falafel kebab is really delicious and perfect after a night

omnivores and vegans, had it never? get it. it seems so wrong, but it tastes so right. updated by the previous review on 2020-03-17

Really great, filling meals in the centre of Cambridge. I usually take away as the seating area upstairs isn’t great, but sitting outside Kings College with a pita and chips is lovely. I’m a regular visitor at 3am as well as more socially acceptable dinner times! Ver carta

very nice eating, the workers put all passion and effort into the food they serve. simply the best place to go in cambridge for kebabs. they also know in the night the customers are drunk, it never hears the workers of all there striving in the food. cheers young

the gardenia is my regular lunch place, as it's just next door where I work. the workers there are very nice and helpful and would even be working to adapt my nutritional needs. great eating, brilliant service, good value for money and beautiful view on rose crescent, highly recommended.

this is a great place to go if you want to eat a nice delicious lunch as they have eaten in Greece! only a tiny place, but this is part of the charm. very cheap and can thoroughly recommend the Greek sausage! the service is also very friendly, and it is convenient right in the center of cambridge, a few minutes to foot from the market.

I went here after work one day for something quick and simple. I ordered the small falafel with salad. There was seating upstairs and although it was cosy it was really fine. The small was actually really big and the salad offering was really fantastic and varied, had all the traditional kebab shop salad style things including pickled chilies which were really yummy.

the best chips, wow! very affordable and has such a good atmosphere. the seat in the upper floor is so sweet. I have tried both the dolma (damped wee leaves) and falafel kebabs and both were great, I would certainly recommend the dolma! be they very explicit about their veganism in ordering when they make up for it, I had never had any problem! plus, the staff always give me extra paved green chilis when I am for them alone, I will love this place forever.

This place is a bit of an institution in Cambridge. Situated at the heart of the old town, folklore has it that the university tried to close it down but the students managed to get them to overturn their decision. Surrounded by high profit-margin chains and exclusive boutiques, I could believe it. You can actually get *good* chips for less than two quid, which is a small miracle in itself. They will do you a chip butty (pita filled with chips and a good dollop of hummus on top) for not much more. It must be the student influence, but they do mention vegan options on the chalk board outside, and they do at least appear to know what a vegan is, which I'm always so grateful for! If you want to... Ver carta
