Barinis in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Great Sunday dinner at reasonable prices. Very good service from staff and nice venue.

This was my first visit. The food was not expensive and the portion size was more than I expected. The staff were attentive and the atmosphere was friendly.

Amazing restaurant, lovely staff 😍 Also entertainment Friday and Saturday nights

Amazing atmosphere like being part of a lovely family .Owners and staff are all so welcoming can't do enough for you .meals are absolutely delicious .A great place to be .You can dance or just sit listening to music with a drink or two or maybe three .Singers .Karaoke all to keep you amused .We have to say this is the best place we have ever been in .Well done Barinis this is our favourite Bar xx ,👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I'm sorry but although the Sunday lunch was delicious the plates were mean. Adding to this the poor service having starter & main course took over 2.5hrs. Even then 2 starters went missing, 1 main was very late & extra side was too late to eat with main meal. We asked for dessert & received a menu but after a further 20 mins when no one came to take the order we left. We had asked for the bill at the point where we asked for the dessert menu but it simply never arrived. One of our party went to pay at the bar but then wasn't given a bill just a menu to 'work it out' ourselves. Such service is just unacceptable. Ok it was busy & staff were polite but that's just not enough.

Good bar, nice atmosphere lots of space with big screens to watch the sport. Only down side is that the toilets are really dirty and grotty.

Was quiet Wednesday night. Service was quick & friendly. Had pasta carbonara. I gave compliments to the chef as it was probably one of the best cabonaras I have ever had, an I like my pasta. Definitely be back again.

We recently went here for a meal and I have to say it was one of the best I’ve had. Sirloin and chips and steak baguette and chips , absolutely delicious, couldn’t fault one thing about the meal, the service or the atmosphere and surroundings. Would strongly recommend a visit.

Celebrated a birthday here. Food was great. Staff were very welcoming. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Huge quantity of food. Lovely service and nice environment. Perfect place for a weekend. If you're a cocktail lover, order pitcher than single glass.

No chicken seemed odd to start with after we'd been told of 4 meats available which included chicken as i recall? The Sunday lunch was very good with a decent amount of veggies nicely cooked. A goodly amount of tender beef or lamb too. Not enough gravy so i asked for more but never got it even though it was promised my request was forgotten in a not so busy establishment sadly. Service was slower than it should have been & serving lady had to be reminded a dessert menu had been asked for some 15 minutes earlier. However we would return as the lunch overall was good coming in at just over £10 for the main course & only some £4 for a dessert. So on this occasion they just needed to remember things asked for & act a little more speedily on them.

Great little bar , we went on a satuday for the karaoke, we got there late and the vibe was still excellent. Reasonable prices for drinks , yet to try the food but if the rest of the facility is anything to go on can imagine it is nice. Canot reccomend enough , a proper hidden gem. Staff are lively as well, it is clean and neat and there are pleanty of seating options. Honestly was frustraded it took me this long to try it. Great stuff !!

Lovely roast beef lunch and good price! Staff fabulous! Thank you

Went here for my works Christmas meal cannot fault the service and the food They were very accommodating and also a very professional service, food was excellent and will be returning this year definitely .

I didnt go there myself, but my son said it is very good there

Went in for drinks and looks nice in there, but was empty. Ordered a coke and a glass of lemonade. The coke was a can from the fridge. The lemonade was from an already open bottle and was flat. The can of coke was also flat. And I was charged £4. Will not be returning

Huge amount of food but delicious, really friendly and helpful staff. Great atmosphere very chilled. Went for a family meal and was very relaxed there. The staff brought out the cake while getting the whole crowd singing happy birthday was great!

It was organised for service (although we had to place 16 orders the day before). Main courses were much enjoyed by all. Slightly disorganised desserts having to order at the bar & choice of only 4 then some orders couldn't be filled because they'd run out so had to choose something else. Crumble was nice but not enough actual crumble. Got noisy just before we left with party going on & it became a little tricky as kids were blocking the exit. Would we return, yes we would as the ribs my grandson had were i'm sure a full pigsworth.

