Farewell to the Rang Mohol!

Tragedy has stricken Cambridge today as we hear the news that onc of the top Indian restaurants has closed its doors... Highlights for the restaurant include it's stunning interior decorating and atmosphere,  it's excellent disabled access and facilities, and of course, it's fine cuisine.

Prana clearly needed it in my opinion. Judging from  my previous experience  the place did fantastic food but was incredibly claustrophobic with the seating area being located in the catacombs of the restaurant. Space, lighting and acoustics were all suffering and it really struggled to pull me back to the restaurant.  All that has changed now and they have done a fantastic job giving it a new look and feel. The place has had a massive extension installed out the back giving it a huge amount of space. This makes the restaurant dining area is all on the same level (compared to being mostly in the basement in the past). There is now lots of light and the interior decorating giving it its
