longa turkish café in Cardiff

Amazing Turkish food and friendly staff

Favourite place to have breakfast. Lovely staffs served freshly cooked halal turkish dishes. Highly recommended.

Just got back from my first ever brunch at Longa - absolutely delicious eggs and sucuk with cortado coffee - highly recommended!

Great service Beautiful fresh food Would recommend

Delicious delicious food, great value and excellent service. Love this place! The menemen and the simit in particular are excellent

Best brunch place in Cardiff. Delicious food and lovely staff. A real gem.

Delicious fresh food, attractive surroundings, and pleasant, helpful staff. I visited in the evening and now lunchtime, both were great. At lunchtime, we had the Turkish breakfast, which was amazing. Highly recommended.

The food is delicious but if you order the ultimate breakfast for two the bread won't be enough and they charge you over £3 for a quarter of plain bread! The most expensive plain bread. Other middle Eastern and Turkish places do not chatge for bread and if they do is not that expensive.

We stopped by Longa Cafe on the way back home to London and had such a warm welcome. Service was amazing and the food was perfection! Could not recommend more - thank you!

This is probably our favourite restaurant in Cardiff. Delicious Turkish style breakfast, the food quality is always excellent, friendly and helpful staff. Edited: the price on the anatolian has blown up so much that we no longer come regularly. We used to come 1 / 2 times a month but now it's gotten too expensive for us to justify. It's a shame as it used to be my favourite but now we can't justify the price.

Tried this place out twice after coming across their IG page. In conclusion I would say it’s not bad. Was better the first time. Claims to be a Turkish inspired menu.. bread that was served was plain and old and their olives in particular were very average. Too much oil was used for the eggs. Very pricey for what you get. Try it for yourself but I won’t be going back again.

So expensive for canned tomatoes.. not enough bread given for 2 portions then charged £3 extra for old hard bread. Won’t recommend

We went for dinner on Saturday night. Lovely atmosphere in the cafe. We opted for a couple of starters followed by the Eastern delight platter. Everything was delicious and fresh. Wonderful non-alcoholic cocktails too. Service was great and all very reasonably priced. We had a great night and can’t wait to go back!

This café is a true gem with a warm, inviting atmosphere, thanks to its sunlit windows, ambient music and stylish decor. The staff is so very friendly and attentive, and the food is consistently delicious, making it a place you'll want to return to again and again! A delightful spot for any occasion.

Upon entering this charming little Cafe, I think I must have said the word ‘Wow’ at least 30 times. From the food, to the absolutely excellent homely service provided, I saw no faults whilst having the pleasure of dining here. Our party of 5 (including some slightly picky eaters) were fully satisfied and beyond. Thank you so much for a great start to the day ❤️

I was disappointed with the restaurant; unfortunately, this was not my first time experiencing this. The prices keep increasing, and the quality is not what it used to be.

Great cafe , will be coming back

Came to try their new dinner menu and was not disappointed. What an incredible meal, absolutely delicious. Lovely staff and atmosphere as well

Had a lovely evening here. Delicious food and nothing was too much trouble for the pleasant staff. Everything was freshly prepared and presented in an attractive way.

Honestly best place in Cardiff! They’re so amazing and time and time again the service is excellent. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Delicious food and lovely staff, glad that I visited there

Really nice food - so many egg options. Great atmosphere and services too. Hotly recommended.

Foods always really good, super friendly service. The gozleme is excellent

Rubbish place ,very bad service

Although I don’t know the names of the bread, the staff here explained to me patiently The bread was soft and hot so that I enjoyed the texture very much.

One of the best brunch places in Cardiff. The food is absolutely superb and the menu has something for everyone. Great portion sizes and a bustling energy to the place. You won't leave hungry! A must-visit if you're in Cardiff.

Always has such good food, unique to other restaurants

Great service, nice atmosphere and really nice food for a good price. Tens only season.

Eggs and potato dish was incredible!! Will definitely be back :)

I've been meaning to try this place for a while, largely because of the lovely food smells I catch when I'm walking by. It did not disappoint. There's a fairly extensive menu with some great, traditional Turkish food and drink and a warm welcome from the staff. Very reasonably priced given the quality of the food!

Fantastic food, beautifully presented, staff very efficient and friendly. Worth every penny, will definitely be returning.

Don't recommend this cafe....Extremely disappointed with the service, the waiter kept giving us sad looks not the place to take ur family to food wasn't all that. Not worth the money. Won't be returning

The worst experience, won't be back. Extremely disappointed

Longa is a lovely restaurant the food is amazing. I can excpecially recommend the Turkish eggs which I am obsessed with. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and efficient. There were 17 of us in our party that dinned at longa and we all left this lovely restaurant very happy. I highly recommend it.

Best place for brunch in Cardiff

Fantastic little cafe. Great coffee, food delicious and beautifully presented, and very friendly helpful service. Menu full of tempting dishes will definitely return for another breakfast. Highly recommended.

It was much better than what was described in the photo, you are amazing, it was the best menemen I have ever eaten in my life, we loved it, 100 points

Delicious turkish food and lovely staff.

