  “Great food. However, no goat curry despite featuring on the lunch menu. Side dishes are limited at lunch time. Have no hesitation in recommending.”

  “I came across this place and it immediately caught my attention because it’s a pub that also serves authentic Indian food. What makes it even more special is that they offer dishes you don’t usually find in Indian restaurants here, especially Indo-Chinese favourites. I contacted them for catering for my son’s birthday party, and Vamsi, who coordinated everything with me, was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly friendly, quick to respond, and made the whole process so smooth and stress-free. From the first conversation to the delivery, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The food arrived on time, was fresh, and tasted delicious. Our guests really enjoyed it, especially the Indo-Chinese dishes like the Manchurian and Hakka-style noodles, which are so hard to find done well here. They were a huge hit with everyone! A big thank you to Vamsi and the team for the excellent food, seamless catering service, and punctual delivery. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely be ordering from them again.”

  “A hidden gem, one of the best places to get Indian food in Cambridge. Had a wonderful meal with good friends (who knew what to order) for a reasonable price. Service was also great, highly recommended!”

  “Booked last minute, was able to get a table but in the pub area not restaurant/dining part. A decent selection of drinks, including a house brew, at a reasonable price (£11.20 for 2 pints of lager). Food was tasty and homemade. The chilli chicken in particular was gorgeous. Basmati rice was slightly overcooked imo, but the naan was excellent. Plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. Parking at the back of the pub and a lovely beer garden.”

  “I had a fantastic meal here. Manish who was working, made the experience memorable by being friendly, attentive, and genuinely interested in our table. The food was delicious, arrived quickly, and you could tell real care went into every dish. I’d happily come back and hope Manish is working the next time I visit”

  “Welcoming pub with wide choice of beers and exceptional food. I chose from the Indian menu, and enjoyed the best pub food I've had this year! Not too pricey either. A bonus was being able to watch the rugby International. Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻”

  “I have visited The Brook with friends multiple times - usually for a couple of drinks with some nibbles. Last night was the first time I went with family for the food. I had heard good things from others and I wasn’t disappointed. We ordered chicken chilli, chicken lollipops, some butter chicken masala and Hyderabadi dum biryani. All the items were great but the lollipop and the biryani were exceptional. The staff is great. They really make you feel comfortable and warm. They even helped us make choices for our drinks & mains. I’m looking forward to visiting The Brook again soon, to explore their weekend special menu :)”

  “Firstly I would like to say thank you to all the staff who are wonderful, attentive and polite. Advised best on what to have with regards to rice and I was not disappointed. I have never had rice like it, packs a flavour punch I didn't know was possible with rice without being greasy. I had the Mutton Keema which was a full dish of flavour at medium hot, perfect balance of spices and flavours, small bit of heat that doesn't burn or kill flavour and wears off as quick as it arrives, very professional balance. My other half had Nalli Nihari, could tell that was handled with care, the meat fell off the bone, any fat was soft and perfect, the sauce had a slightly higher spice kick than mine but was worth it. None of the dishes we had where bulked out with onion and tomato, it was pure meat and sauce. The sizes where bigger than I expected at the price, worth every penny and I felt full and beyond satisfied that I want to travel the hour back to there and try more dishes. I will go through the menu! Glad I went. Glad I tried. Looking forward to going back. Thinking of next items...... Thank you all!”
