Bulgarian Kitchen in Ceredigion

Nice little place, not fancy, great prices and service and the food was lovely. 4 adults and a child, all had something different and all enjoyed the food.

Nice home cooked food, good value for money and a very friendly atmosphere👍

We’ve been coming to Aberystwyth for the comedy festival, and our favourite restaurant had changed hands so we wanted to find somewhere new. It was pure chance that we found the Bulgarian Kitchen, its friendly green exterior and soft lighting convinced us to step inside. The atmosphere is refreshingly simple and warm, with traditional Bulgarian music played in the background. The rich red covered bench tables are more than enough space if you’re a couple or a bigger party. The concise menu of traditional dishes allow many needs and tastes, and the food is served fresh and piping hot. Service is very courteous and friendly. This is a very popular restaurant, but there is plenty of seating, and waiting time for dishes is very reasonable and well worth the wait. The restaurant has a licence so you can have alcohol with your meal, or coffee. If you want to escape the identical characterless eateries, the Bulgarian Kitchen is packed with character and atmosphere a flavour of is country and a real destination to eat and experience. We’ll come back again soon!

We had a wonderful meal here and it was fun exploring Bulgarian cuisine! The staff was attentive and helpful when we had any questions on the menu. We'd eat here again!

As tourists from Turkey we were treated excellently and I can certainly say that this restaurant is one of the best places to eat in this city. The portions are huge and the price is well worth it. The fries we had were excellent along with the chicken steak. Afterwards we also went for the Kofte or meatballs which were also great. I would certainly recommend this place as a person who has been to Bulgaria many times and very good even considering the home country’s standards. Thanks

A really enjoyable change from the normal fair. Food was good wholesome right amount and very pleasing. Bulgarian beer also different but nice. Full marks around.

Good basic authentic food at a reasonable price

This is the place to go when here...you love truly home cooked and super tasty? This is your place.

Fantastic Traditional food with outstanding service

Super authentic atmosphere (i'd know im Bulgarian, haha)! The food was delicious and fresh and piping hot! Lovely place for casual dinners but I also like to sit and work on my laptop with a cup of fresh coffee and a slice of homemade cake! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to try the eastern European cuisine.

Great atmosphere, good staff and delicious cheap food. What more can one want? I had the nadenitsa with the white bean stew, cheese banitsa (they didn't have any other variety at the time) baklava and beer. The stew was simply divine and had a bit of heat which I liked. Not too much but enough to feel the chilly. Definetly recommend. Baklava was probably the least sweet version I've ever tasted, which is not a bad thing. It had sweetness but wasn't overpowering allowing one to taste the nuttyness more. After paying my bill which really wasn't much I rolled away happily.

This place never disappoints. Been there some times and the food is always tasty and very good value. Great cakes as well.

Absolutely brilliant place that we discovered quite by accident (we walked past it several times between our B&B and the center). Looking at the menu we made an impromptu decision to have dinner there and we didn't regret it for a single second. Absolutely delicious food for a very reasonable price and very friendly staff. Will definitely return next time we're in Aberystwyth!

Very quiet on the evening I was there, but service was excellent, and the food was delicious - the desserts were very generously sized! If I lived closer I would go there a lot.

Awesome food, lovely space, friendly service.

Everything about this place is pleasing, the food is excellent, the owners are chatty and friendly and the overall ambiance is beautifully traditional. I can’t wait to go to this place again. Incredible value

Absolutely delicious, homely food in a place with lots of traditional charm, served by a fantastic waitress and chef. The ambience alone is worth going for. Me, my partner and our son really enjoyed our meal. Thank-you both for a lovely evening!

Busy night in Aber. This place was v accomodating and food was authentic. I like how they put the weight of the food so you know how much to expect.

I had dinner here last night with a friend and it was fantastic. To answer a question we had, they do have an alcohol licence (previous restaurant at this location didn't for those who remember and wonder like us) so no need to byob. We had some traditional pastries with filling, a stuffed pepper and a traditional mousaka. All of it was lovely. Great portion sizes and served with fresh salad. Washed down with a bottle of Bulgarian white wine. (they also do beers etc). We also indulged in a Bulgarian dessert which was home made and delicious. You could see the lady who waited on us and chef clearly preparing food fresh to order and this is a lovely touch. The lady helped explain what everything was on the menu etc as well and was very kind. They are obviously working very hard to try build up a business, I hope local people can support them and they do very well. We'll be returning very shortly and recommending.

Very tasty authentic Bulgarian cuisine, home cooked by the owners! I enjoyed the shopska, chevapchiche and ayran! Very recommended!

Verry clean and tidy place with professional service and tasty Bulgarian food that you gonna love it. Portions are large, so you can't leave hungry 😋

If you are local to Aberystwyth, you need to support these guys. Superb food. It should be busier even on a Monday night.

We stumbled gratefully on this place during heavy rain having failed to find the restaurant we'd booked for, and with the risk of missing our evening meal looming! The menu looked distinctly Greek with salads including feta and olives and grilled pork with chips, though my wife had a tasty baked savoury rice. Everything was pleasant without being a great dining experience, but at a very reasonable price (though the wine was rather overpriced for a Bulgarian Cabernet Sauvignon!) The restaurant is apparently run by a Bulgarian family who were very helpful and pleasant. This small restaurant was otherwise empty, apparently because the university vacation had started, which suggests that this cheerful budget eatery is usually a student haunt. Not a place we'd choose to eat normally but that night it delivered, so Thank You!

