I had my hen do here and loved it! My sister arrange a table for us and the waitress was attentive and friendly. Was a great place to have some drinks. Later on it got busier and there was a great atmosphere! Loads of fun and good music. Would recommend and it was well worth booking a table if there is a large group of people.
Not enough words to say how great the staff are. They went above and beyond to make sure I was safe after a nightmare night. Great staff and service as well as lovely venue, can't recommend Ten mill lane enough!

Overall, this little gem of Cardiff is a must visit for its amazing tasting food at a medium price range.
Restaurant and layout:
We were initially a little nervous passing through almost a little tunnel to the front door and inside the restaurant it certainly looked aged. The colours seemed a little worn from the long run of business and the tables very cosy; they weren't overly large. Others have complained it to be dirty but I didn't really notice obvious dirt to be honest. We didn't use the toilet so I cannot comment on this.
Staff:
It was quiet and staff greeted us as we walked through the door, several pairs of eyes looking to get us seated and comfortable. That's attentive service from the get go, and the standard didn't drop. We had plenty of time to decide on drinks before ordering them and some more time to discuss starters, courses and brief diverging subjects. We never felt rushed, And whenever we wanted something else a waiter was to our table within moments. They put a service charge of 10% on our bill but we planned to tip them anyway and still did; they are a credit to catering staff.
Food:
I know my indians, better than most white British and I always love to try something new off a speciality menu. Poppadoms were ordered with 3, aromatic dips and they lasted us even to accompany food. We ordered a perhaps too oily vegetarian starter and a beautifully made roll of minced mixed meats that had a little spice to warm the pallets.
A main meal for each with sides came in fair time after, somewhere in the 20-30 minute range. There was just enough room on the table to fit every plate, and I have to say I tried each of my friends curries (with their permission) and each was unique and flavourful;
Their tandoori chicken came beautifully seasoned and served hot, crackling on a hot plate;
Their masala was different to what I'm used, but it had a not spicy hot mix of flavours;
My dish was superb, aromatic and tender duckling pieces in a honey and lime lightly spiced curry was bursting with sweetness and flavour, beautifully complimented by pilau rice as recommended by the waiter when I asked him for good accompaniments. All food was served steaming hot.
Final notes:
If you don't ask you don't get Here beyond initially taking your order, the waiters are always on standby to take your requests and otherwise did not bother you so you can talk to friends, lovers etc. Great for dates when it's quiet and great for catchups when it's busy!
Great place, you need be book as it gets busy. Food was lovely. Gteat variety on the menu. Found mine to be a little too spicy but thats my own taste and not down to the food. Everything tasted very fresh and food was hot (temp) lovely atmosphere. Will be going back
Haven't tried the food yet but a friend said it's stunning. My review is to give credit coz they let my daughter and I use the toilet on our way home on a long journey, they were so nice 😃
Visited midweek and even though it was quiet still had a great time and the food was very good especially the Tarka Dhal which was incredible. Staff were friendly and attentive and overall would come back here if I was looking for a good curry in Cardiff
CM boys out as our 50th review....
3 pops each with the statutory pickle tray- really good but mint sauce got a bit lost...
CM1 went for prawn dansak and shared a chana masala and nan. Bloomin' spicey for an innocent looking dish but very tasty!
CM2 Chicken Khuripuri - it was awesome! Really tasty load of chicken, well impressed.
Our top place in Cardiff.

Enjoyable meal, not too greasy, very tasty. Fast & polite service. Everything you require from an Indian restaurant. Recommend
Food was great and not too expensive for a city centre restaurant. Service very quick (although I did visit at 6pm) and helpful.
Good food and service. 2nd time eating here in past few years when visiting Cardiff and dependable.
I try and come here every time I visit Cardiff (3 to 4 times a year) as the food is always good
