Tried Omani Food for the first time and very pleased with my decision. Very high quality food, fresh and tasty. Atmosphere and ambience are ideal for a telaxed lunch or dinner. Staff arr very kind and polite. Strongly recommend this place.

Pretty good meal here, unfortunately they'd sold out of the dishes we wanted to try.
Half a chicken was great, good flavour with crispy skin.
Lamb shank was OK but a little bit dry and very heavy on the cumin.
The curried broth (which was complimentary) was delicious, will definitely return to try the lamb Mandi in future.
Prices are very low

A hidden gem on City Road. If you want authentic Omani cuisine don’t bother going anywhere else. Staff and the service at the restaurant was 10/10. Very friendly staff who navigated me through the menu to help me decide what to order. Would highly recommend. The lamb was beautifully cooked, soft and tender and was complemented very well by rice. Free complements such as soup and potatoes added even more joy to the experience- there very few places where you get this sort of dine in experience. I shall be visiting again soon!!

I would love to recommend this halal Omani Resturant. All good food we had. People are nice and environment was very clean. Best was Omani Coffee MashAllah. The best thing is that serving was good in cheap price.

Super duper delicious grilled whole seabass served with rice and salad. Excellent service, very kind waiter catered to my request for extra salad and less rice. Came with complimentary lentil soup.

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.

Really delicious food and different flavours to other local restaurants with similar cuisine

The most delicious Omani dishes in the UK. We tried different dishes and they are all very delicious. They taste like local Omani food you eat in Oman. Great success. The karak tea is very nice. The restaurant has nice traditional Omani dining rooms upstairs.

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted was delicious. Absolutely the best meal we had while in (Cardiff). Highly recommend!

As you can see an empty plate and that's how it should be! The lamb shewa was one the tastiest dishes I've tried in Cardiff! The lamb was slow cooked to perfection and the spices complemented it beautifully. The rice was on point and so was the hospitality. 100% I will return to this place and try other dishes

This is the only restaurant that serves various Omani traditional dishes and meals in Cardiff and maybe in UK. Once you step inside, you feel like home. It's full of old Omani crafts and decorations. Food is very very delicious. They even serve Karak and other stuff. It definitely worths a visit. 😋👌

We ordered a half lamb from this restaurant as 7 of us we attended. I have to say that the lamb was an outstanding for all of us. The service was excellent and the brother Khalid was very welcoming and he couldn't do more for us): we would definitely come back again to this a great place!!
I would highly recommend to anyone to try this place and you wouldn't regret the amazing experience here!
Thanks for your hard work and and outstanding food):

Firstly, let's talk about the ambiance. The décor is definitely a standout. The restaurant has been designed with traditional Middle Eastern accents like beautiful mosaic tiles and elegant lamps. The staff is polite, courteous, and always offering excellent service.
The menu is extensive and features various Middle Eastern cuisine, including appetizers, salads, main courses, and desserts. Many people have raved about their hummus, falafel, and tabbouleh. The meats are cooked to perfection with all the flavors you would expect, and the vegetarian options are also delicious.
The portions are generous and the presentation is eye-catching. The food is always served hot and fresh, and the spices stimulate your taste buds in such a unique way.
Lastly, the prices are very reasonable, which makes Al Wali an excellent choice for a casual dinner with friends or family. All in all, I highly recommend Al Wali for anyone looking for a Middle Eastern dining experience.

By far the best arabic and Halal resturant in Cardiff and in the whole of the UK
We had the Seabass which was very delightful and very well cooked
Dr Khalid is the best host

I have been to this place several times and it's never disappointed me with the quality of food and service. Sea bass, Karak tea, and Shawa are their signature dishes and my favourite as well.

Went with friends, some of the dishes were presented beautifully. Seabass with kabsa! Lamb shema with briyani rice, everyone forgot to take pics as they were busy eating. My veg spring rolls, french fries, falafel were hot not tepid, crispy & just lush! Sweet kadak chai!! Absolutely bang on! Portion size is lovely, they are not stingy, great old Omani... Bahraini style food right here in Cardiff 😁🤩 Here's couple pics I managed to get... More next time...

Amazing food and welcoming hospitality !
Some might force themselves to be put off by the setup, being mediocre by contemporary standards but walk in and past any prejudice if you enjoy food made well and with taste to savour.
Family in tow, our service from the pony tailed Libyan to the owner's young son taking our order and questions on allergens and re arranhing the order after 10 minutes of it patiently left nothing but good feelings towards the establishment.
Went in late for a working day so ended up being the last ones out. Will be visiting soon and often with friends and family. 👍🏼
I woould give it 4.5 but then for the money and the atmosphere it`s a total winner!
