Miss Jones Canton in Cardiff

Very nice welcoming. The food is amazing. The staff were very kind and great with the children. The food was full of flavour. Lovely presentation. Service was very quick. Overall a lovely experience.

South Indian. Chicken 65 Dosa Thali Fish curry Great place. Not UK Indian, South Indian! Daughter smashed glass, forgot teddy (Saturday afternoon) all good, waiter never stopped smiling

We love this place, we get good chicken briyani and Chilli chicken, We love the chicken briyani, we get very good amount of briyani, 2 people can share it, definitely one cannot finish the full box. Recently noticed the Chilli chicken quantity is very less for the price and it's too sweet. Can be improved.

Lovely food and good size portions, will definitely order from you again.

This restaurant exceeded all expectations! The waiter was so friendly and helpful, recommending dishes that turned out to be absolutely perfect. The food was outstanding! We ordered the chicken jhalfrezi curry which was rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Our other dish, chicken biryani, was aromatic and delicious. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. I highly recommend this place and hope to be back soon!

I had a fantastic experience at Mattancherry Canton. The waiter suggested a perfect combination of dishes and took great care in making sure everything was just right. The biryani, especially, was incredibly flavorful with its rich spices—it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also wonderful, creating a relaxing and enjoyable environment. With great food and excellent service, it was truly an unforgettable evening. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Mattancherry offers delicious, authentic food at excellent prices, with thoughtful suggestions and advice from the staff. A perfect spot for a satisfying and well-guided dining experience!

Great food, wonderful staff. Becoming one of my favourite places.

excellent service, very friendly staff

Lovely food and service as always - great value with the fork 50% off too!

This is our go to restaurant for something special. Outstanding food every time. See you soon

The food here is so well perfected, the presentation is beautifully simple and the vibes are great.

Welcoming host. Delicious dosa and curries

Family visit was great value food

Biryani and railway curry were very tasty. The saag was ok but there was not much meat in it.

Brilliant food and wonderful host. We always go back there!

Bright and cheerful little place with lovely staff offering a nice menu of Keralan specialities. Prices are also competitive. Will definitely return.

Always fantastic..highly recommend.

Although delivered a bit late, the food was delicious. Railway lamb curry is a must try !

Lovely cafe style restaurant on Cowbridge Road. A really varied and unusual menu, with very friendly staff and fantastic service. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and will definitely return - recommended.

The food was lovely genuine Indian food, the service excellent. This is a rather simple looking restaurant by the looks of it, but it is easy to recommend it highly!

Exceptional food very special definitely recommend

Friendly, chatty staff, bustling atmosphere and amazing flavours.

Ordered a takeaway, but food arrived 40 mins late. I called after 25 mins and they said it would be another 5mins when in fact it was 15. No surprise the food was stone cold on arrival. Food was tasty but the starters and potota probably didn’t fare well after having to be microwaved. Shame as I had high expectations.

Fabulous food and the staff are wonderful. Highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful food, prepared and served by people who really cared . A truly lovely dining experience.

Another fabulous, hot, tasty meal delivered on time. Excellent quality. Thank you again.

The owner/manager that served our table was just lovely! He was friendly, professional, thoughtful and attentive. He remembered what we had ordered last time and he had great suggestions for the wine and the food...and the food was amazing! I love the paneer curries there and the atmosphere! Highly recommended!

delicious food, reminded me of when i went to kerala earlier in the summer! we had the thali and it was all delicious - the highlight for me was the onion bhajis, by far the best ive ever had, and the service was attentive and friendly

Outstanding food, friendly service, nice vibe restaurant. Highly recommended.

Great food, fantastic service, really good value worth a visit

Disappointed doesn’t sum up my experience unfortunately, after reading all the great reviews I placed an order for delivery, this turned up 50 minutes late, with a missing dish of chicken korma, tried ringing restaurant, call kept getting diverted. Will not order again

First time having delivery. Food was restaurant quality and hot and fresh when delivered. Thank you.

This was sooo good, even better than we expected. Will definitely be back. 100% from the veggie/vegan people

Fantastic food and service. Looking for a late night dinner, we were super late walk in and they still accommodated us. We’ve been meaning to try here for ages and we weren’t disappointed. The menu is extensive and the dishes are flavoursome. A must visit when in Canton!

