Cumin-Indian Eats (High Street Place food hall)

Cumin-Indian Eats is an Indian restaurant inside the High Street Place food hall in downtown Boston. It specializes in flavorful dishes drawn from seven regional Indian cuisines and takes its name from cumin, celebrating that spice along with the wider heritage of Indian cooking. Expert chefs prepare each dish to capture the true essence of Indian food, with vibrant, healthy options aimed at vegetarians, vegans, and flexitarians.

Owner Ragoth Bala grew up vegetarian in India and moved to the United States in 2012, where he found satisfying vegetarian food hard to come by and many Indian meals too costly for everyday eating. After earning his MBA, he teamed up with co-founders to bring authentic, high-quality Indian food to American diners. The goal is to make vegetarian meals accessible and everyday-friendly while sharing India’s culinary traditions.
