Location
Situated on the road to Llandaff Cathedral (turn off the A4119)
Ambience
Somewhat small and tables rather close together but pleasant atmosphere.
Service
We have visited this restaurant on a few occasions previously and have not been disappointed. On our review visit however the staff seemed quite detached and not particularly welcoming. Service speed was average. It was a moderately busy Friday evening
Menu Choice
Excellent choice to suit all tastes with some interesting and unusual chef’s specialties.
Food Quality
Again we were disappointed with this particular meal. The Prawn Balti lacked onions and peppers and was almost indistinguishable from a prawn curry. Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi did not live up to its usual chilli pepper strength. Real and delicious lime pickle though.
Value for Money
Prices average for Cardiff and therefore reasonable.
Overall Rating
No more than 3/5 for this visit, but we plan to return.
