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 curry

The 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

Went to Rice Boat for dinner with family. The place was packed and we soon found out why. The food was wonderfully delicious with real traditional taste of Kerala dishes. The portions were good and the service was friendly and courteous. Kudos to the chef for being able to maintain the traditional flavour and taste in his dishes.

Worst experience ever had, decided to dine in this place based on the reviews. However not just the food wasn’t okay but also poor experience from the staff. Indian porotta and appam wasn’t fully cooked and we got different curry rather than what we ordered even without asking us. The lady who took orders and prepared food (as she said) for us was even rude when tried to explain our food experience. She not even listen and said leave food if you don’t want! Never ever experienced such a behavior. I would never recommend this place to anyone

We stopped here for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious. If you want to try authentic home cooked Keralan food then you have to try this restaurant.

Hmmm 🤔 ever get that send that a restaurant just isn’t working right? Lots of people being turned away from a mostly empty restaurant at 6:30pm. Those already sitting there waiting and waiting…. The staff don’t really know what’s going on. Oh dear. Food was ok. Dosa was a bit thick and grainy, not light and crisp. Sambar was strangely tasteless. Chicken starter was nice 👌

Absolutely delicious Indian / Keralan restaurant in Cambridge! Super friendly family style service. The appam (rice bread) and dosa are top notch! Was here 15 years ago and it’s still the same delicious quality! Definitely worth a visit if you are in Cambridge!
