Bedouin in Cambridge

The food and service were excellent! We each had a tagine. They were delicious and we were all more than full by the time we were finished. Will happily visit again when next in Cambridge.

Outstanding! Great value. Lovely staff and the food was amazing! Too much to finish but I did my best! Thank you so much for fitting us into your already rammed restaurant as a walk in.

LOOK NO FURTHER — GO HERE! :D An absolute delight from start to finish! This gem serves up rich, authentic flavors with so much heart — every bite felt like a journey. THE BEST FOOD <3..Warm vibes, beautiful decor and exceptional hospitality. Huge thanks to Rosie, Yazan, and Amanda for taking such great care of us! :)

What a great place! Amazing ambience! Fantastic food! Excellent service! Lovely pickles dish to start with One fish tagine and one meatball tagine with rice and couscous and an extra tagine bread. Both very tasty and if you want to be really filled then go for the lamb meatball, so much cheese I was unsure I would be able to get up! This is a must visit place!

The food taste great I like the atmosphere of Northern Africa and friendly staff here

Asked us to move to another table for dessert, as another group of customers needed our table. At this point we were not keen in getting the dessert so asked to cancel the dessert and get the bill. THEN - they didn’t even take the dessert off the bill? I get that it’s a busy restaurant but never been asked to move to another table mid dining; and what if I didn’t notice the mistake and paid for something I did not get? Food was decent but this is not very professional. No proper apologies either. We got 2 starters, 1 tagine for share, 2 sides and 2 cocktails for two guests - reasonable amount of food and just 1.5 hours before ordering the dessert. We were not taking long. And still paid the service charge (fine with this but just in case anyone thinks we are in the wrong)

I don't like the service charge, in particular when the service is not good

The Restaurant has a very traditional and cultural decoration. Although the music playing was Lebanese haha The starter and dessert was amazing (Morrocan Chorba soup and Batnjan Bel Tahini) Mains: i got Tagine couscous+Lamb Shank. It was a bit messy to pick the lamb from the bone. The lamb was fire hot when served. We also got this couscous+chicken dish. Again, quite messy to pick chicken off the bone, but they were nice. Desserts: Eastern Mess was amazing. I didnt like the Mahlaba Ended up spending £95 for two people though 🫠

Came across this place by accident while looking for an iftar place. The food was great, their shorba was one of the best I’ve ever had; the atmosphere was great. It could have been more real and authentic had they had Thifinagh(thamazight) in their signs to represent Algeria properly and accurately. Other than that all was great apart that a dip of harrissa for 1.5£ is a bit expensive (hena 3emitouha)! Well for non North Africans it might be just fine especially being in Cambridge.

Great authentic atmosphere and decor. Very uncomfortable low hard-backed chairs. Food is average and completely overrated. At least one of our non-alcoholic cocktails was a rip-off - glass full of crushed ice with hardly any liquid. And, btw, they don’t serve alcohol in case it matters to you.

Had a fantastic lunch here. Authentic, delicious and a great atmosphere.

I love this place 🩷 the food is delicious, I came back to Cambridge and it was one of the restaurants I wanted to eat again

Great find great food great service and great atmosphere. We couldn't decide on a main so we had 4 starters to share. Everything was delicious.

First (and last) visited here about 8yrs ago, and really enjoyed it. It’s seemingly remained the same, and the food and atmosphere is fantastic.

We wish we would have come sooner. Everything was AMAZING, the food, the staff, the decor, the atmosphere, just Amazing. What i loved the most was that there was no alcohol served, so you could really enjoy the food. Will definitely come back as unfortunately we couldn't try the desserts.

I am so thrilled to have eaten here. It's truly authentic. Nothing is rushed. It is cooked fresh and the quality is indisputable. A lovely young man looked after us. He was charming and could not do enough to make our experience great. Authentic hummus, thr lamb tagine just fell from the bone, and the chicken with tahini sauce was succulent. The baklava was a nice touch to finish the meal. I can not wait to return

We had dinner here on a Saturday night, and it was quite busy. We had to wait for half an hour for a table, even though it was just past 6 p.m. It was clear that this is a very popular place, so making a reservation in advance would be a good idea. The environment was very cozy and lively, and the staff were all welcoming and friendly. The food was absolutely scrumptious. We ordered the Kemiette as a starter and the Felous M’asella and Tagine Beldi as our main courses. The Kemiette was delectable, and I would highly recommend it. We had to wait quite a while for our main courses, probably because of how busy they were, but it was certainly worth it. The Felous M’asella was very filling, and the Tagine Beldi was just right. Both of us really enjoyed our meal. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!

