Prana Indian Restaurant in Cambridge

Very attentive service, very tasty food. We had traditional dishes from Southern India and they were delicious. Thanks a lot, we will come again

Very good service and food. Well recommonded.

We came as a group of 7 and paid a deposit of £10 per head. After we ordered our waiter came back saying that this was a “fine dining” restaurant so we had to order MAINS for a minimum of £25 per person no matter how many appetizers or drinks we ordered. Their waiter claimed we had to order more mains or we need to leave. When asked if we could speak to the manager we were told he was busy. Out of 10 tables only 3 tables, including ours, were occupied. Their so called fine dining experience included another waiter interrupting our waiter to talk to him for a minute and fake marble tables. We paid for our drinks and left. Their food may have won multiple awards but with service such poor as this I am surprised how they’ve sustained so long. They didn’t have the basic common sense to understand that it was a mostly empty restaurant and they could’ve made a decent amount of money from our table instead of making a measly sum for our drinks. As a business student I learned a lot about how not to run a restaurant. I would rather recommend Curry Queen across the street with decent food and service.

If you looking for a good Indian Retaurant in Mill Road . I would like to suggest Prana Indian Restaurant. Food wise ,Location wise , its a good spot for food lovers.

The food was good but felt like it was lacking in flavour in some places. Atmosphere was lacking, but we had a reservation at 6:30 on a Saturday, and it seemed to be picking up as we left.

Great food and great place to eat! If my record only shows positive reviews it’s because I only take time to review experience worthy of a positive review - this restaurants definitely makes the cut. I strongly recommend the sikandari lamb.

Awesome food nice people see you next time.

We had a great experience at Prana! High quality food and great service from Manik who took good care of us and made us feel special! Will definitely be back!

Superb! Kobir Ahmed was cooking tonight - Chef of the Year 2018 (17th September) back in the kitchen! Massive result. I’d have paid double. What a legend!!!

Unfortunately, this place did not meet the expectations. Firstly, staff were great and the restaurant is nice enough. So props there, the atmosphere was solid and no complaints about the cleanliness or decoration. However, the food is far below expectations considering the price and the branding of a 'fine dining' Indian restaurant. The menu items we had simply had no resemblance to anything other than a standard Bangladeshi or Indian curry house - except they'll charge you £19 for the privilege (just the curry dish, not rice or naan). That, with cobra prices hitting close to £9, poppadoms £1.6 a pop, and sundries £4, our table of 4 (who travel extensively across the country and always frequent a local curry house) were all in the same camp here. Overpriced for the quality of ingredients and not worth the price. At £45 each (including a 12.5% service charge). Other places nearby represent much better value for money.

"The flavors seem a bit mild, and I feel like the tempering might be missing something, maybe ginger and garlic? Also, considering the price, I was expecting a bit more in terms of taste and quality." The table feels a bit unsteady, and it seems a little small for our group. Would it be possible to get a more stable or larger one?" The staff here are really nice and courteous. They are very helpful and attentive."

Delicious Indian restaurant on Mill Road. Has a wide menu, tasty for everyone. We go there for dinner all the time and the everything we've had tastes great. The staff is lovely and it's a warm neighborhood atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Disappointing. First time here in a couple of years and the food and service has taken a bad turn for the worst. Would not recommend.

Ordered and never received the food.

Delicious good value food, be sure to allow plenty of time for prep and delivery especially during busy times.

Lots of chicken. Very large portions. Saving half for tomorrow!

The perfect New Year’s Eve meal. The perfect combination of excellent food and attentive service ( even my wife was impressed!).

We went with high hopes and were not disappointed. We enjoyed the food so much that we dined here for 2 out of 3 nights in Cambridge. Flavorful veg/ non-veg options and plenty of choices for everyone. Because of the cold weather we wanted to have hot spicy food and we were not wrong. If you are looking for hot and spicy options, go for naga chicken or jalfrezies(prawn or veg). We asked them to make dal tadka spicy, and it was perfect for us. Chai was pretty good. The staff is friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Manik - we had great conversations. We will revisit if we are in Cambridge.

