Ansh in Cardiff

Can’t remember the last time I had such a delicious burger. The flavours were so well balanced, the cheese is perfect grilled, the Welsh meat is so tasty and flavourful and the buns are so soft and pillowy We had the barti ddu and the grav. I can’t wait to go back to try the mutton burgers. Truly a gem this place!

Went with a friend at his recommendation, not been here before. The burgers and fries were absolutely delicious. Well worth the money and would definitely recommend. Puts Five Guys to shame!

First visit to Ansh, lovely juicy burgers with good structure, potato buns are a winner, star of the show were the Halloumi fries....to die for! Will be back, thanks guys - when you fancy a burger Ansh absolutely hits the spot

Amazing food as always... slight discrepancy but ansh handles it with amazing customer service...5star Definitely a return customer and happy...

Some of the best burgers my partner and I have ever had. I got the Jemima Niclas and my partner got the Barti Ddu. Both burgers tasted so different and unique, with intense and delightful flavours. The potato buns are impressively tasty as well, not just a forgettable container for its contents. We also got the fries with curried mutton which was a generous portion slathered with lots of tender, pulled mutton. For me, the prices are a little bit more on the special-occasion side as opposed to a I'll-get-this-once-a-week kind of situation, but I think that for the quality you get, it's definitely good value. I also really appreciate that there is a big focus on sustainability, as someone who doesn't eat a lot of meat for environmental reasons.

The best burgers in Cardiff. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

The food was definitely overpriced for the quality. I'd expect a Burger place to not overdo the meat or even ask how you'd like it to be cooked. The tiny overcooked steak on the Ansh Burger is honestly an absolute shame to place your name on it. I can't say I'd ever go back

My favourite burger place in Cardiff. Intense and immense flavour in a beauty of a brioche burger bun. Recommend the garlic, mushroom and cheese fries to go with any choice of burger - grav/barti ddu/oriel and betty campbell are all top class. Nice spot by the park

Probably the best burger I have ever had. Definitely in the top 3 easy. But it felt quite expensive and it took quite a while for it to come out the kitchen. What came out the kitchen was clearly well made and fresh however. Would have been nice if the constant stream of food delivery guys could close the door after them, closing it for them was quite iritating.

Really cute, love the backstory to this place and how much work it puts into sustainability etc, love that the menu is in Welsh first! Food was amazing!! I’m not sure who served us but they were really friendly and smashed hours of FOH service solo so it was really appreciated (tall, blue hair, baseball cap?) - for recognition.

Top notch burgers, the menu is really imaginative and steps away from what you would expect to see. All the food is locally sourced and they champion Welsh farming.

Thank you very much! Thank you!

Brilliant food, great atmosphere, lovely staff. Never disappointed. Also really good veggie options and flexibility.

Amazing food and the staff were supper friendly and helpful.

Just amazing burgers - simple as that, for me these are the best burgers I've ever had (specifically the Barti Ddu). And the owners are great. With the amount of times I've been now, I'm bound to put on a lot of weight.

We turned up on Saturday night and there were two large tables that were not reserved and were big enough for us to sit at. When arriving and asking for a table, they were like deer's in headlights and turned us away as if they couldn't be bothered to serve anyone else that night. Really disappointed as we were all looking forward to eating there as we'd heard great things - but unfortunately, the staff seemed to not want to serve us and take a load of money. They weren't polite in turning us away either, it was very strange and disappointing to be honest. I'm sure the food is great, but they should work on their customer service and work ethic.

What a surprise! Amazing burger! I will definitively come back to try others!

Delicious food and exceptional service. The owners go above and beyond for it's customers in which I appreciate. Thank you to the gentleman who personally delivered food when Uber made a mistake on my order.

Fab sustainable Vegan, veggie and superb beef burgers. Great sustainable packaging and options. Not greasy,, quality, tasty, unique burger joint. Quirky toilet too and decor. One of the best in Cardiff, was in hospitality for 23 years to Michelin standard

What a mouthful ;) iykyk. Really high quality beef, delicious flavours, parmesan fuelled sglods ftw. Chilled tunes, friendly service. What more could you want! Best burger in Cardiff.

