Golden Curry in Cambridge

Friendly and helpful staff, good menu and sensible prices. Always busy - popular destination. Give it a try! Parking can be tricky - allow a few minutes.

I am so disappointed this fabulous restaurant has closed... have been using it for 15 years.. where do i go now!! Always had good service - excellent food and many good memories... Will be a struggle to find another Indian to fill it's place

This restaurant has closed very recently and taken over by what appears to be a non-Bangladeshi outfit.

Fifteen of us went to the Golden Curry for after a golf event in April to celebrate. I am so disappointed at the number of so-called 'Indian' restaurant (that are actually Bangaladeshi) that simply serve the same generic slop - stock sauces with meat or veg added at the point or order - Meat swimming in pink and orange sauce with little resemblance of any 'proper Indian' food. The Golden Curry is down there with the worst !!

My wife and I have come back to the Golden Curry time and time again, both for eating in and taking away. We’ve been hard pressed to find a better Indian takeaway in Cambridge. Despite India being a largely vegetarian country, many Indian restaurants in the UK tend not to spend much time on their vegetarian plates. The Golden Curry is an exception. The waiters are also very friendly. Well worth a visit.

We ordered a lamb tikka jalfrezi which my partner loved and I had a chicken tikka balti. Flavours of the curries were lovely but so full of onions. In mine I got 6 pieces of meat one of which I couldn’t eat as it was all gristle. Pilau rice was so highly spiced (cloves we think, or nutmeg /cinnamon) that I had to ask for a plain boiled rice. To be fair I don’t think they charged me for that.

Very rude staff - not interested in serving us. Lamb was as tough as leather, but sauce was okay Would not recommend a visit.

I was in Cambridge staying near the station on business for the week. I Took a chance on this restaurant having been turned away for not having booked at another restaurant. Service was really fast and the food was a really good. Lots to choose from .. maybe too much. I was so pleased with dinner that I took a business colleague to it 2 nights later.

I came here on a business trip to Cambridge - there was a choice of 3 curry houses on this stretch of road, I chose this one. The service was responsive and friendly, average popadom chutneys, a well cooked lamb curry and an excellent tarka dhal. Nothing special, but very good, and reasonably priced.

This curry house has been here for years and it has had ups and downs, but since it got refurbished a couple of years ago, it has certainly been on the up.

Have been here twice recently, both midweek visits and found the food and service to be very good.Great popadoms served quickly, good selection of the usual favourite main courses and a few more unusual combinations. Rice was excellent. Prices are reasonable, recommended.

I take my hat off to the Golden Curry. The quality of the food is faultless with an excellent selection of curries from the standard fare to the more unusual. Service is speedy, beer is cold, the restaurant is comfortable and the bill won’t be...

This place has great Indian food, but the total experience is marred by the rubbish service. It has a reputation for excellent food and is jam packed at the weekends. They know they are going to be busy so totally do not try to treat...

I've booked an table for 14 of us as I've booked 2 week's ago in advance a family and friend meal out for Christmas, Great service warm welcome great friendly staff food so delicious the reason I am rating this really low is the fact as we got our main course we were half way through, as a large number group arrived in the restu rant, The manager in the baige blazer had approached to us had asked if we wanted anything else, as we were still digging through our mains and immediately after we were given the check without anyones request!, most of us were not completely finished! we were told to leave in a unmannered way the bartender as I witnessed the bartender unhygenically used his bare hands to serve ice in soft drinks also he was gazing at our table as if we're not welcomed anymore as I believe this is very suspicious this has ruined our family reunion day for our Christmas get together. I Would Personally Not Recommend This To Anyone I Am Very Disappointed With Golden Curry I've Been Coming Here On And Off.....

Después de luchar para encontrar un lugar donde comer en una noche de sábado sin reserva nos tropezamos con lo que parece desde el exterior para ser un buen restaurante indio. Entramos para que nos dijeran que está a unos 15 minutos de espera para una mesa. . No es un problema. 15 minutos más tarde no había ninguna mesa 30 minutos después no había mesa. Sobre esta 30 minutos 2 conjuntos de asiduos llegó también sin reserva y nos sentaron bien a la especificada de 15 minutos. Nos preguntamos qué era lo que sucedía y me dijeron que no, y dado la mitad de largo sir una pinta de cerveza el peor que he probado jamás. Finalmente nos sentamos. Pedimos un entrante cada que no estaba mal. El principal de los otros para mí era tan buen gusto como un flip flop con suela de cuero en un mercado blackpool separadas. El curry pedí vino con crema como se describe en el menú lo que ponía era que yo era una turbina de lata crema spray Añadiendo a esto, el lado de coliflor bhaji que era enormemente hecha podría haber comido el plato a través de una pajita. La única razón por la cual el resultado no es menor porque el servicio de la mesa era muy buena y un precio justo, sobre todo por la cantidad no la calidad de la comida que se sirve.

