The food was absolutely excellent, the atmosphere intimate and the service good without being overbearing. We ate well past the point of being full and didn't regret it for one second. I couldn't pick a bad thing to say about a single bite. Well worth a visit, and a return visit. I certainly will.

We can't praise this restaurant highly enough (well we don't want you all booking at once, do we?!) We discovered this gem through Trip Advisor on a recent visit to Cardiff. What a find - a treat for vegetarian spouse (one meat dish, for carnivores) with imaginative food obviously influenced by the chef/patron's globe-trotting, and the ready availability of just... More

No complaints lovely. Well located, not too busy, would recommend.

We found this restaurant via Tripadvisor and what a find it was. The food was different to what we are used to, the range of flavours amazing! We couldn't fit in pudding as the other two courses were huge. The service was excellent, we weren't rushed which resulted in a truly relaxing evening.

Its menu is unusual, there were many ingredients in the vegetarian dishes that I had literally never heard of!

To top it off it was very reasonably priced (£16.00 for 3 courses). Too good to... More

I booked this restaurant for my parents and partner to celebrate 3 birthdays after reading the excellent reviews. The four of us enjoyed every minute of our evening, from the exquisite blend of flavours complimenting one another within each dish to the buzzing, friendly atmosphere and fantastic service from all staff members. Tony the restauranteur is one of the nicest... More

We were reminded of the best food we ate last year in Thailand. Our food was imaginatively crafted, tasty, fresh and good value. This is a real find. A bonus was the house red wine for £7.

first time I had been to the restaurant via recommendation. Immediately liked the decor and artwork that fills the place, much like the friendly atmosphere! The food is very different to any food I have previously tried, personally being a boring eater, it was a lovely change and I would not be scared to try something different on the 4... More
