The Anand family has a long & successful history of catering, originating from the Punjab, North India, the family migrating to East Africa. They came to the UK in 1975 & have been in the catering business ever since. Their first restaurant in the UK was The Brilliant, followed by Madhu’s, both in Middlesex. The Anand family brought their catering to Nottingham nearly 30 years ago & the Anand brothers Sunny & Shelley, opened their own restaurant The Cumin.

Opened in 2007, the Cumin is situated just a stone’s throw from the Market Square and Nottingham Castle. The restaurant offers a true taste of North Indian and Punjabi Cuisine.

The restaurant is split over two floors. Our first floor offers more privacy from the road and is the ideal venue for private and corporate functions, with a full sound system, which you or a Dj can plug into.