It's an absolute gem of a place. Need to book. It was packed on a Thursday!!! Food fabulous, service brilliant and friendly. Despite being ull, never felt rushed. Will be back next ime I visit Cambridge

A lovely restaurant. Couldn't fault it!

Thank you again for this warm welcome! Top team 🙏🏼 Looking forward to coming back inshAllah during our next visit to Cambridge. True Algerian hospitality! 🇩🇿 I would not hesitate to advertise to you

Love the food and the non alcoholic cocktails. Cozy ambience too. Highly recommend the lamb shank, its delicious! I've never had any luck walking in, so booking ahead of time is highly recommended.

Delicious food, beautiful interior and friendly service! Harissa roasted chicken was full of flavour and very tender. The tahini sauce with pomegranate on roasted aubergine was nutty and refreshing. Would love to visit again!

Wonderful food made with love and served with care. I really can't recommend it enough. It is one of the best restaurants in Cambridge!

Delicious food. Bit pricey but worth it. Drinks menu is really good.

Amazing food and lovely customer service! Definitely recommend

The staffs are so friendly And the food were really nice! We had the slow cook lamb , definitely recommend this one

Comida extremadamente sabrosa, personal muy educado, nuestro anfitrión Yazan era profesional, positivo, educado. En general estoy regresando seguro.

The food was great and delicious , the service was super good i would love to give Yazan 10 stars not only 5 as he was so so respectful , professional and kind. Would definitely recommend this restaurant the atmosphere was great and once again thanks Yazan for your great service .

Great food and service as usual!

Amazing food and great staff. Must visit if you are in Cambridge!

Super tasty. Good use of spices. Returning customer.

Best restaurant I've been to in Cambridge, we walked in when it was quiet, but it quickly filled up with bookings, they only just squeezed us in, so best book ahead. Seven Vegetables tagine was delicious, as was the chicken. Nice decor and good service too.

We’ve been to Bedouin several times as we love North African food. We love everything about the place: the atmosphere is very warm and cosy, the khayma (tent) effect is wonderful and the decor is fabulous; the welcome and service has always been great and very delicious food.

Fantastic food and cozy restaurant. The chorba hamra (a spicy tomato soup with chickpeas) was perfect for cold day and the lamb meatballs were delicious and perfectly-seasoned and piping hot throughout the meal. Would come back again

Very friendly and helpful service. Cozy, thoroughly thought-out atmosphere. Outstanding food quality! I cannot stress enough how good everything was. It also seemed very good value. Would come back in a heartbeat.

We ordered the lamb chops which contained 4xlamb chops and a small serving of fries the food overall was delicious a 9/11 but we ended up ordering 3 of those and it ended up taking about 45mins the food ended up really expensive overall we ordered 5 drinks the cocktails were really good we also ordered some king prawns as an starter witch was really good as well but it ended up coming g to about £92 but because of delay they charged us £86 the lights are very dim and the bathroom was very small from the prices of the food they should be able to afford lights as they were packed the tap barely worked and the toilet is very small

The food was great, and there were lots of options (inc vegetarian) and it also seemed relatively healthy . The atmosphere is warm and vibrant. Really enjoyed my evening here .

No estoy seguro de por qué a la gente le gusta este lugar ya que la comida es bastante común por decir lo menos. Solo puedo suponer que es la tienda en el desierto bs y el hecho de que tienen un montón de platos vegetarianos suaves. He estado un par de veces porque a mi amiga le gusta pero hace muy poco por mí.

Great food, tasty and good! Super nice service. The place is very popular and crowded, so sometimes it is a bit stuffy inside.

Everything was delicious and the service warm and welcoming.

Probé este lugar, ya que estaba muy cerca de donde nos alojábamos y estoy muy contento de que lo hicimos como la comida y el servicio era excepcional. Recomiendo encarecidamente los paquetes de espinacas y las albóndigas de cordero, ya que ambos fueron algunos de los mejores alimentos que he tenido durante todo este año. Nos atendió un tipo encantador cuyo nombre no entendí, pero nos enteramos de que era de Hungría. Él era excelente, muy atento e hizo toda la experiencia no solo sobre la excelente comida. Marcas completas por todas partes y volveré desafiante a probar algunos otros platos en el menú.

