Having a snoop at Prana

A few weeks ago I noticed a new Indian restaurant on Mill Road. This was a huge relief for me because of the sudden decline in Indians on Cambridge's mini "curry mile" has now reached HALF what it was a few years ago.
Last year Royal Spice closed down, which was one of my favourite Indians on Mill Road. Only a month later Chutney Joe's closed, leaving only the Curry Queen, Kohinoor and Golden Spice left. 

I couldn't figure out how Prana was an actual restaurant because its so small. At first glance, it looks like a take-away only establishment, but after my meal at The Golden Curry today I decided to pop in and have a chat. They were kind enough to show me around and the restaurant has a huge downstairs area. The claim there is 50 seats! 

I need to give this place a try! ASAP! 

The very idea there is a place in Cambridge I havent tried is KILLING ME!

Montaz - Ely.

Image
As you may or may not be aware, Montaz is a chain of Indian restaurants around the Cambridgeshire area. They have locations in St Ives, Brampton, Newmarket, Ely and Bourne. I have taken it on myself to try my best and review every single one and compare them to see which is best. I am also curious to see if they are the same across the board in quality and style. I had been to the one in Ely Montaz before but many years ago, and I remember being very impressed with the place in my post  "The Indian Ely Tour".  A couple of months back I even managed to hit  the St Ives Montaz  to see if it was any good in comparison but sadly it didn't live up to what I remember to Ely's Montaz.  I decided to try the Ely Montaz one more time to refresh my memory as I hadn't been in quite some time. Here is my most recent review. One thing I noticed about Montaz as from the outside it hasn't changed one bit. Still located next to its rival  The Sylhet , the r

Cam Spice - Great Eversden

Image
Just when I think i've have tried every Indian restaurant in the Cambridge area, another one pops up!  Not that I am complaining! Keep em coming I say! This afternoon, I had the pleasure of going to the quaint village of Great Eversden to try one of the newest Indian restaurants around, Cam Spice (The Hoops pub).   The restaurant is modern yet set in an old English back drop. The wooden beams along the wall and ceiling are a charming touch.  There is a stunning bar at the entrance which is complimented by some water bubble glass across the room, reminiscent of Indians like the  Rang Mohol  &  Curry Palace .  Everything is presented well and there is a lot of windows which let in a lot of light too.  The staff were great from the very start and warmly greeted us from the moment we entered. We were seated down promptly and shown the menu. Upon reading I noticed that the prices were very reasonable. Popular curry dishes were approximately £7 each and rice fl

Tandoori Palace - Histon Road.

Image
After a heavy weekend dining at The Sultan in St Ives  and  The Regency Club in London , we decided to make it a weekend trio by hitting one of the most overlooked Indian restaurants in Cambridge - The Tandoori Palace. Located on Histon Road, surrounded by some of the cream of Cambridge Indian dining, the Tandoori Palace is often forgotten about as it lacks the usual gimmick or neon sign which seems to be necessary to get noticed now days.   We decided to head in on a Sunday afternoon, still full from my trip to  The Regency Club. We were greeted and shown to a table. The place was empty at the time but the place looked nice. It felt like a very text book, all round, Indian restaurant - A theme which I noticed would continue through the entire dining experience.  A good old fashioned Indian restaurant - They seem to be few and far between now days. We were given our menus and ordered some papadums. The first thing I noticed by looking at the menu is the very aver
