STAR OF WALES in Cardiff

Go to Indian takeaway in canton/vic park. Generous portions and at a reasonable price. Great flavour

Consistently great food, service and portions. Wouldn't get a curry from anywhere else

Coming home to visit, the Star of Wales is always top of my list of restaurants - and never lets me down. Great food, great people, a Cardiff treasure. Now I just need you to start doing deliveries to the US West Coast!!

Went back for our second visit to the star and it was just as good as the last time, everything was cooked really well and spiced perfectly, really enjoyable meal in nice surroundings

Have got a takeaway several times from here and it's always good. Ate in during December and was just as good! Food is fresh, flavoursome and staff are always friendly

Read so many reviews praising Star of Wales, but the quality of the food was disappointing. Every dish was fairly bland in flavour with many tasting as if they had been watered down. The lamb saag was the highlight, but the meat was chewy. I thought the food would be traditional curry house fare done really well, but unfortunately it seemed like any other average Indian restaurant. However, the staff were friendly and you do get good portions. All in all it was OK. I wouldn't tell friends not to go there, but manage their expectations given the hype.

A very welcoming restaurant the team couldn't have been better. Service was great. Food fresh and hot. The chicken tikka starter is a must. Biryani was delicious. Marked 4 out of 5 for food only because the salad could have been better. Naan bread were really good. Worth a visit and good value for money

It's so salty bad waiters chef complained to me worst place I've ever been I hate it bad food 🤢 I could not resist with it 🤢🤢🤢

1st time ever going there tonight for my birthday meal and I must I will most definitely be going again. The food was amazing and the staff treat you great. The boss was talking to us and he memorises everyone that goes there. Highly recommend going here.

Overated restaurant rely on regulars who would nt know what a decent curry was chicken chewy on both our meals they dont let you relax ontop of you all the time rushing us through the meal people all ontop of each other .

My favourite Indian for 20 years, Staff are so friendly and the food is perfect.

Went to Star of Wales a few days ago. No booking, but we timed it before their evening rush. Seated straight away. I wouldn't count on this happening, though. They are a popular restaurant, best to book ahead. Food was fantastic, as always. The staff are all really friendly. We've never had a bad experience here.

This was our first time visit to the star and it won’t be the last, we went with friends who recommended it and the food and service was exceptional I had chicken madras and the wife’s was a chicken korma both perfectly cooked , a perfect night out with great food , definitely a return soon

I've been looking for a good, traditional Indian restaurant that was reasonably priced in Cardiff and ive finally found it at the Star of Wales. Will be back

Amazing quality food, excellent table service, wonderful staff. I can't wait to go back! Wish their was an option for delivery!

Excellent food (the dagni ghost was terrific) and very friendly & helpful staff.

Abominable and inedible. Chicken was bland and chewy and reheated by texture. Sauce watery and tasteless. Onion Bhaji‘s smelled and tasted musty. Again refried I believe. Whole meal was disgusting and waste of money. I would not go again and would advise that you don’t order a takeaway early evening since you’re likely to get tasteless and inedible food.

Fabulous curry tonight with my family for my great nephew's 18th Birthday!

Excellent staff Excellent food good prices Excellent atmosphere. What more could you ask for

Lovely food and excellent service

Went here for my birthday with my girlfriend. We live local and hadn’t tried here before. First impressions were it looked a little dated and potentially could have put us off. We were wrong to have dismissed this place. We started with some poppadom with dip, which was tasty. We then split the mixed starter between us which was excellent, the kebab was a highlight. As a main, we had a chicken tikka masala and a Lamb Bahar. We ordered rice with the tikka as this didn’t come with the dish. And a peshwari naan. The tikka was a highlight, great bit of spice and the flavour was excellent. Waiting staff were attentive and got our order right. Atmosphere was very casual, which we liked. Plenty of chatter and buzz. Drinks selection is good, I’ve attached a picture of the drinks menu as we couldn’t find one online. They do also deliver. Overall experience was excellent, great curry house and is ideal for a cheeky curry and just round the corner! We will definitely be back.

