Visited Las Iguanas for a spot of lunch with a friend after a lovely walk down by the river. Perfect location to stop and have lunch. We were greeted with a smile as soon as we got in, seated at a nice window seat. It was fairly quiet when we arrived, but soon filled up. Our order was taken promptly and the drinks and starters arrived quickly. I had calamares which was delicious, and the had fajitas for main and wow! It was presented amazingly, and the taste was divine. The chicken was tender and the flavours where amazing.
We ate off the 2 for £16 menu, which gave plenty of choice and good value for money.

Will be returning with a group of us for bottomless brunch in couple months. Highly recommend this place. Wait times when busy can be a bit longer. Perfect for catching up with friends.

We joined a boat tour with the Cambridge Punt Company, and our guide Jack recommended this restaurant to us. Since we took their tour, we received a 40% discount on our meal, which was amazing!
Our server, Lay, was absolutely wonderful – very friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about her job. She made our experience even better with her warm smile and great service.
The cocktail I had was delicious, and the deal of two cocktails for £13 was fantastic. We absolutely loved the calamari and king prawns — both were perfectly cooked and full of flavour.
Dining by the riverside under candlelight was such a magical experience.
Huge thanks to the Las Iguanas team for a truly lovely evening!

Had a great meal out with friends, arrived early and were seated straight away. A few things missing from the menu but the alternatives were very tasty. As requested we were given a pause between courses which is always nice. The staff were great help, Lay was tops with a nice friendly smile and took the time to guide us through the menu and options. To top it all she even helped us with our discount voucher options, so a massive thanks as not the cheapest night out. The robot servers are a bit futuristic.

Two of us went here for a meal out and had a really nice experience. The food, ambience and the person who served us were nice. Chips could have been better, otherwise all in all a pleasant experience. Thank you.

The view from the window was, unfortunately, the only thing worth a compliment. The drinks we ordered tasted as if they’d been introduced to water a little too warmly — essentially, watered down beyond recognition! I’d specifically asked for no ice and ordered an Espresso Martini expecting freshly brewed coffee and a smooth, room‑temperature kick. Instead, I got confusion, blank smiles, and zero explanation.
The children’s orders came from the kids’ menu, but after tasting our drinks, none of us felt brave enough to order anything else. We later discovered, only after leaving, that kids actually eat for free — a fact the staff somehow managed to keep to themselves with admirable secrecy.
And the toilets? Two floors up and what felt like three postcodes away — practically a mini‑adventure through the building next door.

I had such a lovely experience at Las Iguanas recently! The food was absolutely delicious – full of flavour, beautifully presented, and served nice and hot. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the evening.

A special thank you to our waitress, Lay, who truly made our visit extra special. She was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

Highly recommend!

Over looking the river, you get to watch people punt if you like. Food comes via robot delivery, assisted by friendly helpful staff. slightly cute. Got all sharing stuff that was great to fill us both up. Nice cold beer and 241 cocktails .

Visited this place today. It was a wonderful ambiance next to the punting river. Coming to the service it was unsatisfactory because we had to wait for two hours after ordering the food even the food got cold by the time it came to the table. Completely a disappointment with the service. The waiter asked us to sit at the bar place as it was full in the restaurant. But observing into the restaurant they did have place to sit well I was not sure why they had to say so. It had no cutlery and we had to eat with hands because the waiter was not attentive. Completely it was a disappointment. Hope this review helps for improvement.

0 Star Review – Absolutely Appalling Experience at Las Iguanas Cambridge

I visited Las Iguanas Cambridge with my husband, and this was hands down one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. The young male waiter who served us was the most rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional waiter we have ever encountered. His behaviour throughout the meal was shocking and completely unacceptable.

We ordered Loaded Nachos, Patatas Bravas, and Honey Halloumi for starters. While I still had two nachos left on my plate and was mid-conversation with my husband, this waiter abruptly came over and snatched my plate away without asking if I had finished. He then stood beside our table holding the plates he had taken, waiting for us to finish the remaining few pieces of Patatas Bravas — an incredibly rude and uncomfortable gesture.

When our mains arrived (two vegetarian enchiladas), the experience only worsened. The food had an unpleasant smell and taste that made it inedible. I took a single forkful and couldn’t continue. My husband tried to eat his portion and thought he could mask the taste with the beans but only managed two or three forkfuls before he also found it unbearable.

When the same waiter came to ask how everything was, we explained our concern politely. He brought us a menu to order something else, but by that point, the poor taste and overall experience had completely ruined our appetite, so we asked for the bill instead.

To our surprise, the bill included both enchiladas, even though we had barely eaten them and clearly raised a genuine concern. When I questioned this, the waiter dismissively replied:

“You still ate it, so you have to pay. That’s how it works.”

This response was utterly unprofessional and disrespectful. After we challenged him further, he reluctantly went to speak to someone and returned with a slightly adjusted bill, removing only one enchilada. The entire interaction reflected a complete lack of customer service, accountability, or basic respect.

I am now attaching a video of our food, which clearly shows how little was eaten. The first enchilada in the video is from my plate, which I had barely touched. The second plate belongs to my husband, who had eaten only two or three forkfuls, exactly as mentioned above.

This experience was disgraceful from start to finish — poor food quality, atrocious service, and a dismissive attitude towards customers. Las Iguanas Cambridge has lost our trust completely.

I would strongly advise everyone to avoid this branch if you expect even the slightest level of professionalism, courtesy, or respect.
