561-563 Lincoln Rd, Peterborough PE1 2PB, United Kingdom
Modern Eastern European Restaurant based in Peterborough.
I recently dined at [Kaimas] with high hopes, but the entire experience was a major letdown from start to finish. To start, we ordered a beer and some fried bread to enjoy while waiting for our main course. Shockingly, the bread didn’t arrive until after we’d already finished our beer. After waiting a full hour for our main course, the waitress came over to inform us that they’d run out of one of the dishes we ordered. She suggested an alternative, but when the food finally arrived, it was awful—and greasy poorly cooked, and not at all worth the wait. One of the chairs was broken, which made the seating uncomfortable. The staff were not only inattentive but also rude, responding to our questions with a dismissive attitude. One last tip: make sure to bring cash because they don’t accept card payments. Wonder why lol Overall, the bad service, poor food quality, and lack of basic amenities left a bad taste. Not sure if we will be coming back.
Mediocre service, they forgot our appetizers and brought an incorrect main... Waiting time with pretty much an empty restaurant was way too long so I had to have food I didn't order as I could not wait another hour for them to fix the mistake. Awful disco music completely does not fit the restaurant interior. Also no card payment which should be mentioned while taking the order. Big portions and tasty food in general.
We had a wedding lunch at Kaimas and I was glad that I chose this restaurant. It sits 46 people on the first floor. The food is good as always and the portions were massive, so some people took take away boxes for later. We booked food in advance so we had to wait for 30 minutes to be served, which isn't bad considering its for 46 people. I highly recommend Kaimas. Great food. Great service. Worth every penny.
It was my second time here, but not the last. 👍🏼 Lovely and delicious food, great atmosphere.
Plate is big enough but quality is not as expected. I chose Beef Stroganoff as all grill meats were not available on the day. The stroganoff more was with white meat which is not enjoyable for me. The betroot salad taste was so boring. Atmopshere was nice!
The location is rough but the food and service is completely worth it. We had fantastic meals here today. We came with friends from Germany and our kids and we all were overblown by the incredible service. The portions are enormous and very cheap. The quality was amazing and it tasted fantastic. Would definitely go again.
This restaurant is fantastic. The rustic, honey interior is reminiscent of a small cottage kitchen. The food and staff are just as welcoming and wonderful. The beer is nice as well. We shared the fried bread with cheese, which is such a lovely, delicious dish and quite filling. We only tasted our entrees and had to take the remainder home. This was a bonus because these made for tasty leftovers for lunch the next day. The restaurant can accommodate larger groups but is also quaint and a nice place for a couple. Kaimas is kid-friendly as well and has an adorable play area in the downstairs of the restaurant. We can't wait to go back. If in Peterborough, this is a great place to eat or have a beer.
One more time come and visit this place, and one more time was pleased with everything from start to finish.. Will recommend this place for you to come and visit if you want good quality food and drinks and for good fair price too. Portions are huge, drinks and food selection are big. Just have to have cash with you. Will come back for sure! Greetings to lovely staff too! 🤓👍🇱🇹
Wait a long time for food, the food is terrible for yourself, they only accept cash, the contingent is poor.
It really reminded me of my native Lithuania I recommend visiting, the only thing missing was a smile on the face of the bartender But it appeared when saying goodbye, it gives a better vibe and atmosphere, I hope you dont lose it
Perfect
nice Lithuania tradition food
Best restaurant in Peterborough :)
In the hole. It used to be good, but now its terrible.
Yummy food quick food lots to order and very cheap
I went here twice - food is exceptionally delicious and authentic. Prices are excellent and the staff are very friendly and accomdating. I really recommend this to everyone.
Food is not so good how 2 years ago. Not recomended.
Everything was great and delicious . ONE THING WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE PAYING. THEY CHARGED ME £16 EXTRA. LUCKY I HAD LITHUANIAN LADY WITH ME AND WENT GOT MONEY BACK. OTHERWISE EVERYTHING WAS VERY GOOD.
Good service and big portions
Wonderful staff great choice of food and drinks. delicious
Food great like always, big porsions, excellent
Good food at good prices.

Cepelins are not cooked (grated), the size does not mean quality. Why make them this size if you dont boil them and you have to leave the grated pieces on the plate?! The fried bread is drowned in sury, which has no sury taste at all, more like sour cream, and we also left almost the whole plate because it didnt taste good! You can put the cheese in a separate container and not drown the fried bread in it. The interior is beautiful, the guy serving us was polite and helpful, but in the courtyard, some inappropriate persons were asking people for money or food, and no one from the staff tried to ask them or even responded to it, until the people themselves wrote to write them off. I dont recommend it.
Food was not the best and waitresses were rude and pathetically arrogant.
