Golpo is a dream born out of a shared love for modern Bengal cuisine between two friends on a short trip to Bangladesh. They already owned other Indian restaurants in Cambridge. While sipping chai in Bangladesh, they envisioned bringing the authentic taste of Bengal to Cambridge, and this sparked Golpo's journey. Their mission is to offer an unforgettable culinary experience by honouring Bengal's traditional methods and flavours. Food, for us, is more than nourishment; it's soul-nourishing. Through Golpo, we aim to take you on a special journey to the heart of Bengal. Our menu is carefully crafted with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients to capture the true essence of each dish.
Fantastic restaurant, delicious food, and really attentive staff. Highly recommend the beef ribs, and smashed pale ale! Will definitely visit again.
Went out for dinner here today and everything about it was amazing from the staff to the food! The staff made sure everything was all good and was very quick with their service. The place was so nice as you got the feel of Bangladesh from the decor and music! Definitely would visit again!!
Lovely restaurant and service! Mahesh was great - he recommended delicious dishes and told us about the story behind the restaurant. Great food and big portions. Overall, very good value for money and clean and pleasant atmosphere!
Lovely new authentic Bengal dishes. Refreshing, different. Wonderful service, really helpful genuine service. Golpo Platter excellent. Great non-alcoholic drinks. Bring your own bottle too! Thank you team, wishing you great success.
This place is sooo good — comparable to Dishoom quality. Probably even better because of the great value. Staff were lovely, and we were so pleased with their dish recommendations. Must visit in Cambridge! Will need to come back to try their dinner menu.
Food is amazing here! The service is excellent, would definitely come back again for more!! We ordered the lamb curry, vegetarian dumplings, beef grill and cauliflower! Had a great time and atmosphere is very nice too!
Had a great meal here with the family. Their menu was very creative with the right amount of dishes on there. It's perfect for those who are avoiding alcohol as there isn't any but their drinks menu is still very exciting!
we have been coming for many times! Amazing food and great staff. Tried spinach mutton curry and fish this time and being surprised by the taste and quality. Mango lassi is the one you must try in the end. Will come soon!
It s very nice test and nice restaurant
Good food. Staff friendly and helpful. Enjoyable evening.
It has been a while since Ive enjoyed an Indian meal this good. Really nice staff. Take own booze is a bonus. Shame it was only partially full, but I think the atmosphere would have been better when full. Nice clean restaurant and toilets. This will be my place to go when in Cambridge.
Homely. Delicious. Authentic. Friendly service with a smile. Will definitely be back! Really rare to see lauki Dal at a restaurant. They really made it well.
Total waste, the food is below standard for the price they are charging.Naan was not at all fresh(looks like they got it from supermarket).They charged me Service charge which I politely asked to remove but they denied saying its compulsory.Very low standard food for extremely high prices.
Really lovely dining experience. Interiors are super and food was great!! Full alcohol free drinks and they were delicious, would definitely recommend. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options for mains and starters
Vegetarian options: Great food Food
A wonderful find! Beautiful food amazing flavours.
I love everything!! The food is delicious, everyone is nice and friendly and lovely relaxing atmosphere.
Lamb chops were good quality. Beef rib was exceptional but service was slow
The food was absolutely lovely: especially the Butter Naan. The dry-bar has some excellent cocktails, which paired really well with the food. During our meal, the service was great, but after the plates were cleared we felt slightly overlooked. We would have loved to try the desserts but unfortunately were not offered a menu from which to order any. Will definitely visit again, as the overall experience was still lovely. Would also like to try their takeaway options. Vegetarian options: There is a clear vegetarian regional curries section and other vegetarian options are dotted throughout the menu. They are not clearly labelled but they are definitely there!
Great food for a reasonable price. No alcohol, but an amazing list of mocktails and alcohol free beer and wine. I had 3 mocktails and they were very good. I believe you can bring your own alcohol for a modest corkage.
Absolutely knockout. Extraordinary food and service!
Service very good only marked down because we asked to have small and big plates together and they wouldn t allow that. Small plates were good, big plates delicious but a lot of sauce and not much meat for the price. No allergens on their menu is a big issue. Very quiet considering but the fact they don t serve alcohol probably explains s that. Dietary restrictions: No allergens on menu
The food was incredible! It s a Cambridge gem
Delicious food and a very nice service. Give it a try when in Cambridge. Vegetarian options: I took a combination of curry, some lentil balls in a nice sauce, with rice and typical Indian bread that I love. Everything, mildly spicy, was incredibly delicious!
