Pooja in Cardiff

Passed pn our way tp an appointment, window display drew us in. Stopped on our way back to the car to grab some food for a birthday meal. Grabbed some chick pea curry, beg curry, biryani rice, chapatis, and then some sides. Boat load of pakora, bhaji, stuffed chilli bhajiya, hara bhara kebab, spring rolls, pepper amd spicy banan chips. Service was great, food was great. Eill definitely go back, definitely recommend.

Ordered party matthai for guests 40 boxes opened two of the boxes one day after another and both boxes contained hairs the company boss said this does happen from time to time and would not offer a full refund for boxes we have put out to guests he said we would have to return them all. the sweets have gone all over the country but he wants us to collect them and take back to shop in Cardiff to get any sort of money back that’s there policy they should also put in policy sweeties may contain hair what a joke this is an insult to my family and guests we have give boxes too them not knowing what’s in them disgrace DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Excellent samosa and Indian style sweets. If you are not familiar with the sweets the staff are extremely helpful - ask them to supply a selection immediately and find out which your favourites are! A real treat.

Yummy yummy samosas, paneer rolls, lassi, curries, halwa, kufli, treats... truly good value for money. I am local and go here regularly :D

2 Puri + either Chana or Halwa = £3.50 Results: Salty Chana, little taste.! FAIL. Puri : They were NOT Puri made with maeda flour, but were actually like paratha. FAIL. NOT AGAIN THANKS.

Came here to pick up a quick lunch recently, and had a good time! Food tastes good, is super cheap, and served quickly. Decent overall

Amazing authentic treats which I thoroughly enjoyed and picked up more before leaving the city for my next job

Lovely Indian savouries, very spicy and good value for money. They sell a lot of sweet snacks but too sweet for me. The Bombay potato was delicious. It nice to find a shop that sells traditional Indian food.

I think all 5 Star reviews are there because no other Indian street food option is there. Food tastes like it was made days ago, punjabi samosa was extremely dry and off from inside and thick as cardboard from out side chat had chickpea rolling around and few papri bits on top, berfi sweet was off and dry too. Never again..

went for lunch yesterday on Saturday with my partner and little boy The service we received was 5 star which was largely due to the girl serving us who was amazing, helped us by choosing our curries - bombay potatoes, saag and paneer and helpfully telling us what her own favorites were the food was tasty, nice hot rice and fresh chapati, if im honest the curries were a little oily which i dont really enjoy, and the amount of oil in my partners paneer curry was too much I feel a little bad writing that because the girl at the end asked us if there is anything they could improve and seemed to invite feedback, I almost mentioned the oil and on reflection should have done, it just felt a little rude to have said So, I will go back there and order the Samosa Chat next time and be braver with my feedback and re-review on here too 4 stars due to service and value for money - £6 for 3 different curries, bread and rice was great, we will definatley return

Hot, tasty vegetable samosas - three for a £1. I am not admitting to having six - okay, they are that good.

Three for a quid Samosas, I can happily eat them until someone prises the bag from my hands! They are that good.

Loved the food here! It is cheap and the food is amazing! It was ready quickly and the pani puri did not disappoint!

Must be the best place for Indian snacks and nibbles and meals too! Can't wait to return for the real taste of India again... Highly recommend.

Popped in on a Tuesday lunchtime for some Samosas and paneer wraps to takeaway. The variety on offer is superb, the quality excellent, and the value for money spot on ! For £5 we left with a big bag of piping hot pastries !! Friendly service!! Highly recommend !

Not that good. Pooja says it all. My meal stank of what I can only describe as, Poooja. It wasn’t nice. It was only £5 but it tasted like last weeks chicken. Mucho peste. Not recommended. Smelly!

Visitamos en septiembre de 2017 y nuevamente en noviembre de 2018.En ambas ocasiones he estado insatisfecho, tanto con la comida como con el servicio.Refiriéndome a mi experiencia más reciente, me sentí casi ignorado en la tienda, cuando finalmente me atendieron, la persona que servía parecía bastante grosera; pararse con la mano en la cadera no ayuda a nadie.Ordené algunos bocadillos salados, que me di cuenta de que habían sido colocados en la ventana, ahora hace alrededor de 5 a 8 grados centígrados afuera, que la comida estaba fría y que ni siquiera tuve la opción de calentarla (supongo que eso es lo que el microondas está ahí para). . . Literalmente, ninguna comunicación del asistente en absoluto me pide el dinero y luego pasa la bolsa de manera agresiva.En la comida, las samosas que traje eran demasiado dulces, y las "verduras" que anunciaban eran un par de cubos de zanahoria y maíz dulce, y el resto era puré de papas. . . Puedo decir que la capa de pastelería exterior era agradable y crujiente, pero el relleno fue un intento a medias.Para aquellos de ustedes que son golosos, tienen una variedad decente de dulces y tienen una selección de mithai (dulces) sin azúcar para los diabéticos.El ambiente, no excelente, solo un interior de azulejos con asientos y mesas en mal estado (hace bastante frío allí).Para concluir, es un precio decente, pero por el servicio y la falta de entusiasmo por la comida de su parte, le he dado esta calificación. Para agregar, también cobran un cargo por servicio de 50 p a los clientes que desean cenar.

