Summary:
It’s Great food at great value.
Review:
The staff are friendly.
The service doesn’t take too long.
The food is authentic tasting, delicious and the portions are decent.
The value is good (4 of us ate for £45).
The seating area could be improved, but it was still comfortable (toilet OK).
Notes:
This place doesn’t have a card machine, so cash or transfer only.
Parking is hard to find in the evenings here, allow time to search.
The food is a little on the spicy side (still nothing compared to normal South Indian), so I’d mention if you want it milder.
Food:
Masala cheese dosai is excellent. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with nicely flavoured potatoes and plenty of cheese inside. It came with some decent chutneys.
Lamb biryani was surprisingly good. It came in a regular bowl and didn’t look great, but all the flavour and texture was there 👍🏻
Mixed Uttapam was good, but the texture was just a little off. Still enjoyable and I would order again.
Butter chicken is not as creamy as usual, but still delicious and well cooked overall.
Mango lassi is well made.
Masala tea is decent.
King tawa fry (fried kingfish), is a small portion for 1 (more like a side or starter), a bit spicy, and we’ll cooked and delicious.
Desserts were nice.

The food was really amazing. The atmosphere makes you feel like you are somewhere in TamilNadu. The Masala Dosa, Methi Vadai, Filter Coffee everything is perfect just like what you get in South India. Sometimes you have to wait a little bit to get your order but the people are very friendly. I found the food to be on the spicier side which I liked but be a little careful.

Overall review will be average. It used to be one of the top restaurants in Cardiff, due some reasons he wasn't able to run the restaurant as before. You won't be disappointed with the taste of the food

Amazing food. I loved the food and service at this place. I am in UK for over 2 years and it's the first ever restaurant that stole my heart. The food tastes very homely and the rates are very much affordable with decent quantity.
Must try: Filter coffee, Chicken curry

From the outside this place looks tiny but inside its compact and can seat up to 36 people. The decor is nice bright, simple and clean only negative is the chairs need replacing. The owner is lovely, friendly and hospitable English is not his first language but he will take your order with a smile and check your happy with your food or if you need anything also with a smile and positive vibe. The food is authentic South Indian my favourite is the mysore masala dosa but there varieties in dishes and all are full of flavour and spice.

South Indian restaurant that is both delicious and reasonably priced. Ponnuswamy, the owner, is a great guy.
We ate masala dosa, delicious lamb kuthu poratta, and coffee.

I love this place !!! Let me be honest from the outside the place doesnt look amazing nor is the inside but what keeps you coming back is the food. The cuisine is south indian and its probably the best ive tasted in cardiff. The place is owned by a lovely sweet charming man called Ponnuswamy hence the name. He works the place alone serving and taking orders and always is accommodating. The food is finger licking good. Definitely worth visiting guys. Make your way to this small but amazing place, you wont be disappointed.

The best curry we have ever had, an absolute must visit. Nothing like your usual curry houses, and the curries are spicy so no for the faint hearted (even those that don’t say spicy on the menu!). BYOB which is an added bonus. Our favourite place to eat in Cardiff.