Amazing restaurant with a great menu.
We were a large group of around 20 people having dinner. The food was excellent, the service impeccable and everyone agreed that this was a lovely restaurant. The place is spacious and modern with lovely decor. We were served the party menu - a banquet style menu to share. The food was delicious with lots of variety and unusual flavours. BYO alcohol worked well for everyone and the restaurant were very accommodating for a couple of our group with complex diets. Thank you for a great evening!
Tasty food, very friendly and welcoming staff. Would recommend.
Amazing food and service!
Doi Murgi is probably the best curry Ive ever had

Star of the night Chicken Breyani! Wonderful service, great atmosphere.
The high rating is absolutely justified... The food is really authentic... basically no alcohol is served... (Not a bad thing with such a delicious mango lassi.) We were offered to bring our own wine. Some people did that too... And all with very good service...thank you
Delicious chicken tikka wrap!!
Amazing food and great customer service, this is the second time we have been back and its been soo good. Thank you!

We enjoyed the authentic Bengali flavours at Golpo, enhanced by perfectly charming service.
Delicious. Second time in a visit to Cambridge. First time they accommodated a big table for my nephew s graduation and today a romantic (and delicious) tête à tête with my husband. Thank you!
Unbelievable Jeff
Great meal and great knowledge of food very nice
Friendly staff, delicious food, generous portions.
Delicious food and the staff are super friendly

Absolutely top rate food! Definitely not your standard curry restaurant. Cant recommend the Choti highly enough. Vegetarian options: Great choice for the vegetarian.
Food was really good! And loved the Gulab Jamon for dessert! Will come back to try more things - potenially with a bigger group.
Food is good. Not great samosa have good taste. Staff is very friendly Parking is difficult Food : 3/5
I recently dined at Golpo Bengal Café & Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The garlic naan was soft and perfectly infused with garlic, while the Paneer Saagwala offered a harmonious blend of spices and a delightful aroma. The restaurants commitment to authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients is evident in every bite. The ambiance is inviting, and the staff are attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Golpo for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience
Really good food and great service too. Definitely recommend the Chana chaat and the Kosha Mangsho. BYOB with £1 corkage pp
This place has authentic Bengali food and they actually serve mutton instead of lamb! Can t believe I had such a good mutton curry in the UK!
Very nice restaurant, stylish decor. Good vegetarian options and friendly staff. Will plan to return to try their biriani!
Excellent food, fresh ingredients freshly prepared, good menu of well-chosen dishes. Hearty portions, served with pride in super surroundings with a great vibe!
Absolutely fantastic evening!. A dinner with my friend, we ordered 3 course meal which was delicious, excellent and knowledgeable service, super clean bathrooms and overall pleasant atmosphere. Definitely I recommend to visit - it would be an enjoyable experience.
Doi Murgi was delicious and great to be able to order non-alcoholic wine. Only small criticism is that the Bhoot (fried cauliflower) was too spicy.
We had a great time at Golpo Bengal, we got talking to them and order 5 entrees, then 4 mains to share between 6 people.
Lunchtime - fantastic food Dietary restrictions: All GF Food : 5/5 |
Fantastic dinner, the lamb curry is impressive. Mahesh is very kind and friendly and introduces a lot about the dishes origin.
Thoroughly enjoyed every dish! And of course the mango lassi complimented the food well... Plus, lovely setting/relaxed atmosphere
Stumbled on this restaurant by chance. Food was really tasty. Reminded me of my uncle s cooking. Would definitely go here again on our next visit to Cambridge.
A very lovely and welcoming place with good foods and nice and polite staff ..I really enjoyed my time there with my dad and aunt
Lovely early evening meal. Great service and delicious menu. Grateful for the recommendations. Really brilliant food with a very comfortable atmosphere. Great no alcohol drinks selection too.
Fantastic food. We all ordered different dishes and every single one of them was 10/10. The service was great; staff were friendly and the prices are very reasonable for this kind of quality.
Lovely place, excellent biryani!
Amazing food and service ! We enjoyed all the food we ordered and all staff were helpful and friendly.