its not that easy to find a really good curry house even in Cambridge, some have closed over last few years, but Golden curry is always up there on good food and friendly service , there were 6 of us all different choices every body very happy with the food, get in there and enjoy a good curry :-)

Siempre una cálida bienvenida cuando nos visite y siempre disfrutamos de nuestra comida, ya sea antes o después de una o dos cervezas :), Trace normalmente tiene pollo shakuti mientras me gusta probar algo diferente cada vez. . . Nunca tuvimos una mala comida, y esperamos prólogo de volver en un futuro no muy lejano

Llegué con mi novia, y tengo que decir que uno de los mejores restaurantes que he estado! Ambiente agradable y un servicio muy amable.

We have passed the Golden Curry many times and heard mixed reviews, this time we decided to take the plunge and go in. As we entered, the smell hit us and we quickly decided it would be nicer to stay and eat than have a take away, being it was a busy Saturday night that wasn’t possible, the place is very popular and come to think of it, every time we wonder past its full! We ordered our food which exceeded our expectations! The food was tasty, the sauce was rich and smooth and NOT covered with that layer of oil which some curry houses give away for free! I would suggest to be more generous with the meat, the pieces were small and few and the rice boxes are also small portions. We would definitely choose to return and feel that a visit to the restaurant would be best in comparison to ordering a take away. The price is reasonable for mill road and honestly I think we have found our new favorite.

My stomach is usually used to any type of cuisine, I travelled the world and tried many types of food but after eating their ‘butter chicken’ I got the worst indigestion ever (I don’t give you the details...) this was way too greasy, it s literally chicken floating on butter... Indian food has always been my favorite cuisine but after this I m not ever sure I ll be able to eat another butter chicken one day!

Food was tasty, authentic and served by attentive, friendly staff. Menu is extensive and staff able to provide good advice on dishes not previously eaten. Cost was reasonable too.

After walking out of the Golden Curry 2 years ago for trying to make us wait a hour for a booked in advance table we thought it was time we gave them the chance to improve on the last visit.We arrived on time it was not busy and our table was all ready for us to occupy which was an improvement already as last time we didn't even eat. This time everything was perfect and the food was the tastiest curry have think I have ever had. it just all tasted so fresh. This place already has a very god reputation in Cambridge and all I can add is that it is throughly deserved. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Friendly and attentive staff service first class. Beautiful meal everything cooked to perfection. Recommended

Good food, nice atmosphere to eat in! A few friends and myself came to dine, i usually order a take away but tonight we thought we would eat out! Loved it!

We went here to shelter from a rain storm and had a very pleasant meal.We're all vegetarians and had two mains, and three vegetable side dishes and had plenty between the four of us.Good value and chilli did not overpower the other spices in the meal.I'd definitely go back again.

We regularly go to the Golden curry. Consistently good with large portions. Nothing fancy, just good straightforward curry. Friendly, efficient service.

Great atmosphere! Great food! Could not fault a single thing! Will be returning again! Highly recommended+++

Remarkably run of the mill curry. Definitely overpriced. But worst bit is hovering and pushy waiters - totally ruined it for me I'm afraid.

Nothing too fancy, just a great Indian for a nice evening out. not a sloppy take-away boozy indian, not a fancy quirky Indian, just in the middle. Once they took quite a while to serve the food, but I won't hold it against them as they were really polite about it and they were having a very busy evening. The seating arrangement is good, you don't feel too packed in, roses on the table and metal trays for curries are a nice touch. The chicken jalfrezi is my standard order and always done well, as are the peshwari naans. Good value as well.

I have been eating in this restaurant for over 20 years and seen some changes though some of the staff remain. The food we had this week was excellent, good portions flavoursome with a zing. Service was friendly but not in your face and as always good value. I would choose this restaurant over Prana any day of the week. AND it is not pretentious. We will be back!

Always great , superb service , food is top draw . It is always good never alters from very good.Service is always attentive without being ott.