Very tasty food, high quality and tender lamb and chicken.

Wonderful food and service. My son's first curry for about 6 months and he loved it. You can tell this is a fab place by the number of repeat diners.

Pleasant staff welcome and service, quirky rustic interior

Had a very nice meal. Had samosa chat and chicken lollipop for starters, would give that a 5 and a 4 respectively. The Syrian beef curry was a 4.5 and the prawn Manga curry a 5. Kerela parrota was a 4 and so was the masala dosa. Will definitely visit again

Always great food and lovely service. You can tell they really care about what they are doing.

Fab food, friendly service. Will definitely be back

Superb food as always - a hidden gem with so many repeat customers

Extrem freundliche Bedienung. Wir haben uns auf die Vorschläge des Chefs eingelassen und das Essen war super lecker! Egal, ob es die vegetarischen Sachen waren oder die mit Hühnchen. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis! Vielen Dank

Authentic Indian food cooked to perfection and served with a smile. Will definitely be going back 😁

Fantastic food and warm and welcoming place, with wonderful service.

1st time here Saturday, Can't wait to return. The tastiest Indian food I have had in a long time. Great choice of the usual authentic dishes like biryiani etc but I loved the Thali and fusion dishes for something a little different. The most lovely, friendly staff make this place a hidden gem. Worth every penny. Thank you 😁

Fantastic service, the best food ever. I'm pleased that I live close by, I'm a regular visitor

Wonderful welcome, service and food

Helpful recommendations and a delicious meal.

Wonderful food and amazing service. Will be back

This was our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint. Food was delicious. Lots of flavours and portion size is just right. Host offered us to try a different take on the starter looked deli and was very tasty. Not my personal choice but still pretty and tasty. Reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend this little gem in Canton

Staff was really helpful and friendly. I gave only 4 stars as there was nothing on the menu for people who do not eat spicy food. I asked for a recommendation of which dish was not spicy and the one chosen still made my eyes water. I normally don't eat spicy food and usually there is at least a couple of dishes in Indian restaurants that I can eat.

I don't usually leave reviews but they deserve one! The host is fantastic. He's always bubbly and talkative and kind. He gives recommendations for what would give with each dish and the food is always really good. We've been a couple times, had different dishes, and really enjoyed it. Good vegetarian and gluten free options.

Had a perfect Lunch with my friends,so calm and good atmosphere with sweet lovely melodies songs and food was so delicious..especially Fish thali and Masala dosa.. service also fantastic...will recommend

From the moment we walked in we were warmly welcomed and given a tour of the restaurant and the garden dining area. Mattancherry did not disappoint, we opted to share starters so ordered 4 between 4 of us, Lollipop Chicken - wow, idli Chaat simply delicious, we fancied a Bhaji Basket but Ram recommended a Masala Dosa, superb and a Samosa Ragada Chaat. Sharing the starters made the whole experience so much more social, plus we all got to taste such a great variety of food. The flavours made our mouths “zing” we could pick out cardamoms, Cinamon, cumin, coconut, lime, mango a meadley of flavours that really complimented each other. I opted for a Nadan Chicken Curry, I said I really enjoyed spicy flavoursome food, Ram suggested I had ordered the wrong dish and the Syrian Beef Curry would be a better option, it was stunning. We will definitely be making a return visit. A rustic authentic Indian restaurant offering great value for money

Delicious meal, great vegetarian options and children's menu also available...very attentive staff who went above and beyond. Thank you for a lovely meal to celebrate our anniversary, we can't wait to come back!

Went as we were aiming to go for the Korean restaurant across the road but that was closed for holidays so thought we would give Mattancherry a try. Glad we did. Food was really good, as was the service. Food was so full of flavour and tater really authentic like I’ve had in India. Will certainly go back.

First time I have visited with friends and I only wish I had been before. The service and food was fantastic. South Indian food is superb and must be sampled. I have never been an Indian food person but now I'm definitely a south Indian food person. Definitely recommend

My husband and I stumbled across this place and are so lucky we did! All the food was fresh, flavoursome, authentic and delicious. We both agreed it was the best fish curry we've had. Lovely staff and a really nice atmosphere inside. Highly recommend this place, we will definitely come back!