Everything we ordered was unreal! Best curry I ve ever had. We will definitely be back!
Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Beautiful food and the most attentive staff. Can t recommend this place enough and look forward to our next visit!
Very good service and tasty menu
What and incredible dining experience, fresh, tasty and well looked after. We had a variety of dishes, all beautifully presented. The service was attentive without being intrusive and the price was just right. Highly recommended
Had a lovely lunch here, a wide variety of different choices of food and wonderful drinks and a nice atmosphere. All staff members were attentive and kind too
Very good authentic Bengali food.
Absolutely loved this Indian - beautiful decor, helpful and patient waitresses, delicious food- love trying a new curry house, with different menu to our local ones, really spicy ! Everyone enjoyed - this won t disappoint!
Excellent food, very accomodating staff, friendly restaurant manager. I would highly recommend it as it caters to all tastes (spicy and non spicy)
Lovely service and delicious food. Thank you for your recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening
great food, great vibe and everything is halal. Also Mohesh was amazing who kept checking on us
Very nice people and very delicious dinner. It was great. Light spicy vegetables, nice rice and a delicious Butter Chicken in light spicy sauce. :-)))
Simply the best food and restaurant in Cambridge. 10 out of 10.
We ordered the poppadums with chutney, garlic chilli chicken, and butter chicken, and I honestly cant praise the quality and flavours enough. The garlic chilli chicken was a standout, bursting with spice and depth, while the butter chicken was rich and creamy. The poppadums and chutney made for a perfect start to the meal. Weve tried several dishes here, and our top favourites remain the garlic chilli chicken, the coconut curry, and of course, the poppadums and naan. Highly recommended!
The restaurant were so welcoming of our family and our baby too. Food was delicious and service very friendly and helpful.
The food was amazing and the staff was super helpful and nice. The spiciness range is wide, so either if you like spicy food or not, theres something for you for sure!
Amazing food , host Mr. Mahesh treated us really well 5 starssss Vegetarian options: Amazing Food : 5/5 |
Real genuine superb food, with top service
Amazing Bengali food! Definitely try it
Tasty food, really nice service and great vibe
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with me as a coeliac (glutenfree diet) but also made my curry little milder as I am not good with spice. Lovely meals with great flavour, really beautiful restaurant and busy atmosphere. Will be coming again! Dietary restrictions: Very knowledgeable about their menu for gluten free people.
Great range of dishes and deals, very generous portions and tasty food!
I enjoyed the food It was amazing And their behaviour so friendly Vegetarian options: Good
Great food, very good attentive service, crowded, defenitly worth coming back
Excellent food and friendly service - it s BYOB but they have a wide selection of non-alcoholic cocktails/beers/wines. Some of the hot dishes do run pretty hot, but they have plenty of raita or yogurt if you ask! Availability has always been good, so have had no issue with walk-ins. Music was glitching slightly when we were there last, but otherwise the place is well-presented and very tidy with attentive staff.
Excellent food and very friendly staff. Nice and friendly atmosphere.
Lovely food, very friendly and welcoming staff, reasonably priced, and a very clean and sleek restaurant. I would definitely recommend coming here for flavourful, Asian food if youre in town!
Amazing BYOB restaurant, lovely staff, and the sag paneer was the best I ve ever had
Great food and nice staff
First class
My Wife and I had a Wonderful experience Eating here I would Highly Recommend the Staff were very friendly and Welcoming Vegetarian options: Have to look at the menu
Love this restaurant, delicious dhal and paneer dish is also a favourite.
Great food. Highly recommend. Staff were attentive and friendly.
Really loved the vibes, especially the staff whom were very welcoming and friendly. Me and the whole family enjoyed the meals, the biryani (lamb/chicken) were very tender. My favourite starter was the chana chaat Dietary restrictions: Fully Halal Menu!
We came to this place because reviews were extraordinary, but actually it is an average place. There is nothing special. The food was ok, the service was fine. There is no atmosphere. Do not understand how this place got a 4,9 score on google reviews.
Great food , one of the best Indian food restaurants
Amazing food and excellent service! Simply fantastic!
Me, my mum and my sister went to Golpo and the food is amazing. While were waiting for the food we have time to Golpo. The inside is fancy. Food : 5/5
Fabulous food and service. Thank you
Golpo has been our go to Indian restaurant in Cambridge. Best service and food so far. They made us feel very special by doing gulab jamun on house for our Diwali celebration

The service was really amazing! Thank you for delicious food!
