I love the food here and the desserts. The quantity is great. Love having the mixed kufta here, it's served with rice and yogurt dip, both of which are yum. I keep going here again and again.
The search for Cardiff’s best kebab is proving to be a lot more challenging than I first anticipated. It’s not because there’s a dearth of decent doners or a scarcity of succulent shishes. In fact, it’s quite the opposite - City Road and its environs have turned out to be a kebab utopia. Reviewed kebabs from Lilo’s and Mina’s and post-pub guzzles from KBS and Abo Ali have all been excellent. Now, Shaam Nights can been thrown into the mix too. Shaam Nights, formerly Can Zaman, is a Syrian restaurant with stunning Middle Eastern inspired decor. Mosaic tiled walls and grand metal chandeliers take you to a place a long way from the hustle and bustle of City Road. A lack of alcoholic beverages is more than compensated for by an excellent selection of freshly squeezed juices and smoothies. Both a strawberry and banana smoothie (£3) and an apple juice (£2.50) were commendable stand-ins for lager. We started with some top notch mixed mezze (£8). Smooth hummus, smoky and creamy moutabal and pom
My wife and I absolutely love it here. I brought her here on our 3rd month date and 7 years on we still come back every few months because the food is just incredible. The service is always friendly and attentive with the decor beautiful and unique. We live about 5 minutes from here and it’s our go-to when we want to take out of town friends for a communal meal. Highly recommend to anybody who hasn’t tried it!
