"I would like to express my huge thanks to @Anuj for the wonderful food that he prepared for us for our baby shower event. We catered food for 40 people for gathering at our home. We have been ordering food from him past 2-3 years and royal Cumin is our go to place always. He listens carefully to your needs and prepares accordingly. Our Menu included all of the vegetarian options and I would say he didn’t disappoint us. I would definitely recommend this place. Note: I am writing this review for the first time since I thought it would be nice to thank him after all these wonderful years. Thanks again @Anuj"

"Today I was early for my hair appointment - while waiting, I decided to try this gem of a restaurant on Plains road in Burlington The owner - is an absolute wonderful man - such grace and compassion. I ordered the pea soup and a non vegetarian platter. The food presentation was great and the taste of the food was very tasty - the spice level was to my liking. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant"

"From Service to quality of food, I had a really good experience at Royal Cumin! I had the Amritsari Fish Tikka and the Non-vegetarian Meal Box which was a LOT for one person. They also serve Kingfisher beer which added to the good experience with Nostalgia! The owner, Sameer was very nice too and seemed like a hardworking and positive person Highly recommended spot for Indian food around Burlington! Give it a try!"

"Royal Cumin Burlington truly delivers an authentic Indian dining experience! Their mastery of spices creates that perfect balance of heat and flavor in every dish. The menu offers an impressive variety of regional Indian cuisines, from fiery vindaloos to aromatic biryanis. Absolutely worth visiting if you're craving genuine Indian flavors."

"I've been relying on Royal Cumin Tiffin Service for my meals for a while now, and I am genuinely so impressed—this service is truly excellent! The Non-Vegetarian Tiffins are consistently outstanding. The dishes are expertly seasoned, rich in flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every meal feels fresh and authentic, tasting just like great home-cooked food. Why Royal Cumin Stands Out • Amazing Taste: The food is delicious, with a wonderful, comforting quality. The spices are always spot-on (just as the name implies!), making the non-vegetarian options incredibly satisfying. • Fantastic Value: The pricing is exceptional. For the quality and generous quantity of food provided, Royal Cumin offers unbeatable value for money, making it easy to enjoy delicious meals without spending a fortune. I highly recommend Royal Cumin to anyone in need of a reliable, tasty, and budget-friendly non-vegetarian meal solution. I've already told all my friends and family about them—give them a try!"

"Wow! When I go to heaven Royal Cumin is coming with me! Burlingtons hidden gem! The spices are amazing and fragrant in all the dishes. The onion bajhi are moist, fresh and not dry. The chicken corma had white pieces so large you need a knife for these babies. The cumin rice flaky, moist and a perfect blend of spice. The naan bread is a perfect texture and buttery. You owe it to yourself to treat yourself and order from this excellent Indian Hakka restaurant."

"We’ve been loyal fans of Royal Cumin for years—they never disappoint! Recently, we hired them to cater a corporate event with a live tandoor station, and WOW, they knocked it out of the park! Even on a busy Sunday, Anuj Sahwal, the owner, went above and beyond. He helped us plan a killer menu, found an extra helper last minute, and made sure everything was perfect. The food? Absolutely delicious—our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The live tandoor station was a showstopper, and the cleanup was spotless. Anuj and his team were professional, super communicative, and made the whole day stress-free and fun. Our guests are still talking about it, and we’ll definitely be calling Anuj for all our future events. If you want amazing food and top-notch service, Royal Cumin is the way to go!"

"One of the best Indian food spots in Burlington! I ordered the chicken biryani and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked rice, great aroma, and amazing flavor. You can really tell they put effort into the quality of their food. I also picked up a tiffin from them and was very impressed. Fresh, homestyle, and satisfying. If you’re craving authentic Indian food, Royal Cumin is definitely worth trying. Highly recommended!"