Had a great dinner here a week or so ago. The food is incredible and the service is brilliant. He recommended some dishes for us and really looked after us well. We'll be back!

Have been here few times. Great food and excellent service.I would definitely recommend this place.

Food was delicious, garden was lovely Very clean nice ambience

Much better than your standard curry house, with traditional Indian dishes that you don't find in mainstream restaurants. Some amazing flavours and textures in the dishes that we had, I would happily go here again and again! Indeed, now been nearly a dozen times just this year! Edit: we do keep going again and again, the food is that good!

Worst 😡😡😡😡😡. I never seen in my life this kind of discusting food. Tomato paste disolve with water and some foul Curry power,adding fish in that, called Kerala fish curry😡😡😡adding chicken, chicken curyy 😡

The best kerala food i had in the UK. Hands down. The service was absolutely amazing. Everyone do give a try ! Won’t be disappointed.

One of the worst biryanis I’ve ever had as a Mallu. They claimed their biryani is the best, but when I tried it, it was just juicy rice with an overpowering taste of coriander. The prices are much higher than any other restaurant in Cardiff. I don’t understand why they have so many positive reviews on their page. We also had a Kerala parotta and beef, which wasn’t bad. If the food were good, we wouldn’t have an issue with the price, but both are unacceptable. Horrible!!

We looked for a nice and quiet Saturday night dinner on a 2-nights-trip to Cardiff and ended up in the Mattancherry Canton. The food was delicious, quite spicy (- you have to ask the staff about it! They called our meal "mild"), but we loved it. The staff is very friendly, forthcoming and interested in the guests' opinion. The atmosphere is relaxing. We reserved a table for the 2nd night and went there again. I wish we had such a restaurant at home - I'd go there once a week. 😍

What incredible food! The tawa fish in particular stole the show. Amazingly cooked and the perfect blend of spices made it the best dish I tasted here. The dosa was good too. My husband and I enjoyed the food so much that we decided to take take-aways as well. My husband had the non-veg thali which was also delicious. Bonus points for having Kingfisher beer😁. Definitely the best Indian food we have had in the UK hands down. The owner is such a nice man, very polite and courteous. We thoroughly enjoyed the food.

Great taste especially sea foods and good quality for money

Lovely restaurant with delicious food and fantastic service.

Eating at Mattancheery now.. what an amazing place the food is absolutely amazing the idli and chicken momos are mouth watering …. Waiting for my dosa now …. And the ambience transforms u to India….. a lovely place indeed….

Hands down one of the best Indian restaurants in the Cardiff area, if not the best. If you wish to try authentic Kerala food, this is the place to be at! 5 star in every aspects - Customer service, food, the menu, ambience and 100% worth the money. Special thanks to the manager Ram sir for being an amazing host. Ambience: the decor and ambience of this place is top notch. There’s a main dining area, a small corridor for couples dining and a backyard garden. On summers, they also have got outdoor seating. The lighting and furnishing are vibrant. The South Indian music subtly played in the background adds to the mood. This restaurant is located in Cowbridge road, right beside the first bus stop if you’re travelling from Cardiff. It’s easily accessible. Food, drinks, desserts: A huge menu with a wide variety of options to pick from. The quantity is decent and worth the money. The plating is so amazing and aesthetically pleasing. The service is also amazing and gives a good fine dining experience. My picks: starters - Fish fry, Idly chat, Samosa chat. Mains - Thali (lamb + chicken) Biriyani (Chicken/ Lamb), Dosas Curries - Syrian Beef curry, Alleppey Fish Curry, Saag Wala chicken curry (Green chicken), Daal curry, Paneer Butter Masala drinks/ desserts - Mango Lassi, Gulab Jamun with ice cream, Gajar ka Halwa (Carrot Halwa) The veg options are also probably the best in the town. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ non-veg menu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ veg menu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ value for money Trivia: Mattancherry is one of the most touristy destinations in Kerala, which showcases the vibrant colours of Kerala (also known as the gods of country). My verdict: #1 recommended spot for Indian food in Cardiff. There’s Mattancherry restaurant in Taunton, Somerset as well, which is also easily on Top of my list. The Taunton outlet might have more variety in their menu if you’re looking for Authentic Kerala options, but the menu here is amazing anyway - with the dishes all being exotic and yummy.

