Peking - Speisekarte

Great, authentic Chinese restaurantHave been eating at Peking restaurant many times over the years, even when they were in the centre of Cambridge.

While hunting for flats in Cambridge, I was told by a kind London girl, who was also hunting for flats in Cambridge, "ooh, you should try to look in the

A really great meal! The dishes were all freshly made and tasted fabulous. We would share some dishes when we go again though as we couldn’t eat it all. Speisekarte ansehen

Takeaway food was generally poor and very expensive £50 for 2 main dishes and a side). The aubergine side dish was reasonable. But the beef was tough and of low quality. The pork dish had not much tough meat and a lot of tofu.

Food was burnt and soooo salty, service slow and so overpriced. For the cost it would have been nice for them to shred the duck rather than dump I quarter duck on the table and walk off. Picture is of a schezwan chicken burnt and what can only be described as a plate of cashews and chilli!

Went with a colleague and the food was good. The staff were nice and friendly. Most of the business seems to be take-away but it is possible to eat in which we did. The only down side is that they only take cash and you cannot use a credit card. However, there is a cash machine in the Co-op nearby. Speisekarte ansehen

A very quiet, gem of place hidden at the back of Homerton street. We only came to know this place when we started living in the flats nearby. Does excellent Chinese/Chinese fusion. The Chef who owns the place take pride in his cooking and always use high quality ingredients (especially meat). Dishes are a bit a pricey but the portions are bit and worth it. The Cumin Lamb is a thing of beauty and nearly converted my vegetarian wife to a non vegetarian. The fried dumpling served with chilli paste is also excellent.

My experience of Chinese restaurants to date has put them into 2 categories: 1. Bog standard 'British Chinese ' cuisine pretty similar wherever you go 2. Upmarket places which do something different fusion, for example The Peking Restaurant has now given me a third category. The meals on offer are the same dishes as we 're accustomed to, but they are clearly home made and very well home made at that. This place is a real gem. The service was awesome. There was a delay with our mains and the waiter insisted on giving us a free round of drinks. I tried to pay for them but he wouldn 't have it. The Peking Restaurant feels utterly genuine. I can recommend it without reservation.

Came with a large group of friends. The chef suggested that we simply state our preferred price range and he would just bring us an assortment of dishes, but he seemed to be offended by the fact we were only looking to spend around £15 each. No problem, we'd just order from the menu. Glasses for water came out but half of them were unwashed to the point of being visibly brown. My bowl also had a healthy layer of brown crust on it. It was at least 45 minutes until the first dish arrived. To be fair, the food was fairly tasty if rather salty and portions were fairly large (a group of 4 could probably split 3 main dishes) but I've had better takeaways for half the price. The meat was clearly ch... Speisekarte ansehen