Nice vegetarian food and very good service

Excellent, tasty food. Pleasant all round.

Absolutely delicious, also my young kids loved the flavour. Thank you!

I love the ambience and promptness. Highly recommend!

Deepu was great! Made sure we were well looked after ☺️

Food was great! Get the saag gosht (it's not on the menu). Thanks Deepu for the great service!

I would love to take the chef on a journey to learn how to spice . I would also take away the chick pea can opener from him as a starting point. A base gravy attempt who can tell? For all the awards on the wall, none of those skills were even put in the simplest dish as an afterthought for us tonight. (one week ago we dined, I waited a while to try to be kind).....Edited for "Thank you" for your management response, with respect, I don't need the private discussion. IT WASN'T GOOD GUYS, FULL STOP. I've just done you a favour.

Brilliant experience and lovely food. Thank you

I found the rice to be a bit clumpy and the curry not as flavourful as I am used to in other establishments (lamb jalfraizi). I felt the poppadoms and pickle tray were overpriced.

Very enjoyable, welcoming and great food. Great service and was a lovely meal would highly recommend 👍🏻

Amazing food,great ambience.Best option for a date night.I really enjoyed the food with my wife.The staffs hospitality was so great,really appreciate the gentleman Mr.Deepu and Mr.Manik.would really go again for the experience.

Lovely curry - very tasty and good portion size. Highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant and very helpful waiter made sure my food was exactly to my taste. Will come again

Lovely staff, came here on my stag do and everyone was very friendly! Specially Tania and Deepu was a great host in that restaurant. -Hassan

I highly recommend Prana Indian Restaurant for food enthusiasts. Both in terms of location and quality, it’s a great choice. For vegetarians, they offer some excellent options like Tadka Dal, Vegetable Biryani, Vegetable Green Curry, and Sabzi Korai. Whether you’re looking for flavourful dishes or a convenient spot, Prana is definitely worth visiting.

Lovely service and food. Would recommend!

We recently dined at Prana and had an excellent experience! We started with the Mango Lassi, which was delightful—authentic and felt like a true Indian homemade lassi. For mains, we ordered the Chicken Jalfrezi and Dansak, both of which were delicious. The dishes had a perfect balance of spices, not too overwhelming but full of flavour. The service was another highlight. Special thanks to Manik and Tanya for making our visit memorable. They were attentive, friendly, and even offered us a discount, which was a pleasant surprise. For anyone living in or visiting Cambridge, I highly recommend adding Prana to your list. If you're looking for rich, flavourful Indian food and a great dining experience, this is the place to be!

Great food, good service - every time.

Service was 10/10 by manik best experience i ever had after a long time

Great food and super friendly service 😁 Thankful for the welcoming atmosphere for a first time experience

Wonderful experience, wonderful food. We will be back. Compliments to the chef from a very old and happy Italian lady and friends 😁

A review for a delivery but I’ve ordered from them for the last 10 years. They offer vegan options but they are poor now to say the least. Vegan dishes have zero protein, lots of potato and the dhal has mostly water in it and very little lentil. Impression for me is that they are a struggling company and are cutting corners which I would support but considering the price they charge is unacceptably high. Compared to other options in Cambridge they are bottom of the pile. Delivery took over 2 hours and I had to ring them twice to chase this. I won’t be ordering again.

Wow, what an amazing restaurant, in Cambridge visiting and decided to pop here for dinner, the staff are very welcoming and friendly and the food is amazing. We will certainly return when in Cambridge again.

So yummy and such nice service!

Wonderful great traditional Indian food with brilliant service and portions. Would recommend to anyone also visiting Cambridge and looking for good food!!

