About The Corner House
Pool and Nepalese cooking share the bill at The Corner House, a pub on Newmarket Road in Cambridge with an English pool table that plays free on Sundays. The pub side keeps running as usual, with beers on tap and Sky Sports on the screens. The kitchen turns out momos, including a veggie version, alongside curries such as chicken dhansak, king prawn and goat, plus mushroom rice and special rice to go with them. Starters and sides run from Onion Bhaji and Samosas to garlic naan, pakoras, Chilli Mogo and Chilli Paneer, and a mixed grill arrives sizzling over onions. The menu runs to 82 dishes in all, so groups splitting several plates have plenty to work through. Doors open daily, and dogs are welcome inside. Out back there is a beer garden with green space.

Customer Review Summary
The Nepalese food is what reviewers keep returning to, surprised to find it inside a working pub: momos draw the most specific praise, with the soft, juicy nepali momos and the veggie momo both singled out as snack or starter. Close behind sit the curries and grills, a chicken dhansak, king prawn curry with mushroom rice and garlic naan, chicken rum rum that one diner says held up as a takeaway the next day, and a mixed grill described as served sizzling with crispy pakoras and onions underneath. Several mention the pool table, free on Sundays, and sports on screen, and one notes a good selection of beers on tap. Portion size is the one recurring caveat: a three star review calls the goat and prawn curry and special rice very tasty but tapas sized with no side included, while others report decent portions. Staff come up repeatedly as welcoming and attentive, with one reviewer crediting a server's genuine smile throughout the meal.

“We went to the corner house last night for a beer and food and while the food was very tasty (we had the goat and prawn curry and special rice) the portions were so small (each meal is more like a tapas size and £15/16 each with no side) …”

“Had a lovely experience at this nepali restaurant. The nepali momos were absolutely delicious soft juicy. The chilli chicken was perfect. What made the visit even more special was the warm welcoming service specially Roose who attended to us was incredibly polite attentive and always had a genuine smile which made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout our meal. Great food, great atmosphere and truly kind service I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone craving authentic nepali flavors.”