I spent my 51st birthday with 15 of my best friends at the Golden Curry and cannot recommend the restaurant highly enough. The food was superb. Each one of us was very impressed with the menu, vegetarians and vegans were catered to as well as meat eaters and every plate was left empty. The service was spot on. The waiters were attentive without being pushy, we started with poppadoms and assorted dips which were fresh and in plentiful. None of us felt pressurised to hurry our starters and the waiters were very attentive and kept their distance whilst we were eating. The mains came at the same time with none of us were kept waiting. The bill for 15 people including drinks came to £265, We left a £25 tip because we were that impressed. Superb. Thanks to all the staff. You made my birthday very memorable, thank you.

I've been coming to the Golden Curry for a couple of years now, cannot fault the quality of the meals whatsoever. The portions are always large and the food always freshly cooked, not greasy and at a decent price. The guys who works in the restaurant are ever so friendly and welcoming. Hands down the best in Cambridge.

Having previously visited a number of times in small groups but also a large group of 20, I thought it would be the perfect place to host a dinner for a special birthday celebration. I booked a table for 20 people 3 weeks ago and from the first call, they were rude but I put it down to a one off. I called on the day to change our booking from 20 to 15, which they said was fine. On arrival I was told I had changed it to from 20 to 17 and now 15. This was categorically not the case - I specifically said it three times on the phone to confirm that my party would be 15 and that I was sorry for the inconvenience. Saying that, I called up early afternoon and our reservation was not until the evening - it is located on a busy street in the City where they take walk-in bookings everyday. We were seated across three separate tables which in itself was an issue but this actually wouldn't have been too much of a problem if we had received good customer service. However, they were then incredibly rude and rushed us to order after 10 minutes of arriving, when we were still waiting for 4 people to join us. The whole time we were there I felt like we were an inconvenience. Throughout the evening we were spoken to very abruptly and it felt very rushed. It is hugely disappointing as I picked this restaurant to celebrate a special birthday for a family member and so many of our party commented on how we poorly we were treated.There are other Indian restaurants in Cambridge with far better customer service and I am only disappointed that we didn't book elsewhere. It's a shame as last year we enjoyed a lovely celebration there but for the poor customer service only, I will not return.

If you like Indian cuisine these can be your place , the food was really good and cheap , the waiter wasn't bad , but don't give us to much attention and they make us wait half an hour for the dinner , so If you like Indian food and don't mind to wait is a nice place where you should visit at least once

That is a proper Indian restaurant. Very impressed with the quality and the variety of food. Nice environment and quick service. Strongly recommended.

The food and the service are consistently good. Very friendly and helpful. Lovely to have real linen tablecloths and serviettes. It would be nice to have specials on the menu. Good value.

We went on New Year's Day evening, so it was quiet. Service was great. Popadoms on arrival. Starters nice, but prefer pakora not in batter. Main courses very generous and tasty. Would recommend.

We visited here with a large group of friends. The staff here were very accommodating and patient while we waited for others to arrive before ordering. Food was brought to the table quickly after ordering and was delicious, cannot fault it. Portion sizes are really big, I did struggle to eat it all but always better to have more. In the end we spent about three hours here, we weren't made to feel like we had to leave quickly either. The atmosphere here was great too, would recommend a visit.

Consistently one of the best restaurants (atmosphere, service, food) in Cambridge. Not just one of the best 'curry restaurants' ... one of the best restaurants. It's what's kept us coming back for more after 13 years. What else can I say?!

We've been coming here for years as a family! The food is extraordinary - they truly take care of us!

I was in Cambridge and visited this restaurant as a lone guest. The food was, was I thought very good, no complaints there. The problem was my curry was brought on a wooden tray in a metal dish with two metal handles. When I touched the dish I was badly burned, I shouted in pain and within a few seconds blisters had formed on my fingers and thumb. I asked the waiter to bring me some iced water which he did and later the manager brought an ice bag. I made the best of my evening and at one point the manager brought me some ointment. The apologies were half hearted, I had not been warned of the ridiculously high temperature of the metal bowl. When I came to settle the bill, there was no gesture to try to make up for my injury and I was charged extra (about 1/2 the bottle price) for a glass of wine, "because it was a large glass" I was told. No reduction in the bill and incredibly I was then asked how much gratuity I wanted to leave. I am so sorry to leave a negative review, but customer care here was sadly lacking. Maybe this was a one off, but be careful if you visit.

