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.

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.

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 not paid to say this, but we were surprised it was so good. This is an absolute gem 💎 ✨️ possibly the best South Indian food in the UK, using fresh ingredients, excellent spicing in carefully prepared dishes with good portion sizes - the simple mains and chutneys were amazing. Great for vegetarian and gluten free food. The service was exemplary, friendly and knowledgeable. The staff care deeply about offering good food and they succeed to deliver a great meal in a lively environment. We had idly chaat, bajis, veggie thali and masala dosa followed by gaggar ki halwa and masala chai. Absolutely recommend to anyone, enjoy!

Excellent food...loved the saag paneer we ordered. We had it with Parotta. The samosa Ragda chaat is yummy, and I would highly recommend it. The thali looked interesting and would have loved to try it, but may be another visit is on cards, so I will try then...sorry didn't take any pictures of the food was too hungry to take any. But if you do want to taste South Indian food, this place is best. Also, I would advise that you better book the table and go as they get booked up pretty fast.

!!! Altamente consigliato !!!! Sono tornato qui dopo circa 9 anni. Mi ricordavo di una incredibile salsa lemon pickle. Sono rimasto colpito anche di più della prima volta. Il cibo ha una qualità incredibile e il personale sorridente e accogliente. Ho chiesto per la famosa salsa lemon pickle e mi hanno anche offerto una piccola scatola da portarmi a casa. Tutti noi quattro abbiamo preso il Thali vegetariano e anche i miei amici hanno detto che é il miglior ristorante indiano di Cardiff. I miei amici dicono che é il cibo indiano più fresco e croccante che abbiano mai avuto. Tornerò sicuramente ogni volta che passerò per Cardiff.

We visited as a group of five adults, and ordered a large cross section of the menu which we shared. Everything was very good and some things truly excellent. We particularly loved the dosa, thali and chicken saag. Service was friendly and staff dealt well with one of our party with a nut allergy. They also had a tasty selection of vegetarian dishes. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Its good restaurant. But in my opinion the the food is limited .The price is little high also. There is no parking for the restaurant but with in 0.1 mile there is a public car park so parking is not a problem .lot of space in the hotel . When the first view its look a small hotel but its a big hotel with lot of chair capacity . And one of the most important defect is there is no good hand wash place . We need to wash hand in the toilet and the toilet is also very bad .

We travelled 10 miles just to try the food after seeing the pictures on Facebook and we were not dissatisfied. There’s a depth of flavour to the food I’ve rarely experienced and I could bath in the gravy!! We ordered a pulled pork and a pulled beef Yorkshire wrap and the beef dirty fries. The portion sizes are very good and the food filling. The quality of the food is excellent, no cheap ingredient fillers are used and the flavour combinations are sublime. It’s well worth the journey and priced very reasonably. I really recommend you give this a try and, like us, you’ll be back for more!

Attended a recent party there, although the buffet was tasty and food was edible, it would not have stretched to the 40 the chef said he would cater for, more like 15/20. but not all of guests were able to make it- so thankfully enough food, just the principle, as it cost £365 for the food 😳 We had prearranged vegan options to be told on the night by staff- this was the first they had heard of it ( obviously not their fault) and the chef had now left. We had also previously spoken to staff and requested older music for the party, we were told to ask the DJ on the night, who will play requests. On the night when we handed over staff a music list for the DJ to play- we were told it was a actually a reggae night and the play list was already arranged. So that was that! 😳 £100 for the VIP room/DJ, so total price price paid £465- quite an eye opener of an experience.

I’ve just visited the venue for Sunday lunch & very disappointed. I had the beef which was okay, but a bit grey and nowhere near what I’d expected. The Yorkshire pudding I left as it was totally inedible (and I love a Yorker), the roast potatoes didn’t have much colour to them & the veg looked as if it’d been reheated. I had hoped that a dessert would make up for the mains, but the choice was so uninspiring I didn’t bother. Overall the place lacked atmosphere and the tables/chairs setup reminded me of a canteen. The ‘Merlot’ I chose was probably the cheapest they could find. I won’t be back.
