One issue I have, which has repeated itself every time I go, is the difficulty in getting a glass of water. I'm glad B.L. also ran into this problem so I'm not the only one. Last time I went, I personally counted 6 requests for water to at least 3 different servers before it came. Is there a conspiracy here? when I order beer, it comes quick no problem. Are they trying to steer me towards buying a drink? I don't know, but it's happened often enough for me to wonder. Won't stop me from coming back though, because it is very good, but I might just bring a bottle of water with me next time.

We ate with a large group at Navdhanya in their room upstairs after my sister's wedding rehearsal. My only complaint is that the room was stiflingly hot!! We were in England during a heat wave (80's and 90's) and the building doesn't have any air conditioning. 30+ people crammed in a poorly ventilated room eating spicy Indian food and drinking liberally... You can see the potential for trouble there, right? I'm happy to report no one passed out. (My dad did have to leave before dessert though.) And, we all gorged ourselves on delicious food I cannot name.

Food was good. But tonight's order was a disaster! I ordered from *their* website but the…read morerestaurant said they did not receive it despite my card being charged and receiving an order confirmation. The guy said I can reorder since I'm there and so I did. Not only did I have to wait for the food but was told that I would have to contact a third party for a refund! He had to charge my card for the reorder and it was left to me to correct their mistake by contacting a third party for a refund for the online order?! It's completely absurd and a lack of accountability for them to place the legwork on their customers when they are trying to cut out the middleman that they promote on their own website! We are here on holiday and making international calls to correct someone else's mistakes is not a getaway. There was ONE person servicing the tables. He tried his best to help but he said he's new and there was no manager onsite. It's such a poorly run operation that puts their incompetence and greed over their customers. Avoid! The food does not make up for the inconvenience, experience, and lack of service.

There are places that sell food and then there's Pipasha. Forget your No 22s and Loch Fynes, your Hotel Du Vins and your Cambridge Blues. Pipasha is the place to start your Friday nights, with a neverending array of curries, drinks refilled without a word, and service that borders on the magical. There's no single standout dish, almost everything has its fan. I've only ever been with friends and we share dishes between us, with an assortment of naans, rice and vegetable sides, and I've never been disappointed. But be warned: Don't expect to get a table on a Friday if you just turn up. Make sure you book, again and again.

Expect to be barked at by a fat man when you want to order. Expect to be surrounded by tables of rugby teams when you eat.

From what I understand, management/ownership has switched hands in the last year or two so I'm unsure whether that has had any effect. From the moment we were seated to the moment we paid the check, we've uncomfortably felt rushed to finish our meals, despite the restaurant not being busy. It's really put a dampener on the social aspect of dinners out with my companions, because this place has the setting and menu to allow for such. Despite my hesitation to dine in from now on, the food is still good (particularly the lamb dishes and curries) and it's still a decent takeaway option in the area.

I have ordered from there many times for years and it has been ok, I like the food. Last time I…read moreordered on Mon 8 Aug, one item was wrong (chicken instead of lamb jalfrezi), another one was missing (pilau rice). I noticed the mess-up after their closing time (10:30pm) so didn't call but sent them an email to info@tamarind-cambridge.co.uk, where I explained the above and requested a refund for the price difference between the lamb and chicken and for the missing rice. As of today, 11 Aug 2022 I haven't received any response. They obviously don't care about their regulars, ripped me off with cheaper meats and missing items and don't even have the decency to refund me. Will vote with my feet and not order from them anymore. Avoid.

Meghna The best advice you will get from me if you decide to…read morevisit Meghna is to ignore the surrounding area and settle down, as the best part is yet to come. Located in a rather narrow street is definitely not an advantage, but the interior is something to appreciate. Simple decor of rows of tables arranged around a central bar, creamy coloured walls and brightly lit room. The room was still quite stylish with it wooden themed design. Meghna's strongest point is the meal, they serve impressive dhansak dishes, look no further if you are a fan of dhansak. The well-dressed waiters go about their duties meticulously, taking orders quickly and removing your plate as soon as you finish your meal. They also offer take-away option, which is good especially if you are in hurry but still want something nice. Verdict: good service and great meal.