Got a upset stomach today thanks to this place. Sorry for being vulgar but if any more explanation is needed about this restaurant then you deserve the same fate as me. Not happy.

Restaurant was just clean enough, seats a little grubby, friendly atmosphere though with a typical decor. The chicken balti was average but nice, except for the chicken, it. was very tough & ruined the curry. Some side dishes came out cold & our 12 popadoms were stale. After a exhausting explanation to all the waiters about a few unsatisfactory dishes, I asked to speak to a member of management, I was informed there where no management on the premises at that time. Eventually they discount those dishes. All in all a average place to eat but we won’t be returning. Disappointed.

Thursday evening had two chicken balti chicken very overcooked and rubbery Active send one back The sagpioneer and Sagarloo we are beyond average rest of the food was okay at best for £158 food was absolutely terrible not value for money they did knock off three dishes not put them on the bill they were so bad overall 4 out of 10 surely they have to be better places to eat in my opinion. But the chicken was like it had been re-cooked it was unreal i’ve had better chicken in KFC. Seriously not kidding. But hey Ho beware of the quality of the food The water had he’s shirtsleeves all over the nanbred. And holding The plate with his hand and his thumb all in the nanbreds. We only at the centre of the nanbred Hope this will help improve on service and quality of food we had 12 Popadoms even they were stale

Every visit the staff have been so brilliant - attentive and friendly! Food is impeccable. Cannot recommend enough, what a great establishment! Thank you for amazing service and tasty food.

Some of the best food in Wales. traditional atmosphere and first class service... Thank you 'Star Of Wales' We'll see you again real soon.

Omg, I have never had carrots, peas, n sweetcorn in a normal chicken curry... very old fashion decor.

Our daughter was 40 so I booked tables for all 24 of us to meet up to celebrate. On a Wednesday at 6pm. We were greeted by the Manager Dilwar and sat at our tables. The staff were so helpful and polite, nothing too much trouble. The food was well presented, plentiful, perfect temperature, and delicious a 10/10 from all. What we couldn’t eat was bagged up and taken home! I would like to say many thanks to the chefs. The whole experience created happy memories of her birthday celebration. Star by name and 5 star by rating. Thank you everyone definitely see you again soon.

Service was lovely. We had a birthday catch up in here. The food was delicious

Wonderful food friendly service can't fault it 👌

Friendly staff and owner, great food.

Had takeaway from here yesterday, the chicken tikka masala didnt look right or taste right. It had all little white bits in it and I wasn't sure if it was curdled cream or coconut flour. The masala had a little kick to it but apart from that was bland. The chicken tasted like it had been boiled in some red food colouring which added to the bland taste.

The food here is always amazing.... I couldn't finish my meal so the boxes it up for me to take home and enjoy later. Been here many times and will be returning.

Top notch takeaway last night. Easy to park on the road outside, piping hot and very good quality. They checked the containers in front of us to make sure everything ordered was there and couldn’t have been friendlier.

Really tasty food and received great service and welcome from the staff.

Consistently good food, and lots of vegetarian dishes, in conducive relaxing atmosphere

Fantastic, tasty food! Found this little gem about a year ago, and they've been our go-to for Indian food ever since! Staff are lovely and so helpful, and food is always consistent and delicious. 5 stars!

Always a great experience, superb friendly attentive staff 👌

Very very dated, fresh out of 1987.

Very good service and excellent food

We were taken here by friends who have been going to this restaurant for 36years. I can see why they keep going back. The food is amazing, the staff were polite, friendly and the service was excellent. An outstanding restaurant - we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a lovely evening

Went with work colleagues a really good experience one to be repeated ..

Let start with the service - the best I can remember in an Indian restaurant. Super friendly and efficient. The food was great too - lovely level of spicing and good portion sizes sensibly priced. Would definitely recommend this place after our first visit there last night.

This restaurant never fails on 5 star service. Staff very attractive and make you feel part of family. Food and service excellent. Went tonight for valentines meal. The place was decorated for the occasion and going there made you feel you were on a special evening.

