Maasi's Cardiff in Cardiff

The staff and atmosphere are amazing. Options onnthe menu are good too. The reason for the 3 stars is the amount of oil in the food. Also, probably the worst lassi ive had. Tea was average. Wouldn't visit again. Is hallal though

I help out at Maasi's sometimes and would not do that if the owner is abusive. I have been helping out since they opened and we are a family, sometimes like all families there are raised voices. Get your facts straight before making inflammatory and untrue comments that have a negative impact on this business

I work at Maasi’s and can confirm that the owner is kind, generous and NOT abusive. There are times that mistakes are made and she deals with them in a calm manner and there are times when the same mistakes are repeated and like any family situation she will raise her voice. If you are in any doubt come and speak to the staff, we will all tell you the same!

The woman running the cafe is verbally abusive to her staff. A member of staff took an order to the wrong table, and the manager stormed into the kitchen and started shouting extremely aggressively at the member of staff for taking the food to the wrong table. Her shouting was very loud and easily heard by the entire cafe, it was a very uncomfortable experience. This was clearly an honest mistake and a system needs to be created to reduce the likelihood of it happening, not threatening your staff and intimidating them. I sincerely hope her staff are aware of their rights and that they can report this behaviour to the HSE and seek advice from ACAS. You do not have to tolerate bullying in the workplace. The food was good, your staff are your best asset, and the manager is the downfall and reason I will not be returning. Please consider your actions and the intimidating impact they are having on your staff and customers.

I was visiting my Brother and he took me here for breakfast and it was delicious! The Mango smoothie was 👌 the staff were very friendly and my 8 month old nephew enjoyed it too 😀

Outstanding experience. Food was fantastic as was the the service. What an absolute gem of a place. Will I be back??????? YES as often as possible. Thank you for such a great experience

Excellent meal,lovely people,only slight problem it was a little chilly

Been wishing to visit here for a while as it sounded just our type of place. So it proved to be. A lovely tastefully decorated cafe with a relaxed and informal atmosphere. My wife loved her paratha and I loved my lamb naan. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Had a lovely chat with Sabrina on leaving and loved the back story of her involvement. Definitely return.

We were really looking forward to trying food and a traditional chai from Maasi’s, unfortunately I was left disappointed with very watered down chai with no real flavour and quite a bland chicken Naanwich even though it was supposed to be spicy. The pakoras were ok but I’ve had a lot better from Cardiff restaurants near by. No welcoming or good bye from staff too.

We had lunch here today as a birthday treat. The food was absolutely delicious and a lovely warm friendly service. I would highly recommend this place to eat.

Shown as open on Google drove 15miles to find it closed. Instead of trying to get clever with customers on the Internet and being borderline rude use that time to update the opening hours on your Google page maasii !

I'm disappointed that i i drove to the restaurant which took over 30 minutes but it was closed. It says it is open on Sunday, but i guess that's not the case.

Absolutely delicious and authentic Pakistani food. The different dishes in the Taali were divine and the rotis fresh. We'd visit Cardiff again just to eat at this restaurant.

My husband and I are regulars at this restaurant, and we absolutely love their Keema Parathas and chai. It's become our go-to spot for a satisfying meal. The combination of flavorful parathas and a good cup of chai never disappoints, making it a reliable and enjoyable dining experience for us.The nostalgic ambience of this place is like a trip down memory lane, evoking warm feelings reminiscent of home.

Absolutely loved it here! I visited a while ago but had one of the naan-wiches that was stunning. Planning to revisit for some more delicious authentic food!

It was amazing inside. So beautiful and the most beautiful teapots I've ever seen. I asked the lady where she got them and she said it was from Pakistan.

Friendly welcome. Tasty, good value food

Great coffee and lovely lemon cake

Lovely atmosphere food lovely .unfortunately it was really cold .Should have turned heating up .but still a lovely place.parking a bit of an issue .

Great and authentic Indian food

If you’ve read reviews of this place believe it, the owner Sabrina Khan and her team of honest home cooks are serving great food and a lovely atmosphere. There’s no pressure to eat if you just fancy a cuppa but when you see the food coming out it’s not long before you’re looking at the menu!. The host served us with honesty and humour and we were never rushed so others could come in. Although it’s advertised as a cafe they do an evening curry club a few times a month which apparently is very popular and really good value for the price.

Enjoyed the food, loved the ambience and satisfied with the service.

Food was lovely, good taste and portion size. Service was friendly and polite. Atmosphere was relaxed.

Very nice restaurant. Authentic home made taste. My 3 year old daughter was ordered paratha with nutella and ate every single piece which is a first! Love it ❤️

Met up with friends & had a lovely couple of hours at Massi's. Very welcoming & food was lovely too, will defo be returning.