Great service and food is amazing and a cozy atmosphere value for money, deffo will visit again 👍

What an experience. The experience starts from the door and as you walk in you feel that you were transported to an authentic tent, very nice atmosphere. The food was just brilliant absolutely delicious and fast service with good portions. Our host Abdallah was really great! Highly recommended restaurant!

Truly fantastic meal. Great atmosphere, great service and even better food. Genuinely probably the best meal I've had in months. Really fantastic. Can't believe I lived in Cambridge for so many years and never went. Can't wait to go again!

We recently had an amazing lunch at Bedouin with family and friends, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. The flavours of the dishes were exceptional—rich, authentic, and beautifully spiced, with something to please everyone at the table. The tagines were especially delightful, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh and of high quality. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The decor is stunning, capturing the essence of North Africa, and the soft background traditional music added to the wonderful ambiance (we end up asking for the playlist). It’s clear the team puts a lot of care into every detail, and it made for a perfect evening. We will definitely be back soon! Highly recommended if you’re in Cambridge.

Amazing tasty authentic food, great setting huge portions and brilliant drink selection

On a date and this place was Awesome. No alcohol served ( plenty of warning before you book) and the food was fantastic.

Northern African amazing food. Great variety and incredible atmosphere 100% recommended

Very nice place, good vibes and great service..

Some of the best food I’ve ever had. The service was also really good and the restaurant had a nice calm ambiance.

Food was delicious and so satiating. Staff were also very friendly especially with dietary requirements. Would definitely go back if I lived nearby.

Excellent Algerian food. I recommend the DJEDJ M'HAMER. Portions are large but you can share main meals. No alcohol.

We are visiting Cambridge from London, this restaurant is phenomenal. The decor is perfect and the food was outstanding. We arrived around 5pm without a reservation and they very kindly accommodated us. Thank you for a fantastic meal!

Highly recommend Bedouin, service was efficient and genuine. Food authentic and captured the subtle North African flavours using traditional cookery methods and ingredients. Menu was just right, varied enough to provide lots of options but not confusing. Desserts delicious, the fig tart was a standout. Overall very tasty and welcoming unique dining experience not to be missed. Thank you for looking after us.

The hummus with lamb tips was absolutely delightful – we were tempted to order another but decided to save room for the mains. The Tajine was exceptional, with such a rich and savoury sauce that we couldn't resist ordering extra flatbread to soak up every last bit. The meal ended on a high note with the caramelised fig tart, which was the perfect sweet finish and had a lamb meatballs takeaway. Highly recommend making a reservation in advance!

The most tender lamb shank I have ever had.

Food is good, and the overall presentation of the restaurant is great. Main issue is that the service is pretty slow as there’s a lot of covers, and the seats are really quite uncomfortable which makes the wait for food feel even longer. We may have had bad luck, but our table was located right between the split in the cushions on the bench seat, and the cushion in my chair was pretty much perished. The low height of the tables is fine in itself, but does magnify any issues with the seats. So overall fine, but i would recommend they give all the seats a refurb sooner rather than later.

Thoroughly enjoyed an early dinner at this popular Algerian restaurant. The food was delicious and plentiful, priced about right and cheerfully served.

Excellent food, excellent service.

Estábamos buscando un almuerzo en Mill Road Cambridge (donde hay un montón de opciones) y elegimos el beduino porque nunca habíamos comido comida africana (y porque estaba abierto los sábados a la hora del almuerzo). ¡Fue realmente bueno! La comida era sabrosa, el servicio educado y era bastante buena relación calidad-precio. Consejo: No sirve alcohol. Recomendado!

Amazing service, but the food is the star of the show. We loved the Hanouinette, hummus with lamb, and chicken parcels. The tagines are heavenly and the desserts are irresistible, even after having eaten too much! Beautiful and cosy restaurant, fantastic atmosphere, staff who really seem to love their jobs. I’m lucky we live close by !