Indian food with a western twist. Great service and value. Really enjoyed our meal. Thanks
Best service ever received. Highly recommended. We popped in for chai and snacks and were amazed by the kindness of the owner. We had chai, pakoras, samosa chaat, chips and chana chat. The quality of the food was extremely high.
Excellent Bengali Curries!
Really lovely. Friendly staff, attentive and delicious food. Authentic Bengali. We will be. Am
Loved it! Food really fresh and delicious
A great place to eat and very tasty Vegetarian options: Great options, Food : 5/5 |
Everything I had here was perfect! It s my second time around and the food was amazing, the service was great as always. Will definitely come back here.
Best customer service and good manager with his dedicated staff, price is a rip off! £18 for a biryani which is not any special and £5 for a bottle water, no more comment because staffs are so good. Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating for our kids. Nice and friendly staff.
Great food.
We love Golpo! Food, service, atmosphere - everything is outstanding. Try the Biryani: it s delish.
Been twice. Delicious, flavoursome and fresh food. Beautiful presentation. Warm, friendly venue & staff. Super convenient for the station too
Great food, friendly staff :)
The food was great! I had a tilapia curry and the slight sourness of the sauce was refreshing. The waiters/waitresses were super friendly and we got some free chai to try as well!
Very good food and service, all very friendly
Lovely vegetarians dishes and friendly service.
So yummy!! Vegetarian options: So yummy! Food : 5/5 |

Gorgeous!
I had an amazing meal. The food was quite delicious and the customer service was incredibly great. Highly recommend !!
Great food and service. Had the Thali for lunch, as well as momos. All great.
Great service and delicious food
As an Italian I can say that the dishes were delicious, so many flavors that together were wonderful. Very kind and prepared staff. I recommend it
Amazing service, and Delicious food!! Special thanks to Karim
Very nice, food was nice the staff was amazing.
One of the most nicest resturants in Cambridge. The food was extremely delicious. Hoping to see more traditional Bengali/Syloti food at the resturant in the near future. Everyone needs to try the taste of Bangladesh.
Food was really great and I appreciate the Huge non alcoholic drink selection. Atmosphere perhaps could be nicer but we still had a nice time.
We had a wonderful evening at Golpo! The food was amazing and unusual. The aubergine masala just melted in the mouth! Karim was a wonderful host and we really enjoyed finding out more about Bengali cuisine, which is quite different from the usual English-style Indian food. Highly recommended!!
Wow! Absolutely delicious. I got the paneer saagwala, and it was magical; so much flavour. Will definitely be coming back.
Brilliant recent. Highly recommended
Just had an excellent mutton jalfrezi at Golpo that was both spicy and tasty. Haven t visited before, but will certainly return.
The atmosphere was pleasant and the service fantastic. The staff were certainly amazing. Sadly, the food was disappointing. Quantities were small, the tarka dal was bland and the slow cooked mutton delicious, but at £16.95, had too many bones and insufficient meat. However, I must add that the vegetable poriyal was absolutely delicious. I have been there previously with my 90 year old aunt. They were very considerate and opened the back door for her to have a shorter, step-free walk into the restaurant. They were kind to her and she really enjoyed her evening. I think their hospitality certainly enhances the experience and makes up for some inadequacies.
Excellent welcome, very friendly person. Excellent meal! If you are French, I recommend it because you are very well guided. Clean and nicely decorated!
Yesterday me my husband and friends dined at this restaurant, and I have to say, the food was absolutely delicious! Each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Thank you mahesh for recommending delicious food. The service was also top-notch attentive, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great dining Thank you all my sylheti sisters.
The food was very well presented and obviously made with care. I had the chicken Dhansak which was very tasty just the chicken was a little firm for my liking. Also had a slightly smokey taste which Im assuming because it may have been cooked with smoked paprika...
Seriously good food. Wonderful exciting flavors. Great service. Highly recommended. Dietary restrictions: Everything Halal. No alcohol.
We really enjoyed the yogurt chicken, and service was excellent. Would definitely recommend
Brilliant meal with superb staff, decor of venue is beautiful, thanks again!