Pre-booked Sunday dinner for family of 16 (pre-booked only, take note!) Straight in, service was brilliant and food served (once again all pre-booked) within the hour of being seated! Look at the photos, what a magnificent place inside! Lack of parking outside but can't say what it's like a little further afield for flow of traffic and I wasn't driving (too often I do so nice to have a drink - see the cocktail!) Menu changes frequently, pre-booking strongly advised.

Nice drink in a great looking bar. Friendly and efficient staff. Felt very cold. Dreadful karaoke was too loud as was the interval music.

My first visit to Barinis. Quite impressed. Good service, food was very tasty. Would definitely go back again

Service needs work; came in for a pint and roast dinner and sat nursing my pint for an hour while others got their dinners, even those arriving after me. I assumed at first that it was just because it had gotten a bit busier 10 mins after I got there, as it was pretty dead when I walked in. Eventually gave up and asked about it, but explained I didn't have any more time to wait for the dinner so if they'd forgotten it, just cancel it. I thought that they might at least comp my pint for the inconvenience but no such offer came. Can't recommend based on this experience.

Food is always lovely!. Prices are great. Service is always spot on! The night life is always great here too!. Karaoke singer and drinks on Saturday was really fun!.

Mice droppings everywhere! Rude staff and overpriced. Don’t waste your time. Go somewhere clean and friendly.

Nice place good food friendly staff, good prices

We love this bar .lovely dinner I had turkey my husband had beef we both enjoyed our meal .my husband did miss mash potato but we both are it all thank you 😊 x

Had a lovely time. The aesthetic is very American which is cool. Was very loud on the night we went since it was karaoke

Lovely food and friendly, helpful staff

We chose Barinis for a retirement party and were so glad that we did! From day 1 Geraldine was amazing and could not have been more helpful. Barinis is is a really gorgeous venue with a brilliant atmosphere and a large indoor balcony for private parties. The food was great and all the staff were amazing. We couldn't have had a better night and will definitely be back soon! THANK YOU Geraldine and everyone else, keep up the good work!

A lovely night out,friendly staff n great food and atmosphere Very much a plus all round,brilliant place and consistently way above average,brilliant value for money.

Another excellent meal never fail to disappoint Great food always here...burger meal was absolutely amazing... as was the lasagne Highly recommended

Excellent staff , food was well cooked , need to change the chip's otherwise 10/10 excellent value I had a mighty mixed grill

I booked this place for a group of 38 in total as we were having a get together for the rugby and from the very start it was a bad experience.on arrival I was told although there was bottled cider in fridge it was reserved and not for sale and there was a very limited selection of alcohol. We booked a buffet for 25 persons and again there didn't seem enough food to feed 10 never mind 25.i could go on and on about other issues but will be definitely not be booking this place again.

Very nice bar. Has a pleasent home feeling to it. Lovely wood decor really adds to the warmth.

Sunday dinner with my wife and family For her birthday, there were 4 generations at the party. Food was very good and the service was excellent.

Had bar meals and Sunday lunch both excellent

Booked last minute for 12 of us, went as a group of couples and split the tables to a girls and boys table although close enough. Food was absolutely beautiful and excellent portions, bar staff were fantastic and the service was excellent. Not one complaint from our group.. will definitely be revisiting for food..

Great place very friendly staff

Prompt service, really friendly staff, food arrived looking delicious and fresh and tasted just the same. Excellent:)

Eaten here twice can’t fault the food. The staff are really friendly as well. I will be back 👍😀

Absolutely love this place friendly atmosphere lovely staff and stunning food highly recommended

Amazing Christmas dinner ! So tasty and large portions - gravy to die for . Lovely staff - can’t beat the Christmas meal !!

