    Absolutely incredible Through my whole stay in the UK I’ve never enjoyed such an experience when it comes to dinner. This authentic North African restaurant just hits all the bills Great place, great decorations, amazing friendly staff and Saharan experience. We have tried their appetizers dish which is basically a platter of dips (Spicy Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, beans with herbs, beetroot and salad with an addition to chicken stuffed sambousa topped by powdered sugar and almonds which is a pleasure to your taste buds. The main courses I have ordered were Hunny Glazed Half chicken (very sweet and Highly recommended), and the Beldi tajin which is my favorite, it comes with generous portion of Couscous, mix them together and here you go 💥 💥💥 We ended it by ordering a Moroccan mint tea which is exactly what you need after a heavy and delicious meals

    Great and hearty food. Brought my parents to see the place I live, and they love this restaurant. We ordered grilled aubergine and humus (w/ lamb) for starters, and they had chicken and roasted veggie for mains (mine was seafood tajine, the cauliflower rice was surprisingly delicious!) - all was wonderful. The pomegranate seeds in the food were a highlight. The dessert cocktail was nice, too, sweet and smooth!

    We really loved our meal. I wasn’t sure what to order, but the staff is very willing to help. Everything was fresh and the flavours were wonderful. The api pastry made with chicken, turmeric and almonds was fantastic. The eggplant with goat cheese another favourite at our table.

    We visited this place with friend, not sure what to order as we it was first time in North African restaurant but staff were very kind enough to help us and we picked some awesome cuisines. It’s bit pricy but it made us almost full. Ambience is nice, we had a lovely night👍🏻

    What an authentic experience from the point we entered into the restaurant till we left. It's an Algerian restaurant located on the Mill road. What makes it unique is its interior and food. Ceiling is covered with tribal clothes, wall is decorated with painting of camels and Arabic culture. They got a wide variety of foods from starter till dessert. The most popular and delicious main dish is Lamb meatballs. Note: They don't serve any alcohol and don't allow consumption inside. Overall it's a great restaurant. The only negative point is that it's a bit congested. All tables are quite close to each other.

    After making the journey from London specifically to dine at this restaurant, we were eager to experience the praised cuisine and ambiance. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by a gentleman who appeared to be the manager (Algerian) instantly making us feel welcomed . The cozy atmosphere added to the warmth of the experience. As we embarked on our culinary journey through North Africa, each dish, from the BASTILLA DJEDJ to the CREVETTES MCHERMLA and the BETENJAL BEL TAHINA, was freshly prepared, impeccably seasoned, and utterly delightful. The TAGINE BERKOOK, TAGINE ZAYTOUN, and couscous further impressed with their flavors. Concluding our meal with delectable desserts and refreshing mint tea was the perfect finale. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience, and the journey from London is certainly worthwhile. Massive Well Done Everyone!

    First time try North Africa food. I feel like similar with Mediterranean food. Lamb is really soft and tender. The taste is good. For drink mock tails, I don’t fancy with it.

    Visited Cambridge this weekend, pre booked Bedouin, really liked the look of the menu! It didn’t disappoint! We had the sharing starter, which was delicious! Then I had the fish tagine, my partner had the lamb tagine, both with cous cous! We also ordered chips (which weren’t the best) and olives, we quickly realised we didn’t need that much food! Very filling and delicious!

    Was really intrigued by how many people dine here in the evenings, decided to try this place out. Was instantly greeted by a pleasant young waiter who offered us a table, and a plate of delicious (although quite spicy) pickled veggies. The atmosphere of the place is exquisite, with ornaments, and authentic safari rifles hanging on the walls. Music is stylish, rustic, with a little bit of everything. Food tastes like home I never knew I had. I've been to three restaurants so far in Cambridge. By far, this one deserves all the reviews it gets!

    First taste of Algerian cuisine. Was not disappointed. Loved the interior deco which added to the experience. If your around the area highly recommend a visit. Parking was the only issue but if you look at side roads you can find a spot. Recommend to book a table if you plan to come during peak times

    Very nice restaurant. Has northern African food. Food is very nice, great selection of meats including lamb, beef and chicken. Some meals take hours to cook so it's a good idea to contact on advance if you are looking for a specific plate. Great decoration inside, resembles a tent in the Sahara Desert. Good pricing.