Stumbled across the place on Mill Road, and I’m so glad we did! Charming service, and great food - the Lamb Islander was wonderful. Next time I’m in Cambridge, I’ll be back!

Really enjoyed our meal here this evening. Reasonably priced too!

On entering was friendly pleasant and welcoming and clean/ high step to front entrance to get in didn’t see wheelchair accessible The order was taken and the service was good did forget drinks though until mentioned again The food was hot The food at this restaurant is no different to any other Indian restaurant in the area (my opinion) The price is very expensive plus the service charge high end prices and low quality food in my opinion which means we will not return We travel the country testing other restaurants And have to say this as been the most expensive one so far

Amazing hospitality.the first impression of this restaurant was the amazing greeting of a perfect gentleman named Deepu.He was very keen in explaing everything about the dishes in detail.The food was mouthwatering.I highly recomend the Sikhanderi Lamb.The place holds extravagent ambience.Highly suggestive place to spend time with loved ones.

Les plats sont très bons. Le service est rapide. Un restaurant bien sympathique que je recommande

Excellent service beautiful food and the chicken tikka massala was the best one ive ever had in any indian restaurant ive been too so creamy delicious and huge chunks of chicken an amazing meal thank you

Very nice and delicious food! The Alvis special was fresh and appetizing. We ordered Skandari lamb and Tikka masala with garlic naan and pulao rice! Finishing with rice pudding. Love the flavor! The portion was sufficient to share among the three of us. Great service! The service provider has been professional, getting to know our preference on food and recommending options, and he always wears a smile! Very nice environment, clean and classy with the hall of frame at the entrance. Will definitely come again. Thank you 😊

🇮🇹 Il ristorante si trova poco lontano dal centro di Cambridge e si raggiunge tranquillamente a piedi. La cucina è ottima, lo staff è molto cordiale e il rapporto qualità-prezzo buono. Una bella sorpresa. 🇬🇧 The restaurant is not far from Cambridge city centre, just 10 minutes walking. The food is very good, the staff is really kind and the value for money is excellent. It was a nice surprise.

Lovely food, attentive and quick staff

Clearly labelled vegan items, which were very yummy

Manak is such a great guy! We love the food! We love the taste!!

Good service & great ambiance. Food was prepared by a Bangladeshi chef which was apparent to the taste of an Indian tongue. For a non-Indian, it would still come across as a great taste. Good folks though. If you are not Indian, definitely visit it.

Amazing food and service, no wonder you have lots of awards - thank you to staff and especially the chef!!!

My dad and I really enjoy coming to Prana, the food is really varied and accommodating to food preferences, and it’s all so flavourful and delicious! The portion sizes are also very generous and great for sharing. The staff are all very welcoming and we can’t wait to come back soon!

Very good food, simple and satisfying comfort after a complicated day. Perfect service from two quality young gentlemen.

Great food and ambience. Unfortunately they did not track our booking with The Fork, although we told them in the beginning. We had to ask twice for a correction of the bill. It was fine but also awkward and it partially ruined the amazing experience with the food

An extraordinary meal, refined and simply delicious. We recommend!

Great selection of food, well prepared.

Excellent food served quickly even for a group of 8.

Prana serves tasty Indian food with excellent service. The pappadums are exceptionally good. The restaurant is also spotlessly clean. The food is relatively high end, so we expected to pay a bit more. This is not your casual curry takeaway. It is, however, well worth every penny spent.

Mum returned to visit Cambridge again for a break but she specifically wanted to visit Prana to have chicken Naga as she likes it spicy and that's there spiciest and she was taken by the owners hospitality last visit as they had so much to say to each other .

I would suggest The Prana Indian Restaurant is a perfect spot for the people who like Authentic Indian Food taste. The quality of food and Service is so excellent.

Always good food and service here. We often get take away as we live close but it’s nice to be in the restaurant this evening, thanks!

