Highly recommend! Authentic South-Indian food, everything we tried was absolutely fantastic, food is halal and lots of vegetarian options. Must try is their filter coffee. Service was quick and lovely! Cash only but there is a cash machine right on the opposite side.

One of the best South Indian (Tamil Nadu) restaurants in Cardiff. The food was spicy but delicious. The fish curry was so authentic. The eggplant curry (ennai katharikai) is a must try item.
