Ahar Bangladeshi Take-away, Mill Road

This is a new curry take-away that opened this week. I tried the chicken shakoota last night and am pleased to say it was fantastic. Delicately spiced, and cooked to perfection, and reasonably priced to boot. The Bengal paratha was very nice too: light and tasty. They did forget to give me my pilau rice (opening week jitters I guess) but I called up, explained and they sent a guy around with a portion and a couple of complimentary poppadoms. The rice was gorgeous. Light, moist, wonderful taste so well worth the wait. I hope they keep up the good work when word gets out and trade increases. For now, whilst they are relatively underused and overstaffed, I can say this is the best curry I’ve had in Cambridge so far. No doubt the Rice Boat would give them a run for their money on the quality stakes, but you get a decent meal for less than a tenner from Ahar and that’s great value for money.

    Hello! Thank you for adding this to the Open Guide to Cambridge. I don’t suppose you have the address/phone number for this place? Or possibly even a streetmap link?

    Ahar restaurant is becoming very popular, the staff is really nise espacially the chef called Kahn. I will say Kahn cooks really tasty dishes and without him i think Ahar will go down dramaticlly. I would highly recommend Ahar and i say the food is lovely.

    A suspicious man would think that was a self-recommendation!