The hospitality was outstanding, and the food was excellent. We enjoyed Amritsari fish and chicken biryani. The ambiance and old Malayalam songs provided a wonderful homely feeling.

Excellent food, quick delivery

I don't know why, but the whole meal had a very strange taste. Was also stone cold. Had to throw the whole thing away unfortunately. Delivery was fine though. But never again.

A hidden gem in Canton, though close to the city centre. The menu is perfectly simple and effective. There's something for everyone. The biriyani, paneer and dosa are particularly good. The owner and staff are sweet and welcoming, and the ambiance is just right. Highly recommend if you're craving the good stuff.

Food was excellent and tasty. And Mr. Ramakrishnan was an excellent host and tool great care. Definitely worth the money

Authentic Indian food. Polite delivery guy. Excellent service. Will order again.

One of the worst restaurants in Cardiff. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food is not that great but the owner says that they prepare the best food in Cardiff😂.

Superb. Quality excellent. Highly recommend the thali.

What an absolute gem of a place. The best Malayali food I have had in the UK. Reminded me of my favourite dishes back home in Kerala.

Lovely service & Lovely food. Thanks

We booked on The Fork with a discount. The service was very nice. We could choose a tali plate and other specialties. Food was tasty, we enjoyed it. Portions mid sized.

Really tasty thali and a friendly vibe would definitely go back

Very tasty food. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Will order next time for sure.

This is my number one restaurant in Cardiff. We go for every significant event, and plenty of insignificant ones too. The food is good value and incredible, plus the staff remember you and look after you. Make sure you book, it gets busy!

The only South Indian about this restaurant is the name Mattancherry.I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone from Kerala. Food is awful I’m afraid! Such a disappointing experience 👎

Amazing food, very helpful staff, great music. Will be back soon

What a beauty of a place! Food was so delicious, reasonable price and great choice on menu! We were celebrating my parents ruby wedding anniversary and they got a cake for us! Beautiful special touches that made our experience even better. We also had 5 children with us and they were so accommodating to them. Made what could've been a stressful time a lot more relaxed. 100% take a visit.

Top quality food: excellent flavours and a lovely atmosphere. Ram was a very attentive and charming host.

This restaurant is a real gem. I've eaten here twice, both times for lunch and both times I've been impressed with the cuisine.. however, that's not why I decided to post this. The gentlemen at the front is an absolute legend.. warm and friendly, his smile lights up the room.

Authentic South indian food, delivered with care. Will order again.

Mattancherry Restaurant is a gem for seafood lovers, vegetarians, and non-vegetarians alike. Their Seafood Thali and Non-Veg Thali offer a delightful variety of flavors in one plate, from tasty salmon and prawn to succulent lamb and chicken. The charming garden space provides a perfect setting for gatherings, while Mr. Ram's friendly manner and helpful suggestions add to the inviting atmosphere. Don't miss out on their delicious dosas, curries like Nadan Chicken Curry and Railway Lamb Curry, and the crowd-favorite Chicken Tikka. It's a dining experience that never disappoints.

We were finishing up a trip in south wales and wanted warm Indian food to finish off the trip with, we found this restaurant and made advance booking for 8 of us, coming to the review of the food- it is super delicious , extremely tasty authentic Indian food. Anyone who wants to try the real taste of Indian food should definitely try this place.

Mattancherry Cafe offers a delightful culinary journey through the flavors of Kerala. From traditional Malabar dishes to fusion delicacies, each bite tells a story of rich heritage and innovation. The staff is friendly, adding warmth to the dining experience. Whether you're a local seeking nostalgia or a tourist craving authentic Kerala cuisine, Mattancherry Cafe is a must-visit destination.

Just outstanding food and friendly service. Authentic cuisine.

A very authentic and varied menu, I shared a masala dosa and had the chicken thalli. It was all delicious

Absolutely delicious food. Never ordered a takeaway from here before but will definitely order from them again.

Found numerous pieces of non food objects in my food. Contacted Just eat but received partial refund . Disappointment really , as whole food had to be binned after putting it on a plate and contaminated the rest. 🫤

Tried the fish thali. The prawn curry and salmon curry was amazing. Service was good too.
