This is a terrific little Indian place on Regent St. The location is quite close to most other…read morethings of interest in Cambridge. The storefront is rather unobtrusive while the interior is relatively cozy with a sedate atmosphere. I went in on a Sunday evening and it was moderately busy. However, I was on my own and was able to be seated quite quickly. My server attended to me right away and did a very good job taking care of me. The menu offered several favorites. I chose the Chicken Dopiaza as a main accompanied by Punjabi Chole and Peshwari Naan. It was all excellent. The contrast between the sweet taste of the naan and the spice of the curry proved a very good combination. My final bill with everything included (drink, food and tax) was £23.95. This was just under $32 USD at the time. I was quite happy with this value. I will consider another visit next time I am in Cambridge.

Unequivocally the best Indian restaurant in the city center of Cambridge. Most standard curry…read morehouses in the UK tend to oversaturate their dishes with excessive amounts of oil and grease. Vedanta, on the other hand, eschews this ubiquitous practice of "over-oiling" in favor of a more finesse-based approach. The end product is an absolutely delightful array of curry comestibles. Ample vegetarian options are available on the menu. It is certainly not the spiciest eating establishment in Cambridge - but if you are a heat-seeker, you can certainly ask the staff the increase the spice-level if you are so inclined. In sum, a delicious option for standard North Indian fare within easy walking distance of the bus station and the train station. As a one time student at the university, I searched extensively for the best place in town to get a curry - and this is undoubtedly it! Pro Tip: You should consider making a reservation on weekends, as it can sometimes get busy - otherwise you might have to wait for a bit for a table to open up.
