Atlanta — The Cumin Bowl, Chicago’s popular Indian restaurant known for its soulful, healthy customizable Indian bowls, has opened its doors to diners in and around the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta. Located at UPop, the upscale convenience store by Savi Provisions, the brand’s entrance into the Atlanta area was facilitated by Atlanta-based Franklin Junction, the restaurant e-commerce network that provides customers with access to some of the hottest restaurant concepts nationwide.
The Cumin Bowl’s Buckhead location brings the brand one step closer to reaching its goal of expanding into 25 cities across the U.S. by the end of 2022. The Cumin Culinary Brands, the parent company of The Cumin Bowl and Indian food meal kit brand The Cumin Club, successfully launched its first fast-casual concept in Chicago last year.
“We’re passionate about making healthy Indian food more accessible to all Americans, one bowl at a time,” says Ragoth Bala, co-founder of The Cumin Culinary Brands. “The Cumin Bowl’s menu features curated dishes from throughout India, but with a familiar flair that customers will enjoy. We believe Indian food will soon be a staple in Americans’ weekly lunch and dinner routines, along with Chinese, Mexican and Italian cuisines.”
“We’re thrilled to introduce The Cumin Bowl’s fresh take on Indian food to Atlanta and add The Cumin Bowl to our roster of brands that span across a variety of cuisines,” says Rishi Nigam, CEO and co-founder of Franklin Junction. “Our Host Kitchen network enables us to offer authentic, high-quality brands like The Cumin Bowl to people all across the country.”
In addition to The Cumin Bowl restaurants, The Cumin Culinary Brands provides 5-minute Indian meal kits that customers around the U.S. can make at home, under the brand The Cumin Club. The direct-to-consumer meal kit subscription service offers curated meal plans drawn from authentic regional Indian cuisines, with meals curated by local chefs across India, freeze-dried, and delivered to customers’ doorsteps for $4.99 per meal.
Chicago-based The Cumin Culinary Brands operates two innovative brands, The Cumin Bowl and The Cumin Club. The Cumin Bowl opened its first location in Chicago and is slated to open locations in 25 cities by the end of 2022. The Cumin Club delivers soulful, vegetarian, chef-curated Indian dishes that go from packaging to plate in under 5 minutes. For more information, visit www.thecuminbowl.com.
