The Open Guide to Cambridge

Lebanese restaurant on Hills Road, near the station. It's next door to Le Gros Franck, and it's where the Station Tandoori used to be. It opened in 2008-ish.

There's an open kitchen along one side as you go in, with a grill station including the usual rotating kebab meats and a fryer for falafel etc. There are seats for around 18 or so people on the ground floor (an ornate wrought-iron staircase leads down from here, but I'm not sure if there's more seating down there or not)

On Kake's September 2010 visit, the falafel (£3.50) photo were fried fresh and weren't dry at all; the texture was a little smoother than I like, but this is a matter of taste rather than a real criticism. Moutabal (smoked aubergine purée; £4.50) photo had an apparent smoky flavour and was decorated with sprinkled sumac. The accompanying flatbread came from a packet, and was OK.

They don't sell alcohol, but are happy for you to bring your own and don't charge corkage.

Not sure of opening hours, but it was open on a Tuesday lunchtime in September 2010, and closed on a Saturday lunchtime in the same month.

Accessibility: Large step up to get in.