Curries were really bland, under seasoned and lacking flavour. Absolutely no vegetables in any of them, just a little meat and a lot of homogenous sauce. Service was quite intrusive, we were interrupted a lot! Wouldn't bother with again.

In Cambridge for work, and popped in here because it was conveniently on the way to my hotel. Very nice food, quick service, pleasant staff, good price (£12.75 for poppadoms, dansak with pilau rice and lassi). I'd go again.

Llegamos media hora antes de que cerrarán y nos atendieron. La comida salió rapidísima pero cuando llegó la hora no nos dijeron nada pero se notaba que querían cerrar, comimos rapidísimo para irnos cuanto antes. La comida esta muy buena pedimos un arroz, dos currys uno recomendación del restaurante era de mango y tikka masala para ir a lo seguro, con dos cervezas y un pan con queso. Con la cuenta nos regalaron dos chocolatinas. El restaurante bueno la única pega que tuvimos que comer corriendo porque querían cerrar.

We came here as we regularly walk past and admire the impressive naan breads. Service was good, the curry was super tasty, lamb tender, rice was fluffy, and the naan tasted as good as it looked! Hot plates were also provided to keep the food warm. The price was reasonable, overall a great Indian and good value for money.

I dined alone here on route to an overnight stay, and found it perfectly pleasant. The curry had a nice deep flavour, and the naan bread light and fluffy. The prices were competitive and overall, I was very happy. The one thing to improve would be some mint raita with the poppadoms, but this is a small complaint on a brilliant choice of dishes.

I have eaten here many times over the years and always found the food good and the staff friendly and helpful. The last time I ate here my partner had ordered some type of medium hot curry but got a bit of a shock when he decided to bite into a thin green chilli, at this point one of the very friendly staff took the dish away and added something to cool it down. I told my partner that he was daft to bite in to a thin chilli but his point was it was on the plate of a medium hot curry so could expect to eat it!

First we had papadam and thereafter different dishes with rice - all was very tasty.The service was friendly and informed on what was eventually too spicy etc.All in all a good restaurant.

We were a group of 20 people, having a group dinner at Golden Curry. The staff was not very friendly when taking our orders. We had to ask for glasses explicitly when water was served. When we asked for the bill, they were reluctant to give separate bills. Instead, they randomly assigned dishes onto two bills and made mistakes on the amount. A small group of us ended up paying for food that we didn't order. What was worse, they blamed one of my colleagues for that, as they had 'informed' her of such mistakes. Lastly, he shouted at us, as he was 'interrupted' during calculating the remaining amount to be paid, and the reason was only because he kept talking and we reminded him to focus on the calculating.

Poperdoms nice, good quantity of pickle tray.Starters were not what we are used to. Chicken Chat was very spicy. The lamb dansac was inedible. Staff were rushing us not a good evening

Bearing in mind this was a group 11 blokes after a long drinking day (well behaved of course) we were served with courtesy and the food was very good

I was introduced to the Golden Curry restaurant about fifteen years ago. It has always offered great food and service. The staff are some of the nicest people you will meet in a Cambridge restaurant. You can have have a joke with them. I always enjoy the food, chicken compass is so tasty as well as other dishes.The atmosphere is nice, there's always a good vibe here.The Golden Curry is part of what makes Mill road great.It's nice to see it busy, hope I get another fifteen years with you. Thanks

Fancied a pre-festival curry! The food and service was excellent. We have family who live locally and will certainly be visiting the Golden Curry again.

We visited as a group of 4 on Saturday evening and had a lovely meal.The restaurant was clean, the staff extremely friendly and the service perfect from arrival to leaving. We were seated immediately, orders taken quickly and a good choice on the menu. Food was served in good time and was of very good quality and piping hot. Cost was very reasonable too.We would not hesitate to visit again, and will do in the future.

Great food. Service goes above and beyond expectations. Lovely staff treat you fantastically. Quality of food will keep me coming back again and again and again. Love this place.

Walked in off the street and was greeted by attentive staff. Was offered a large popadom which was good. The condiments being ordinary. Entree was a mixed tandoori platter which ok. Main was lamb saag with rice. I found the meat to dry and chewy and the sauce quite bland. Overall i rate it 4/10.

There was a good selection of curries, which were very tasty. The service was good even though I visited at an off time. The only drawback is that it is a bit expensive compared to the other restaurants in the area.

