Good coffee here, and the breakfast menu pairs nicely with it. Had a flat white with the avocado toast, the balance was spot on. A relaxing spot for a morning bite, though it got a bit busy later.

Been coming here for years. The portions are always huge, and you can see them cooking everything fresh right there. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Last morning in Cambridge, had to come back for the Menemen. The eggs were so fresh and the flavours just popped. That cappuccino was the perfect warm-up. Staff were really lovely, made it a nice quiet start to the day.

Nice local. The vegan options are a real plus - had the jackfruit burger last night and it was spot on. Staff are always friendly, quiz night&#39;s a laugh. Food&#39;s generally reliable, just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price.

The sharing platter was huge, definitely enough for four. I liked that you could see the fresh ingredients &ndash; the avocado was perfectly ripe, and the grilled vegetables had a nice char. A bit heavy on the oil for my taste, but the quality was clear.

The octopus was cooked perfectly, a real treat. The house wine was a nice match. Gets a bit loud later on, but that&#39;s the vibe.

Nice quiet spot for a quick lunch. Got the chicken wrap, came out fast which is key for me. Place is clean and modern, good for a solo bite. Wrap was decent, nothing crazy. Got me in and out in under 30 mins.

Lovely independent music venue. The bar staff were super friendly, and service was quick. Good selection of drinks to choose from. A nice, relaxed spot to catch some live music.

The vegetarian options here are impressive. I had the mushroom risotto, and the wine list had a nice pairing suggestion that worked well. Prices are decent for a station spot.

Been coming here for years. What keeps me coming back is the atmosphere - it&#39;s always cosy and feels genuine. Just a nice, relaxed place to have a meal.

Simple decor but the lighting&rsquo;s nice. Had a couple of their craft beers with the pizza - solid pairing. Just a reliable spot when you&rsquo;re around here.

The curry sauce is the real star here! We shared a few dishes between friends and the portions were huge, so it&#39;s great for a group. Just a heads up, it did take a little while for the food to come out.

First time here and the lamb ribs were so tender they fell right off the bone. Really enjoyed that.

Lots of pizza options. The one we got was pretty good, and the portion was decent for the price.

The decor here is really nice - a clean, cozy mix of Bangladeshi and Thai styles. It&#39;s a warm space, feels comfortable just to sit in for a while.

Staff were really nice about my vegan order. Double-checked the ingredients for me without me even asking. Made me feel looked after.

Been coming here for years. The curries are always spot on, flavour&#39;s really good. Portions are generous, never leave hungry. The naan is a highlight, fresh and fluffy. Solid local spot.

The wings were really good, crispy with a nice kick. The price felt fair for what you get. I liked that the seating was comfortable, not too cramped. It made for a relaxed meal.

Pizza was tasty, service was quick. I liked watching them make it fresh in the open kitchen. Good spot for a casual bite.

The set menu was a good value. Tried a few interesting dishes I wouldn&#39;t have picked myself.

The steak was incredible, but what really stood out was their wine list - perfectly paired with the meal. The tiramisu is a must.

Been here a few times now. The sea bass is always a solid choice &ndash; cooked just right, skin crispy. Staff are friendly without being over the top. A reliable spot.

Popped in for a pint and ended up staying for dinner. The garden is massive and they brought our food right to the table. Got pretty packed later on, but the vibe was good.

Been coming here for years. The parking is always easy and close by, makes it a no-brainer for a relaxed dinner. That&#39;s one less thing to worry about.

The staff were so nice! They even got us some chips from the kitchen even though it wasn&#39;t on the menu. Made our catch-up feel really easy.

Lovely spot for a weekend breakfast. The fresh bread smelled incredible and the tea was just right. Very cozy atmosphere, felt really relaxed. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

Been coming here for years, and the portions are still huge. Always get the chicken tikka masala, and it&#39;s enough for two meals. Place is packed most nights, but that&#39;s part of the vibe.

The grilled fish here is the thing. Perfectly charred skin, flaky inside. The sushi rice is also spot on, vinegared just right. That&#39;s really all I look for.
