The Cambridge Curry Community

I had the pleasure of being invited out for a curry by one of our  Cambridge Curry Crew's  regulars in the fine village of Sutton recently. Located just a couple of miles out from Ely, the village is quite small yet is lucky enough to have its very own Indian restaurant.  My first expectations of the place werent much. It came across as a small house which has been converted in to a restaurant, so I was hardly expecting gilts and glamour.  Upon entering I could see they had worked well with the little space they had. There is a ramp for wheelchair users and a bar located to the left. We were taken to our table and seated immediately. They have done well with the space, especially considering how small the establishment looks from the outside, so we were off to a good start. We were lucky enough to arrive on a "Chef Special Night". This gives us a selection of any starter, any main, any side, and a choice between a rice or a naan...oh, and a tea or coff...

Back in the days when I briefly lived in Sawston I used to visit a place called Redfort Gardens for my curry fix. I look back at the place fondly as though it was an unusual looking Indian restaurant, located in an old Tudor building, the place did a mean curry. I was very sad to hear that it had closed down some years ago as it was easily one of my favourite places at the time. The place is now back open and rebranded as "Kaz's Indian and Bangladeshi Restaurant" and has been for some time now. so I was glad to come back and revisit the place 5 years later (TO THE DAY) and see what they have done with the place.  From the outside, not much as changed, its still the same unusual looking Indian restaurant. It has had a lick of paint and I am glad to see there is still a lot of generous parking at the back for people coming from out of town. Upon entering we had to hunt down the staff who were located at the back at the bar. They showed us to our sea...

As part of my tour of the take away only Indian restaurants in Cambridgeshire I decided to hit the newly opened Cinnamon. Located on the High Street in Chesterton, the place has impressed a lot of people and seems to have established itself as a well respected take away already. The place is well known for its token promotional offer which is a set menu for two people. As you can see from the photo below the set menu for two costs just under £20 and comes with a generous selection of dishes. Delivery is FREE too so you will not fall victim to sneaky hidden charges.  We are given the opportunity to chose from a wide selection of dishes from the curry menu and a choice between rice or naan. We decided to order a lamb dopaiza and chicken vindaloo for our curry and two portions of rice. The rest is all compulsory but does offer some popular dishes that most people should be happy with.  We ordered through Just Eat, though you can order directly through their w...

Me and my buddy Jim decided to head back to the multi award winning restaurant and local legend - The Lalbagh. Located in the small village in Bourn, this place was the host to one of our previous  Cambridge Curry Crew  events last year.  Upon entering we noticed that there was a disabled parking spot at the front of the restaurant and a large car park at the back. There is a ramp for wheel chair users which needs to be requested upon entering.  Once we got in we were warmly greeted by the staff and shown to our seat. We were struck by the large amount of certificates and awards The Lalbagh had on its walls. It was certainly reassuring to see and suits the reputation of the establishment.   The place is incredibly modern and has a string of stylish ornaments located across the restaurant. It had a dark feel to the place which is dimly lit up by blue neon lights, giving it a very stylish yet cosy feel.  Some might prefer a more ligh...