Really love this place. Every dish I've tried tastes unique, unlike other curry houses, where sometime I feel they use the same base for everything. I've tried a range of curries, from the Shakoti to the vindaloo, it's all great! The service is fantastic, attentive and staff are often witty and talkative. Draft kingfisher is well kept, and goes well with the food. Would recommend highly.

A very enjoyable meal with generous portions of lovely curries. The curry house has been redecorated and is light and spacious.Good value and attentive staff.

Ordered a Medium Chicken Balti which was verging on a Mild curry. Great flavours coming through though and a lovely clean restaurant with impeccable service from the staff. Not a bad experience at all but with loads of other Indian restaurants on Mill Road I'd definitely try our some others before coming back...

I've been eating in the Golden Curry for over ten years. As an avid fan of curry and a resident of Cambridge I've no hesitation in asserting that this still remains the best curry house in Cambridge. The mixed kebab starter is a delight, the curries have a wonderful depth of flavour, the naan breads are always fresh and light. It also has a lovely cosey atmosphere with a real buzz about and they always have great staff e.g if you ask for extra chillis or extra garlic, they'll happily do it for you.

My credit card was skimmed, when I paid the bill in this restaurant, and a monthly amount is taken off it for a very obscure firm, called Experian CreditExpress in the name of Reagan Uddin at the address of the Golden Curry.

Really impressed with the diverse flavours enjoyed at this restaurant ; certainly found nothing bland about the dishes we chose.It was a very busy Saturday night but service was swift and portions generous.The Haash Shezani was succulent and beautifully spiced, the Ceylon chicken opened with creamy coconut overtones and developed a splendid spicy heat as one enjoyed it; and the Shabji Jalfrezi was fiery without being over bearing. Great texture to the Nan bread too - not at all doughy and deliciously sweet.All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and would recommend this restaurant highly :-)

Dinner for three on 1/25/16. Different staff members hovering around. I had the mixed grill and my guests had fish and shrimp in a tomato sauce. All bland and uncharacteristic for an Indian restaurant.

We asked to keep the chutney with the main meal and the manager said they wouldn't have enough for the other customers. The chicken tikka masala is much too full of sugar.Very disappointing, pity as it's one of the few restaurants in Cambridge open late.

We went with a large group on Friday night. The service was good but the food was fairly uninspiring. Coming as we do from the heart of good Indian cuisine in the UK our expectations are pretty high. The dips in a spice tray were uninspiring (out of a jar we suspect) and that they ran out and so there was not quite enough to go aaround. Many of the Indian restuarants we now visit make their own - so much better. The main dishes were plentiful but a little bland.We had a good night and the staff were friendly.

I ordered the king prawn balti as a take-out, it was awful, I would have sent it back if I had been eating at the restaurant.

I've eaten here a lot over the years. Used to be by far the nicest British Indian curry house in Cambridge, but for me it's become a bit more hit and miss in recent years in terms of the food quality. However, it's always great, friendly service, and I always have an enjoyable evening there.

The Golden Curry is our regular curry place. Good portions but uninspiring. Service friendly, but on this occasion rather slow, which was fine as we weren't in a hurry.

Immediately upon entering the restaurant the ambience was lacking - akin to the feeling a workplace canteen. The waiters whilst courteous were constantly rushing - we had barely been given the menu before being asked what we would like to order. The price was extortionate at just under £50.00 for two people eating a modest amount with only one of us drinking. The worst part of all was that the food was so despicably bland and tasteless. I can honestly say I have had a lot better out of a can from the supermarket.

It's impossible to go into a curry house and not over order. Especially when the menu is varied enough to make it interesting but not so full as to make it too difficult to choose.The waiters coped very well with a group that was too busy to concentrate on anything as mundane as ordering! A great catch up evening with friends made comfortable with delicious dishes.I had chicken pathia (ordered without green peppers) which came with a pilau rice but I ordered coconut to go with my dish - always does the trick in cooling down hot dishes. Garlic naan, brinjal bhaji, poppadoms, pickles. What's not to love. I tasted a few of the other dishes and they were good too although a lamb tikka was proclaimed too sweet. Think mine was the best though!Good place for a group and would come again.

Love this place, this is the only curry house we have been to over and over again because it is always consistently good. The staff are friendly and service is quick.

Good range of curries and good service. Not the best location, but it is my local and I go regularly. Nicely redecorated and possibly new cook so recommend a visit if you have not been in a while.

