Quick info
About SWAAD CAMBRIDGE
SWAAD CAMBRIDGE is an Indian takeaway in Cambridge, run as a cloud kitchen with Hyderabadi biryani at the centre of its menu, at 83a Mill Rd. The chicken dum biryani and the chicken 65 biryani, also called chicken fry piece biryani, lead the range, with mutton dum biryani and lamb biryani alongside. Curries include chole masala and chicken butter masala, and raita, naan and chapati round out an order. There is no dining room, so food is collected from behind the Dale's Brewery car park, where customers wait in a corridor for their order. Orders can be placed online ahead of time and picked up when ready. A complimentary drink comes with each order.

Customer Review Summary
The negatives are sharp. One reviewer found the food overly salty and oily, with rock-hard bread, a warm drink, and an off raita, and threw away the chicken 65 biryani too, though the half boiled egg in it was the one thing they ate. Another called the biryani too spicy to eat and warned against the naan and chapati. A third was brushed off when asking about a lunch special sign, then left.

“We had awful experience. Never ever buy naan or chapati from them. My daughter got stomach pain after eating naan. Biryani is next level spicy and we couldn't eat. I am not big fan of throwing food but I had to throw all the food which we ordered”

“We tried the Chicken 65 Biryani and the regular chicken biryani at Swad Cambridge, and honestly, it was the best biryani we’ve had in Cambridge, hands down. The flavours were spot‑on, incredibly authentic, and the portion sizes were extremely generous. Every bite tasted fresh and perfectly spiced. Highly recommended for anyone craving real, satisfying Indian food.”

“Ordered my biryani from the train, ready for collection when I arrived. Location is a need-to-know, as it's not a restaurant. Pickup is behind the dale's brewery (hot numbers etc.) car park, so it's not the easiest to find. I waited in the corridor and was greeted by a friendly guy ready with my order in less than 5 minutes. Food is awesome, punchy and great depth of flavour. I've had both the chicken dum and chicken 65 biryanis, and will be back for more. Portion is a good size too.”

“Amazing foods with complimentary drinks. Best Indian foods . Really cheap and affordable. Worth it . But only takeaway. You can do online order as a delivery.”

“Was in the neighbourhood and dropped in to pick up something for lunch. Enquired about the sign that said lunch special in the pic. Guy acted like he had no idea about it, something along the lines of 'we don't have anything like that' and then turned and walked off into the kitchen. Waited a minute to order something else and then then decided to walk my custom elsewhere on mill road Great service here 👍”
