The best restaurants serving Indian food in Cambridge East of England

Lovely food and service from the waitress who served us. Especially recommended the Fish curries!

Absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for authentic, tasty, great Indian food. The owners and staff are incredibly accommodating and the place is always buzzing whether in the week or a weekend so I wouldn’t definitely recommend booking. Love it and will come back again and again. Thank you!

Very attentive service, very tasty food. We had traditional dishes from Southern India and they were delicious. Thanks a lot, we will come again

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.

Delivery is always very bad You pay what you get it’s a little cheaper than others so you get no veg in veg curry and small meat in meat curry

Fuimos aquí el viernes por la noche después de nuestra horrible experiencia en el Tamarind en Teversham (ver reseña). Qué contraste - aquí en el Indish nos hicieron muy bienvenidos, el personal era muy atento, tomó nuestros pedidos y la comida llegó a tiempo y era realmente genial. Los 4 tuvimos diferentes platos y todos estaban deliciosos. También añadiría que los precios son razonables y sin cargos ocultos. ¡Volveremos!

This has been the worst delivery i’ve ever had. We ordered butter chicken, mushroom rice, egg fried rice, aloo chat puri and aloo gobi bhaji. The butter chicken was sweeter than honey with a ton of butter and fine desiccated coconut in it. The mushroom rice felt like as if it was given a coating of garam masala. And the aloo gobi and aloo chat puri was literally as sour as a lemon. Never getting back.

Amazing food and friendly service - will definitely be back 🤩

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.
