Indian restaurant in Cardiff

“Excellent food and service. Feels like you are eating home cooked food away from home.”

“Excellent service and beautiful food. Very friendly, nothing was too much trouble I would definitely recommend Jafran Indian Takeaway.”

“Chicken Tikka Karahi was authentic. The chicken was well marinated meaning the flavours went inside the good quality meat and as a result it was very tender and moist. The spices were on point. The bindi was fresh and well cooked with onions, tomatoes and spices, so the vegetable was the right consistency, tender but not slimy. The rice was fluffy and delicate and the paratha mopped up the flavours. No alcohol which makes for a pleasant atmosphere although they will serve your own if you bring it, with no corkage charge. Highly recommend,”

“Amazing! Good price and very delicious food! My friend told me the seabass is the best in Cardiff, and she is right! So tasty. I strongly recommend it. The lemon mint drink is very refreshing. I love it too. The amount of food is so large that you may not be able to finish it yourself.”

“We have been going to the Shamrat now for over 10 years and it is by far the best. Do not let the area put you off!! The food is always amazing and the staff really make it even better. They will really look after you and meet any needs you have. We come here for any occasion and also often get a takeaway. Whenever eating in the take aways are constantly busy which shows really how good it is. They also do a Sunday buffet which is definitely great value for money!”

“Excellent! Picked up food from here last night and was very impressed, the service was excellent, with the staff being really friendly, polite and professional and the food was absolutely amazing... Easily one of the nicest Indian takeaways I've ever eaten! We'd originally tried to order with another Indian restaurant in the area and been told that they'd be over an hour wait, but these guys managed to get everything done in just over 20mins! Again, really good stuff, as the order was for a load of food (as we were having friends over), several mains, different rices and various sundries and they got it all spot on! Everyone was really impressed with what they'd eaten, there was a fair bit left and it was actually cheaper than the other restaurant anyway! I'm writing this review the following morning and the other thing I've noticed is that for the first time ever after eating Indian food, I've woken up not feeling really thirsty and without any stomach cramps! That might sound a bit weird, but this is something that always happens to me when I eat Indian cuisine and something I've come to expect, but strangely, not this time! I know this review goes on a bit, but I definitely think these guys deserve recognition for the great food and excellent service they provide and I'd definitely recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a good quality Indian takeaway! Edit: I've been here about a dozen times since first writing this review and it's still excellent. Well done guys, top quality food!”

“The best Indian food in town, and their loaded fries, best i have ever had. I eat here very often, service, quality of food excellent. I recommend this Indian food stall at the market to anyone. They are located upstairs in Cardiff market. Well done to them. See you again soon”

“Booked a table for 6 @ 7.30 and our table was ready. Drinks, Starters & Main Courses All turned up on time and were delicious. I’d particularly recommend the Lamb Bhuna which came with a particularly well marinated lamb shank. The staff were extremely helpful & attentive and the manager was friendly and knowledgeable. There’s a reason The Empire is still popular after 30 years. Lots of fun and Highly recommended.”

“Used to live in Llanhilleth 2012 Tamarind was our go to Indian. Since moving to Cardiff nothing has compared. Working in Abertillery yesterday I pulled by to pick up a cheeky curry on the way home. 13 years later, still the best curry house in south wales.”

“We ordered a large amount of food tonight and it was all excellent! We always enjoy your fantastic food!”

“My girlfriend and I dined here for the first time last Thursday and we walked away smiling about the lovely food and customer experience. Service was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was first class and there was plenty of it. I had a lunch box fit for a king the next day. We will be back! Thank you!”

“My goodness! This curry is truly exceptional, undoubtedly the finest in Cardiff and beyond. Having spent a considerable amount of time in the industry, I can confidently say that this is a remarkable culinary experience. We have just thoroughly enjoyed the most delicious curry, prepared in the traditional, fresh manner it should be. Congratulations to everyone at Panama.We will be back soon! Thank you.”

“Such warm and welcoming service, the food was amazing too. Excellent portion sizes and value for money. The decor is such a nice touch too. We will be back!”

“It's a takeaway so can't review the atmospheric. However, it's sparkling clean in the shop. We have had the Midweek special a few times and it's great value and very tasty. We don't like hot curry, so perfect for us as sweet, coconut flavored. And the staff are friendly also. Thanks guys.”

“We moved into the area recently and this was the first time we have tried King Sully and. We telephoned our order for delivery and was delighted with the service and the welcome we received. The meal arrived and the food was excellent. Really, really enjoyed it. We will definitely be ordering again from King Sulayman. Everyone should try it.”

“Had a lovely meal from here in the week. Always tastes amazing and very good customer service. Would recommend to anyone. Just a note they are closed on Tuesdays- they are having issues with getting it changed on the website at the moment.”

“We love the food here, the staff are very friendly, everything is great.”

“We ordered a Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma, Lamb Tikka Masala, Keema and Peshwari Naan, Bombay Aloo, Pilau Rice, Onion Bhaji and Taj Grill and it was all so so tasty! Really really impressed!”

“Had a 17 ppl party and they managed well I was sat next to 40 biker table they were loud but were a good neighboring table very polite. Staff were flat out trying to serve Food came in good time. Good room temperature but got hot quick due to lots of people there. Overall good experience Our waiter was polite the guy with beard very friendly. Definitely will visit again. Hopefully after Christmas when it gets more quite. Thank you guys Keep it up.”

“I have dined at many restaurants across Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Cardiff, London, and beyond, but I must say that Zeera truly stands out. The food was full of authentic flavor, the atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the staff were exceptionally professional and well trained. Everything was spotless, the service was outstanding, and overall, it was an excellent experience. Highly recommended.”

“Excellent food very well presented (see the picture of the samosas). Spacious, busy restaurant, bring your own bottle with no corkage fee. A short walk from the sea front, somewhat South of the town centre.”

“I have been ordering from Taj for years and it’s our go to Indian. The food is always excellent and reasonably priced! Would highly recommend!”

“We ordered a take away last night and as usual, the food was fantastic. Big thank you to the team for pulling the order together really quickly in a 10 minute window so we didn’t miss our bus - could not have been more helpful! Highly recommend this take away, always satisfies.”

“Fabulous food. The quality and the taste of the food was excellent. We tried some dishes that we have not had in other Indian restaurants, (Lamb Jamdhani & Korai Kebab Kyberi) we were amazed. Staff are very welcoming and managed to squeeze us in at short notice.”

“I recently dined at Ponnuswamy Restaurant and it was phenomenal. The staff were friendly and attentive, and food was the real highlight. Portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. I highly recommend Ponnuswamy restaurant to anyone looking for South Indian cuisine. I’m already planning my next visit.”

“Just ate here tonight with my 14 year old son. All I can say is wow , brilliant street feel , service excellent & the food was absolutely amazing & good value considering the high quality. I had the Chai special Thali, just amazing. I would recommend anyone to come here , we certainly will when we are in Cardiff again”

“went with a group of 10 for xmas meal everything was just right food was good staff good 10/10”

“What a great restaurant. Been to the India Gate many times over the years I've lived around the area. Amazing quality Indian food that is surprisingly well priced. Recently I had the chicken tikka masala classic, with onion bhaji starter. Both amazing, sauce that came with the Bhaji was unusual but so so good. Table gets a serving of poppadoms that comes with delicious sauces and toppings Service staff are smartly dressed and efficient. Didn't have to wait for anything despite every table in the place being full. Atmosphere is cosy but professional. Only downside is you may need to book a table because they are always so busy due to their consistent quality through the years.”