Beautiful Turkish breakfasts, with servings of bread. Served perfectly. Finally booked a table and got to visit here and it was so worth the wait. I posted for the shakshuka which was incredibly Smokey with perfectly baked eggs, and a portion size that is more than enough for the biggest appetites. It's fantastic that the staff provided attentive and friendly service.Probably one of the best breakfast.

Food and drinks were brilliant, fast service and lovely staff. Savory breakfast dishes were nice but photo added of the pancakes as they were so aesthetic and tasty!

Always try and visit this place when in Cardiff, traditional Turkish menu with great coffee done properly.

We came today for a belated Father’s Day brunch! Wow! Amazing experience. We will be back. Good luck on your new venture!

Everything from start to finish great. Reasonable prices and very friendly team. If I be picky as a recommendation maybe olives could be more selective and couple of different extra cheese types such as izmir tulum with gevrek would be fantastic 😊

Longa is my favourite place to have brunch! It’s got the best food! Such lovely welcoming staff! 100% tastiest Turkish food in Cardiff!

Popped in to Longa on Saturday afternoon, really enjoyed the visit, I had a lovely smit bread sandwich which is a Turkish style sesame bread, it was a really nice sandwich full of flavour. Coffee was great to and a nice place to sit and eat and chill out. Will defiantly visit again to try some more of the items on a really good menu.

Thanks to Soroush for his hospitality.😍😍😍

Went with my family yesterday we had Aegeon breakfast absolutely beautiful all fresh and so so tasty 😋 been thinking about it today lovely service and quick reminded of back home Will definitely go back amazing coffee too thank you ❤️

The best Cilbir I’ve ever had! I adore coming here with my partner for brunch :)

The food was beautifully presented and extremely flavoursome. The staff were pleasant , helpful and attentive without being intrusive. We look forward to coming back to sample the breakfasts.

Well worth a visit for the new evening menu also, which was fantastic (recommend the Sultans Delight beef stew!). Atmosphere and service has lovely as in the daytime too

Absolutely wonderful experience. Amazing food, superb service.

Absolutely stunning food and great portion sizes. We've been coming for the past couple years and have yet to finish everything on our plates. It's great for sharing a meal or indulging in a platter all by yourself. They've just started doing dinners, and though a bit pricier then brunch, SO worth it! 😋😋😋

Very friendly staff. Food was great as was the service. Definately coming back.

Food was good service was terrrrrrible, attitude on the lady servers. Maybe they were busy for eid but still disgusting attitude.

Lovely Food and place 🥚🍖🥖 Friendly staff 💕 Play good music 🎵 Had a lovely Breakfast 🍳 Recommend ❤️

10/10! During our weekend trip to Cardiff, we were on the hunt for a nice spot to enjoy breakfast and came across Longa Cafe. It was a delightful experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were incredibly polite, friendly, and accommodating. Despite not having a reservation, they were able to fit us in on a busy Sunday. A very special thanks to Sorush. We enjoyed it so much that we returned the next day to try more items from the menu. I only wish this cafe was in Manchester so we could visit more often. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cardiff. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

The only thing I have to say is just go there and eat. It's amazing, lovely food and the staff are great as well.

Had a wonderful lunch with my partner. Food was exceptional and very reasonable. Staff were all lovely. Atmosphere relaxed and place clean and bright. Iced mocha was 10/10. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

10/10 perfect for breakfast and the bread is amazing! already can’t wait to come back :)

An absolutely superb brunch this am ❤️

Great breakfast 😍 We ordered the dish for two people with tea and it was delicious

Without a doubt one of the best breakkie spots in Cardiff. First time at Longa did not disappoint. We’ll be coming back! So delicious

I’ve wanted to try this place for ages, having seen pictures of their amazing breakfasts. After so much anticipation, I was thrilled that Longa lived up to my expectations. They managed to find space for us on a busy Sunday despite us not having booked in advance, and all staff were smiley and helpful. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food is second to none. I would recommend this place to anyone; I intend to visit every time we are in Cardiff! Longa is absolutely fantastic, first rate.

Just had one of the nicest, freshest and most authentic lunches I’ve had in a long while. What a little gem to find, great food served by passionate people with a smile.

Super café. The food is delicious and the staff are really friendly. Would like to try some other stuff from the menu but I always end up going back to the same thing because it's so delicious!

We had a nice brunch this morning and enjoyed the eggs and potatoes. However, the menemen was too salty for our taste. The pancakes were quite small, and the cups for the iced coffee were also on the smaller side. It would have been nice if they offered sauces or condiments with the meals.

Always fantastic service and food whenever we go

We just spent 10days eating our way through Cardiff and visited Longa yesterday, on our last day. The staff were so friendly, welcoming, super attentive and very accommodating with our large group with 5 under 5yrs old. We ordered the Anatolian, shakshuka and pastries and they were all amazing - The coffee is incredible too. By far the best meal we had on our trip, only downside is that we had it on our last day as we would have loved to return again!!!