Jesus - went to the toilets and greeted by an alien civilisation with its own Ecosystem and economy.... What on planet earth is going on in the men's toilets.... Any bacteria-ologist know what this is?? +++

Good grub and beer a decent price

Fab food fab prices and fab owners! Lovely staff 💜

Wow... We cancelled a big chain to come for the 2 steaks and wine deal, Anka is a massive credit to this place, funny, attentive and just all round excellent, I felt like I was on holiday because her service isn't usual for the UK. The food 2 steaks cooked exactly as asked, tasty and cut perfectly.. If a place has come out of locked down shouting try us, this place wind hands down.

Best food I've had in a long time really lovely Mixed grill was perfect and the sirloin steak tender will definitely go again ...staff very polite and helpful 👌

Have been here several times over the years both as a student and a non student, here are my views. Food is amazing here and comes highly recommended..The beef lasagne no mixed grill is cooked of the highest quality. Have a variety of drinks available here (and had some cracking deals between Mondays-Wednesdays on student nights). While some staff are great, I will say that some staff who either do work or did work here did seem very disinterested and some beers/ales are not always available. The pub did seem to have a different feel on the weekends compared to the weekday evenings as I would say you feel more on edge and as a outcast when walking in compared to the weekdays you have more of that student feel and friendly atmosphere.

Quick service. Both food and drinks reasonable priced. Will visit again

Lovely pint of blue moon in the beer garden

Lovely pub grub and good beer. Staff very friendly and helpful - great to be back after lockdown

Lovely to see Barinis open again,great friendly staff, good atmosphere and food which compares so well to any other local pub Lots of positives about this place,always a joy to visit. Really appreciate the friendly personal welcome.

Sharing platter was HUGE! Also very tasty and all for just under a tenner. Medium sirloin steak and Chicken Fajita as mains. HUGE again, great quality ingredients, very tasty and booked again for 24th December. The team members are fantastic. They cannot do enough for you. Far exceeded my expectations.

Great place tucked away beside Tesco Express, friendly staff, great Lunchtime menu, dont miss this place on your travels.

Good staff. Had a good time there.

Had a fab time at barinis. Brilliant bar service and table service from the waitress Beth. Definitely would recommend to a friend and will be returning again.

A real nice venue. Beautiful workers. Amazing food. Amazing price. I there were more stars i would add more

Always great food and friendly staff. Recommended

Good service and food, but a little crowded and noisy.

Had a fab meal here tonight, beautiful food, good service and well managed with social distancing. Definitely be back and would highly recommend. Thank you.

Meal was very good. I had steak chips. Staff friendly.defo go there again.

Visited last week, rude service with a can’t be bothered attitude, surprised as I thought you’d be happy to be open again. member of staff was very “preoccupied” with her mobile phone, and then later on was too busy to deal with my complaint as she was sat having a pint barking orders at the bar. Surprised she was having a pint as half the beer was out of stock!

Lovely meal and polite helpful staff

Food was good but could of been hotter staff were lovely

Superb location. This place has it all. 10/10 would visit every single day. May have wedding here, haven’t decided

A bit too expensive for my liking but not too bad of a beer

Recently attended a private party at Barinis and can only speak volumes for the service we received from everybody at Barinis. From the arranging of the party all the way through to the end of the evening, the help and welcome we received from the owners and staff was second to none. In particular, mention must be made of the wonderful buffet, there were over 80 guests and everybody was very complimentary without any exception.Whilst thanking everyone for their hard work and co-operation, I would not hesitate to recommend Barinis to future customers.

....except cabbage was a little undercooked not just al dente. No J20 orange/passion fruit. Otherwise dleicious & plentiful. Tasty deserts too. Around £45 for 2 large cokes, 2 beef dinners, a veggie dinner my son said was very good, a burger, & 3 desserts. Basic seating for the most part but plenty of room. Good service too.

Good atmosphere was a group of us good night friendly

Me and my family just had a meal and watched the rugby good food brilliant staff and good prices only thing i would say is you have to have cash and the cash machine outside was not working

Good go agian lovey food an kinde staff

Great venue with an exciting menu

Lovely place. All welcome. Staff is friendly!

