The Indian Garden in East Cambridgeshire

We came for family dinner and really enjoyed ourselves. It was very quiet. The staff were friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The service was prompt and all the food was delicious. The restaurant has a nice ambience about it. Portions were a good size. Overall, very positive.

Visited with family for the first time this evening and had a fantastic meal. Punchy yet well balanced flavours and heat. Super attentive and friendly staff. Very reasonably priced too. Will definitely be back! 10/10

Outstanding food and by far the best Indian restaurant around my part of Cambridgeshire. They deliver to Ely it took around 65 minutes but the food was hot and delicious. Edit: I would say try their chicken Desi Murgi Masala and their Fish Pakora and also their chicken Silsila.

This restaurant has just moved to Granby street and we thought we would try it out for my birthday. I can honestly say the food had some of the best presentation I have seen in a reasonably priced restaurant. The food was rich in flavour but not too heavy. I would definitely visit again. Shaq (? Forgive me if I’ve got that wrong) was friendly and attentive.

We were celebrating a birthday and we had a smashing evening. The menu was extensive with all styles of food available and all 5 of us had different dishes - we all enjoyed them. The staff were excellent, quiet and efficient and extremely polite. The ambience was pleasant - Indian music but nice and quiet so it didn’t detract from our conversation. I’ll definitely visit again.

Had the most delicious takeaway tonight- best Jalfrazi I’ve ever eaten and my wife loved her Dhansak Food was on time and all the flavours were amazing what more can I say

Called in to order a takeaway just before 8.00pm. Very chaotic. A handful of people were waiting for takeaways and there was one table for 4 and a larger table say for 10 or 12 waiting for service in the restaurant. Was advised 1 hour wait for takeaway but then told 45 mins then told 35 minutes by the same staff member in the space of 30 seconds, so anyone's guess really. Ordered our food and asked how much it was going to be but they didn't know because it had to be calculated manually? Wanted to know because it was cash only. Staff member rambled incoherently so I gave up and said I'd come back in 35 mins. This was 8.00pm and chap waiting said "I wouldn't bank on it mate, I've been here since 6.10pm". When I came back there was no-one waiting but I still had to wait a further 35 mins. Whilst waiting the table that was already seated with drinks when we first placed our order gave a loud cheer when some plates, just plates no food arrived. Not a good sign. Got home to find my Dhansak was undercooked. Meat was cooked but the chickpeas in it are supposed to cooked down to a thick sauce but we're virtually raw. Saag Bhagee portion size was miniscule and mushroom rice was cold. Needless to say I will not be returning.

Delivery was slow but food amazing.

We visited the new Indian Garden,now in Granby Street Littleport. It has just opened?so decided to give it a go. The staff are attentive and friendly. The menu is varied and well laid out. Wednesday is the special night that presents a great offer for a mere £17. Brilliant! We had Poppadoms woth the most delicously spicy yogurt sauce! I need a refill,delicious starters,excellent main courses and sundries All wonderfully cooked,generous portions and well presented. Indian Garden is always a little quirkly and adorable for that. Shout out to Zak,Ahmed and Zak's father who is the head chef. Well done boys! Great to have you back! 😊

UPDATE. The new Indian Garden is now on Granby Street Littleport. Great to have them back. It has just reopened. We went there 18th Feb, had a wonderful,well cooked,great portions,tasty,tasty! meal. Wednesday is their special night,offering a amazing value for money. Shout out to Zak and Ahmed,and Zaks dad who is head chef! Wonderful food,attentive staff and great to support the Indian Garden boys! Good luck! We will most definately be back! One of the best Indian restaurant around! Very lucky to have this brilliant place in Littleport, much better than any in Ely. We have tried them all! Well done Indian Garden, keep it up!

Very disappointed from start to finish. Ordered via Foodhub, took a while for the order to be confirmed. I then got a call confirming the order and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. When arriving at the restaurant, my order wasn’t ready, wasn’t even being cooked. They took my order again and I sat and waited for another 20 minutes. They finally brought out my order and told me what was in the bag. I got home, started to dish up and no tikka masala, but a spicy pork rice dish. Very, very disappointed as this isn’t the first time we have had a problem with this restaurant getting our order wrong. There is no way of contacting them either to try and rectify the problem. 👎🏻

Placed online order , it was waiting for a while for the confirmation from the restaurant, so I thought I will call , no answer. Driven there and it's closed ! Luckily paid by PayPal so have my money back

Ordered a takeaway using the Indian Garden app on the 6th Sept at 17.59 for a delivery, waited over 3 hours, still no food arrived. I called over 40 times, was either engaged or rang out with no answer. I even called the next day, still no answer. I've just learned that they were evicted on the 5th September! But they still took my payment of £81.70 online. I'm absolutely disgusted with the sheer audacity of taking my money with no intention of providing the food, you should be ashamed of yourselves!!!!