Very nice authentic Lithuanian meals. Great friendly & polite staff. Located within a nicely decorated (again authentic) Lithuanian design. This is in a quiet part of town with available parking nearby. Also note, this place is kid friendly, family friendly.
I love it The Food Tastes really good
Nice, traditional Lithuanian cuisine and great service! The best Lithuanian restaurant in the whole UK.
At least one hour wait for food.
Good
Loved it
Delicious, pleasant service.
Have been here a couple of times, food had been great most times.The service however is shocking, waiting time on food is over an hour, have visited on weekdays also has been around the same time. Drinks came fast. The waitress either forgot to take a note of our starter order or just forgot to bring it out. No communication with waitress and the table, that the food is taking longer than expected. The restaurant was busy, but not packed. Very dissatisfied as we waited for the food for around 1:15 mins and had the food is around 15 mins and left. Wasn t asked once if the food is okay, otherwise would ve mentioned something. Sitting upstairs in the heat is dreadful, if you can be seated downstairs as it s much better air flow.
When we came we had to wait a longer while to be seated, my husband went to get a waiter, otherwise we would stand there forever. A blonde lady serviced our table, she was quite nice that s why I gave two stars. In other case would be one or ether zero. We placed an order and got drinks quite quick, but were waiting for food nearly 1,5 hour! I wanted to leave, honestly. Its ridiculous as we ordered simple margarita pizza, and two mains (chicken and potatoes). I ordered a puree but got roasted potatoes. My first thought was ok, I won t be complaining because it s gonna take additional time. But potatoes tasted very bad, like burned, old oil. The waiter asked if all good with food- then I mentioned about mistake in order and got puree quite quick. But this was nothing like puree- potatoes blended with water (imagine consistency) without any salt, completely tasteless. I left leaving full plates, consumed only veggies from the salad. Apart from that pizza was okay , grandmother schnitzel as well. My husband told waiter about food but they did not even consider to compensate. Regretting now that didnt took any pictures! Waste of money and time- AVOID!
We have been waiting for our pancake for a long time.
Brilliant food selection at this tiny out of the way location. Came for lunch and was particularly impressed by the Grandmothers Pasta, which I recommend. Good food, great prices: what is there not to love?
Its delicious. The portion of the zeppelin is not working
The best place in Peterborough food always fresh and nice. 20 stars is not enough Food
Best of the best
Best restaurant in town !
Amazing restaurant!
Excellent restaurant in all respects: tasty and high-quality food, pleasant service, cozy environment! We always stop by when we come from Lithuania. We recommend!
Delicious food, nice atmosphere and fantastic staff. Difficult to find parking space Saturday afternoon, but in general fabulous place to have a food.
One of the best restaurants of Lithuanian cuisine. Cozy atmosphere, homemade food - what could be better!
Pretty much every dish is swimming in the oil. Not the same how it was. Salad for 14£, same pork dishes are 14£.. Waiter was polite tho.
Lovely place
Nice food and drink for all family. Very nice personal and staff. Briliant service. Very nice place inside and outside. 1 off the best restaurant in Peterborough...
There was no music
Very tasty , big portions ! Lovely place.
The food was excellent. I highly recommend the chicken with shrimp in sauce - it was delicious. The service was pleasant, and there was plenty of free space despite it being a Bank Holiday. There was a minor misunderstanding with our order; the waiter, attempting to be accommodating, served us in Polish, which may have led to the mix-up. However, full credit to the restaurant, we were not charged for the dish that was not in line with our order. We will 100% go back there again and again. The only minus is payment - only in cash, but there is a cashmachine right next door so....
Very nice and good restaurant
Awesome....clean .friendly...quiet...very good service... a nice place for trying different great beer on location
Very large (cosmic portions) Delicious food A place where the whole family can come

Food, atmosphere and staff ways on spot!
Super big portions and very good prices.so tasty and authentic. Staff very friendly
Food was not to bad. Cepelinai was perfect and very nice. But burger was dry bread was burned, chicken saslikas was dry and burned. We ordered karka 2 portions after 30 minutes coming and saying that have just one portion remaining. When I called to them to book appointment for us I asked or I can order cepelinai take away they say that I cant preorder early, but today when I asked 5 cepelinai to get take away they didnt had. So experience didnt was very nice. We dont come back in this place. Parking: In that area no parking at all, just Sunday. Wheelchair accessibility: Not comfortable with wheelchair dont have for that comfortable table.
Excellent place for the Lithuanian food
My wife is Lithuanian and me I like the cuisine but after we booked a table a week early the restaurant didnt have many dishes we requested. The place do not have car parking and the restaurant accept only cash to pay, no friendly no courtesy no confort and not all food you wish ( we are a family of 6 people) . No anymore
**CASH ONLY** We went for dinner, the dumplings are massive! I d recommend going for the half portion as then you will get one very large dumpling, which is very filling. Whilst we were there, there was a singer who was great! Lots of dancing and the atmosphere was wonderful. Would definitely come again.