Its a pre drinks bar for most people on the weekends so best to go in the week if you want food, speaking of which the food is pretty damn good as well as the drink selection. The bar itself is a beautiful building, definitely a "bigger on the inside, smaller on the outside" type place.

Plenty of space to chat and eat. Huge portions were dished up 😀

Great personal service and lovely food. I'd especially recommend the tapas or nachos!😁

Went for christmas party was alright but food very average

Christmas Dinner was lovely. Great atmosphere, great place to eat chill or have a party I recommend

We went there for a xmas works do had a fantastic time. The food was fantastic and the service was very quick.

Friendly staff. Good food and very reasonable prices. Quite chilled. Not plush but pleasant decor

Use to be very nice and cosy, went there very often. Now it's a restaurant with uncomfortable chairs and tables. Food is very expensive

Lively place nice people nice music x

Food was stunning, staff very friendly and really good value for money. Would definitely recommend!!

Good pint.. nice spacious.. would go back

Good quality pint and a friendly service from bar maid

Awesome service, very lovely bar staff. Unexpectedly went on karaoke night, the girl running it had a stunning voice my god. Wish the music was a little quieter earlier in the night, at 8pm it was hard to hear each other while eating food. As a vegetarian the staff kindly brought cheddar for my pasta instead of Parmesan. Toilets (ladies) were not well maintained that night, one was out of order, the other blocked leaving only one. Also I tried using Unidays to prove I was a student (as you have to sign into your uni account to validate it for the year) and they didn't accept it which I don't get. Make sure you bring your student card for a discount :)

Service excellent, thank you to the very attentive boys tonight.We enjoyed a very tasty sirloin steak - my friend and I chose the 2 steak meal & bottle of wine offer It was perfectly cooked followed by a delicious sticky toffee pudding & custard Will return

Interesting decor lovely food very friendly staff

Decent prices and nice and quiet. Will return!

A superb pub for a few drinks late evening.

Very good, friendly service. Food was excellent and very good value for money. Nothing negative from me!

What more to say? It's basic looking but clean. Service was quick, sunday roast very tasty. Not much on an 'ale' range disappointingly for me. Car parking ouside & roomy in there including table that seats over 20 people, great for a gang night out :)

Good service and beers as always

Was an amazing night served by two lovely bartenders one called mathew he was an absolute gem and he couldn't be more fun to talk to what great staff hope to come back soon 😊 x

A great place 2 meet up wiv friends and family

Love the decor of this place but I'm afraid the food wasn't that great. There were about 20 of us there for lunch. There was another small table of about 3 or 4 diners. We'd ordered the food before hand. We paid for our food before it was brought to the table. The staff were very organised. We didn't need to wait long for our food. Our table was booked for 1pm and we were there 15 minutes early. I had the thai fish cakes. They were dry and claggy with little flavour. I had the spicy chicken burger which had a few lettuce leaves and the breaded chicken in a bun with chips and a garnish. Again, it was all quite dry. Two of my friends had rump steaks which were more like minute steaks and dry and chewy. Perhaps we made the wrong choices. Some had scampi and they were very happy with theirs. Always worth a try.

On looking at menu appears quite a choice but a few meals unavailable which we find is the same everytime we visit.staff friendly but food basically ok only.desserts are a fair price as some establishments charge a fortune. Iwould love to say the meal was enjoyable but the burger i had was like cardboard.Another point id like to make is the cutlery and condiments are in a wooden holder which dont look very nice.A final point for as long as we have gone there they say the card machine isnt working well its not worked for over a year at least.There is a atm very close by however this is off putting in the rain and if that machine was down id be snookered to pay.Most places accept card payments be honest and say you dont.

Friendly staff and surprisingly good food. Not much to look at from the outside but tardis like space on the inside. At lunch time it's a great place for business lunch & in the evening a meal out or just a few drinks with friends. 4 stars as it wasn't taking card payments on my visit, this was easily fixed though as it's next to a small Tesco with cash machine.
