Tawa Kitchen

Head down Station Road towards Mill and you'll find yourself in one of Cambridge's most reliable Indian spots. The space is warm without trying too hard—the kind of place where families pile in on Friday nights and groups of students camp out with pitchers of lassi on weekday evenings. What matters is what comes out of the kitchen: tandoori dishes with actual char, biryanis that aren't just rice with food colouring, and proper paneer that tastes like it was made that morning. The prices won't leave you broke either, which is why people keep coming back.
