Restaurant Name: Jamuna
Town: Birchgrove, Cardiff
Date Visited: August 2009
Location
On the main road from Cardiff to Caerphilly, near Birchgrove pub. Parking tricky at times.
Ambience
Décor somewhat like a transport café, with no tablecloths. Lack of cleaniness in some places. Door to toilets open for all to see from nearby tables. Generally poor hygiene in the gents’ toilet.
Service
Very polite waiters and quick service but poor presentation at table.
Menu Choice
A reasonable choice of chef’s specialties together with the standard Indian dishes. A range of prawn and vegetable options.
Food Quality
Puppadoms slightly old and sweaty. Good rice (plain and pulao) ,fluffy, if a little tepid. The sauces of the main dishes were lacking in depth and tangy taste. The chicken, particularly, was very chewy.
Value for Money
Average.
Overall Rating
1/5 – disappointing. The food was adequate, but the surroundings, presentation and questionable cleanliness standards let this rsetaurant down badly.