Simply AMAZING.!! not sure what kind of wizardry goes on in the kitchen but the chef Aled has mastered it! How he gets them burgers to taste like that is no one’s business! Honestly the nicest burger ever to grace my mouth! I had the “Grav” but cannot wait to get back there and to complete the menu. Just all in all just a great time there. Atmosphere was great Music was great Price's are brilliant Food was UNREAL.

Best burger I've ever had. Had the Oriel Jones which I would highly recommend. Staff were very accommodating and willing to make changes to the burgers to satisfy the fussy eaters in the party. Can't wait to visit again! Diolch yn fawr!

Simple, attractive decor, can eat inside or out. Very tasty food. Highly recommend the black beef in gravy option... Could happily eat that on its own without the burger!

Delicious, fantastic provenance

Best burgers ever. I always have the ansh burger and my husband loves the Betty Campbell! Cannot go anywhere else in Cardiff for one. Friendly staff, always accommodating for our busy toddler.

Really great fresh burgers and the loaded mutton fries were incredible

Best burgers in Cardiff, bar none. Sglods y Ddraig are also really, really good.

Great hearty food. Garlic mushroom fries are awesome. Bacon a bit salty for me but other than that fantastic. Big bonus really dog friendly and even gave my dog free burger. Well done

The garlic mushroom fries are amazing!

Highly recommend! Amazing burgers, lovely staff and cool place. It's a favourite of ours and we wouldn't go anywhere else for a burger!

One of the best burgers I've had hands down. Perfect for Canton, priced well, great service. The menu is simple and not over complicated, the option for some fancy fries is also perfect

We got lucky and were able to get a table without much of a wait. Great burgers (one regular, one veggie) and dog friendly. The dog even got his own burger!

Peter's Magic Mushroom burger is hands down my favourite burger... Ever. Wonderful service and great food.

Loved our anniversary dinner here, amazing burgers, friendly staff. The seaweed rum sauce was like nothing I've had before, so good. Best halloumi fries we've ever had in Cardiff! Highly recommend Ansh if you've not been before. Diolch yn fawr!

Welsh independant burger joint opposite Victoria Park. I had the Blodeuwedd veggie burger which was ok, my friend had the Ansh Burger which she said was amazing. The garlic mushroom & cheese loaded fries were banging!

Great place....bilingual! Lovely food but there was quite a wait.

We popped in for a late lunch, and were seriously impressed. My partner had the Ansh burger, and I would imagine he enjoyed it as he didn’t speak to me for the 10 minutes he was eating it! I had the Blodeuwedd veggie burger and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Would definitely return if we’re in the area. Excellent service, super friendly.

Softest bun I think I've ever had. Was expecting a slightly better burger cooked at least to a five guys standard for the price. Could have done with more sauce on the burger, but it was definitely a solid 8/10

Best burger ive ever had in Wales. Absolutely unreal. I recommend the truffle and Parmesan fries too.

It was very cold, one heater for the entire place. Definately don't go in the winter Nice burger, kind staff

Confusion over the ordering process, showed up to store and they said an hour wait, Uber eats was 20 min - wouldn't serve us. Menu is also hard to understand.

Ansh is a brilliant place to eat. My partner and I had a really enjoyable visit and meal here. The food is absolutely fantastic - the burgers we had were delicious. The service was also excellent - very friendly and welcoming. We would highly recommend a visit to Ansh.Thank you to everyone involved - we will definitely be back soon.

Top notch burgers. Excellent flavour portion size and options. The veggie burger is not an afterthought. Staff sweet. Main down for me is the door is hard to shut and I was in a draft. Puddings a bit unimpressive but I never have space anyway.

Visited tonight for my sons birthday and can say the burger is the best I’ve ever had! I had the Celt burger and the Ansh burger sauce is really tasty, fantastic quality meat as always from Oriel Jones-service was great too. We will definitely be back and it’s great that they do takeaway. 5 stars! Diolch yn fawr!

Absolutely amazing Burgers and Fries, underrated by far, never have a bad experience and the staff are amazing, love using my native language to order my food.