    I arrived just before 3pm when the kitchen was closing. However I was warmly welcomed in and seated. The food; lamb tagine was incredible as was the ginger spiced cocktail (no alcohol served here). The owner was chatty and welcoming despite end of service and waiting to clear down. I guarantee this place is worth a visit! Can't wait to return with the rest of the family!

    Absolutely delighted with my second visit to Bedouin restaurant! The culinary experience was exceptional, with dishes like Tagine Kefte and Flose Msella showcasing unique and delightful flavors. The Beklava for dessert was the perfect sweet finale. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making it a highly recommended dining spot for anyone seeking North African cuisine excellence. Can't wait for my next visit!

    The BEST food I've tried in a while! Went here on our visit to Cambridge and my partner as I have never tried north African food before. We only got two mains and hummus as a side as we weren't too hungry but the food was just fantastic and their portions were big. Although it's been a few weeks since my visit, I still dream about the food! I would go back in a heartbeat if ever in Cambridge again.

    Amazing food and great atmosphere. Staff are very welcoming. If you’re a fan of North African food, this is the place to go in Cambridge. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Soheyla 1 year ago on Google
    We (group of four) went here for lunch and we LOVED our food. The combo starter dish was just amazing. Fish, chicken and lamb dishes were perfectly cooked with fabolous sauces. Must try!❤️

  • 5/5 Apostolia V. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is amazing ! The food is delicious and the place is traditional and so cozy. You should order to drink 'tzatziki' cocktail, which is so fresh ! We really enjoy our visit ! Hope to have the chance to visit it again !

  • 5/5 Charlotte O. 7 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    The food is incredible. Service was a little slow but to be expected as it was very busy. Definitely recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment. We didn’t book and ended up waiting an hour, on a Wednesday evening. It is alcohol free but the alcohol free cocktails were amazing and there was an extensive drink selection.

  • 5/5 Olivia G. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely LOVED this little gem. Was definitely unsure if there would be anything for pescatarians but I was so wrong, couldn't decide for ages but settled on a seafood tagine with cous cous and tagine bread, hummus for starter and delicious baklava for dessert. Outstanding food, great service and the interior was so well done, very traditional and cosy. Parking as in most parts of Cambridge is a nightmare but worth it for this Moroccan cuisine!

  • 5/5 Aurelie D. 1 year ago on Google
    We have enjoyed such a fantastic meal here today.We were wamly welcomed . The service was efficient . Absolutely amazing authentic food and beautifully presented . The range of dishes to choose from was very good and fairly priced. The decor is magnificent.

  • 5/5 RH 9 months ago on Google
    A fun atmosphere with very good North African food. We started with a platter of dips which were fresh and flavorful. For our mains we shared a beautiful lentil stew with carrots, celery and potatoes served with a side of warm bread. Perfect. We also had chicken with homemade tahini and green beans. The seasame flavors burst through. A terrific dish. The final main we shared was a beautiful lamb shank tagine with couscous, carrots, potatoes and chickpeas. Perfect. The drinks, especially the sour cherry soda was spot on. Highly recommended.

    When you enter the Bedouin you immediately get the feeling that you are in a tent in the desert! Surreal! The food is really good and prices are reasonable. Recommend to try the brick pastry 🤩

  • 5/5 Nadim J. 11 months ago on Google
    Spectacular food, lovely service, a wide variety of dishes to choose from and a warm and welcoming atmosphere, not to mention it was incredibly reasonably priced. This place slaps. The chicken bastillas were truly delicious - a, to me, novel take on sweet and savoury that hit just right. I could have eaten an ungodly amount of them, were I not already sated by all the other rich and flavourful dishes. Will definitely aim to come back next time I'm in Cambridge!

  • 5/5 A F. 1 year ago on Google
    A very atmospheric experience that has some great food and good service. I think the main thing on show here is the experience and atmosphere. It really feels like stepping into a tent. It gives the restaurant a very authentic feel. The food was excellent depending on the order. The tagine was excellent. Full of flavour and very tender meat. The other vegetarian meal was slightly bland. Starters were both fantastic!

  • 5/5 James M. 2 years ago on Google
    Tagine is amazing. I thought it was a bit odd that they don't do alcohol, but who cares when the food is so good! Love the decor inside; it really feels like a unique experience. Both of us agree it was the best restaurant we visited in 2021!

  • 5/5 Amit N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food. Really enjoyed the starters, main course and drinks. Unfortunately, we were too full to try the desserts. The ladies serving us were amazing and very welcoming. Great place and we'll definitely visit again.
