Ignorant rude old battleaxe who rudely barks there are no tables as they are booked. Very poor customer manners and zero personal interest . AVOID

Really good quality, delicious food and drink, Turkish themed but with plenty of other cuisines, attentive service, warm atmosphere. Would definitely go back. To top it off the owner delivered my bank cards to my house next day that I left behind by accident.

Regularly eat here and never been disappointed. Very reasonably priced. All cooked fresh. Menu changes regularly so you get a good choice/mix or dishes. Their sharing Deli boards are great. This is the only place I know that brings everyone’s food up at the same time and all piping hot. Food is always piping hot, unlike many other restaurants that serve food warm-cold and I hate luke warm food. And great cocktails and different GIns and tonic.

Loved this place!! Amazing coffee and the pancakes were super super delicious, the fruits were fresh tasted like organic produce but not sure. I was happy to see pads and tampons in the toilet :) If in Royston during breakfast time again will definitely visit.

A real gem in Royston. An excellent spot for lunch, we ordered the Turkish Meze with a lamb pida, both of which were delicious. There is a good choice of hot drinks alongside an excellent wine list. Highly recommend.

I met with friends here today and what a perfect little gem this is. The food was amazing. It’s isn’t very often these days that you find a ploughman’s lunch on the menu. The Christmas Pida also looked amazing with Turkey and pigs in blankets. In fact there was so much food my friend ended up taking some home. It was just amazing. The selection of cakes and puddings was also delicious. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Royston you are so lucky to have this 😊

I cannot compliment No 41 enough for their quality of food and service. I think I was sitting near the couple who have left a one star review last weekend and I believe they went there determined not to enjoy the evening. We had a Pida and could not fault the quality. The couple were so stuck up their backsides, and refused the free drink offered to them

Initially, my vege meze contained sausages. When it was replaced 10 minutes later it was minus the coleslaw, not a huge problem so didn’t bother mentioning it. Also ordered a chicken pida, looked lovely but the chicken was clearly processed, smelt and looked processed, also very bland. When it wasn’t eaten the “chef” eventually came upstairs and disputed the fact it was processed, seemed annoyed that we didn’t like the pida, not a very professional approach I feel. Not worth the argument, she reluctantly asked if we wanted anymore drinks, to which we declined so pretty much threw the bill on the table. It’s a shame because it is really lovely inside. Won’t be going back purely on the chefs attitude. Saying that, the young girls serving were very pleasant and helpful.

I was amazed to find the Monday before Christmas when we visited the week before to enquire that they would be closed with the offer of a potential group of 12. On our return in the new year we had a simple 2 course meal and a few drinks. It's ok, however the staff need more product training to improve the service. The garlic prawns were bland yet the calamari was excellent. The Aubergine was very watery which took the taste away from the mince, though I recommend the Pida which is a Turkish pizza. I look forward to returning when they extend the menu as they get busier.

Went in for a coffee and some cake and was instructed to sit wherever we liked. Sat down and was ignored for around 15mins, no menu offered, no one came to take our order or even smiled or looked our way. Spent 5 minutes trying to get the attention of the waitresses, all 3 of whom ignored our attempts so we walked out. Such a shame as the food looks lovely. Maybe need to work on their customer service?

If you are looking for authentic Thai food or something close, don’t go to the Thai Rack. The food is disappointing, as is the service. Simply too busy to pay attention. Everything is over sauced and heavily laden with sugar and salt. We were told that rather than serve authentic cuisine, they cook for the local palette. That’s understood. They are catering to the market. But to be told that we, as customers, should request authentic Thai food is problematic. Surely the onus is on the restaurant to offer both as does another Thai venue in Royston? This restaurant has clearly found its niche that is to trot out British style Thai dishes for locals. So if that’s not for you, please don’t bother and if you’ve travelled in Asia then stay well away. The sweet and sour chicken was drowning in sauce: more a soup than a stir fry. The chicken was thickly cut; a basic mistake on a good stir fry. When I poured the stir fry liquid onto an empty plate to show how much sauce they had served, then asked if they would eat all that liquid, the response was ‘no’. So why would they expect a customer to stomach this? The dish tasted more Chinese than Thai. Just chicken drowning in too sweet and too salty a sauce. Also the colour was a high red. Perhaps artificial? The vegetables were limp due to too much fluid. The rice was plentiful and moist but lacked any flavour. The crab tasted musty. The pork belly was over cooked, as if reheated. No crisp on the belly fat, where any fat could be found. The fat had more of a stretchy consistency than a crispy one. The pork itself was hard, and dry. Clearly overcooked. Perhaps reheated in a microwave? The colour was off too. The papaya salad rather than fresh and fragrant was also over sauced and limp. The same sauce as used on the soft shell crab starter, but diluted down. Again, super sweet. No bite to the vegetables. No standard citrus, lemon grass or chilli notes, more glutinous sugary and salty soupy sauces. Apparently, made this way for us locals. Customer service was embarrassingly poor. No one asked how our food was once we started to eat. Admittedly, the venue became more busy. But there was no interest there aside from banging out the order and leaving you to it. We asked 12 times for the bill, which they didn’t want to provide. However, the conversation about the whole experience was very much one of excuses, and had a sickly, patronising whiff of ‘you’re trying to run a number on us’. We paid in full, of course. We wanted to pay. We insisted. Having asked over and over for the bill, it was left for us to walk up to the bar and insist to pay again and again. At the bar, we were greeted with more excuses and contradictions as to why the food was so disappointing. It’s not about making payment or not, it’s about the restaurant taking on feedback and treating the customer with respect. It was very much about them; their excuses and ‘guilt’ (as they said) about the food, rather than about truly listening for improvement or to grow the customer base. Please provide a positive, respectable dining experience than tell me you feel guilt. If you love authentic Thai food, you’ll likely know where to go in Cambridge. This experience is for people who like heaps of food on the plate that heavily tastes of sugar and salt. No notes. No flavour. No fragrance. It was essentially a high class ready meal. We ate well less than half of the dishes. Just gave up. This is the third time eating with the Thai Rack in three years as each experience to date has been a farce. We’ve always paid in full and tried to give it a go because we want to support our local venues. But no more to the Thai Rack, and refusing to pay is simply to let them off the hook as they can convince themselves it’s a con rather than genuine customer feedback. They don’t care. That was the sentiment and clear by the response and behaviour. Then again, they have a niche but it’s not for diners who seek authenticity, or at least balanced flavourful cooking. No star rating. Thanks
