My, my, my, what a weird little place you are, Shiraz. Sure, I went to see you on a friend date…read more Sure, we were pre-movie early birds. But why you remained awkwardly empty--aside from the owner eating at one of the tables in the back--for the whole hour and change we were there still perplexes me. Especially since the owner/server was oddly charming, the Persian (does Persia still exist in the world of Culinaria?) tea was sweet but pleasing, the Vegetable Bourek was tasty, and the Moussaka was pretty excellent. So why did the dining experience leave me feeling like I just took down cheese-covered lentils in the Orientalist Twilight Zone? Oh, Shiraz--you might not have the aura of a "winner," but I like you anyway. So, Dear Reader, help a poor restaurant out--the next time you and your group want to go out for a lively meal, book Shiraz. The food is reasonably priced, they have cheap house wine, and a browse on localsecrets.com should turn up an offer or two. Whether you have the heart to cash in a 20% off food coupon as the only table in the house is up to you--I sure didn't.

It's a shame the restaurant was so empty when we arrived at 7pm. The waitress was very friendly and helpful, and the prices were reasonable. If you're looking for something a bit different in Cambridge, I highly recommend it - makes a change from yet another 'Italian' restaurant!

Don't forget to grab your wine/beer beforehand - it's BYOB! Enjoy and tell Said hi from some past customers from Texas.

We always seem to end up here with the Cambridge University Brass Band events at the end of one of…read morethe nights. It's like tradition. Concert, pubs, curry. I think the students like to come here because of the £10 deal. I think it includes a poppadom, rice, naan, and a main. And maybe a drink. It's a deal. Unfortunately the food is pretty terrible. I've eaten here twice and both times the curry was pretty mediocre. I think they feel they can get away with a lot because we're dining with the students. They don't know they're dealing with a Yelper! I just wish they'd put more effort into the flavor. It's pretty bland curry. They can do it hotter, but it still doesn't really improve the flavor, just makes your mouth burn. The chutneys with the poppadoms seem like they're out of a jar. The rice portion is stupidly small. The keema naan had barely any lamb mince in it. I'll probably come back because I have to when we're out with the brass band folks. I just wish they'd decide on a better curry house.

You are unlikely to go back to a restaurant when you have had a bad experience even if the dishes taste great. This is not the case with this restaurant, the food is nice and the service is excellent. They have the most courteous and friendly staff you will ever come across, this has given the restaurant a good name over recent years. They have an extensive list of vegetarian option and the wine menu is impressive, but it will do with some more stock. Great tasting food with a brilliant service, that's a bonus.
