Cocum - Carta

I have lived in Cambridge for about ten days, and have eaten at this restaurant twice.

We are great fans of food here. Whenever we miss our home, will order food and enjoy it.delicious....

The chicken tikka masala was excellent as was the veggie biryaniThe prices and portions were decent as well. Ver carta

Really enjoyed our evening out here...the food was top class. We didn’t have to wait long..it came out hot and delicious. Every dish had a unique flavour. We asked for specials and recommendations and nothing was disappointing. Would love to come back! Soon!

Spotted this on Trip Advisor as a good place for dinner while visiting old friend in Cambridge. We weren’t disappointed. Magnificent masala dosa and selection of eclectic and very tasty vegetable dishes beetroot and aubergine plus a delicious slow cooked lamb dish ‘Erachi Ularthiyathu’ which I’ve never seen anywhere else. If I lived in Cambridge this would be my regular.

The service was efficient but unobtrusive and friendly. We had poppadoms and pickles, then I had the battered mushroom starter, my husband had the saag paneer, both of which were delicious, I had the chicken tikka for my main course, it came sizzling as it should, with onions and peppers, there was lots of tender, tasty chicken, my husband had the chicken Calicut, we shared a mushroom rice and bread and there was more than enough. I can’t wait yo go back to Cambridge just so that I can eat there again! Ver carta

Absolutely disgusted to have been given chicken, after specifically advising whole party is vegetarian. One of the small chutneys/dishes that was brought out with the poppadums contained chicken. Staff members came over to us part way through eating to advise it had chicken and to take it away. This was too late for some of our party, who had eaten some and who were deeply upset by this mistake. One small dessert offering was not sufficient as an apology. That’s now a few families that will not eat in your restaurant again. Hugely disappointed

There is not much to say about this restaurant other than the homemade signature curry was absolutely divine and that the service and the hospitality of our host was unmatched by any other curry house. The signature curry (the nadan curry) was absolutely delicious and I would recommend the garlic naan to go with it. The poppadoms and the rice, as well as the sheek kebab, were both delicious and the chicken sauce the poppadoms were served with was to die for. Our host was so friendly and talkative, while also managing huge numbers of orders from locals who frequent the restaurant. I could not recommend this restaurant more highly for anyone who wants a genuine, authentic, Cambridge curry expe...

Many moons back, my Indian wife and I were havering about buying a house on the Cambridge hill, waked down for a meal at what was then Cocum, subsequently Nivedyam and now Pakka and the quality of the meal led us to set up home nearby! I should explain that I am a Professor of English Literature and Religious Studies, and my wife, one of my first research students in Cambridge, comes from a centuries old Brahmin family of Hindu saints and scholarly pundits. Hence, when we have visitors from our Indian family or academic guests from the world over to entertain, it is vital to take them to a restaurant that represents the best of Indian (and, in particular,of Kerala cuisine. So we keep a close... Ver carta