An unusual lunch venue- really enjoyed this award winning restaurant

Terribly disappointed. I arranged to meet 4 friends at the cafe for lunch on Wednesday 25 October, but it was closed. Simply ridiculous.

Tried the aloo and lamb kheema parathas here for breakfast and they were pretty good (aloo was better) It was served with pickle and curd so definitely had that desi touch. The tea was a let down though.

Amazing, tasty food in a lovely atmosphere, never disappoints

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the curry night at Maasi's. The food was exceptional and very reasonably priced.

Good Pakistani food. We had the stuffed parathas, samosas and the chai and it was all good.

Absolutely delightful dining experience. Amazing food and service. Definitely one of the best in Cardiff

Delicious food, great service. Can’t wait to go again.

Turned up Friday at 10:30 for breakfast it stated 9:30 open, door locked no update

Wow Amazing place to have breakfast 😋 proper desi breakfast, Big portion and tasty, we stayed 2 days in Wales and both days we had breakfast at Maasi's, Excellent customer service, I will recommend to everyone and I will go back again whenever I will visit Wales.. which I can't wait !!!

A great family style experience at Maasis, from the hospitality to the service , it was 5*. Fresh food and good vibes. We came as a big group and was difficult to accommodate but they managed so easily for us. Would recommend this to everybody 👌

Delicious food. Will definitely recommend

Absolutely phenomenal food and service!! Any time we travel to Wales we will always come to maasi's for breakfast! So friendly and genuine and a little slice of home cooking!!

Nice place for nashta. We arrived closer to closing time but the staff was very friendly and they still served us patiently. Not fan of their fried things (pakora/samosa) and they looked like to have been double fried (old fried again). Lala's eggs and paratha were great. Eggy bread was ok and sausage/paratha/scrambled eggs were okish. Rating ok as their prices are high as compared to taste. Tea was good. Toilets spotless clean. Very friendly staff and owner

We went for brunch, the café was quiet but the weather was poor. I had an amazing breakfast nanwhitch with spicy egg and beans on a soft nann. The hash browns were lovely and crunchy and I even enjoyed the vegan sausage. The orange juice was the freshest I've had in a long time. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and I love the story of the cafés beginning. This was a lovely place to have a late breakfast or brunch. I'm looking forward to going back.

Delicious, authentic food from Pakistan, can't recommend it highly enough

Easily one of my favourite lunches. We definitely will be coming back.

Unusual place, a friends recommendation thought it would be worth a visit, coffee was nice, the food was very pricey, small round nan bread with 1 eggs, 1 small sausage and I mean small, a table spoon of very thinly sliced mushrooms, what seem to be a potato friter may be wrong on that, and a some spicy beans, all for £9, place was on the quite side. Not be running back there o'r 🚶‍♂️ walking for that matter.

Food was amazing (had a Thali), service was friendly and accommodating, atmosphere relaxed and informal. Looking forward to trying other menus in future.

The Mega Thali was so good!! The chicken was seasoned to perfection. The breads were all hot and fresh. We loved all of the pickles and mango chutney etc! The people are very friendly and the atmosphere is chilled. They were also playing cool tunes. I loved the decoration on the wall. The price is affordable and good for what you get. I can definitely see why they have recently won an award. I will deffo return for curry club!

What a gem. Have only had the naanwich’s for lunch. The keema aloo is delicious.

Possibly the best Pakistani ‘home cooked’ cafe/restaurant in wales. Would definitely recommend the dish called Lala’s Eggs. I was given a ‘Roti Roll’ by the owner as a kind of taste-test and can positively say I’m wiping the drool from the corner of my mouth as I’m typing this 😭

Amazing experience, start to finish, definitely coming back for more yummy food 😋

Authentic and delicious Pakistani food. We had the stuffed parathas which were 👌🏽. Hoping this will be a regular haunt for us. 🐶 friendly too.

Popped in for Sunday lunch. We had mega thal for 2. Absolutely stunning highly recommend … 15 seperate but delicious bowls to sample ….can’t wait for curry night which they do monthly

Best child family friendly place in Cardiff Auténtic food

Smiling service, gorgeous food sat outside with friends😎

I can't leave enough stars for this beautiful place!! The food was cooked to perfection and honestly delicious. I had Lala's eggs - I don't think I've ever had scrambled eggs cooked so well and spiced with such well-rounded flavour. Each bite leaving me wanting more and more. Don't get me started on the mango and coconut kulfi - absolutely sensational. The flavourful food, cute and down to earth decoration and extremely friendly service will keep me coming back for more! Can't wait to be back :)

Came to Cardiff for the weekend and ate here for breakfast. It was truly delicious! My wife and I both loved what we ordered. For me it started with largely debating what I was going to order because everything looked so good. I went for a chai, the shakshouka, and wrapped up with sweet paratha with coconut/mango kulfi. Everything was homemade and the flavors were put together beautifully! I will 100% come back when I’m in the area again.