The food isn’t very tasty or properly authentic, not good value for money . This has ruined our experience and we would not recommend for anyone

Really good food, great naan. Goan fish curry was delicious.

Food is generally brilliant! I’d definitely recommend a takeaway instead of eating in as the prices go up dramatically. However, even for a takeaway now delivery is as much as £5.90 (2 miles) before service charges are added. I also had the pleasure of not being able to take the delivery at my door as the drivers gps would not let him complete the trip. After a 200metre + walk, we then got on with our dinner. As I mentioned previously the food is typically faultless, however I don't feel like repeat business is something they’re overly bothered about. E.G. No complimentary poppadom despite big orders, had them call me previously to make a further payment (£1) as they couldn’t make the dish ordered and the replacement was more expensive..

First time here after a recommendation and absolutely loved it!

Food was really lovely, you can tell the good quality, very friendly and helpful service ... The awards won were well deserved...

Very nice food, very clean, polite waiters overall a very good place to go

Very good service, big recommend

Absolutely superb food, lovely service we shall recommend to others and definitely return as often as possible

Food was delicious would definitely come again if in the area

If your looking to go for a good Indian I wouldn’t go here, me and my partner went food was ok and seemed very over priced, when we got the bill it had an additional service charge on it when asked for it to be taken of was told that they can’t take it of which worked out over £13 even though the dinner alone was over £110 for 2 people, also no complimentary drink at the end.

Best food. I went with a friend to celebrate her birthday 🎂. It was a memorable event.

The food was very good, fresh, lots of variety and we enjoyed it a lot!

I have dined at this restaurant a few times now and the food, service and atmosphere has been impeccable on each occasion. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

delicious food with good service.

Beautiful food, very authentic, very good service.

We ordered saag paneer but were given mushroom saag, which had way too much sugar in (it doesn’t need any!). Disappointing.The mushroom rice was nice.

Really nice food for a great price. The staff is also quite friendly and I have never had any problems with them. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants a nice indian meal in Cambridge.

Just a nice little corner of Cambridge - I recommend the Peshwari naan

Saw the pictures on google and glad i visited with the team!

Absolutely love the food here. The staff are amazing and really friendly. Definitely recommend for takeaways and eating in. I've never had a bad experience here. Plus they do breakfast!

Excellent restaurant to have with family

Very good food and amazing service. I see why it’s been rated as the best Indian in the east of England.

Great food and very nice servers! Recommend!

Amazing and authentic breakfast :) Highly recommended as portions are good

This friendly restaurant took great care of us and the dishes were very refined

Very friendly and welcoming and great food would recommend to anyone the service was quick we are very satisfied with our visit

Very delicious food with great vegan options. Atmosphere and service was perfect. Thank you

Inside I found a fresh and clean atmosphere. Regarding the service: perhaps I visited on the 'wrong' evening, perhaps because I was alone, but the attitude of the staff did not impress me positively. The food was OK, although not 'award-winning'. The price was a bit excessive. All in all, this restaurant ranks in the middle of my list, but I might try it again next time I'm in town. As usual this review is based food quality, staff attitude, atmosphere and local-standard value for money. Over the last twenty years I have been travelling for business (and not) reason and I have discovered a lot about the world of catering.

Very welcoming experience, great for gluten free, dairy free and vegan choices. Some of the best onion bhajis we have ever had. Well deserving of all the awards it has achieved.

Tried the Sheek Kabab grilled mince lamb and Murgh Dhansak Persian chicken dish for the first time - both delicious. Their papadums are a must-have… they really are the best! Top tip: for great deals, sign up to their e-newsletter via their website or scan the QR code on the door.

The place is super welcoming, and cosy, and the food amazing! I really recommend trying it for anyone passing by Mill Road.

We visited Prana after a friend recommended it for breakfast/ brunch. I had a lovely Thali, my son had the English breakfast and my Husband had a breakfast wrap. A really nice place to go for a change