Awesome Chocolate mittar Would recommend it Have visited a few times ... Excellent No parking out side

Always good service and fresh sweets, have good value savouries for a quick snack and asian style street food

I bought yesterday one mathi box which one was £5.00 From Cardiff POOJA SWEETS The mathi was so smelly 🤮🤮 I will not bye again .please check your box before bye 🙏🏼

Unfortunately I was also overcharged by a substantial amount by Pooja last week . £17 for 3 small vegetarian dishes and 6 small sweets. If I ever go there again, which is unlikely, I’ll be hyper vigilant about not doing contactless payments and ask for a receipt. A shame as the food was quite pleasant.

Got some gulabjams for the journey through the so called town known as mighty diff. Very tasty and delicious gulabjams..

The food is ok, you get what you pay for and lets be honest its cheap. but the thing that i find most upsetting is getting blatantly overcharged. Apparently they try it on with many people. but the lady who served us yesterday was a disgrace as she pretended she didn't know what was going on. except when she was caught out she just carried on without even flinching. Apparently its common practice there so please be sure you don't get short changed and do your own calculations before parting with any money. At best food is mediocre when its fresh.

Good place for Indian sweets and savoury. In Cardiff you might not get better than this for Asian food.

I occasionally eat in here as I work locally, The food is lovely and fresh and really reasonably priced. The aubergine and potato curry is a bargain for £4.50 to eat in with an accompanying rice/bread side. The samosas and the paneer tikka roll is delicious too. Well worth a visit.

I often pop in here for their super and reasonably priced curries, which all come in three sizes. I also like that you get a choice of free rice or chapati to accompany each dish. As a non vegetarian, I often just pick up side dishes to accompany a meat curry.

Food is always fresh and of a high standard. Sweets are divine as are the savoury snack...we go every weekend to get our fix!!!

For Indian Vegetarian food, this place is brilliant! I haven't tried any sweets or savoury snacks as of yet but I have had a paneer curry and chapati bread which was really really good! Everything looks and feels like the shops I used to visit in London with family - authentic and delicious. Definitely going back!

Called in to Pooja as I had seen it often when passing, there is a huge selection of sweets which I never tried. I had a selection of samosas and snacks along with the paneer curry. It was delicious and good value for money and ideal for a quick lunch. This is a cafe style shop where you can eat in or takeaway.

We wanted somewhere quick for lunch and this fitted the bill - quick service, no frills and no fuss. We all enjoyed the various snacks and would go again.

Two curries with rice, 5 pakoras, 5 samosas, a bottle of water, yoghurt dip and 2 homemade Indian sweets for £8. All tasty, quick service and vegetarian.

pooja sweets in london is really good, but this branch is totally the opposite. on 3 instances i have bought mithai from here and have never been happy. on the 3rd occassion my wife fell ill after eating a ladu. will never return there ever again.

This is the best indian take out in Cardiff. Be warned, it is vegetarian and very spicy. The dahl is incredible, paneer rolls to die for! I go at least once a week.

Friendly staff, lovely selection, good prices !! Get a curry with rice to go or eat in, samosas or paneer rolls... all delicious !! Best place for Indian sweets !

We had gujarati and panjabi samosa, kachori, Bhel puri, Pani piri and Dahi vada chat. All food was eatable but not brilliant. I was disappointed with Indian Sweets.

I ordered and paid for some savouries for a small party for my local friends . When my friend went to pick up the order he was told that one of the items (dhokla) had gone off and they had texted me saying that it was being replaced by something else. Apparently the message which I later found in my "Unknown Senders " text box was sent to me only half an hour before the order was supposed to be picked up. The message said that they will give me something else instead of Dhokla as "....dokhla gone off for some resen...."

I wish I could have given them a better ranking, because they used to be really good. I hate giving negative reviews but this place has disappointed me twice and I feel that I should write it down in order to help them with an improvement.

Vegie food at its best. Awesome, amazing, wow, superb, delicious are a few word to use for this place. It's just brilliant the way you don't even know you're eating vegeterian food.

I've ordered 4 or 5 portions of various different curries from Pooja (embarrassingly, I'm not sure of the names of all of them!) and each one has been absolutely delicious. The flavours are well-balanced and each dish tastes considerably healthier than an average curry dish from a UK curry house. At £2.50, they are a steal- chapattis come free too! Will be visiting regularly.

Samosa chaat was delicious. Gol guppay Tasted really good. Service was excellent. Would highly recommend it.

Been in with my friends and I love the way I am not sure what I was just thinking of the day before I get my money on this one has been in my head and a lot more fun than a year

I pop into Pooja occasionally for a snack, a good, healthy lunch for just £2.50! Today I had more than just a snack which comprised of masala samosa chaat, an aloo dish with chapati and some tea. I can recommend the chana dahl and the paneer with boiled rice also. I'm diabetic, but sometimes I will try the jalebi - naughty but nice! The selection of sweets is phenomenal. The welcome is always warm and friendly. New seating recently installed. I'll be back again and again.

Very tasty Indian style sweets etc.

The best samosas in Cardiff at Pooja. I am unable to walk past the shop without popping in for the 5 for £3 deal. Nice people, great food. I urge you to try them...

Great Indian deserts and a chat bar at the back. Really great paneer samosa. Friendly staff too. Worth a look in when you pass. The samosas are only a pound or 5 for 3 quid and it beats the pasties from Greggs.