What to say? In brief, ordered online, after 80 minutes no sign of delivery, tried to phone and no one answered, made a few more phone calls - all unanswered - decided I may as well cook dinner for myself. After a number of further calls that evening and the next day - all unanswered - I resorted to email to suggest I not be charged. Of course, I was and am therefore £42.50 out of pocket for food I did not receive from a provider who doesn't answer the phone or reply to emails. If I have time next week, I'll raise a dispute with the credit card people but that's so involved and lengthy (and their first question will be 'have I spoken to the provider?' - which is difficult when they ignore standard communication and I don't have time to nip to Littleport) so I imagine the Indian Garden Littleport will get away with pocketing £42.50 of my money for providing absolutely nothing and wasting quite a lot of my time. I can only imagine the business has changed hands recently.

We have just come back from London where we visited Colonel Saab and in our opinion the quality of food is much better, atmosphere is very good and the staff very attentive. Highly recommend you pay this Indian restaurant I visit

We'd been missing the Fordham branch that was destroyed in a fire a couple of years ago, so decided to eat here. The food was as delicious as we remembered. Portion sizes are generous, and we didn't have to wait long. The building is getting a bit old and tired, but you're not going to eat the building! Worth the journey.

Good food. Generous portions. Good pickle tray. Not too much oil; which can be a plus or minus depending on how you like your BIR! Maybe the vegetable sides were a bit dry (cooked like a Sabzi) would have been nice to have been more liquid? Would go again or order takeaway. Heat ratings slightly exaggerated i.e. a 3 chilli is about medium in other places. Very enjoyable family Friday night meal.

Very good and tasty food and very good delivery service

Excellent food cooked well and still very hot on arrival

Great food and service but the place really needs a revamp its looking tatty, flooring broken, light fittings mismatched plaster missing in places just very tired

Great food, delivered hot and on time

Our first time here last night, food was amazing and fresh ingredients! We couldn’t believe the choice of curries and the cheese nan was one of the best we’ve ever had! Will be back!

PRICES INCORRECT! We visited on a Friday night and were given the restaurant menus, we then had our meal (food wasn’t great, the butter chicken was watery), we asked for the bill and the price didn’t correspond with the menu. The butter chicken on the menu was £9.50 and on the bill was £13. We asked to see the menu to double check we were right, the waiter said that the menus were old and incorrect, the real prices were on the takeaway menu - which were NOT given to us at the start of the meal. We told the waiter we were not happy to pay the price on the bill and he refused to change it even though we told him it was illegal to sell food with wrong prices. Just to warn those that are wanting to dine here, we ended up paying £15 more than we were supposed to, the waiters did not seem to care and continued to say he would tell the boss who was not present.

Brilliant service good prompt delivery and tasty food

Friendly service, tasty food-would recommend

This is the very best Indian restaurant. The food, the service , everything. Excellent in every way. The King Prawn Kulna is particularly superb.

Literally the worst Indian takeaway I have ever had, the only thing that seemed fresh was the side salad and the poppadom, the onion baji were flat and overcooked, the chicken in both the korma and balti was rubbery and both dishes lacked any depth of flavour , the mushroom rice was bland, the naan bread cremated, plus after a short journey home nothing was remotely hot, extremely disappointing.

Food was mostly good, however, missing a portion of onion bhajis and were unable to get through on the phone. For the price we paid we were disappointed this time.

Delivered before time -friendly service,great food- would recommend

The meals were spot on, absolutely delicious and no complaints at all. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. We'll definitely be going back again.

It was late, but, the app told us exactly what was going on, so it was not a problem at all. Great food, all 6 enjoyed every bit. Thank you

Great service, early delivery pleasant people would recommend

Ordered ASAP and it arrived extremely quickly

Great tasty food. Delivered on time.

Had a takeaway from India Garden tonight for the first time- possibly the best Lamb Dhansak I've had in my life. Reasonably priced, quick turnaround and immense flavour.

Food was lovely this evening. All cooked fresh, lots of taste, chicken soft and not chewy. Quick delivery.

