The best restaurants in Arbury Cambridge East of England

Josh was an amazing host! A great evening, thank you

Nice place, but coffee too bitter... They need to learn from hot numbers, dulcedo, etc .. or re assess where they source their beans or who is roasting them. Room for improvement

Best kebab , they take card payments as well.

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.

Absolutely loved this place!! Can't rate them enough!!! Kind, friendly, helpful! The food was insane good!! So authentic, made with love and the flavours were top notch!!! Loved it soo much we got seconds!!! But couldn't eat anymore, so Brough them home and finished them off a few hours later. Service was fantastic. Such a sweet bunch of guys. Clean tidy and just a cute little place. We will back back soon!!! ❤️🥰👌🏾🙏🏾 thank you!!!

I eat biryani and it was fantastic like the most delicious biryani ever and the restaurant was so clean and staff was very police and friendly am giving 5 start for each step

I haven eaten from here alot in the last few years and has always been very descent food ! Lately though I had 2 bad meals in a row and probably won't return.

The service was extremely poor. The room smelled terrible. There was a restaurant, but even if I asked the front desk to borrow a fork, they couldn't. They told me to ask the manager in the morning. Rubbish service attitude.

Food was tasty, though there was not a huge range of main dishes and portions were on the small side. The service was good initially then non-existent. It appeared that staff were inexperienced and mostly unsupervised. To elaborate.... Though we'd made a reservation, no-one checked it. Three different waiters tried to take our drinks and food orders, each unaware of what the others had done. The main dishes arrived quickly, after which we were abandoned We waited 45 mins after finishing the mains to order and receive desserts. No cutlery was provided and the staff were all but invisible. By the time the spoons had been brought, the ice cream accompanying the dessert had mostly melted.

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.

My said it had been delivered. I rang the store, they said the rider's moped had broke down, and another driver was on the way to collect my order. After waiting over 1.5 hours, I rang the shop again, and after hearing some discussion in the background, I was assured my food was on the way and I would be receiving half my money back. Food finally arrived, cold. The cheese wasn't fully melted on my pizza, some of the fries were still completely uncooked... but by this point I was too hungry to deal with waiting any longer. And I still haven't received any portion of my refund!
