"Cute restaurant serving Asian fusion food. Atmosphere and service were 10/10. baos: I wasn't blown away by the soft shell crab to be honest wouldn't order again, I'm not a fan of wasabi tho and it comes with some kind of wasabi mayo. The chicken one was slightly better, mainly due to the absence of wasabi. Sticky aubergine: good and very sweet, I'd recommend getting a rice bowl. They were quite good (eaten with the rice) perhaps my fave dish. Chicken wings: very crispy, a bit oily but overall I liked them Rice cake with spicy tuna: good dish, again not a fan of spicy mayo or fried rice cubes but they were super crispy and it was a good combo I guess just not for me. Korean octopus: it's just octopus with a dipping sauce! Good combo. Prawn and scallop dumpling: I was quite disappointed by this dish the skin of the dumpling was a bit dry and the filling a bit bland in the end. Perhaps it's because I had them after all the spicy mayo, wasabi mayo etc etc but I wanted to love them and just couldn't! Tha cassava cake with ice cream was nice, never had something similar before and I enjoyed it. Overall I asn't too impressed with the food. I'm tired of having mayo literally everywhere, there's mayos with siracha sauce, or with wasabi, or with something else but it's always mayo. Perhaps Asian fusion and its abuse of mayo just are't my vibe anymore Having said that, food quality was great, the presentation was also very nice and there was a good atmosphere."

"My partner and I got married in Cambridge and decided to have a late lunch early dinner with our family and friends and the Galleria Restaurant in Cambridge. The restaurant had sentimental value to us as when we were studying at Cambridge, we used to visit the restaurant for their steak sandwiches (sadly no longer on the menu, but we hope they will be back one day! . It was our dream to host a wedding dinner at Galleria and Aamir and his team were incredibly cooperative. We worked together to choose a menu and drinks and agreed an exclusivity deal on the restaurant so that we could have the space to ourselves, which made it extra special! Luckily the weather was beautiful so we started off with some drinks outside as people mingled and then we made our way inside for a wonderful three course dinner. Everything was delicious and Aamir and his team took extra care of the elderly, children and those with any special dietary requirements. In addition to the incredible food, all of it was served beautifully! His team even made a special portion of bread without nuts for our young cousin and a halal version of the lamb for our families. We were quite specific with our timings as we had to get back to London the same evening (it was a Sunday! and the team were very punctual and made sure we had a quick service, but also allowed time for speeches too! We would recommend Galleria to anyone wanting to have a gourmet, but reasonably priced lunch dinner in Cambridge and especially to those looking for somewhere to host an event you will not be disappointed! We hope to be back soon, even if just for a quick drink on the terrace; the views of the River Cam and ambience cannot be beaten!"

"For my main course, I had the Rump Steak, which was cooked rare as per the butcher's recommendation on the menu. This was truly the best steak I can recall. It had an incredible smokiness, as if it had been grilled over coal. I suspect they use a grill capable of reaching very high temperatures, providing a steak that's far superior to anything cooked at home. It was served with hearty chunky chips, a few sautéed green beans, some unsweetened arugula, and watercress, accompanied by a delicious herb butter. I didn't taste my companion's hake fillet dish, but it looked wonderful. It featured crispy skin and a lemon-butter emulsion with fresh mint, along with pan-roasted cucumber. For dessert, I ordered the dark chocolate fondant, which was beautifully executed with a gooey center. It was topped with a crispy mix of nuts and crushed pralines, adding a delightful crunch. My companion had the crème brûlée with fresh berries. The rich custard was sprinkled with some celestial flakes beneath the caramel top, which was caramelized to a rather dark shade. Personally, I prefer the complexity of a dark caramel that possesses a slightly bitter edge. We enjoyed a bottle of rosé Grenache, which was excellent and fruity. I also ordered a glass of the house red to accompany my steak. We took advantage of some discounts at the beginning, but at full price, our meal including service would have totaled £97—and it was worth every penny. Don’t forget to check out the stylish restrooms, complete with artistic cork designs that align with the overall theme."
