The best restaurants in Ely East East Cambridgeshire East of England

Covid Safe, Thoroughly enjoyed the food, so tasty and plenty of it! Even had a few cheeky cocktails. Can’t wait to return. I cannot work out why this restaurant isn’t right at the top of the trip advisor list for Ely? If you haven’t been go!

We came across this lovely restaurant by chance on our recent visit to Ely. What a find the food is so tasty and well cooked Tried the ackee and salt fish tartlet as a starter, something we had not had before but will again it was lovely and light. The best pit though were the main courses of jerk chicken and jerk pork. The spicyness was just right. The rice and peas was lovely as well. The fried plantain complemented the dish. The lady who runs this restaurant is so lovely, warm friendly and engaging. If I didn’t live so far away it would most definitely be a regular haunt of ours

Excellent cod and chips served by new owner. Generous portions and freshly cooked to order. Served in a box to keep it warm and secure. Good online ordering experience

sorry I won't be having a breakfast here again because i'm not keen on grease let alone loads of lard and it may put weight on the mid sectionbut everyone loves a fry up in the winter don't they

Great to see a food outlet with beer on tap. Hope its successful.

Clean!! Although a very good attempt was made to create an atmosphere, sadly, very few people were there. My appetiser of whitebait was delicious though. I will definitely come again but not on my own.

Went here with a friend recently and we were pretty disappointed. Put simply, the food is bland. If it was just not very spicy, we'd say "eh, it's in a small British town, fits the local clientele" and just ask for spicier next time. However, it was just lacking taste altogether, and we could say that of all the dishes we ordered (we ordered 3 each). Both me and my friend agreed on this. The lassi's were large, which is good, but they were a little too sweet. You could actually feel the sugar grains crunching in your mouth as you drank it. Pricing was a little on the expensive side but not too bad all things considered. Budget around £25 per adult. Service and atmosphere were pretty standard, nothing to write home about but to me that's not super important. Haven't tried the other Indian places around Ely yet, might update this review if I find better. UPDATE: Came back here and asked for spicy, which resulted in a better meal, but not significantly better. It at least bumped it up from 2 to 3 stars. I've now also tried another Indian restaurant in Ely and it wasn't any better. You're actually probably better off with this one.

Visited after they reopened and had a great time. Starters and mains tasted good at reasonable prices

Enjoyed a well sized regular cod that was thick and full in flavour minus skin so I could enjoy the whole of the batter on the underside rather than leaving it because it has fish skin stuck to it. The regular chips were nicely crisp and fluffy on the inside with a decent curry sauce to add a little extra to them, and taste just as good with just some salt & vinegar which you can put on as little or as much as you like. All the food is always cooked fresh so do not expect the usual in and out within a few minutes…but you are getting QUALITY for being patient. This is in my opinion the best fish and chip shop in Ely and it always has been good quality ever since I was a kid. Giving it a solid 9/10 and the only improvement I could see is in what variety of potato is being used (I’m fussy and do like a little brown sweetness from a chip….Sagitta being one for this) But trust me, you really won’t be disappointed with how they taste as they are. 14/10/2024 Regular Cod £7.20 Regular chips £2.80 Curry sauce (homemade) £1.30

Trying a bit too hard to sell me extra stuff.

Very good example of a Costa. Friendly staff, always made to feel welcome.

CASH ONLY PLACE. Everything super nice, except that the back room was lacking fresh air, so the smell and air felt really heavy. Apart from that, the service was prompt and the portion massive for the money. If you are two adults, easily can get one big cod and chips and share.

Well, I’d give zero stars if I could. For what you get, you’re better off getting a microwave tv dinner which is so disappointing as we have been before and it was amazing!!! The menu is very dated, which I can see is part of the yesteryear charm, but the standard of ingredients and cooking is really poor for the price you pay. The starters had gristle and bone in them to an unreasonable level. The gravy with the beef was watery, the meat was chewy and the fish was overcooked to be too dry. I’m sure no one but forethought and planning are to blame, but the roast meat was served with boiled new potatoes as roast potatoes had run out by 7pm on a weekend. The waiter was a cheerful boy, but showed little flare for decent service, and took almost full plates back to the kitchen. No one asked how our meal was, and when we tried to speak to someone, they were all in the kitchen. I had hoped this was a random series of unfortunate events on a night without usual staff, but it appears a new normal having looked at other reviews. Such a shame for a historically lovely establishment with a beautiful location and lovely setting.

Service was good from the sole waitress ,however food was poor I ordered a cesar salad for 13.95 it was supposed to come with poached egg and cos lettuce ,came with spinach and rocket no poached egg ,I don't like to complain but when you're not told about its going to be different to what is on the menu because we have run out and they have made it up as they go along ,my first big question ,in this day of allergy, intolerance etc suppose I was allergic to rocket or spinach ??? I wanted to go the day before but I was told that they were going to be bust later on ,o they could not accomodate us ,I saw lots of free tables ,we just wanted to eat and go a complete lost opportunity ,I went to a restaurant opposite, when I came out i the same empty tables at prezzo were still empty and had not been filled,I also get annoyed at only card payments are excepted ,so what happens to the people that don't have cards, feels like discrimination on those that are unable to have cards we are over covid now I thought ! Will not return to a prezzo Sorry !!

Love this place.Service is off the limits people taking my order were very nice, and food was amazing, highly recommend!
