Golpo Bengal Cafe & Restaurant in Cambridge

We wanted somewhere close to the station to have dinner with friends over from London. Really impressed- staff welcoming and friendly. The menu had a good variety and we were spoiled for choice. Food was delicious and we will definitely return. Decor lovely, modern and spacious.

Lovely food, clearly freshly cooked, great flavours, beautiful presentation. Really friendly, attentive management as well without being overly crowding. They made some good suggestions for our lunch and made us feel very welcome and well looked after. Also the prices were amazing! 6 of us had lunch here, with some lovely starters to share (6 "small plates" - 3 for £15 offer), as well as mains and a soft drink each, and our bill was less than £100 altogether. Really good value, especially considering how good the food was too. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back to try an evening meal soon!

Fabulous meal here. First time visiting and will definitely be back. The staff were really good and helpful when asking about the dishes especially Mahesh and Jui. It's a dry restaurant but not a problem to bring your own alcohol. Thank you for a lovely evening.

The food and service were impeccable could not fault it would 100% recommend it to anyone and will definitely be returning when we next visit Cambridge

Authentic food but with a modern twist. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were sized well. The owner comes to speak with you to help you order and the lamb curry he recommended to us was on of the best we’ve ever had. Non alcoholic cocktails are superb too.

Food was absolutely amazing. The variety and taste was exceptional. All items had a unique taste and were full of flavour. The decor of the place is also nice and to top it off, great customer service.

Excellent customer service. Such great food. Loved everything. So well looked after .look forward to going back and trying their lunch menu

This was a return visit and every bit as delicious as previously Good choice of vegetarian options and so nice to have totally alcohol free drinks menu. Very friendly and helpful staff too. Thank you

Uncalled for racism from the service staff who refused to seat us inside despite us being able to get an online reservation. As Bangladeshis ourselves we denounce this type of preferential conduct that puts the value of seating visible non-desi clientele inside. Never returning.

Food was absolutely amazing, the staff were so attentive and made us feel very welcome, We Highly recommend this resturant,

The food was delicious and decor was modern yet comfortable. The staff are stars. They were very attentive, helpful, and kind. I will definitely return.

I took my partner out for our anniversary meal to Golpo and it was an instant favourite. The dry-bar was great for us as we aren’t big drinkers and the alcohol free cider and Strawberry mojito were delicious and very fresh. The food was amazing and was clearly made with love and passion. Every server was kind and so helpful, we will definitely be back again!

This is an excellent Indian restaurant. They have traditional dishes and more unusual recipes too. Everything we had was delicious. I always use onion bhajis as a bit of a point of comparison as I love them, and these were truly top notch - as, in fact were all the dishes we chose. It has an extensive “dry” bar (all non-alcoholic) but they are happy for you to bring your own wine/beer. The service was also very good.

We were a party of 14 who just walked in without booking. The welcome was respectfully warm and welcoming. The service was first class, the food was delicious, freshly cooked and presented beautifully. The hosts happily accommodated our prayer obligation and even provided us with prayer mats! Highly recommend Golpo if you’re looking for an alcohol free environment with a wonderful halal dining experience in Cambridge! We had a really nice Golpo experience (Golpo translates chit chat!) Thank you to our lovely hosts for the complimentary tea!

Discovered this fabulous restaurant after a visit to the Botanic Gardens down the road and popped in for an early dinner. We'd never eaten Bengali food before and assumed it would be standard 'Indian' but were in for a few culinary surprises, especially the poppadoms and chutneys, which were very different to what we've come to expect. And date naan - a taste of sticky, sweet heaven. The staff were really friendly and, on discovering it was my partner's birthday, produced a little cake with candle, and the birthday tune! Golpo have a 'dry bar' which means alcohol free, but do an amazing range of cocktails, wines, beers and cider. We had the cider, which was light and refreshing on a hot day. Who needs alcohol when the food is so good? We'll definitely return.

Very nice shop with very good customer service and food was very yummy seating was great and nice lighting staff were nice

The place looks elegant and the service was great and friendly. The food was nice, especially the starters. Food is halal and they also had a "dry" bar.

This place has a nice ambience and lights. Loved the food. We tried pani puri, chicken biriyani, naan and butter chicken. Biriyani was soo good. Loved the flavor. Naan was a bit hard though. Quantity is quite large, good for the price. Staffs are very kind and friendly too!