We have ordered from here loads for delivery and the food is flawless and full of flavour. Pricey compared to the usual fast food rubbish but then again we aren’t comparing “Apples for Apples” let say. I took the chance to read their website as I was interested where the meat came from and was thrilled by the owner and core values. This is a firm favourite with the family. On this occasion I decided to call into thr restaurant and have an order for “takeaway”. Disappointed the black Smokey bun was out of stock but totally understand the limitations on supplier availability. Some seating for takeaway orders would be good as I had to sit on a perfectly good paying table which you wouldn’t want filled by me during busy service. I would defiantly bring the family here after a walk round Victoria Park for some food but the availability of drinks need to be greatly improved. The waitress sat two tables as I waited for me food abs listed off at least 7-10 drinks that weren’t available including the craft beer, cider and several soft drinks. This would be a big issue with my children in tail. Totally understand that you are reliant on your supply chain, but when my parents had their restaurant and pub, if the brewery let them down on a core item, my father would send the first available staff member in their car to the nearest wholesalers and replenish. Breadth of stock not depth is essential with high margin accompaniments like drinks. Especially for bums on seat opposed to takeaways. Keep up the great work.

Awesome food! Awesome service. Food was well prepared, delicious with good variety. A very clean, nice place to dine in. Highly recommended

Absolutely fantastic food. The Ansh burger is pricey but worth every penny. One of the best burger places in Cardiff without a doubt!

Worth a visit, both burger and fries were amazing. We got take away, drove 15mins home and food travelled well.

Me and my friend shared our troubles and trauma with our daily lives with each other and found this gem to do it. As we unload our personal baggage we were distracted by the deliciousness of the burgers we ordered and to top it all off their variety of fries. If you want a solid grub to distract you from the troubles of your life, come here, it will give you a temporary band aid on your big cut.

Just delicious. Went today and will be going again.

Great burgers at reasonable and delivered quickly and packaged well. Will definitely be ordering again!

Food delicious and out of this world, as it was in the Merthyr Mawr Food Festival. I also loved the Restaurant Decor. It only missed out on 5 stars as the booking was quite hard work, I even called and got cut off, this may put others off, but I persisted. No one was there to greet when we entered and we had to wonder through the restaurant to get any service. I would definitely return and i hope they improve the customer service to match the fantastic food.

Great burger. Great loaded fries. Friendly service. Could do with a warmer atmosphere. Prices aren't cheap but it's good quality food.

The barti ddu is the best burger I’ve ever had hands down

24 hours in Cardiff and we scored the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. Superb. Great wings too, served by very friendly people with an excellent playlist Hope my son gets into the uni so I’ve got an excuse to keep going back

Best burgers in Cardiff currently. Good quality meat from Oriel Jones. Interesting choices s including a mutton burger which is 👌🏽

Our second visit to Ansh & we loved it again. Amazing & unique burgers, great menu range & kind & excellent service. Best burger in Cardiff, check it out if you haven't already!

The burger was good but the rest of the food and the experience was appalling. We have ordered from Ansh via Uber eats many times but I don’t think we will anymore due to the way we were treated. Just as a heads up to the kitchen staff, you can be heard from the garden/outside sitting area. Changed our Uber route to stop here and it almost ruined our day. Spent £40 here not only disappointed with the price but also the service for a burger, 5 “nuggets”, sweet potato fries and cheese and fries(which were clearly a problem for someone in the kitchen). I love independent businesses especially restaurants but this was a very disappointing experience and definitely not worth what was paid for.

For me, Best burger in wales, they exceed expectations and are dog friendly. Recommend to check out their sister business, orieljones butchers as well. Both businesses are helpful and friendly with good quality welsh beef.

Best burger in Cardiff! Picked up an Oriel and vegan burger this eve with some normal and sweet potato fries - Everything tasted so fresh - not a greasy or sloppy, beef was lean and the brisket was incredible. Vegan burger was delicious too so flavoursome and juicy! The fries were also super fresh hot and crispy! Can’t fault this place at all! Already can’t wait to come back!

Terrible! Having been recommended by a friend we booked a table for lunch. Upon arrival the typing on the menu was so small we could not read it under the subdued lighting and had to ask a member of staff what was available only a minor point but not a good omen as it transpired. When the food arrived the waitress apologised to my partner and said she was very sorry but she had just given her burger to a take out customer and left her with a cardboard tray with some chips in. When asked she said she would bring her a new burger in a few minutes. When it arrived it was uncooked and raw mince in the middle and inedible. Again, a waitress apologised and said she wouldn’t charge her for it and took it away leaving her with the aforementioned chips. Shortly afterwards the “Chef” arrived, said sorry we would be compensated and left without offering any sort of resolution. When we finished our meal I asked the waitress if I could discuss our dining experience with someone.her reply was that we had been compensated and what else did I want? Having politely tried to explain my total disappointment with the terrible experience all she did was interrupt me and say it was safe to eat raw meat! Great customer service. Finally, it may be worthy of noting that customers dining with someone that cannot speak Welsh is likely to be speaking english even when Welsh is their first language and are listening to what is being discussed. Dewis rhywle arall!