So, we wanted to have Indian food for lunch and we were relatively new in town and we found this place closeby where we were. In all fairness: Portions were large, food was slightly above average, BUT the waiters were grumpy and unattending, much more important than that, my partner got sick in her stomach and I then remembered we see these "Food Hygiene Ratings" on the doors of the eateries and I wanted to check online in the FSA website and it was 2 out of 5, with the note "improvement necessary".

It was a little late, just after eleven, but the open sign was still on and I asked if it was ok to order a take away. Unfortunately when I attempted to eat my meal, it was possibly the worst curry I had ever had. The curry was so sweet and sparse, It could have been a liquid dessert. The naan bread smelt and tasted off. The mushroom rice was, however, fine.It's a real shame, I've been there a few times to eat in the restaurant and it was fine. I won't be returning.

The new-look restaurant looks great. Friendly service from the staff, whether dining (as we were on this occasion) or waiting for a take away. Delicious food, recommend the Dhansak. Good value too, with meal and drinks for four under £20/head. Will visit again.

Honestly some of the finest indian food i've had ever. Incredible flaviurs. A stag party, we were well looked after. Good value for money & lovely staff. Can't say I'm mad about Kingfisher lager but it was a lovely night, cheers all.

There is not a lot to say apart from average, nothing particular good or bad, a 80's style menu, average decor, staff. The food we ordered looked and tasted almost identical even though it was two different types of curry. They tasted alright, even though I could probably do better at home. It seemed to me a lack of love was present in the food, just get it out who cares if it's bland. There are much better Indian restaurants in Cambridge.

Poppadoms and drinks came fairly quick but after ordering our meal we waited over and hour and still no food. We was constantly told it would be 5 minutes so we decided to leave and pay for the drinks and poppadoms, when we tried to pay they tried charging up for an extra drink and didn't seem bothered that we left without a meal. Other customers were clearly not happy as they were leaving without there after a 20 minute wait. Certainly won't be returning!

Reminded me of a curry restaurant from 20 years ago when I was a student. Service was very quick and efficient for a busy Saturday night but apart from the popadoms and naan bread , really very average Indian food.Very disappointed with the portions and salad with chicken tikka and onion bhaji starters. The tikka was cold and lifeless and felt less than fresh. Had tikka masala for main course and have never tasted such a sweet curry before. Far far too much sugar being added.There is so much better Indian food to be had in Cambridge.Service was polite and good but not a very pleasant ambience as restaurant was busy , noisy and unappealing.

Service was very quick to take drink orders and popadoms. Took a while to order food. When the food came it was good , naan breads were very good. Would recommend

Typical (western) Indian food. Good prices, friendly staff and tastes OK for a night out. If you go in a big group book ahead. They recently refurbed so it is slowly modernising away from that stuck in the 70's curry house look. The fish tank was a fun feature.

Visited The Golden Curry with a large group of friends , and honestly found the experience fairly average , service was fairly slow , food was nothing special ,staff were very good though and it was comfortable

The title says it all. We had really good service with very polite waiters and everything that we had was really good.We had the chicken Korma and the chicken Pathia curry and both of them tasted great.We also tried the samosas and the mixed kebab I think, which were also quite good and the coconut bread was amazing.It may be a bit pricey but I was so satisfied with the food that I didn't care.I would totally recommend this.

Visited twice, got an upset tummy both times. On my second visit I witnessed a waiter picking his nose and touching poppadams using same hands. Needless to say I left my meal half eaten, paid up and left. The first time I was unsure of the source of my tummy problem, but this second visit confirmed it.I later googled the city council food hygiene rating for this restaurant is very low (2=needs improvement). The food also tasted pretty average, more like out of the box supermarket curries. And the service is nothing to write home about. If you want to pay through the roof only to get sick then do visit, this is the place for you.

Not had a curry for ages decided to try Golden Curry and was pleasantly surprised how nice it all was service friendly and quick and food was lovely.

Rarely a week passes when I don't visit the Golden Curry in Mill Road. It's a popular and recently refurbished restaurant supported by locals and run as a family business. I'm greeted, on each occasion, by name, often given my favourite table and enjoy friendly conversation with the very attentive staff. The dishes are varied, tasty and plentiful and the service is very good with hard working and efficient waiters. The prices are very reasonable. The friendly chefs are young and very skilful. Its proximity to the excellent Kingston Arms is a bonus and a good meeting place prior to an evening in the Golden Curry.

