The Rice Boat in Cambridge

Absolutely delicious food - best Indian we have had outside India. So authentic. Try as much as you can from the menu and definitely the vada!

Was recommended by an Indian friend. Really good and authentic dosa, and surprisingly good homemade ice-cream (way better then a dessert place I visited recently). The kerala chicken curry is also a must-try if you like spicy southern Indian curryThe service was also surprisingly good for a restaurant: the waitress was a little shy but checked on us from time to time, and Rita was really warm and thoughtful about waiting times and gathering feedback about the meal

We visited again after 5 years away and the food has remained as incredible as it was then. A lovely family run restaurant, the food is authentic Kerala cuisine. We had the appams with moilee and kingfish curry, rounded off with some lovely home made ice cream. Definitely recommend someone looking for an authentic regional Indian cuisine and a must visit if you are in Cambridge.

Superb! The lighting is a touch too bright for my liking but everything else (on this occasion red king fish curry & lamb/potato curry) was exceptionally good. We'll be back.

We had an amazing evening at Rice boat where we had gone with our friends. Easily the best expression of South Indian (Kerala) cuisine in UK by far ! Jacob was brilliant at conjuring magic with his signature twist to several Indian dishes and Rita was a exceptional host ! The ambience is also very homely and distinctly different from conventional Indian restaurants in UK. The go to place if you are in Cambridge and if you crave for authentic Indian/Kerala cuisine.

Me and my friends have dined here many times and we have also celebrated my mum's birthday here. The food is always exceptional and the service is top-notch.

Just had a truly great meal here. This was authentic Indian food cooked freshly to order, the owners and chefs were extremely friendly and the waitress, though rather quiet and shy was very sweet and helpful. The food was the best we have ever had from an Indian and the pistachio ice cream was amazing (and home made). Could not fault The Rice Boat in any way... we will be returning

The food and service were both absolutely amazing. The staff were kind, welcoming and accommodating. It seemed like care was put into everything, from every delicious dish we ordered (quite a few) to the lovely little bunches of flowers on each table. Couldn't recommend it more and definitely coming back

An amazing place. Good service, splendid food and a homely atmosphere.

Excellent restaurant ! Fast service and great food. I've tried several dishes, last ones being vada, prawns in mango (excellent with coconut rice) and the lamb with parotta. The pistachio dessert is a delicatessen too (recommended to have it with the dessert wine). All in all one of my favourite places in Cambridge (celebrate my anniversary here every year).
