Private Dining in Nottingham: Book Your Event at The Cumin

Looking for a private dining venue in Nottingham for a special occasion, business event or family celebration? The Cumin offers a dedicated first-floor dining space on Maid Marian Way, providing a more private setting while still giving guests the food, atmosphere and hospitality of an established Nottingham restaurant.

Located in Nottingham city centre between Old Market Square and Nottingham Castle, The Cumin has been serving authentic North Indian and Punjabi cuisine since 2007. Our first-floor space is available for private events including corporate dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings and other special occasions.

A space designed for private events

The Cumin is set over two floors, with our first floor offering a more private setting away from the main restaurant.

The space is particularly well suited to events where you want your own area while still enjoying the character and atmosphere of The Cumin. Bollywood-inspired interiors, a fully stocked bar and our restaurant kitchen create a setting that works for both relaxed celebrations and more formal occasions. Our private dining space can be used for a range of events, including:

  • Corporate dinners and business functions
  • Birthdays and milestone celebrations
  • Anniversaries and engagements
  • Family gatherings
  • Private parties
  • Business meetings and presentations
  • Other special occasions

Both floors have a fully stocked bar, so however you’re hosting, guests have access to a proper wine, cocktail, and Indian beer selection to go with the meal.
If you’re planning an event and aren’t sure whether the space is suitable, contact our team to discuss your requirements.

A Private Event Space in Nottingham City Centre

The Cumin is located at 62–64 Maid Marian Way, Nottingham, NG1 6BJ, making it a convenient central location for guests travelling from across Nottingham and the surrounding area.

Our first-floor dining space provides more privacy than the main restaurant and includes a full sound system, making it suitable for events that require music, speeches, presentations or other entertainment. The restaurant’s Bollywood-inspired interiors are influenced by the glamour and style of 1950s and 1960s Bollywood, with rich gold, red and grey tones creating a distinctive setting for an evening or celebration.

Both floors also have a fully stocked bar, offering a selection of wines, cocktails and Indian beers to complement your meal.

Authentic Indian Food for Your Private Event

Food is at the heart of every event at The Cumin.
Our kitchen specialises in authentic North Indian and Punjabi cuisine, prepared using traditional recipes, fresh ingredients and carefully selected spices.
Depending on your event, our team can discuss suitable menu options, from a traditional Indian banquet to a more flexible sharing-style meal.

Popular choices include dishes from our tandoori selection, traditional curries, biryanis and regional specialities such as our signature Karahi Gosht and Methi Murg. We also offer a wide choice of vegetarian and vegan dishes, making it easier to cater for groups with different dietary preferences.

If you’re organising a private dinner or celebration, speak to our team about your guest numbers and menu requirements and we’ll be happy to discuss the available options.

Private Dining for Corporate Events in Nottingham

A private dining space can be a great alternative to a traditional meeting room or large event venue for business occasions.

The Cumin’s first-floor space is suitable for corporate dinners, business meals, client entertaining, meetings and presentations, with the in-house sound system providing additional flexibility for events that require audio.

A private setting also allows your group to enjoy dinner together without the distractions of a busy restaurant environment. Whether you’re entertaining clients, organising a team dinner or arranging a business function, our team can discuss the most suitable dining and menu options for your event.

Private Parties and Family Celebrations

Private dining isn’t just for business events. The Cumin’s first-floor space can also provide a memorable setting for birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, family gatherings and other celebrations.

Rather than hiring a conventional function room, you can enjoy your own private setting while having access to an established restaurant, a fully stocked bar and freshly prepared Indian food.
Our team can discuss your plans in advance and help you choose an appropriate menu for your occasion.
