    We had to wait 20 minutes for a slightly cramped communal table, and it was all worth it. My…read morePhilly cheesesteak inspired sandwich was truly excellent, with warm, juicy flavorful beef and rich cheese curds, nicely balanced by green bell peppers and onions and bound together by a mild garlic aioli on perfect sandwich bread. Also got a slightly spicy and crisp coleslaw for a cool contrast and a minor dose of vitamins. My tablemates were also really pleased with their orders (a vaguely East Asian glazed chicken with pickled Banh Mi-style veggies and a cold roast beef with arugula--must try those next). Wow. Another reason to visit Cambridge.

    Nice, high quality sandwiches. I actually went here two…read moredays in a row while staying in Cambridge. The first day I ordered two sandwiches, the Porchetta and the Jerk Chicken. The Porchetta sandwich has nice roasted pork and a crispy strip of pork skin to top it off. The description says it has a salsa verde sauce. To me, it was more like a pesto-style sauce. The pork was all meat and didn't have any globs of fat that you sometimes find in American pulled pork barbecue. The Jerk Chicken Sandwich was the weekly special. It consisted of several pieces of skin-on mostly dark meat chicken, house made slaw and I think a little mayo. I took off the chicken skin. It wasn't crispy and I don't care for much chicken skin. Even doing that, it had good flavor. A nice blend of spices and a little spiciness. I didn't eat it right away but it was still good. Like I said, I ordered this sandwich the next day. This time I ate it soon after ordering. The roll was still warm and slightly crunchy. I liked even more when eating it "fresh." I removed the skin on this one too. I used the take out window on the side and they were pretty quick, even though there were about four or five people in front of me. I'll definitely go back when in town and craving a sandwich.

    This was my first Pret A Manger store that I have been in when I got to the UK. Now I realize that…read morethis store has tons of locations all around the UK and it is pretty convenient! I love the brightly lit store with such a variety of different lunch sandwiches and of course drinks. I had their smoke salmon sandwich and it was super bomb! I also ordered an iced americano black and it was all pretty good. This place is clean and organized which is also a bonus. A little bit on a smaller side for chairs and tables but maybe it's because I'm from America and everything to me in the UK seems a little bit tight. Overall we have eaten and different Prets around town and can say their sandwiches are legit!!!

    Pret A Manger has a hard-to-miss logo; it's practically everywhere (city centres, train stations,…read moreetc.) so it's a very familiar brand to many. After grabbing a couple of cheeky snacks in London and being satisfied with the product, we were eager to step in for another go at this location in Cambridge. You'll find it amongst many frequented shops in a busy, but easily accessed block of town. Their sandwiches are good, specifically the baguettes. We've had the Ham & Cheese (Niman Ranch applewood smoked ham, Swiss, Mesclun) and Chicken Caesar & Bacon (Chargrilled Caesar Chicken (antibiotic free), arugula, parmesan shavings, bacon on artisan baguette). Both were great. Though pre-packed, the bread is crispy and ingredients are fresh enough. The Dijon mustard and mayonnaise add the perfect flare to complete a tasty bite. Everything is packaged well, clearly labeled, and organised on the shelves. Despite it being a major chain eatery, Pret provides convenience, reasonable pricing, good quality, and usually does it right.

    It's nostalgic and the best sandwich shop. When I studied abroad in London back in 2006- I was so…read morelucky to live up the street and got to eat here everyday! I've come back to visit London several times since then (most recently in September) and its amazing how all the shops have changed on this block but this sandwich shop still remains! I am sooo glad it's still here! Seriously the best sandwiches, hot dishes such as Samosas- still cheap and fast service! Love that the locals come here everyday and know they can get the best sandwich or hot food from here! I'm obsessed with their simple bacon and egg sandwich (all comes on a baguette) I get it with no sauce of any kind. My second choice- chicken with corn. Simple yet so tasty. No need a million toppings-

    This is the best sandwich shop in the world and I look down on anyone that disagrees. Just kidding…read more The sandwiches and employees here are pretty amazing though- as are the prices! I came here 9 years ago when I was a student and vowed to come back to try more tasty treats. I did just that and brought my husband this time! We ordered: -Tandoori sandwich (hot) -Peri Peri Chicken sandwich (hot) Both were so delicious, huge, and under 3 pounds (which is unbelievable)! I would say peri peri chicken was the tastiest. The flavor was on point and had a good kick of spice. If you want to save money and are in the area-maybe to go visit the V&A or another museum, come grab a quick meal to go here first and then have a picnic!

    Nando's is actually one of the best fast food places to eat in the UK. It's kind of a mix between…read morefast food (the food does come out quite quickly) and a sit-down restaurant because there is a bit of table service. But the food quality is substantially better than that of fast food restaurant and this place is no different. Shared a Boneless Platter and although the flavors was spot on, was a bit disappointed with the amount they gave us. Felt like the chicken thighs were a bit smaller than usual and so were each of the sides. Regardless, the flavors was pretty good as the chicken wasn't super dry and worked well with the extra sauces that you can grab on the side. I also appreciate the garlic bread, crunchy on the top and soft in the middle. My favorite thing to order is the chicken thighs because of how tender it is, but the chicken butterfly/breast is also not too bad Overall, pretty good experience at this Nando's other than the fact that the serving size was quite small. I would say that this Nando's fluctuates with the amount of seats available - Saturday lunch is around a 30 minute wait while Sunday dinner is completely empty.

    I came here at noon on a Friday. We definitely beat the lunch rush, but service was still a bit…read moreslow. (I'm not complaining, but I wouldn't recommend coming here if you are on a tight schedule.) I got the Rainbow salad with chicken. WOW! This was an incredible salad. Grains, pickled vegetables, a good kick on the chicken sauce. My only (tiny) complaint is that the knives at the restaurant were too dull to cut through the broccolini. I felt quite feral as I tried (and failed) to saw through it with essentially a butter knife. Still, not a big deal and the food was 10/10 worth it!
