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.

Recibimos una amable bienvenida en este restaurante luminoso y moderno y nos ofrecieron una opción de dos mesas - afortunado momento ya que el restaurante estaba lleno y nos alegramos de haber reservado. La comida era buena y todo el mundo tenía mucho cuidado con las alergias que tenemos dos de nosotros. Este restaurante ofrece más opciones para personas con alergias que muchos otros restaurantes. Sin duda volveríamos la próxima vez que estemos en Cambridge.

Después de mi visita, tuve una horrenda intoxicación alimentaria. Nunca he estado tan enfermo. Terminé en A&E. He escuchado historias sobre este lugar y su reputación, pero quería probarlo. Ojalá nunca hubiera cruzado el umbral.

Very Great food and friendly atmosphere we have odered the paneer Lababdar made by chef Loki Very great food …

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.

Lovely spot to spend a few hours watching the world go by in summer or a nice cosy bolt hole in winter. Superb wine selection, we’ve never been disappointed and the cheeses are normally brilliant.

Shabby looking and tired place. Dirty bathroom with black mould on the ceiling and filthy skirting boards ànd a very rusty soap dispenser in bathroom. Wouldn't recommend and probably one of the worst we have stayed at! Save your money and go elsewhere.

The food here is amazing! I especially love the Naan with curry and cabbage thoran. Their service is friendly and quick too!

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

Great food, all freshly prepared from local ingredients with really great service and atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

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 💖

My husband and I are what others would call fussy and we are happy to be labelled that because if those who call eating natural organic, homemade, homegrown food fussy, then we pity them, as they have no idea what real food is. We are also vegetarian and pecetarian and rarely eat out, so, we were pleasantly surprised that the food was excellent with plenty of vegetarian choices and plenty of side dishes. Although the food is not organic, they did have an excellent very reasonably priced organic wine and some raw unpasturised cheeses which you rarely find in other restaurants. However, the highlight of the evening was the service by Michaela. She was very knowledgeable about the food and recommended some stunning dishes and additions to our meal. Her knowledge on food and wines is excellent and she shared some very interesting information about food origin and cheese making that we found fascinating. Nothing was too much for Michaela. She never rushed us or made us feel like a number. We felt valued customers and will definitely return next time we visit Cambridge.

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.