Absolutely amazing, one of the best restaurants in Cambridge! The food was so so good and the staff are so friendly and accommodating! I would recommend bedouin to everyone 😊

This place is by far, the best restaurant me and my husband have been to in a while. Stunning establishment, lovely staff.. quick service but obviously the food was outstanding! Would absolutely go again!

Wow, absolutely great. Service, food and atmosphere all fantastic. Please book in advance, very busy

Nearly as good as Zi’s peri peri (down the road).

Tagine beldi is super delicious.

This place totally lives up to its hype! Glad I followed the recommendations online and dined here. The food was super delicious and in large portions. It has a bedouin tent decor; and water and meals are served in traditional pottery, which makes up a cool ambiance. I had lamb liver for starters, lamb kofte for main meal, and the sunset djanet cocktail. Service was also great, I was waited by Yasin and Amanda who were both amazing. I understand prices are normal for Cambridge but totally a bargain compared to London given the quality!! Starters and cocktails around £7 and all mains around £15-£20. Also, they keep a halal kitchen and all coctails are non-alcoholic, which helps if you have Muslim dietary restrictions. (I could finally eat meat outside, hooray.) Overall, this place made my day, totally recommended. Definitely MAKE A RESERVATION in advance, I showed up without one and although it was Monday night they were fully booked. Luckily I was there early and they could accommodate me. As I was leaving, the place was full!

Marcas completas. Gran servicio y comida fantástica. Tagine Berkook era delicioso, grandes trozos de carne de res con un montón de ciruelas pasas y albaricoques. El jugo de limón y menta era muy refrescante.

Pequeño lugar pero vale la pena el trabajo para conseguir una mesa. La comida es de muy alta calidad. Los servidores son agradables y amables. Simplemente no pude intentar tantas cosas como quería, así que tendré que volver.

Seevice not good Food is not spicy at all... I ordered chicken and 1 lamb dish Not up to the mark... Service is poor

I went there for a birthday surprise meal for my husband, and the food was absolutely amazing! The portions were really big, and the quality of the food was outstanding! The staff were wonderful, and the interior made us feel so welcome! We will definitely be back again. Thank you once again for making our evening so special.

What a great place this is, delicious food, great environment. Can't fault it really.

We've eaten here several times and it honestly is one of the best meals out I've ever had. Last night we bought a couple of friends who live locally but have never been before, the wait staff were SO HELPFUL in finding us a table (I would always always recommend booking though a couple of days in advance, especially on a Saturday night, we just got Really lucky!) and our friends can't stop raving about the food. We tend to have Hummus Belaham and Bastille Dejej (a pleasant sweet/savoury surprise) to start and a tagine for main- my particular favourite is the beef which is always a huge, flavourful portion with a generous serving of meat. We travel into Cambridge often and will always try to eat here when we can, it's very reasonably priced and genuinely delicious food with great service in a gorgeous setting...what more could you ask for?!

It is an experience visiting this place , great ambience you could feel like you were in Africa apart from seeing the buses etc go past on Mill Road. Enjoyed the meal . Generous portions.

Hearty thanks to Caroline and her colleagues for a really wonderful meal today; fresh food, beautifully cooked and presented, kindly and efficient customer service. I highly recommend the Levantine Mousaka; I don't know what they used for dressing on the salad but it was delicious. Very good mint tea out of beautiful pots and glasses. Cosy decor, no loud music so easy to converse in a relaxed manner and very clean toilets. warmest regards, Karen

The staff are amazing. So friendly. The restaurant has beautiful decor. The menu is extensive and caters for vegetarians. The portions are generous. Food arrives piping hot and is beautifully presented. Thank for for such a lovely dining experience.

Such a lovely little restaurant (make sure to book). The restaurant was a little gem, and the staff were really welcoming, kind, and attentive. Ordered a couple of tagines, and they were amazing. Love everything about this place. Thank you so so much for a lovely evening.

Delicious Mediterranean food! I love the veggie couscous dish, it's so fresh and full of flavor. The service is wonderful and it's a lot of fun to finish off the meal relaxing on the pillows with a good cup of tea:)

I enjoyed an excellent meal at this popular North African restaurant, a favourite of a family member who lives locally. The decor is amazing, it feels as though you’re seated in a large tent filled with beautiful lanterns. The food doesn’t disappoint either - generous portions with interesting choices for vegetarians and meat eaters. Note, the restaurant is an alcohol free space.