All good
amazing food, big portions at reasonable prices
I wanted to buy a main meal and a pancake dessert, but waitress warned me that portions are big and I am glad I trusted her because dessert would have gone to waste. I will come again to try another dishes.
Very nice and tasty food
I always visit this restaurant when I come to Peterborough. Because I know that I will always leave full and satisfied. The food here is very tasty and the portions are not small. The waiters are very nice. I will definitely go there again. Vegetarian options: There are many food options besides meat, pancakes, fish, salads and more.
Very tasty, thank you

Absolutely delicious old school LTU food with generous portions. Rare find these days. Truly a fun cultural experience.Guys just please dont change!
Food and atmosphere was great! But the wait for food was 1 hour!
Thank you Kaimas for delicious food, massive portions and accepting us without reservation. Definitely will be back!
Very nice
Just stopped for dinner on the way from London to Sheffield, great atmosphere, good food, very friendly staff
Oue Lithuanian friend told us about this place and we went to give that a go. The food is amazing! It is a heavy as most of the option are fried and with lots of sour cream etc but it was just amazing! Tasty, very well cooked and the meat was nice and juicy. It is also one of the very few places that adds proper amount of dressing in the salad. Not too much not too less. Just the perfect ratio. I cant recommend this place enough and we are definitely going back again and again as it worths every single penny we paid. Well done!
The best Lithuanian food restaurant in the UK. From one serving, the whole family can eat. One of the best places to try Lithuanian dishes and more. Enormous portions, taste amazing, great atmosphere to. Couldnt recommend this place to everyone even more...
Great food and service. Very good price for the quality of the food
Normalninko. Serviss good. Upuscenija shto tolko za kesh

Quiet nice place To eat food. Just awaiting time for your order could be shorter. Food
Hello, we visited your restaurant with our family on Saturday 09.09, we had a fantastic time and had a delicious lunch. The children were satisfied with the food, which is really rare these days, a big THANK YOU to the kitchen for the perfect food, the team was fun, we got the drinks and the food very quickly, and it was beautifully presented. Separately, we want to thank the dark-haired maid for her good mood, pleasant communication and good experience!! Everything about the food was explained and offered in detail, the children could even spend the whole day with you, because the waitress devoted a lot of time to our children, the time was perfectly spent, thank you again! We will definitely come back :)))
My family and I came to you from Birmengen on the recommendations of friends. The food was very tasty, they warned us that we would have to wait a while for the food, the staff was amazing!
We had a wonderful evening, the food was delicious and the portions were huge. I really liked the bread for appetizer and the staff was wonderful The girl who recommended all the dishes to us, thank you again
Sorry to say but my food was disaster . I was ordering schnitzel and they bring me one piece of burnt bread.
Lovely food
I recommend visiting. Very delicious food!
The food is delicious
Nice atmosphere, excellent food, great service
What an incredible dining experience friendly staff great atmosphere and such big portions. It really is a fabulous place to eat if youre looking to try new foods. Kid-friendliness: Theres a special kids menu, and there were several families with kids. Theres even a play area.
Great place great service and food are brilliant, portions are huge compared to price, deffinetly recommend Dietary restrictions: Service staff are really friendly and you always can ask about any of dishes and they will answer Wheelchair accessibility: There is no stairs coming to restaurant, everyone can wheelin
Food tastes great and portions are massive. Well worth the visit. Only downside is cash only payments
Proper food. Big portions. After eating at this restaurant youll need a wheel chair to get you out of there and a nap afterwards.
Super food, you cant find better food around, the prices are also not terrible, Im always satisfied, the atmosphere is also good
Very tasty food nice portions
Looks like understanding about dealing with customers = zero. Asking online for meniu, as no website at all. Answer. Go and find in FB. We are fully booked this year and maybe next year(funny), and it is your choice where you want to go restaurant doesnt care. Actually I am looking for a place to celebrate birthday. To lose a customer, the same like p...s on 2 fingers. But find new... much longer way. I think inside restaurant dealing the same way, like online.
Beautiful food and people
Very nice place to have Lithuanian national dishes and more. Great customer service. Highly recommended.
We always come to kaimas as the food is really good and service is usually ok. The front of staff on 21/12 around 13:00 she was rude from the moment we entered blaming it on the massive table that they was preparing for. Genuinely unwelcoming and snapping her fingers for us to get up and get the menu from her. Even more so when she came to take our order. Completely arrogant and rude. I ve never experienced terrible service like this before. We immediately left before she could continue to take our order. Shame as this used to be our favourite restaurant!