Service was excellent by Connor, food was amazing definitely recommend the burgers and chicken wings were crispy need more sauce on wings, prices are good and reasonable. Keep it up 👍 better than Smoke and Griddle 😁definitely coming back for Celt burger 🍔

Mortified to have been served beef instead of vegan burgers at Merthyr Mawr Forest Festival. After not eating red meat for almost 20 years and vegan for almost 10, this was just an awful experience.

Brilliant GF burger & sides. Really friendly, hardworking staff too

It felt overrated. Loved the interior of restaurant but £13 for a burger without fries. The burger was nice except for the burnt bacon.

I will keep this short and sweet. Amazing burgers! Ideally located opposite Victoria Park. Go try it for yourself..... Well why are you still reading this, go!

Impossible to read the menu, put English in one chunk then Welsh. Easier to read.

Fabulous burger and cheerful service makes Ansh a burger lover’s heaven. Perfectly cooked Welsh black beef on a potato bun. Very tasty fries and an all around great experience.

Great burgers, innovative packaging, slightly ponderous service though.

Amazing burgers (and the hot wings)! Would recommend to all & we'll definitely be back!

Reluctantly giving a lower rating than usual for the main reason that they didn't have any IPA beers on Father's Day. We had a great time on Mother's Day earlier this year so we thought we'd go back. Burgers we're really nice as hoped for(Grav), my daughter was happy with her Nansi Bach but they didn't have any IPA which was part of my plan. No big deal in the scheme of things but it took the shine off the day.

Best burger in the UK and possibly Europe too.

Easily the best burgers in Cardiff

Came here after being recommended it by a friend. The staff are all really very friendly. Service was very quick. I've got zero complaints there. The food was good. They've got a good choice of burgers, and there's bound to be something everybody will like. I wouldn't say it's my favourite burger I've had in Cardiff, but it's certainly top 5. The fries were adequate to say the most. They were hardly different to throwing some supermarket own brand fries into a fryer at home. What I didn't like is the price, and how the food is served. Rather than being served on a plate, you get your burger and sides in plastic containers. It gives it a more takeaway/burger van feel rather than a sit down restaurant. It's also just wasteful. Give it to me on a plate and save the plastic. The price is the main sticking for me however. It's the sort of burger places that makes you pay extra for fries. I hate that. 95% of people ordering a burger was fries as well, just include it in the price of the burger. All in all this made the cost of the meal £15. That's very expensive for a burger that hardly knocked my socks off. Conclusion: Good burger. Friendly staff. But overpriced and considering the competition in Cardiff, it's not really justifiable.

Food a bit on the pricey side but definetely worth it :)

A fantastic burger, I ordered the oriel which came with 2 delicious beef patties and beef brisket on top, it was fantastic! The Betty fries were also delicious. The service was brilliant and the staff were very helpful. Although, the facilities are located in the bar area and I felt uncomfortable using the facilities whilst staff were talking just outside in the bar area. That's the only reason I'm awarding it a 4 star, the food was amazing!

I had burgers, but nothing like these. Amazing burgers, great place and good local beers to boot.

Simply put, the best burgers I've eaten in Cardiff. The dine in menu has a good range of sides (sweet potato fries are a personal favourite). Overall friendly service, and a fair price for such delicious food. However, a delivery hadn't arrived when I went, so several items on the menu were unavailable which was a little disappointing. I'm looking forward to going back when the menu is fully available.

Great food. Exceptional service. I wanted to go there for a while, worth the wait.

Fantastic food, well worth paying a small premium for. Friendly service.

Great find. Was recommended to come here and so glad we did. Food was awesome couldn't fault it. Will definitely come back.

It's rare to come across people that care as much about the food as ansh do, simply the best burgers you'll ever have!

Amazing burgers! The quality of all ingredients is excellent. The 3 to have are the Oriel Jones, Betty Campbell and Barti Ddu! As for the sglods (chips), with the mutton curry on top is incredible. Thank you Ansh!