Lovely little place with delicious food and great service. Surprised it was so quiet on a Friday night but perhaps half term had an impact! Give this place a try!

Really great food and service, amazing flavours to everything we tried, I highly recommend this great little restaurant

Warm atmosphere and lovely food. Very impressed.

What an incredible find. We came across it without looking and had the most wonderful private experience with one in one service from the most professional and knowledgeable waitresses. Inspiring and delicious

Welcoming staff. Good food, very good price

Very delicious meal, very lovely, friendly staff, recommended

All the food and drink was delicious. And there was some beautiful Bulgarian singing on the CD. The price was very reasonable. The interior is so unpretentious, which is lovely.

I like the food. It's tasty and nutritional. Also, nice service. Would recommend to a friend - 10/10.

A-ma-zing! Very tasty home made food. Really tastes like the food I had in Bulgaria. The service is excellent and you can also buy some sausages to go. Edit 09.2022: new place, same great quality!

Lovely meal; grilled chicken and rice and salad was very nice, salad was fresh, chicken nicely marinaded, the Bulgarian sausage and beans was really good to. We were too full for pudding! Food wasn't 'fast', but that's because it was freshly cooked. Service was good, the waitress was very pleasant, and informative about the food and Bulgaria. Prices are very reasonable. I'd eat there again.

What a lovely find! Eat here! I am so glad the first few places I called were fully booked. Unique little restaurant with fresh, good food. The portions are generous and a fantastic value. It was £43 for 4 adult meals and a child’s meal (probably the best chicken nuggets I’ve ever had)… 5 drinks and 4 desserts. The waitress who I believe may have also been the owner was extremely helpful and answered lots of our questions about menu items. Service was quick and efficient. I will definitely come back here! We also bought a few bits and pieces from the little Bulgarian food shop they have there… lovely biscuits and sweets. Just try it! Trust me.

Excellent service and great food. Thanks very much!

Well, this place is one little gem. Amazing Bulgarian cuisine combined with excellent service in nice, very well presented interior. Pretty sure everyone will find somting for himself in that amazing little restaurant. I would give 6 stars if I could 👍

Really enjoyed our meal here, staff were lovely and informative. Food tasted great and well priced! I really enjoyed a drink called a 'Boza' - quite interesting.

Excellent cakes and all round delicious food. Really friendly people and walked the extra mile to cook vegan for us. Would highly recommend.

Delicious food with new flavours and dishes. Big portions. Friendly service

Amazing, home-cooked Bulgarian food. We have tried most of the dishes and they are all excellent. Something for everyone including vegetarians. Ask for the homemade pickled Chilli and garlic it's amazing! As are the kebabs, mousaka, lasagne, grilled chicken etc. etc. Also, the Creme Caramel and Baklava are so tasty. Perfect with their really good coffee or a pot of lovely Bulgarian herbal tea. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Lovely family owned restaurant with a warm welcome. Deserves to be supported by anyone living in or visiting Aberystwyth!

What a pleasant surprise! Authentic Bulgaria food, lovely owner and good service! Highly recommended!

Beautiful, hearty food. Authentic. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

Fantastic home cooked Bulgarian food. Warm welcome and great service. Proper family run restaurant. Will be going back!

Fantastic food and very helpful staff well worth a visit

Great homemade food with plenty of flavour. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Also very helpful explaining a few dishes we were unsure of. We had a musaka and the kebabcheta. The dessert was amazing and perfect for the sweet tooth. Will definitely be visiting again. Was really good value for money

Really good food and great value. Lovely big portions of food incuding fresh salads served with dishes and my number one a Bulgarian yoghurt sauce. I wasn't sure what kind of food to expect but if you like Mediterranean food you gonna like this as well. Definitely gonna order again. Highly recommend.

Really tasty and excellent value for money :-)

A very good choice, the musaka was tasty, pickled salad was good and my partner enjoyed the bean stew (v) Will recommend....

This is a very nice homely place. We went to Bulgaria 2 years ago and coming here tranposted us back for a brief moment. The food is tasty and homemade, made with care. The staff is super friendly and it feels very comfortable to have a meal here. Is like coming to our Bulgarian grandmother whrn we come here, we stock up in yogurt, cheese, lutenitsa and much more. Definitely worth it the 30 minutes drive.

Interesting and tasty Bulgarian food, something a bit different.

We were 7 people on restaurant. Every one absolutly loved everything they served

A few nights ago my partner and I ordered a selection of things from here as we were excited to try Bulgarian food for the first time. My partner chose the 'hamburger' which was not a hamburger, it was more like a small salty toastie. The chips and salad which came with it he said was very salty and not very good. I had a bean stew, which in my opinion was the highlight of the meal. It was flavoursome and hearty. The sausages and meats we chose were also fairly good, but a bit salty. We had ordered a selection of desserts, but the restaurant gave us five extra! That was a very kind touch. It was slightly annoying that we couldn't work which dessert was which as nothing was labelled, so we would not know what to order again. However, they were fairly interesting and yummy.

Very delicious homemade food! I highly recommend!

One of the best places to order from in Aberystwyth! It has a great variety of wickedly delicious and authentic Bulgarian cuisine!

Lovely homemade food and friendly staff. It’s great to have a new slightly different place like this in Aberystwyth.

Fantastic flavourful homemade food! This little family owned business is a must visit when traveling to Aber! The food is supper affordable and is absolutely delicious! Ive never tried bulgarian food before but after this i think i might have to visit the country! Great service and overall amazing experience. Would definitely recommend!!!