This is the place you're looking for. Delicious food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Perfect from start to finish. We started with the feta/spinach starter, then had the lamb shank tagine with couscous and the roast chicken with rice. Looking forward to coming back in the future to try more dishes! The type of place when you're hoping it'll be nice and then they deliver on all fronts.

Me and my friend had a fantastic meal in Bedouin. Very good service, lovely decoration, great atmosphere. The food was delicious. I've been before and had the hoummus which is also delicious. The green beans are delicious so I would highly recommend any dish with them on. We didn't try the tagine as I'm not a fan, but others were having it and looked happy. They also have mocktails which looked amazing, maybe one for next time. Thank you Bedouin!

A very fine place to eat. Food was great. Kemiette and lamb. I will come back!

Food was amazing and came out fast. Large portion sizes and atmosphere was delightful. Will be visiting again soon!

We came to visit Cambridge for a couple of days and I had booked a table at Bedouin for dinner. Just WOW! This place is an absolute delight and we haven’t stopped talking about it since. Not only is the food amazing but the atmosphere was both relaxed and vibrant at the same time. It was cosy in a good way, warm and inviting just like the staff that served us. Nothing was too much trouble even when we’d decided we couldn’t fit desert in and then changed our minds! There was no way we couldn’t have desert after the glorious food we’d already tasted and we finished it all off with the mint tea which was delicious. We can’t thank you enough for a memorable evening that we won’t forget. If we ever venture back to the area we will definitely return. It wasn’t just a meal it was an experience and you could see we weren’t the only ones to notice because the place was full so we’d recommend booking too. Just brilliant!

The ambience of this restaurant is only topped by the quality of the food that is made here. The lamb tagine with cous cous and the Achet Khodar (Pastry Will with vegetables and feta cheese) were absolutely phenomenal! I will absolutely be coming back here again!

Perfect place! Tasty food, very kind staff, and it feels like being in Algeria with traditional music! 1, 2, 3, Viva l'Algérie!

Nice food, good value for money.

Great atmosphere with good food. Generous portions!

Beautiful food. Beautiful setting.

The food and drinks were incredible. Would 100% go back here again. The staff were also very lovely!

It was our first time trying North African cuisine, and it was absolutely delicious. The generous portions left us fully satisfied, and the warm, inviting atmosphere made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

Booked an early evening slot the day before. Was well aware that it did not serve alcohol and it was not BYO. The food was absolutely lovely. We had the Large Kemiette with an extra brick pastries. These were a selection of dips with some pitta breads which all tasted lovely. The Brik pastries with feta and spinach in were very good and the Brik pastries with chicken in was a little different as it had sugar in top but the combination worked well and it was a real highlight. This starter was large for two people, so take note. Im quite a big eater and was already a little full before the main came out. I chose the Tagine Kefte Bedaoui- lamb meatballs in a tomato sauce with cheese on top and an egg. It was absolutely lovely. Incredibly hot and it was a large portion of four large meatballs served with warm flatbreads. I'd over indulged on the starter and could not get near finishing it. I took the rest home for the following day and it tasted as good as I remember. The lamb meatballs were beautifully seasoned with various herbs and spices and tender and the tomato sauce they were in was rich and thick and worked perfectly in my opinion. Don't think of this as an Italian style meatballs in tomato sauce, it was very different but worked so well. The staff were polite and prompt, exactly as you would want. I would thoroughly recommend and am hoping to go back soon.

Brilliant good food and Halal too.

A little gem tucked away on Mill Road. Wonderful decor and ambience, always popular with locals and visitors alike. Delicious dishes and a unique ambience. Highly recommended.

My partner left a review already, but we've been here twice in two days because it's so good :)

It was so difficult to pick one dish because everything sounded amazing! The food was incredibly tasty and the perfect portion size. The decor is very interesting and blends really well with the food which overall creates a really nice experience. Will definitely come back!

Great food nice atmosphere place recommend

Every part of this meal was divine! The starter selection was tasty, the tajine was great, the drinks were marvellous. Just a great place to have a meal!

The food was DELICIOUS and the staff were very friendly especially Yazan. Highly recommended.

Extremely tasty food in wonderful surroundings with first rate service at what we consider to be reasonable prices. Highly recommended!
