The best restaurants in Arbury Cambridge East of England

Girl working today was very rude. Edit: Came back to speak with someone as requested. Greeted and ignored by same girl behind bar, she was to busy looking at the fridges to even acknowledge us. I have loved coming to this pub over the last few years but unfortunately we won’t be coming back.

Really friendly coffee shop with delicious food

Best chicken wings and burgers I’ve had from a food van in Cambridge. 🤌🤌

Mashallah, what a hidden gem! I was so pleased to discover this place recently after living in Cambridgeshire for nearly 3 years I was giving up and losing hope when it came to finding reliable, good quality halal produce! I was at my wits end ordering online with places like Saffron Alley for double the price and a lesser quality. There are other establishments in the area but there’s no comparison as I had been so used to the variety in London and having choice in abundance… It’s refreshing to finally find a halal butchers offering premium cuts of meat that doesn’t lack in quality or taste! The meats are delivered fresh daily aside from Sunday, all sorts of cuts for both lamb and beef can be ordered in advance if not available on the day. The prices are affordable considering the quality and cuts and doesn’t compromise the taste. I ordered a variety of meats and cuts… let’s start with the chicken breast, I have never had a butcher willingly clean and trim fat off then weigh it, it was the same with the beef and lamb! Usually you pay for the excess and then they trim it! Going back to the chicken both the breast and whole pieces were fresh and didn’t have that foul smell which you unfortunately so often get with halal chicken. I opted for marinated chicken leg pieces in their own spices made fresh whilst you wait, this was absolutely gorgeous when baked in the oven, can’t wait to try the other marinades over the course of the summer for my bbq’s!! The lamb was fresh and succulent, not gamey at all. I’ve yet to try the beef, I’m about to cook it this evening but I’m sure it will not disappoint as when cutting it for preparation it’s not tough or overly fatty with excess silverside. I opted for a whole chuck piece and topside mince which is prepped fresh whilst you wait. They also offer T-bone, Sirloin and various other cuts which is a welcome surprise! Butchers aside they also offer fresh good quality vegetables, herbs etc. The selection of sausages and cold meats are also great as well as frozen foods. I managed to find Frozen breast chicken nuggets rather than the awful minced kind (although they do sell that aswell). Frozen Kibbehs, boreks, koftes and more are also available. They have every grain, pulse and nut etc you can think of too! Halal marshmallows, gummy sweets and a fresh counter offering homemade baklava, savoury pastries including my favourite spinach and cheese! Again, all for an acceptable price considering the quality. Around the area and on the market stalls in the town centre they offer the same/similar pastries for triple the price and a lesser quality with much less filling inside! All the above coupled with such a kind, inviting and warm welcome you’re sure to return! All staff were polite, courteous and extremely helpful! They take your shopping to the car, help you find what you’re looking for and patiently prepare your meats with such loving care. It seems to be a family established business which is comforting to see as that’s quite rare nowadays. They also have staff that are treated respectfully like family as we observed the elderly gentleman handing out money to staff for Eid which really warmed my heart as it made me emotionally nostalgic with memories of my own father. His daughter was an absolute pleasure to speak with also. I could endlessly type about my positive experience of Midan and how pleasantly surprised I was with my experience from start to finish. May Allah bless them with all that they do as they genuinely care about their customers and what they offer.

Great food Nice friendly family run British pub

Love the food from here so much but was missing one main meal

Lovely fresh food…best Chinese we’ve had

Hemos pasado por este pequeño rincón mexicano en Mill Road por algunos meses y finalmente intervinimos. Primera impresión... un lugar sencillo, hogareño... sin pretensiones y exactamente lo que esperaría encontrar en un porro en So. California (pero sin las moscas y el calor opresivo, por supuesto! ). En este día, un martes por la tarde, era una "banda de un solo hombre" y, no muy ocupada. El menú es simple; Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas y Nachos - - todos estos vienen con una selección de carnes o verduras en su nivel preferido de picante. Compartimos el plato de 3 tacos con cerdo tirado y un Burrito "Húmedo" - - que es un burrito servido en un plato con una salsa enchilada encantadora (? ) y crema agria en la parte superior. También añadimos una porción doble de guacamole a nuestro pedido. ¿He mencionado que la salsa es increíble? ¡Ambos fueron increíbles! Realmente delicioso, con la cantidad justa de calor (medio, para nosotros) y condimento. Nuestra comida fue hecha por encargo y muy vibrante y de sabor fresco ... estábamos muy contentos. Volveremos para probar las quesadillas y el "Plato Mexicano", muy pronto!

Why is this not called Golden Dragon - it took a lot of finding on Tripadvisor? Anyway - we had a delivery to the local Travelodge and it arrived on time and the guy was helpful in finding us. We had two "specials" and they were tasty - all good.

Tandoori palace is amazing!!!! Just eat messed up my order after a long shift nursing and very hungry and tiered did not deliver my food... Tandoori palace came round and hand delivered my order within half an hour I would recommend this restaurant in all of Cambridge!!! Just eat you need to get it sorted!!! Taking people money and not delivering!!! .

Make the right menu option and the food is pretty good

Really nice food, enjoyed. Thanks

Buena comida y servicio. Nunca nos ha decepcionado la comida. Cada vez que vamos a Cambridge vamos a este restaurante en particular solo por el ambiente encantador y el personal. Nos sentimos bienvenidos y el personal siempre está atento a nuestras necesidades. La señora brasileña (lo siento, olvidé su nombre) es tan amable y su sonrisa y amabilidad nos hace querer venir de nuevo. Vendrá pronto de nuevo

Highly recommend buying from local businesses instead of buying from brands as the cost is freaking expensive here.