Golpo serves tasty and authentic Bengali food! The appetisers are inspired by street food and prepare your palette for the mains - all of them are great. Highly recommend the biryani which was very fragrant and delicious, the meat and veggie curries were all prepared perfectly. The desserts were creative takes on classic sweets like gulab jamun and the floating cheesecake which we really enjoyed! The service and staff are very friendly and helpful! Thank you for a wonderful experience and we will surely be back! Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options including jackfruit, paneer, daal, and stir fries.
Lovely and attentive service, spotlessly clean, and the most delicious food. Special mention to the best garlic naan I ve ever had in my life! Highly recommended. We ll be back.
Great food and environment, really good restaurants
Enjoyed our lunch here , would come again for the evening menu as choice is limited before 5pm lovely flavours and hospitality too match .. recommend
Incredible meal, rezaul was a very attentive waiter too! Highly recommend!
Excellent food and service
Very nice experience, with great service.
The food was great, the staff was very friendly!! Great atmosphere!!The drinks even though non-alcoholic were very tasty!! Food
I had one of the most delicious food at this restaurant. The hospitality and ambience was really wonderful. I recommend everyone to visit if you happen to be in Cambridge. Cheers!
so nice restaurant with delicious food, especially the beef rib, so good
An amazing gastronomic delight. I am of Bangladeshi origin myself so the food has to be pretty special for me. I went with colleagues whos individual needs were tended to. The service, attentiveness, ambience, attention to detail was of a superior standard. The team are an awesome ensemble. Vegetarian options: very authentic and fresh
Very nice food. Definitely worth coming for the food. Ordered aged beef rib and slow cooked mutton both were superb.
Amazing food, great value for money and amazing service! Very nice ambience, very cozy. Definitely recommend this place to everyone.
The food was typical and the texture was overall quite dense, but the portion size was limited compared with the prices. The environment was good and clean. The service was too enthusiastic. The ordering process was misleading and unclear, however. The server did not confirm the order with me, and modified it and added dishes without letting me know. Some side dishes that I did not order were served and the flavor was not very great. The issue was reflected but not solved properly, making the experience unsatisfied.
Vegetarian options: Very good Food
Very nice Parking: Free parking after 5 Food : 5/5 |
Took a group of us here for my girlfriends birthday - it was an amazing spot. The food was excellent, the atmosphere great and the prices are reasonable - they even gave us a piece cake for her at the end of the evening which was a lovely touch. Will definitely be returning!
Worst food you ll get here . Specially the service is really bad , staff served us food with some object inside and even charged us double for the replacement. never go to this restaurant. Waste of time and waste of money
I recently dined at Golpo Bengal and I must say it was a huge letdown. The food quality was nowhere near what I expected, especially given the high prices and portions are very small One of the major disappointments was the bread. They didn t even have a proper naan bread maker on-site. Instead, they served us pre-packaged bread that seemed to come straight from a supermarket like Sainsbury s or Tesco, simply reheated before being served. For the price they charged, I expected fresh, authentic naan. It felt like a rip-off, and the overall experience left me regretting my visit. I wouldn t recommend this place if you re looking for quality and authenticity in your food. Definitely not worth the money.
The food was good and felt quite fresh. Staff was definitely caring and very friendly :) I would come back! Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian and vegan options. Although not marked on the menu, the staff will happily help you :)
Very good meals in an astonishing ambiente. The waiters are very friendly and offer help, recommendations and variations of meals and drinks on the menu.
Really tasty food, good service. Good atmosphere.
Great food, lovely team and atmosphere!
Great place to have a catch-up with some tasty street food. We had a selection of plates to share, and everything was wonderful. Especially liked the chicken wings, tender and packed a punch.
Very nice!
The beef short ribs was a must with every visit. Most beautiful pilau rice I have ever had. Vegetarian options: The jackfruit and lotus root korma was beautiful although we have decided it was too mild for us. Date naan is with date syrup, instead of actual dates. Dietary restrictions: Plenty of veggie and non-alcoholic drink options Parking: Free parking after 8pm on nearby streets
Extremely friendly staff and delicious food Vegetarian options: Not sure about this I had the non veg option but the veg options were there too! Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating for kids
Great authentic Bangladeshi food
Delicious food
Beautiful, traditional and world class restaurant. I will remember their hospitality. Lets say that my elder brother Shahidul Islam and Jamir brother are working here.
