Everything we had on the menu was so good. The mixed meat dish was a must! The chicken wings and kabobs were tandoori flavoured with the right level of spiciness.

It also looks nothing like the pictures on TripAdvisor. It is unhygienic and the staff prepares food without gloves. Terrible and a waste of time.

It was really windy and cold outside but there is a heater over every seat, blankets and the owner lowered cloth panels that shielded the wind. We stayed for almost 4 hours and started off with a tropical fruit bowl (pineapple) with guava Shisha. It was our first time with a fruit bowl and it was really good! We took a short break to run across the street to get food to bring back and moved to a watermelon bowl. All in all the experience cost £40 which is such a great price for a great establishment!

So it was worth the wait. We didn't have a reservation but as soon as we spotted eggplant appetizer…read morebeing served to nearby table we thought it might be a promising place. While we waited the staff were courteous to give us olives as a starter on a small plate. We were promptly shown to table for two. The menu features, skewers, shawarma plates (bread sandwiches with various meat), main course and desserts. Our choice was mix of skewer lambs, marinated lamb chops and chicken cubes. As a side you get a choice of rice or chips. The appetizer was accompanied by a basket of bread to dip in eggplant with olives. The main course though...! It was just delicious! Hands down, from now on my favorite restaurant in Cambridge. The interior is modern, staff courteous, prompt meaning enough people employed to make sure you're well taken care of. The ladies' room was clean and neat (yes, bathrooms matter). The check was followed by complimentary baklava which melted in our mouth.

0 stars! Went to…read moreRakkas to celebrate my brothers birthday in June 2023. After eating at the restaurant 3/5 of us had symptoms of diarrhoea and vomiting including my brother. 1/5 had diarrhoea and upset stomach. On the day, the lamb chops had no flavour and I had to spit out a piece of meat I had in my mouth as it was really hard to chew. The prawns also did not seem to taste quite right. I am not one to complain so just paid the bill in full and left. I had eaten at the restaurant before going to celebrate my brothers birthday and had no issues, the food was also really nice which is why I decided to book here again to celebrate my brothers birthday. I contacted the restaurant the following day (17th June 2023) to inform them of myself and other celebrants becoming ill following eating in the restaurant, and have since contacted them on 8 separate occasions in addition to going to the restaurant in person for a response. I spoke with a man on 23rd June who said he was a manager in the restaurant, he said the email and receipt had gone to the directors and I should receive a response by 27th June latest. He also said that noone else had made a complaint about the food on the day our celebrants were at the restaurant. This was accusatory, as if I have fabricated 4 out of the 5 of us being ill the day after eating at the restaurant on the 16th June 2023. I am still yet to receive a reply. Aesthetically, the restaurant is nice but the food was tasteless and the company/directors have no values, ethos or care for their customers. My experience with Rakkas has been really awful and personally I will not use or recommend it to others again!!

I'm a big fan of the Turkish breakfast item called Menemen (tomatoes, scrambled eggs, peppers and…read moreonion) and they do this beautifully here. But that's not the only thing that's noteworthy about this place - I really enjoyed the Wan breakfast, which consists of various cheeses, spreads, sweet condiments, fried egg and plenty of warm pita bread. In fact, my friend - with whom I came to this place - had originally come to this place because he saw on their menu that they serve this special breakfast and apparently it's not easy to find it here in London. (He's Turkish by origin and always on the lookout for things that remind him of home.) Insider tips for eating the Wan breakfast: - generously spread the white/soft cheese (upper right bowl on my picture) on some pita bread and top it of with honey...heavenly! - put a slice of the feta cheese (lower right bowl on my image) on a piece of bread and top it off with a slice of tomato; - I liked to combine the olive mash (mid-left bowl) with the crumbled cheese (upper left); - dip your bread in tahini and pekmez and just enjoy; Also, I highly recommend coming here with at least two people and then order one Wan breakfast and one Menemen...that, combined with loads of cups of tea, will leep you busy for a while! Although, I haven't tried their lunch or dinner menu, I trust that it's equally good too.
