American Roadhouse in Forest Heath

We had an amazing time. The food was lovely, it felt like being on holiday. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely come back again in the future.

So, I thought I'd been drinking hot chocolate on and off from my early childhood through to my midlife. No. I was fooled. I was lied to. Tonight, really was the first occasion in 40 or so years that I actually experienced authentic hot chocolate. The Bedford Lodge Hotel has set the bar. It was almost wrong to drink. Was this a dream? Was this a quarter of a pint of melted chocolate under a whipped cream topper? It was a life event. Yum.

Refused indoor service from owners nephew because I had an assistance dog. He walked over pointing at my dog whilst the whole restaurant witnessed this. Never had this happen before. It’s illegal to refuse an assistance dog. Been a regular here for many years and safe to say I won’t be returning. In future I recommend going to The Anchor in Burwell amazing Thai food, brilliant professional service and same previous owner from Thai street.

We have been going to Montaz since it opened with family, friends, for great occasions and just for fun. It has always been our favourite Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant in the Cambridge area. We also think that it is one of the best in England and this is not just my opinion but that of many friends from London who compare it to the best that the capital city offers. We had not eaten at Montaz for a while (we had done take away) and it was great to be there, to discuss the dishes, plan a great meal and enjoy the atmosphere. This was a new menu and so we went to town experimenting with these new dishes. We started with a special Lamb's Liver Somosas. Don't be put off, they were brilliant and fragrant with tamarind sauce and chutney. The Chicory Chat was delicious and refreshing. The main courses were suberb. The Tandoori Guinea Fowl was tender, crisp outside and full of great tandoor flavours. The Talapia Fish with Green Beans was in a rich unctuous sauce and melted in your mouth. Duck Chilli Korai was just one of the best Korai dishes that I have ever had with tender duck morsels with a great depth of flavours. The Paneer Makhani had such a great buttery, tomato sauce. I adore mushroms but the Mushroom Hara Pyaz was out of this world with the mushrooms, peppers and onions making a perfect mushroom dish. Yes, a great meal.

I booked a table on Wednesday for the Friday night, when we arrived i told the waitress that I had a table booked, she was not interested and didn’t ask my name. When we sat I noticed that the name on the menus was not ZEYTIN but was CAPPADOCIA I told my son that this is not what I booked two days ago. I am not very adventurous but I did like the menu online. Unfortunately the menu was quite different and I was not happy, most of the meals were a lot more expensive than what was on the ZEYTIN menu. For instance the ‘shush’ ’ was £16.50 but in the ‘different’ restaurant they were £19…….and so I struggled to be able to pay for the meal. I asked if there was now two Turkish restaurants but was told no…..this is the only one, but no apology or explanation for it being a totally different place. £113 later I couldn’t wait to get out of there and certainly will not be going back.