Tasty food and the place is very hygienic. The staffs are very friendly and kind. Would def recommend to others. Chicken biryani is good.

Food portion was good and wasnt bland, Service from the staff was amazing, i would highly recommend to anyone whos looking for a new place to try!

We had a lovely time, the customer service was so good, we were made feel very welcome from start to finish. Dishes were recommended to us by our server and they were delicious. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice , spiced and flavorful food, very good customer service and satisfactory prices, I would compare it to the dishoom restaurant in covent garden London

Excellent service, very delicious food! Team are very attentive and respectful towards their customers. They also gave us complimentary tea it was just wow! I will definitely comeback again whenever I visit Cambridge next again 🤗

Wonderful service and wow the choice of food was fabulous, all with beautiful flavours , thank you for a great evening in Cambridge

Authentic Bengali food and the best we've eaten. Friendly staff who gave great recommendation. All round a great experience.

Lovely food, very clean premises and very attentive staff. My only criticism is that would prefer a slightly wider menu selection. We will visit again!

Excellent food, friendly staff, lovely decor, spotlessly clean, at fair prices. We ate here for mothers day, without having checked reviews, and were delighted you have stumbled on this great restaurant.

A must visit restaurant if you're on Cambridge. Delicious food and excellent service in a lovely setting. Each course was fab. I'd certainly recommend.

Absolutely excellent food and service. The menu is varied and the spice level can be varied to taste. Everything we ordered was delicious

Yummy food and excellent customer service. Rezaul was very helpful. Loved the alcohol free drinks and the lamb chops. Perfect date nice restaurant

The staff are very kind and caring! The folks squeezed us in without a reservation and checked in on us multiple times. And the aubergine dish was great.

Lovely restaurant, really friendly and attentive staff.....................................................

Really nice for a good homely Indian meal! Service is excellent - warm and friendly. However, I will say the portions need to be significantly larger

Very tasty and very friendly staff. Really recommend this lovely place. The only thing is the non alcoholic menu but you are welcome to bring your own alcohol!

Very welcoming and informative front of house staff made the visit most enjoyable. A newly opened restaurant, well appointed and decorated with pictures of life in Bangladesh. The knowledgeable staff were quick to provide explanations about both the dishes on offer and the cultural and historical background to the restaurant. The food was delicious with distinct differences in the taste and spice levels of the curry sauces. Would recommend Golpo to anyone and we are already planning our next visit.

Attentive service, delicious food, comfortable ambience. Particular recommendations - the Chana Chaat and Kosha Mangsho. We'll be back.

This is my first visit at Golpo. It was a great experience. I really enjoyed the food. And their service was excellent. Everyone was very helpful and friendly.

Excellent service and wonderful staff who were very friendly. However the portions were very small compared to the price.

The food was truly amazing with a rich aroma and blend of flavours. The service was especially good with the male waiters being very friendly and polite. They would regularly check to make sure things were ok and the service was fast

Delicious food and outstanding service. It’s our second time dining here. Everything we tried was beautifully cooked and tasty. Very good prices and kindness and smiles from all waiting staff. One of the best restaurants in Cambridge.

Great restaurant with relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. The mango and cardomon brûlée is worth the visit alone, and the rest of the dishes are a close match.

Server was very pleasant. Food and venue is good also. Would suggest more meal options and soft drinks. The place is also clean and well presented.

A unique and comfortable restaurant with welcoming and helpful staff. The menu is varied and authentic, with beautiful fresh ingredients. In a different class to a 'standard' Indian restaurant in the UK.

This spot is great for everything from a casual to a fancy dinner. The food is delicious and the staff are very nice and attentive.

Friendly staff and enjoyable experience - local so very convenient . Clean, open and good atmosphere . Amazing desserts

Great, friendly spot for all kinds of meals! Razaul was a great host and served a lovely chai that was out of this world. Would recommend for families, couple, and solo visits! Will be coming back here.

Delicious food, relaxed and friendly service but you are not left waiting for long. The butter chicken was the highlight of the night, but the chicken biryani and beef was also high quality. I definitely recommend and will be visiting here again! Thank you!

Amazing food, great ambience, super friendly staff. Desserts need massive improvement, apart from that, wonderful experience!

Our third visit and this restaurant never disappoints! Razaul was very attentive and hospitable since the moment we stepped in.
