    Dining at Navadanya is always a special experience. The best Indian food in Cambridge, without a doubt.

    Finely chopped seafood, possibly crab or shrimp, topped with toasted nuts and surrounded by a citrus-infused yellow sauce, garnished with microgreens.
    Tender lamb in a rich dark sauce, served with creamy potato puree and garnished with microgreens.

    Had the 7 course tasting menu.......food and service was excellent throughout. Highly recommend.

    Three scoops of sorbet in raspberry, mango, and coconut flavors, garnished with fresh mint for a light and fruity dessert.
    A layered dish of toasted bread and mixed greens, topped with a creamy sauce and colorful diced vegetables or herbs, offering a fresh and hearty flavor profile.
    Chocolate fondant with a molten center, served alongside creamy pistachio ice cream, crushed pistachios, and a crumbly base for added texture.
    Tender meatballs in a rich, spiced sauce, served with fluffy saffron or turmeric rice and a creamy coconut-based shrimp curry.

    I haven’t been back for a few years, just by circumstance. Better than ever! Fantastic food, we chose starters, main and desert (tough, as lovely varied menu) and didn’t regret a single mouthful.

    Grilled octopus with a smoky flavor, served with pickled beet slices, fresh cherry tomatoes, and garnished with microgreens for a balanced texture and flavor.
    Golden-brown fritters with a crispy exterior and soft interior, topped with fresh herbs, served with a smooth green herb sauce.

    Good Food and Loved the dessert. Malai chicken, Peshawari Naan were delicious. Mutton Briyani wasn’t that great. Loved the meal and will try another special occasion.

    This is our third visit to have the 7 course tasting menu for a special occasion. The food is excellent, everything that you put in your mouth is a flavour sensation. The amuse bouche were standout as was the scallop and the monkfish. When the desert arrived we were already full but after one mouthful of the coconut panna cotta we succumbed-sublime! If you are thinking of going, book it, you won’t be disappointed.

    Spiced lentil or chickpea patties garnished with fresh herbs, served with cucumber slices and fig halves for a sweet contrast.
    An artistic dessert featuring a glossy orange sphere, a filled green pear-shaped element, a dark chocolate or berry mound, and a creamy rectangular panna cotta or mousse, garnished with red sauce dots and a sweet glaze.
    Crispy fried calamari garnished with fresh herbs and lime, served with a tangy dipping sauce and a cherry tomato.

    I've eaten here before but it was a much quieter service...........I had to remind them about an order twice. Also, it was waaaau too warm inside with heater AND so many people! I tried different à la carte dishes this time - shame I couldn't do the tasting menu solo - and the soft shell crab or the lal mirch ka paneer were standouts paired with Indian Shiraz!

    We’ve eaten at Navadhanya at least half a dozen times and whilst it’s hard to put your finger on anything in particular it wasn’t quite up to the usual excellent standard for either the food or service. Maybe it was just the very low quality Christmas decorations that dragged the whole vibe down?

    A covered white dish on a dark wooden table, suggesting an elegant meal presentation in a sophisticated setting.
    A delicate cup of herb or vegetable puree topped with a crispy puff, accompanied by a mini tart shell filled with creamy cheese or custard and garnished with herbs, alongside crispy chips for added texture.
    Savory pie or casserole with a flaky herb-topped crust, accompanied by vibrant red sauce, creamy yogurt-based sauce, slices of red onion, and soft naan or flatbread.

    The food and service was amazing. Restaurant looks good.

    Food was well prepared. The service was on the weak side. No recommendations were provided. No special dishes on the menu had been suggested. Just the blind stare. Waiting staff was mild mannered I thought. Food was priced well for the quality. I am questioning the Michelin. Good restaurant but in my opinion not the Michelin quality.

    A covered dish under a cloche, accompanied by a glass of red wine, suggests a fine dining experience with an inviting ambiance.
    A light green soufflé with microgreens, baked pumpkin drizzled with dark sauce and herbs, and creamy pasta with edible flowers and black truffle.
    Creamy yogurt base topped with a bright yellow quenelle, crumbled nuts or cookies, slices of red fruit, and an edible flower for garnish.
    Finely diced seafood mix of shrimp and scallops, garnished with microgreens and a decorative sauce, served on a smooth puree, likely avocado.

    We love the tasting menu here. the variety of food with subtle differences in flavours.

    Citrus-flavored mousse in a bright yellow hue, topped with glossy orange dots, served on a crumbly base, garnished with a fresh raspberry and an edible flower.
    Grilled cauliflower steaks topped with a creamy sauce, accompanied by pickled radishes, green herb oil, and raspberry puree, garnished with microgreens for a fresh and colorful presentation.

    I loved the restaurant! It’s my most favourite restaurant in Cambridge. Beautifully served, extremely delicious food for very affordable price. Everything was served fast, we interacted with very polite staff and the table was cleaned immediately. I would say it is must visit!

    This is a nice restaurant with a nice ambiance and friendly staff. The menu is good and a little different to many similar restaurants. I had the lamb shank. It was well cooked but the sauce was too salty for me.

    Really one of the best Indian meals we've ever had, and we've had hundreds over the years. Good flavours, no grease, some novel options and a great ambience. Well worth a visit.

    Service was excellent, friendly and professional. It was our curiosity about the menu, where most of the starters and mains are unique to the restaurant, that made us want to try it and I am so glad we did. Four of us made completely different choices and all dishes were deliciously spiced and perfectly cooked. I can't wait to go back

    Food was alright, far too salty and lacking other flavors. Service was less than professional.