Delicious, Michael the egg don't usually like eggs, but, the eggs that he had, he said were delicious.

Food is always incredible, staff very friendly and well priced!

Everytime I travel to Cardiff I just have to stop at this amazing restaurant. Love the food ,the service is always great an welcoming and its just a great atmosphere.

Well worth a visit! beautiful authentic food, reasonably priced and lovely relaxed atmosphere

I was on an international trip, eating Turkish food all month and briefly visited Wales half way in. This place, however , hands-down had the best Turkish breakfast+ I have ever eaten in my life of eating Turkish breakfast, Also some of the top 50 Turkish foods I’ve ever eaten. I had a great time with two of my old friends and the service was nice and the food was intricate, and every part of the meal was worth sharing and I am here to come and get it if I ever come to this part of the world again. Thank you guys so much and if you can only go to one or two places while you’re in town, I recommend this be one of them, it’s clearly a town favorite, so I recommend coming earlier than you think. Kind souls seem to work there too on the day I Went in February, the manager/owner I think, some gal with a cool giraffe tattoo, and wholesome guy named Josh - many of the staff had been familliar with both wear and Turkish culture for years so that was super interesting.

Worth a visit. Fabulous food and very friendly attentive staff. Hope to go again soon

Amazing donut, quality coffee and friendly staff. Take cash too.

Everything was good I like the restaurant and the atmosphere

Always a treat to visit Longa! Great food, wonderful hostess and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended for a great breakfast/brunch ☺️☺️

The most delicious place for having turkish breakfast or brunch, very friendly staffs, good service and great atmosphere. If you are interested in turkish breakfast i highly recommend longa cafe for having a great and lovely time there.

Amazing food quality and very polite staff, definitely recommended.

Not only was the food absolutely great, but really authentic as well. You can tell they put a lot of care into top quality ingredients and the staff are beyond friendly as well. Great spot for brunch!

We absolutely loved Longa cafe. The food was incredible, so much variety and the staff were so friendly and happy to tell us about their culture and food. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you.

Longa is one of my favourite restaurants to visit. The food is consistently delicious, well presented and plentiful! And the staff are so welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend!

Delicious food, one of the best places I ever eaten

Proper authentic Turkish place. Food is very tasty. Very limited seating and somehow away from city centre with limited parking HOWEVER food is worth it. Also they will be opening another place close to town. ReLly worth a try

A very excellent and quiet place with halal and delicious food. They have breakfast and I liked the place and they also have wife free

We were in Cardiff for holiday searched for breakfast we decided to go , we didn’t booked a table but was luck to got a table because it was fully packed. It was a wonderful and delicious experience. I will definitely recommend to everyone to have breakfast there , it delicious and traditional Turkish cuisine. But do book your reservation before.

We stumbled upon this place yesterday and I'm so glad we did. What a beautiful restaurant/cafe. So much attention to detail in the menu and presentation. The food was absolutely incredible - so tasty!!! Highly recommend the sharing board for two with the shakshuka. Staff were lovely and food was served quickly.

Lovely atmosphere and superb Turkish breakfast! The food was all so flavoursome and fresh

Very busy at peak times so definitely worth booking. Great vegetarian options and happy to cater to vegan requirements too. Delicious food and always good service.

Food was delicious I'd never eaten a Turkish breakfast before but can highly recommend one now. It took only a short while to arrive and was fantastic. The coffee was also very smooth and tasted great. 👌

10/10 flavours on the shakshuka 👌🏻 such great food all round!

Absolute star of Cardiff brunch. Large platters of excellent Turkish inspired food with a seemingly endless array of jams, dips and cheese. Make sure you try a sharing platter for brunch or lunch. Family run and always busy. You normally have to book on a weekend.

Food is hearty and full of flavors. Definitely worth to re-visit.

Been meaning to try here for literally years, but just never got the opportunity as they always seem to be fully booked until late afternoon if you call the same morning for a table. Nice quiet restaurant with a few small tables. Very intimate setting. Was lucky last weekend and got a table. The service was excellent, and the food was beyond delicious. Turkish bread was moreish. Highly recommend the menemen and cheesy beefy scramble. Will most certainly be back if we can get a table!

Delicious food. Simit bread was so tasty, eggs cooked perfectly. Beautiful presentation of food. Friendly service. Great prices too.

Absolutely delicious food and great coffee 😃

Not the most traditional Turkish breakfast. Extremely overpriced aswell for cheap ingredients. Bread is also served COLD! My Turkish family was not impressed. Didn’t catch the autheic turk feel.

Longa Turkish Cafe has become my go-to spot for a delightful Turkish breakfast. Definitely the best breakfast, shaksuka and coffee in Cardiff. The flavors are rich and authentic, showcasing the true essence of Turkish cuisine. The service is impeccable—friendly staff who go above and beyond to make your experience memorable. If you're a fan of great food and exceptional service, Longa is the place to be!

Absolutely delighted with the best breakfast experience in Cardiff! Attentive and friendly staff, unique tastes...

Absolutely delighted with the best breakfast experience in Cardiff!
