    VERY DISHONEST COMPANY. I placed an order with this company. Waited over two weeks for an item to restock. Setup a subscription and waited. They sent me someone else's order. It took them days to send me a return label and they promised to send the correct order. Here we are over a month later and they refunded my money silently without even fulfilling their promise. Customer support is seriously lacking. The photo is what they sent me. I only ordered 10 items. 7 of which were methi malai. Had I known they would do this to me I would have accepted the order as it was since they wanted to send me freebies..

    VERY DISHONEST BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE — ORDER AT YOUR OWN RISK! I was excited to order from this company and so we placed an order. Unfortunately we never received it and were charged for it anyways. Weeks later we still had not received the order and discovered that it was sent to another address in a completely different state. When we notified the company they just said that because it was delivered there was nothing they could do. IT WAS DELIVERED HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO WHO KNOWS WHO? Really? That is online retail 101, verify the address matches the billing and send the order to the right address. Had we not checked they would not even had addressed the issue at all and auto billed and shipped to the same wrong address forever. They get your money and nothing else matters. They need to be reported, this is criminal.

    Portion sizes are really small, and none of the meals are a good source of protein. They also don't have any spicy options - subtract three chilis from their scale if you've eaten Indian food anywhere else to get an accurate comparison. Also, the reviews on their website are fake. They don't let you leave a real review.

    Pretty sure they’re trying to target people with roots in India, but I’m just a white guy who’s lived in New York, DC, and Boston my entire life, and my wife is from Philly. Bottom line: This product is sensational. We recently moved to a rural area of the country with the nearest Indian restaurant like 45 minutes away. So glad I discovered cumin club - flavor wise, it’s actually a cut above your average good Indian food place in DC or Boston (NYC has places with literal Indian grandmas doing the cooking, so its a bit unfair to compare to that). It’s all freeze dried and so you have to rehydrate it in various ways, which I think is the secret to how it can be better than restaurants, let alone anything frozen from a box. Lastly, the variety is amazing - Yeah they have palak paneer, and it’s amazing, but they also have tons of other dishes with flavors we’ve never had before, and they’re all winners. Cherry on top is the ingredient list - super simple, no nonsense. Second cherry is the price. Protips: read the preparations on each dish as some require a pressure cooker, the Roti is actually fresh from Canada and not at all freeze dried, and definitely don’t sleep on the carrot dessert.
