The best restaurants serving Indian food in Cambridge East of England

Utterly fantastic, could not fault. A lovely experience and lovely food. The Staff are extremely welcoming the service is impeccable.

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

Nice vegetarian food and very good service

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.

Got my Mum and rest of family takeaway curries (lamb bhuna) and was very disappointing birthday meal, we had gone six months ago here and had been expensive (£70 for four) but good curry, now is bland, half cold and packed out with chopped onions. I couldn't taste any spice in the source at all. Suspect restaurant has been taken over or new staff running it and seemed very different curry and produced on cheap and sold for much.

Fish wasnt fresh, batter was oily and old. Rice were alright but absolutely bland, not even salt

Visité esta noche con 2 asociados de larga data. Uno de nuestros miembros estaba gravemente enfermo solo 24 horas antes de nuestra experiencia, pero afortunadamente se unió... dijo que salir y asistir fue la mejor decisión que ha tomado. La comida era simplemente perfecta, un verdadero placer para nuestras papilas gustativas. El sistema de reservas era perfecto y las 3 llamadas telefónicas de confirmación repartidas durante la semana fueron cálidamente recibidas y bienvenidas. Al llegar recibimos la más cálida de las bienvenidas e inmediatamente sentimos que estábamos entre amigos. Nuestros menús estaban en la mesa esperando y el apretón de manos, abrazo combo nos hizo sentir como en casa y seguro. La elección de 2 tipos de poppadom solo construyó el sentido de anticipación dentro de nosotros. El entrante de tikka de pato era tan suculento como sabroso y el plato mixto era como si el cielo se hubiera puesto en mi plato. El personal era atento y nos trató como si fuéramos las reinas indias que habían nombrado su restaurante. Un amigo estaba ligeramente desilusionado por el limón más pequeño que el promedio en su coca, pero pronto apareció cuando se le proporcionó una lima entera para condimentar su bebida a su gusto. Los platos principales se servían justo y a su debido tiempo, los niveles de especias y temperatura eran justo como habíamos pedido, casi como si nuestras preferencias individuales se hubieran cortado y agregado con el rico sabor. Con todo, lo que había comenzado como un curry antes de Navidad con viejos amigos se convirtió en una extravagancia verdaderamente espiritual que vivirá mucho tiempo en la memoria. Fue tan bueno que no tuvimos objeciones a la propina del 30% añadido. El 10% para cada uno de nosotros era más que la relación calidad-precio. El segmento de recompensa después de la cena fue un cambio refrescante de la oferta habitual de menta. 10 / 10 con un extra 7. 56 para la perfección absoluta del tikka de pato.

Great food and impeccable service. Always enjoyed a nice curry meal here with friends.

Friendly and helpful staff, good menu and sensible prices. Always busy - popular destination. Give it a try! Parking can be tricky - allow a few minutes.

Primera visita a este restaurante. Comida muy interesante y diferente en oferta. Mi korma vegetariano era encantador y toda nuestra comida estaba bien cocinada y deliciosa. Personal muy atento. Me gustó y volveré

I popped in here yesterday for a lazy tea and while there was a bit of a wait, the food was well worth it. The haddock and chips were brilliant; flaky, tender fish with a nice batter, and proper chippy chips; chunky, well-cooked and not too greasy. They also have an indian menu, and the onion bhaji were amazing, they were clearly home made and had a nice spice to them. Definitely going back.
