you like, and there’s an extensive vegetarian section with options like vegetable pakora, samosas, and too many entrees to list. White tablecloths and a full bar make it a good choice for date night, or a nice weekend dinner with friends." - sam faye, adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor

"Cumin, one of Chicago’s popular South Asian restaurants, is planning to open a new two-story location in Lakeview. The original location in Wicker Park features Nepalese food alongside Indian items, offering buffets and a menu that earned a place on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list. The new venue will replace the former Mi Tierra at 1039 W. Belmont Avenue and will be part of a new four-floor building with three apartments. The ground-floor will have a bar and lounge with over 100 seats, while the second floor will be for private events. The new location aims to provide more vegetarian options and a creative bar menu. The opening is expected in late spring or early fall of 2020." - Ashok Selvam