Nice breakfast, service a bit slow. Will go back for curry night.

This is a proper hidden gem and deserves to have people queuing out of the door! The discreet front door and sign opens into a warmly decorated cafe area serving breakfast and lunches. The very friendly owner explained that they also do an evening curry club on prearranged evenings, and we will absolutely be back for this, as well for more breakfasts and lunches. The food was wonderful and Maasi’s is a superb and different addition to Cardiff’s existing excellent cafe culture and range of options.

Have to say what a lovely place we booked the back hall for a birthday surprise, the food the venue the staff were first class, very friendly understanding and helpful and accommodating, great evening, thank you.

Always love the food and fantastic friendly service.

Fantastic lucky find, delicious and authentic. Great for breakfast

I went to massis few weeks ago The omlette was dripping with oil Also the halwa was extremely burnt When I contacted them on insta they gave me a dead reply with no apology

As a regular to Maasis I find the review from Jones Adam odd and a total load of rubbish! Maasis not only serves wonderful food, but the service is amazing. You always receive a warm and friendly welcome, all staff bend over backwards to accommodate customer needs where they can. Maasis is child friendly and the front of house staff will always suggest food options, offer high chairs if required and even supply kid friendly cutlery. The review given can only be described as spiteful and by somebody who believes it is acceptable to try and destroy an independent business. There are clearly some very sad people in the world that are unable keep their children under control, take no responsibility and pass blame.

At a private evening event last night, Maasi's looked sparkly and inviting as if walking into the fairy tale of One Thousand and One Nights. The tastiest Pakistani food I have ever tasted, with an original twist by Mistress Chef and owner Sabrina Khan, previously a teacher. 'It is made with love', she told us while describing the ingredients of our dishes, and she was right. Have you noticed that 'love' is often the missing ingredient when eating out. Isn't it? I cannot wait to taste her famous brunches and special Sunday lunch 🦄🌼

This place is very child friendly, I was there when two young children were running up and down the cafe shouting and screaming. This was very off putting and we had to move tables. The owner dealt with it very professionally. A great place with stunning food

Bendigedig- lovely, tasty, well presented, quick.

Very rude woman shouting at a woman and her newborn and kids , I will make sure this gets to the news what I witnessed

Ambience of the cafe is top notch, food is amazing, all authentic Pakistani freshly cooked & piping hot, the staff are always very friendly & polite

We recently had a party catered for and our guests loved the amazing food. It was so easy dealing with Sabrina and team in making arrangements. Highly recommend to anyone holding an event. Thank you

786. O.M.G. What a wonderful place for a family and friends Function! You walk inside and something warm engulfs you! You're welcomed by a Beautiful Family of ladies, who have Decorated it out , I haven't seen anything like it anywhere! After eating different foods made in the 2 kitchens, to the rear. ( That I must say, we're spotless !) We were served sweet dishes something for everyone's taste and we ended the meal , with any beverage that took your fancy. I had Black Coffee no sugar. This place is part of an old Church,so has a very large Hall at the rear of kitchens erea, which is used for Function ( Xmas Dinner s . Wedding Parties ). Or you can just pop in for a Cuppa or a meal Anytime!

First time in mass,si i had a breakfast which was very nice different from a normal english breakfast but it was stunning will be going back again in 2weeks and you must try the lemon drizzle cake its baked freshly in the kitchen stunning

Excellent. Fast and friendly service, decent range of great food.

Love Maasi’s, been for breakfast a few times which I would highly recommend and just been to the curry club tonight. Absolutely delicious food, generous portion sizes and extremely friendly and welcoming team. Can’t wait to come back again!

Food was tasty, atmosphere was lovely but the service was a bit slow

I visited this location yesterday, and the front-desk staff member was extremely unwelcoming, saying things like, "Go have a seat wherever you like," and "Gross Attitude." I later had samosa chat, which was overpriced at £9 and only included a minimal 3-4 samosas. The only saving grace was the lady who served us, who was sweet and kind . Highly disappointed.

Visited from london and decided to go for a authentic Pakistani breakfast and it didn't disappoint. Food was lovely and the hospitality was even better. Lovely staff and chefs who came across very polite and welcoming! Definitely a place to visit.

I was in Cardiff today and decided to try Masai’s Kitchen as I had heard such brilliant reviews about it, well I can say it did not disappoint. The food was cooked to perfection, and tasted scrumptious, the owner took time out of her way to sit and chat to us and was very attentive. The decor and ambiance is very inviting and I will definitely pop in again when next in Wales.

Scrumptious food, attentive friendly service. Really a place to visit.