Curry was excellent. The onion bhajis were inedible. They were burned or overcooked. Rock hard and had to go in the bin. Otherwise, an excellent meal as always.

the butter chicken is not butter chicken. It's sweet and full of crunchy coconut. Disappointed

Service was very good - thanks to Tuf & Sam. The food was very tasty & liked the recommended starter. We did the banquet night on Wednesday. Good value.

Great food & service from Tu & Sam - always great would highly recommend

Not acceptable being 20 minutes past the expected delivery time

First time ordering - loved it and would definitely use again.

curry was bosh but the naan was a bit burnt

Wish I had read the reviews before ordering a delivery 👎 spent £45.00 for food that arrived stone cold (not even the slightest bit of warmth) and I live at the other end of the same village. After reheating the said food I wish I hadn’t bothered as both of us felt it was tasteless and a complete waste of money . Really not happy and will never order from them again. On a positive (the only one) the driver was very pleasant .

Food was good but unfortunately it was 30 mins late and not very warm.

Please don't order takeaway. I have waited 2 hours I spent £70 no food I said if not here by 8 want a refund he said driver was on way I asked if lying he said no 1958 refund issued. Food had not been cooked or out for delivery

the food was ok-ish however my korma was absolutely swimming in water - I probably could have poured about five egg-cup fulls at least out of the dish, so unfortunately it was a bit washed out

Service was very good very attentive good staff Nice clean proper tablecloths & cloth serviettes The food was amazing very tasty & very well Presented Got very busy just as we were leaving which was good to see We will return We did the banquet nite £14.50 per head Only on Wednesdays

Super quality and very tasty food. The staff are really nice and look after you well. Excellent value for money too. I would highly recommend.

Good food but a very long wait unfortunately

Always order our food from here. Jay is always amazing and has something to offer when looking for recommendations. The food is always well cooked and smells/looks great. Take away service is always busy.

Lovely meal for 6 - every dish perfectly cooked 🤗

Very tasty food, and good sized portions. Delivery was in good time & the driver was really polite.

DO NOT EAT HERE: Digging into a Chicken Curry and near the end of my meal I find what looks like a baby cockroach in my food, when we spoke to the cook and owners they justified the reason as that it could have been put in after the cooking (as if that makes it any better) I have photographic proof of this and proceeded to ban us for bringing this up. I beg if you want to eat at an Indian Restaurant. DO NOT EAT HERE! 🥹🥹🥵

Good food. Good service and good value for money.

Rice was defiantly reheated and the curry was flavourless and had two pieces of meat in

We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. The food was all hot, tasty, and nicely cooked. The portion sizes are generous too. The waiters were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return. Another tip: if you've hired a boat and you're on the river, this is a great place nearby to come to when you've moored up. We did it last year, and it makes for a very pleasant evening.

Food excellent. Service A☆. Wonderful, highly recommended

The best Indian food we’ve had in a long time !

Very nice food and polite delivery

Amazing food lovely staff. By far the best indian i have eating for s for years .

Food was so-so, chicken was pretty dry alas, but somehow also pink still! They also managed to send the wrong dish, 2x Malayan instead of 1, and 1 Korma. Probably won't be ordering again due to the mistakes and overcooked food.

Unbelievable experience tonight turned up on a Wednesday night with no more than 4 tables already seated to say why haven't we booked and basically told us not welcome you should book next time no worries to us enjoyed a lovely indian else where I think they think they are the only indian Sylhet in ely spot on and they care.

On contacting the restaurant I got told the restaurant is very busy so I'd just have to wait! I was still a customer just not within the premises so didn't seem to be respected as one! A paid for meal wether I'm in the building or not is still paying customer!

Garlic naan and 3 popadoms missing from our order.

Great evening with very well cooked food and attentive staff we will certainly return soon

The chicken was super dry and the tandoori did not have much flavour at all.. am a bit gutted

It says our food was delivered but we've not had it delivered. Its 23:16 and we orderd 9:30ish PM. Your mobile number doesn't work. I'm pregnant and my partner is diabetic, you left us with no food. I'm sorry, but at this point, I've got to leave a disappointing review.

Best Indian in the area by a long way. Ordered delivery a few times and chose to eat in this time. Impressed as always! Thanks

Best flavour and portion size in the area

Really good portions giving great value for money. The food was excellent, and delivered quickly so it was nice and hot. Couldn’t ask for more, definitely recommend.