Who doesn't love a restaurant that can take care of fish tanks? In all seriousness, the cuisine is excellent and the service good. The breads are particularly tasty and so are the chutneys.Coming from the USA, the cuisines at Golden Curry has a distinctive English/Indian taste which I find pleasant.

It was a nice! A little noisy at the time we went but you can never know who be seated the table close to your!The food was really good.

I have held back a grade on the basis that my party of three was seated in a pokey corner and we were at the point of enquiring if we had been forgotten about before our meal arrived. It was a Saturday evening, we had not booked, and it might be they were doing us a favour by letting us in at all. When the food did arrive it was of good standard and I enjoyed it. I wouldn't hesitate to return here if given the chance.

This unassuming Indian restaurant at the bridge end of Mill Road is well and truly a gem in central Cambridge. A full refurbishment has resulted in what is a cross between traditional curryhouse and modern restaurant - they've got the balance spot on!A combination of a Tandoori Mixed Grill, a Chicken Tikka Masala and a Chicken Dhansak with various rices and side dishes such as Sag Aloo & Bhindi Bhaji proved to be more than enough for the three of us! Waiters very friendly and accommodating.The menu was great value for money as it is, but they even threw in an added 105 discount for being students (we hadn't informed them that we were students, I guess our baby faces gave it away).Overall, a lovely meal and worth another visit.

Are here with friends. Don't be fooled by the other reviews. The food is bland, all looks the same irrespective of what you order and took forever to arrive. There are far better curry houses in the city, Pipasha is far superior.

Visited with friends recently, and the first time I have eaten here. The start was not great as we had to wait 10 mins for "our" table to be vacated by its previous owners. We were offered complimentary drinks while we waited - so not all bad. It was a Friday and the place was packed, even so our order was taken swiftly and the food arrived in good time. Overall we had a good, traditional Indian meal (all the usual suspects were on the menu) and a good evening was had by all. Worth a try if you can get a table :)

A party of us reserved a table for 9.30 on a Thursday so not the weekend. when we went in no table was available and was informed it would be between 20 and 30 minutes wait. What was the point of reserving if they were not going to take any notice of it. Our suspicions were that they tried to sneak a service through instead of just reserving it as they should have done. as we had already booked a taxi we took our business elsewhere and had a curry in a place that treated customers in the correct manner.

I stopped going for years as it went down hill. But it was refurbished and heard there was new management. As it is local to us we thought we'd try again. I have been 5 times since January 2015 and cannot get enough! Service is really attentive and every dish I've had has been delicious. They also do takeaways. I specially recommend the Gingrich Puri (Pan fried spicy prawn cooked in medium thick sauce, served on fried bread) as a starter and the Shagor Zinga (whole King Prawn with peepers) and tandoori chicken. But everything is really good. Very surprised with the bad reviews and the fact it is so far down the list. Every time I pass by the place is busy...

We waited a long time for our food. Friendly service but took too long. They made an error with the order which was frustrating and then didn't offer any compensation until we asked a number of times. They are normally good though.

Party of 14 visited this restaurant. The food was excellent. Staff were friendly. Decor was impressive. Highly recommend this establishment.

My previous visit to the Golden Curry had been a very long time ago, probably 20 years, but I had fond memories of the place.We called in on a Friday evening. The place was quiet, only a few tables were occupied and we were seated straight away. I did not feel particularly welcomed. My first impressions were that the place was a bit dingy, and the large shop style windows were wet with condensation.Our order was taken and we had some papadums while we waited for the meal. I had chicken jalfrezi with rice and Bombay potatoes. The food was no better than okay, and nowhere near as tasty as at my favourite Indian restaurant.The service was perfunctory, the staff made no effort to be friendly at all.The bill for two of us, papadums, a main course and rice each, a soft drink each and one side dish came to £35. I thought it was expensive for what it was. They charge a lot for soft drinks so I am glad we only had one each.It is unlikely that I will go back.

A poor curry resturant. The Golden Curry is a camped resturant with an out of date interior. The staff are grumpy, it wouldn't hurt them to crack a smile. The drinks are ridiculously expensive. The coke comes from a bottle and it is warm. The pint glasses are suspiciously small. For £3.90 it's terrible. The food is rather bland. I had chicken dopiaza. The sauce tasted too tomatoey. The rice is also bland and tasteless. Compared to my favourite curry resturant, The Tarmarind, this is no where near as good.
