Prana Indian Restaurant – Cambridge (UK)

Prana Indian Restaurant, located in the very heart of Mill Road at the corner of Gwydir Street, is one of my favourite Cambridge restaurants. My husband Paulo and I have been regular customers for almost 10 years now, since its relaunch after an extensive refurbishment. Prana’s elegant yet relaxed ambience, coupled with a delicious menu, means it always merits a return visit.

Paulo and I recently had a discussion about what to order at our favourite restaurants. Do you stick to your tried-and-true dishes, or order something new? At Prana, whilst we have tried and enjoyed many of their dishes, our go-to order goes something like this:

Accompaniments:
Papadums with chutney selection tray.

Appetisers:
Onion Bhajee (they’re huge!) and Alvi’s Specials (delicately spiced succulent chicken that has been skewered and grilled).

Prana – Cambridge (UK)

This year Prana will be celebrating their 14th anniversary – 8 of those years in their extensively refurbished space (with more changes to come). This upscale yet informal Indian restaurant in the heart of Mill Road has come a long way since its beginnings as a tiny takeway, even winning a slew of prestigious awards.

It’s no secret Paulo and I have been regular customers for many years as the food is always flavoursome and prepared with quality ingredients. Prana continue to use their own spice blends rather than curry powder – the results are clean, vibrant flavours that are a delight to the taste buds. We have our tried-and-true favourites but also look forward to trying more dishes on the menu, which has been streamlined over the years to simplify the previously overwhelming choices.
