Certainly amongst the leading contenders from the ethnic section of the culinary community in Cambridge, an area in which there is rather less competition than might be expected. The customarily extended menu of dishes ranging from the exotic to the plain simple is always on offer and whilst this may be par for the course in most curry houses it still leaves room for wide variations in the way in which food actually appears on the plate. This is without doubt where Curry Queen has an advantage. Portions are also generous and service slick. Lager, that staple liquid fare which has enjoyed a long and not always happy relationship with curry fever, can also vary, but the German lager on offer at Curry Queen is universally popular, except possibly with the odd Australian undergraduate.
