Nirala was previously known as Tandoori Villa, not only did its name change so did the service offered and the atmosphere from it previously drab look into something brighter. They make good dhansak and other popular Indian dishes. The problem with Nirala is its inconsistency, the food taste good some days and other days are quite bland. You wonder whether they change their chef after every shift. There has been a general improvement of the restaurant and the services provided over the past years.

This Indian restaurant is a bit off the beaten track in a village outside Cambridge (though it can…read morebe easily reached by taking bus no. 7 from the town centre) but it is well worth the trip - I haven't found a better curry in Cambridge! The premises are decorated in the 'curry house style' without being kitschy and the Indian muzak played is not too loud - actually I've become quite fond of it! Thanks to the division of the place into three separate areas it is possible to accommodate couples as well as larger parties without the one disturbing the other. The customer service is second to none (hot towels and complimentary chocolates) and the staff are very friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It does however get very busy on Friday and Saturday evenings, so there may well be quite a wait in between courses. On these nights I recommend visiting after 8.30pm. The menu offers a great selection of traditional dishes for both starters and main courses, as well as a selection of specials - I can heartily recommend the tandoori mixed grill (served with a naan bead), the garlic lamb and the chicken chana. The vegetable side dishes, rices and breads are all of exceptional quality. Everything is served in very generous portions. Don't leave room for dessert, it's not worth it. There is bottled and draught beer available as well as wine and softdrinks. The full menu is available to take away for which there is a 10% discount and only a half hour wait from order to collection.

Dont be put off by the weeknight food offers, they dont need to do this, the food is worth every penny. They really cram them in, so booking in advance is definitely adviseable.

After a decent amount of research all over the city, i honestly do not know anywhere better. Slap bang in the bright lights of Cherry Hinton High Street, this is your best bet alongside some rather run of the mill takeaway options. I particularly fondly remember their Biriyani with egg omelette on top which always hit the spot. I have tried other things there too, and are always of a high standard. The staff supply everything in a curteous, organised manner and its always pleasing to see them busy on a weekend evening as this place deserves success.

I bought the set menu for two recently, £18 as a takeaway…read more Most of it was exactly as you get in 99% of takeaways in the uk, Pilau rice with the odd grains of rice dyed red with colouring, onion relish likewise dyed red. The Naan bread and Popudums were good, the lamb was really good and the chicken was ok. Maybe I'll try some of you Qypers' recommendations next time I go, and I will go back for a sit-down when I get the chance. The staff were really friendly and efficient, and the food was ready in less than 10 minutes.

Our lamb vindaloo was very good, with a nice pleasant spice, good tender lamb, and a very fruity gravy, a little more so that I typically get, but still pretty good. The butter chicken wasn't quite as flavorful as it sometimes is, but did have a pat of butter on top of the dish (hardly necessary, but why not) and the prawn disk we ordered had a similar nice dark rich gravy and lots of nice big prawns. They were shell on, which made for a bit of a mess when it came time to eat, but still very good. Our naan and papadum were also good, but...no mint corriander chutney! We probably should have asked, but it wasn't provided with the papadum. Service was attentive. I will say that this got a little expensive, but I also think that Indian food tends to be that way by the time you're done ordering all of the bread and rice and whatever else - individual entrees don't seem that expensive, but it creeps up on you by the time you're done. This is probably a very strong 3 - I'd definitely head back if given the chance.

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!!

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.)
