The best restaurants in Castle Cambridge East of England

Delicious vegetarian Indian dinner. Fresh ingredients in every dish. We loved the crunchy cauliflower entree & the vegetarian butter chicken. Kingfisher beer on draught is a bonus. Margavi looked after us very well. The place is full most nights, unsurprisingly. Highly recommend.

Came for dinner with a two year old and were made very welcome with the offer of a smaller version of whatever pizza we wanted for him. The service was friendly and attentive and even the bill was presented quickly when requested (and this often does not happen in restaurants much to my annoyance). The quality of the dough in particular for our calzone and pizzas was exceptional as were the toppings. The sharing antipasta classico was more than enough for 4 adults. The stand out dessert was the lemon sorbet with prosecco and limoncello, a knockout!! We particularly liked the atmostphere, the decoration and the wide spacing between the tables downstairs (I can't speak for the upstairs seating). All in all a good value, high quality Italian that is family friendly. We will be back.

Bar and shop with really relaxed atmosphere and obviously popular. Thoughtful tasting notes to browse. We were given great advice about the right wine to pair with carbonara - we bought a most excellent Ruby -red Valpolicella 2022. Great advice thank you!

We ate here for the first time on the 11th November. The service was first class, the main course was great, one vegetarian pasta dish and one fish dish and the desserts were delicious. All in all, I would not hesitate to eat here again….

Food was absolutely delicious, staff were super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

The flavours were nice but my main course was cold. The food was served very quickly so does it mean not cooked fresh..yes I think so. For an Indian, it was an expensive experience.

Great selection of food and drink options at reasonable prices especially for current students. Usually open most times of day so very reliable. They have pizza, sandwiches, and sushi available daily. Coffee and cakes are good and can receive rewards card to have your tenth one free. Also nice selection of alcoholic drinks.

I ordered the food around 11:45 they accepted my order around 12 its 1:34 pm now and I still don't have my food :(

Bar was shut when we came back around 930pm so don't bank on getting a drink!

Good to see the place is open afain. Nice pint of Broadside.

I’m incredibly late to post this and for that you have my apologies. This is a very non-traditional pub review haha! Over a year ago, I got married to the love of my life and we decided to have a simple reception at The Sir Isaac Newton. From the first time we met Alissia, she was incredibly accommodating and we had a great experience with her. The night before, we decorated the whole place with what we could, they helped set up the tables according to my seating plans, the food was excellent and all in all I have nothing but love and respect for this pub and all its staff. I will never forget this place as it’s tied to one of the best days of my life. Thank you for making that happen, you’ll always be in my heart 💖

The food was so great, we enjoy coming here every weekend. But there was only one thing that we not happy about. Its the women upstairs (who always playing with her phone), she was so rude and very hard to find her if we need something, always busy with her phone (maybe she is a boss 🫢🫢🫢) . When we finish the meal for a while, she still with her phone, the staff from downstair come to clean and ask us very gently. I think next time we will sit downstair for better service , or no paying service charge for the women upstair 🧐🧐Anw, I want to give them 4-5 stars and hope the women can improve her attitude to enhance the quality of the service here !!!

I was invited to a business lunch at Cote, so not my choice. However, I was pleasantly surprised by what a lovely restaurant Cote is. The staff were also lovely. Attentive, informed and they certainly added to the lovely experience. The best thing about Cote was the food. An extensive menu was presented and the food was simply delicious!. Well cooked, beautifully presented and very tasty. In summary, another great place to eat in Cambridge added to my list.

Many moons back, my Indian wife and I were havering about buying a house on the Cambridge hill, waked down for a meal at what was then Cocum, subsequently Nivedyam and now Pakka - and the quality of the meal led us to set up home nearby! I should explain that I am a Professor of English Literature and Religious Studies, and my wife, one of my first research students in Cambridge, comes from a centuries-old Brahmin family of Hindu saints and scholarly pundits. Hence, when we have visitors from our Indian family or academic guests from the world over to entertain, it is vital to take them to a restaurant that represents the best of Indian (and, in particular,of Kerala cuisine. So we keep a close eye and a sensitive tongue on any change to our much-prized Cocum and I am delighted to report that two visits now to the smart re-vamped restaurant, now PAKKA, have convinced us that the upgrade is stylish (though the image of Shiva is without his flute!), the food as good as ever (I am told the kitchen staff are the same) - and the student waitresses who are from Kerala, quite as charming as the food and decor.