Beautiful desi breakfast… home away from home … the food is always delicious no matter what we have… slowly going through all the menu … love all the decor as well

Had a fantastic brunch. Such a nice place . Great smoothies and good service. The shashika and spicy Chicken Naan were delicious. Will definitely be back.

Absolute gem of a place, popped in on way back to Birmingham which has a lot of desi breakfast places and this is easily on par with the best in terms of food quality, however the decor, cleanliness and service is the best we hve experienced. We tried Lalas eggs, the Go-Pi paratha, samosas and desi tea. Will be making this a permanent stop each time we are in Cardiff! Thank you

Truly amazing food and very welcoming staff.

Delicious food, served with a friendly smile. Well worth a visit.

As always, great welcome, great food. And now, a new menu with delicious new items to sample!

Absolutely loved the food and experience! Me and my family just moved from England to wales and we’re looking for a Pakistani/Indian breakfast place and Maasis came up the reviews and photos look really good so we decided to go for breakfast/brunch. First off the customer service was brilliant staff are so friendly and the outside is very cute and chic. The food was cooked perfectly and that sounds odd but nothing was undercooked or over cooked even the sausage and egg was perfect the whites down to the yolk. My husband has a naandwich which he said was delicious looked nice and sauces to me too! Will definitely be bringing other family members back with me. The owner was super friendly and even gave us a sample of pakore to try tasted amazing too ! Can’t wait to go back.

Our third visit now and the food is always delicious. Food and drinks have always been lovely. Staff are helpful and friendly. The food is so tasty. Another visit will definitely be on the cards soon x

Ok la serveuse est sympa mais cela ne suffit pas ! N’a pas écouté nos suggestions à savoir nous voulions des plats pas épicés ! Et bien c’était très très épicés servi avec un chai réchauffé et très mauvais. Non je ne recommande pas du tout ce restaurant.

Amazing cafe. Friendly staff. I've been to plenty of Asian cafes. What makes this place stand out if that the food is all homemade and tastes delicious. No shop bought parathas. Proper pakistani home cooking. Will definitely be going again regularly.

Loved the breakfast naanwich. Also the shakshuka and drinks options. Will visit again sometime

Absolutely delicious meal. Really great service. Curry club runs twice a month. Will definitely be returning.

So friendly and welcoming, and the food is soooooo tasty! I was lucky enough to get in for a couple of the evening supper club nights so got to taste some of the speciality Pakistani dishes: the kebabs, kofta curry, paneer nibbles, filled puri, pakora curry...I could go on but I'll just make you hungry! Make sure you look in at the weekend for Lala's eggs too 🥰

Lovely, friendly place who love their dogs and take good care of your dogs. Mine was very anxious and fights when she haves her nails done but they still done it. Good price aswell

Absolutely 5 stars and more! Excellent food and very friendly service. Thank you. We shall return!

Having owned my own restaurant for 3 years, I understand the pressure and stress that's involved. I don't expect to walk into a restaurant that has it's opening hours on Google and Facebook, with no special changes made for a special occasion. To be greeted with a person clearly not coping and having no customer service skills, to be told to get out, as there is a private function. My advice would be, to put a sign on your restaurant door letting customers know there is a private function going on. Just because the door says closed means nothing, alot of shop owners forget to turn the sign to open/closed on the door. Also I would advise for you to change your attitude too, doesn't hurt to smile and be nice, especially when you are clearly the owner/manager of the restaurant.

Did the crime of walking into door while they were having a private function, Massi came out of kitchen very furious with an attitude that it says close on door so leave now. Wouldn’t bother coming back here.

Lovely late lunch and a very good smoothie too

Visited for the first time for brunch. Our little girl was very busy and wanted to walk about and the venue was very lovely about it. Coffee was excellent. My wife had the full breakfast with Paratha and I had Lala’s eggs. Both delicious. Little one had sausage, scrambled eggs, hash brown on a Paratha. Lovely, relaxed place with delicious food and a good welcome. Highly recommend.

Have wanted to try Masai’s for a bit. I certainly wasn’t disappointed when I finally went for brunch. My banoffe hot chocolate is still spoke about and the eggy bread is still dreamt about. I was excited at the drinks selection - had to get two drinks - it was too tempting not to. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, tasty food, yummy drinks a perfect brunch spot!

Incredible food and great service. Authentic Pakistani cuisine.. it’s absolutely stunning! Personal fave is the chicken naanwich, but the whole menu is lush! Would highly recommend! Staff can’t do enough for you!

Very nice restaurant and amazing stuff

Great food, great service. A unique offering, which sets this place apart from the run of the mill Cafés. A must visit when in Vic Park area.

I've visited a few times and the food is amazing, very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Varied menu choices, my last visit was to try out the new Sunday Lunch menu, omg it was absolutely stunning, nicest food I've had in a long time.