FOOD 4/5 Nice selection of burgers with almost everything on the menu available as vegan or gluten free! Our burgers were all very tasty but we were slightly disappointed with the buns and felt they were a bit claggy. Their chicken burger was excellent and I can recommend the hot wings as well! We brought our dog with us and she got a free burger patty which was very kind, she loved it! SERVICE 5/5 Very friendly polite staff who were very attentive. ATMOSPHERE 4/5 Nice and clean with a nice vibe but the restaurant was freezing cold! We were also sat by the front door which doesn't close properly and lots of people would leave it open as they were coming and going. Was a bit of a pain when you have to keep getting up to close the door because of the draught! VALUE FOR MONEY 4/5 We paid £90 for four burgers, two loaded fries and some wings as well as 4 soft drinks. I felt this was pretty good value but just over £20 per person for burgers and fries might be considered steep for some people. I am happy to pay as all the ingredients are locally sourced and you can taste the quality! OVERALL I would definitely come back. Would love to try their vegan patty as well as a couple of other things on the menu. There's lots of free on street parking around Victoria park which makes it easy to visit. I'm also always more likely to go somewhere if I can bring my pup with me! (Especially if she gets a free lunch)🍔

Very disappointing experience last night (05/03/22). Arrived for my reservation on time with no staff to be seen on the restaurant floor. Had to walk around to a nook where drinks are prepared to find someone to help seat my friend and I. Was offered a choice of two tables, one large table of 6 or a table of 2 in the window. As we didn’t want to take a big table away from the restaurant and as it was just my friend and I we were happy to take the table of 2 in the window. When seated there were no menu’s available or any offer to take a drinks order. We thought this would maybe happen when the server brought over the menu. 20 minutes past with no service, menu or acknowledgement. Decided to get up and walk next door to Dough Thrower. I’ve been Ansh before hence the two star rating, their burgers are great but the service was very poor. There were 3 servers on the floor and 4 tables being used in the restaurant. Maybe some re-training is needed!

Amazing tasty burger and great quality beef , stunning with great sweet potato fries and great lager.

Really enjoyed our recent visit here. The food was as amazing as you'd expect (I had the Jemima on the server's recommendation and it didn't disappoint!) Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable and able to advise on everything. Lovely atmosphere. Really enjoyable night!

Great unique burgers and great beers, go for it

Stunning food and service impeccable - a fantastic venue - will be back soon

Super delicious . Try the seaweed sauce wings OMG

I heard about Ansh through Wales Online so went to check out their burgs. Their staff were friendly and efficient, the food was served quickly and tasted delicious. Due to popularity, they weren't able to serve everything from their menu but this wasn't a problem as everything appears to be made with love and good ingredients. Will be going again

Great burgers but fries and sweet potato fries were bland n tasteless resorted to dousing them in salt n vinegar but they couldn't be rescued. Biggest issue was how cold it was, I kept my coat on throughout and constantly had to remind other customers to close door or just do it myself. Also despite being at 1/2 capacity food took about 40mins to come out.

Best burgers in Cardiff. Great food Great service. Dioch!

The food was absolutely phenomenal and probably one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. I had the Betty Campbell and the all the ingredients perfectly complimented each other and it's the firth time I've had a potato bun that hasn't fallen apart while eating it. If I was giving it a rating for the food alone it would definitely be 5 stars, but the speed of the service, especially when we were just wanting to pay our bill left a lot to be desired. They also got our drink orders wrong, which wasn't great. This could be overlooked if it was busy, but there was only three other people there at the time. They also only turned the heating on when we were just getting ready to leave. I'd definitely come back as these are issues that can easily be fixed and I want to try the rest of their menu.

Really impressed by the whole package at Ansh, they really are true to their word! Fantastic quality meat in the burgers, the pillowy soft potato bun, sublime sauce and sharp cheddar cheese. I also had the Christmas sglods with gravy, Yorkshire pudding bits and other festive trim! So happy that i made this my Sunday lunch ❤️

Lovely good food and value for money 💰

Fantastic burgers and sides and good (small mark up) Welsh focused booze - highly recommended. Very dog friendly.

We dined it and I ordered the veggie burger. It was so good. Really impressed. Will definitely come back to try other burgers.

The best burgers we’ve ever had! Had a takeaway and eaten out the back too. Friendly and accommodating staff. Will definitely be back.
