"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!"

"My family had booked the conservatory area for my hen party. On the day, the owner phoned to check with us in the morning if the booking was fine it was. Then about before we are due to arrive, and my family have...arrived to decorate the room he tells us that we can no longer have it because it has already been booked. Even though we booked it weeks earlier and spoken about it on multiple occasions to check the details. To add insult to injury, the manager also tells us that we changed the date earlier in the week when no one did. Plus management called in the morning to confirm the booking. Then they refused to move the other people out saying it was a wedding occasion but when we arrived, it was clearly a birthday. Furthermore we were then placed in the main area, but my family had spent loads of effort and money on decorations which we simply could not put up. Had we known how shoddy this would be, we could have done it anywhere else. I had about guests some of whom had travelled hours and from many different areas in the country to be there, only to receive this awful experience. The management told us that no one else would be allowed in the main area to accommodate us, again you have guessed it. Yet another lie. About later the tables were full of people and they had clearly not done as promised. The service was also slow, and terrible. The owners of this establishment are awful people. If you have double booked, admit to it and offer a larger discount. Instead they just ruined what was supposed to be an amazing night full of memories through anger and inconvenience. We couldn’t do any of the games or the preparation we had planned. Worst experience with memories of India ever. Do not recommend this place ever."

"I absolutely adored this restaurant! It's a must-try, especially if you don't have access to authentic Szechuan cuisine where you live. It's definitely going on my list of places to revisit in London and to recommend to others. The atmosphere is charming and the service is good. It's a small venue, so it can feel a bit crowded. I suggest visiting during non-peak hours. Having a late lunch or early dinner at 2 or 3pm worked perfectly for us! We enjoyed everything we ordered, although we ended up ordering too much. You can easily share 4-5 appetizers or small meat dishes and still leave satisfied. The specials consist of large bowls of assorted meats, which are enough for a meal for two and are incredibly tasty. From the pork roll appetizer (thinly sliced carrots rolled in pork) to the smashed cucumber (a refreshing vegetable dish) to the spicy cold sliced beef with beef tongue, everything was delicious. The beef and onions were tender and flavorful, perfect for even the pickiest eaters. The special Mocai dish was served in a large bowl of spicy broth with fish balls, tripe, prawns, thinly sliced beef, luncheon pork, and more. I added pork intestine, but I would recommend getting it cooked in a dry wok for a crispy texture. The chicken feet were my least favorite, as they were a bit too sweet for my liking. Perhaps they could be ordered in a different sauce for a better balance of flavors."
