This Cardiff gem has won both loyal patrons and first-time visitors alike with its delightful cuisine and warm atmosphere. Many diners commend the flavorful dishes, especially the vegetarian options, and praise the attentive and friendly staff, making each meal a memorable one. However, recent experiences reveal inconsistencies, particularly with takeaway quality, where some have found the food bland and lacking in spices. Despite this, the restaurant continues to charm with its inviting vibe and reasonable prices, solidifying its reputation as one of the premier Indian dining destinations in the city. A must-visit for curry enthusiasts!.

The food was fantastic! I had the best tandoori chicken I've ever had at a typical Indian restaurant. However, the naan and rice were a bit soggy on the side.