I have been here a few times and the food is above par, the tandoori chicken I had tonight was spot on, jalfezi wasn't as hot as I'm use to but left a little bit of a building heat in mouth and lips, which in essence is what you want as it means the spices have been fried off in general. However I would of wanted it a little more spicy (I'm sure they would accommodate that of I ask as the service is great). There was a little confusion as I ordered online through a new system so my order was overseen so had to wait a while but the staff and owner were apologetic and gave me a Fanta and coke (glass bottles) which let's be honest aren't cheap being glass bottles. The only issue I had was a couple that came in and complained about the Asian music and then ordered English tea! Not Indian! (I know) which was obviously not available. Staff and owner handed it well and I would like to just say to them that pls ignore cavman like this. End on a positive note, good value for money and will go yet again.

Food was OK, had to chase to find put when was coming, was tepid not hot when arrived

A different take on a classic, certainly the recipe was a little different to how I have had it previously, but different is not necessarily bad. It was a good variation. Quick enough delivery, although on a Sunday night I might have hoped for better, if I’m being super critical and brutally honest. Delivery driver was friendly and respectful of property, always nice to see.

Second time ordering from Indian gardens through just eat as phone lines were busy. And both times food was delivered late

Took 1hr & 55 mins for food to arrive! When I first phoned to chase they told me the driver had just left - after another 20 mins I phoned again to be told the same thing! Delivery charge is £3 and we literally live on the same street - seem to always have issues with late delivery!

Best curry in the area if you are dining in the restaurant along with friendly service. Will be visiting again very soon!

Great food! On time which surprised me considering it is New Year’s Eve. Only down side was it could’ve been warmer

Food was completely cold and took two hours to arrive bad bad bad

Has to be the worst Indian we have ever eaten. Food was cold, every dish tasted the same from Tikka Masala to Korma. Everything was like eating sweet coconut and the rice was awful. Never again 😒

Delicious food, and very decent portions for the price. I will certainly be ordering again.

Great takeaway - one of the best we’ve had! We were moored on the river and found this a short walk away and got some yummy food. Onion bhajees, chicken tikka biryani (huge portion!), dansak and rice and naan. Fresh and delicious- I loved it all as did hubby. Very glad you’ve got a restaurant in Fordham which is just down the road!

My first indian meal, loved it.......

Been using this restaurant for many years. Sadly falling into past bad habits. Poor delivery service, incompetent delivery drivers and uncaring phone staff. Sadly when ordering online they have your money long before you get your food so you are at their mercy. Not even bothered when I told them I would be going elsewhere in the future

Food great as always, however delivery over an hour late!

We think they've changed the chef. This used to be a fantastic restaurant that we visited twice a month but the last four visits we have made have been very poor.

Great restaurant. Yummy food and good size portions. Delivery is always 30 mins on a weekday and can be up to 1 hour on busy days.

Very tasty, great amount of food and arrived when stated

Amazing food as always and quick delivery! Thank you

Loving evening out , food great ( lots of it! ) naan bread huge. Waiters Tu and Jay so friendly chatted about dogs and Bangladesh - will visit one day . Definitely worth a visit .

Amazing as always! We have ordered several times and never had a bad experience, thank you 😊

Very friendly staff. Accidentally spilt my glass of wine which was immediately replaced free of charge. Excellent service with lovely food. Would definitely recommend and come again

Why oh why can the staff not be honest? Placed order through Just Eat, confirmation of delivery 1915 to 1930. That came and went, called the restaurant... three different stories given. Told was taken out for delivery at 1920... we live off Parsons Lane so not far. 1945, no delivery. The person on phone said was out for delivery with one other when called earlier, now another 3 had miraculously bern taken.... said he had called the driver and would be 2 minutes. Driver turns up 1955, with a freshly cooked meal. The owners had decided to send someone else's orders before us even though we placed first...and lied three times about what was happening. I hate liars and will never use this place again. One true word would have helped, but not a single honest comment passed. Customer service epic fail

Called to chase but number you give is wrong, then found a number and was lied to by management several times. They wouldn't know how to be honest with customers if their lives depended on it. And the food wasn't great or worth the wait!

Delicious food from Indian Garden, we had a take away,omg it was the best 😋

Very friendly staff was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. Jay and his team looked after us the good and the wine was good. Very large portions!! I would definitely go back

My first time here, visiting family, they took us in as they recommended it, I also highly recommend it too! Great service and fantastic food! Looking forward to our next visit!

A really really good Indian!! Had one of the recommended dishes, something slightly different and it was lush. Portions are a sensible size ie quality not quantity as such which I think is much more important. Service is exceptional - being new to area I didn’t know there was a curry house and I was surprised; this place is really good food! Not cheap but well worth it

Perfect choice at the boardgame night

Amazing food as always. Thank you