Very good service and food excellent

Star of Wales is a well-established restaurant in Canton. The service is always outstanding and the dishes are superior in quality to anything I have had in Cardiff.

Have not been in a while, very surprised still lovely food, staff and service. Highly recommended

Staff are always happy, helpful and make you more than welcome. Food is great and atmosphere is great.

It was extremely busy but the staff were very polite and apologetic about any the delays...food was really tasty,fresh and well presented...I would definitely go again but not on a match day...I highly recommend a visit...

Very relaxed, excellent service, lovely food.

Never had a bad experience here. Food and service are always great.. emergent value for money

Great food and exceptional service

Excellent quality food at a reasonable price, really nice staff who, despite keeping us waiting at the start, were really attentive and polite towards servicing us. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Food excellent as usual, all staff a joy to be with

Onion bhajis no cucumber no tomato just some wilted rocket, I ordered just a chicken curry with half and half, it was like soup with stringy tough chicken in chips were solid, when the bill came it looked to high, I tried to take the receipt and he said ill rip the bottom off for you with the price on, I asked for the whole receipt but he said that was not for me? I have noticed that in the purple poppadom and many curry houses they write very bad and change some of the numbers so they can say human error when there is an extra £20 added to the bill, it seems to be common practice now essentially if they clock your drunk.

My go to place for beautiful Indian food, lovely staff and delicious meals

Great experience not the first time we have been won't be the last .. food and service 1st class

Staff here are wonderful as is the food. I'd definitely go again

Excellent customer service by Jay and food was amazing, all fresh and service was on point highly recommend this place.

Still 1 of the best Indian restaurants in Cardiff even after all these years, top food and run by top people

Been going here for years mum and dad love it here when they come over from Spain the owner and staff are so nice and always make them feel welcome

Was extremely disappointed with my recent experience I asked for a dish to be mild which had to be returned because it was too hot. Then the waiter told me - ah I forgot to tell the chef - so my food had to go back and be re cooked whilst my guys were eating there's. The restaurant was far from full but staff were hovering around the table when we had finished so it was almost like - you have finished - time to go! So we left with the view never to return again. Very disappointed

Absolutely fabulous food and the service hasn't changed over the years it's still first class.

10 of us on a Friday night out for a birthday. Everyone was happy with their meals except one who tried something new and he wasn't keen but nothing wrong with the actual food. Staff are all really helpful and make sure you have everything and your glass isn't empty for long! Will be back and highly recommend 👌

The best indian in cardiff !!!!!!

This place was AMAZING. Not only was the food delicious, the employees were delightful and very generous. The atmosphere is great, which makes eating there an experience that isn’t just about the food. Dill especially was very friendly and we had great conversation. The staff here goes above and beyond to treat you like family. Highly, highly recommend.

Stunning food here and reasonably priced, we had chicken madras and lamb sali ghost. Both delicious, can't wait to go back again 😋

Nothing but praise for the food and staff.

Excellent food And good service Very accommodating

Fabulous food, lovely friendly staff

Absolutely loved every dish. The service was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble. The food was so delicious. I loved the way the menu informs you of the allergies from the onset. The staff are so helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. I was so full afterwards I had to have a little power walk to burn some calories. I had enough for lunch the next day. Definitely eat here again on my next visit

If you're thinking of going here I suggest you plan and book well ahead. It's unlikely you get a table on a walk in. That said, the menu is varied, clear and concise as well as reasonably priced. The food is excellent and the service was great. Very friendly staff and a lovely ambiance. Well worth a visit.

Lovely food as always an attentive friendly staff

Excellent food, very friendly staff, highly recommend this restraunt in Canton.

Went here for a birthday meal. The food was great everyone enjoyed. The service was faultless. Theses guys go the extra mile. Very friendly and gave the birthday boy a free drink. You almost feel part of the family. Star of wales deserves it 5 star rating and meets it easily.

Absolutely stunning food, top line customer service, nice subtle, gentle atmosphere, you HAVE to try the Onion Bhajis!!

Food is out of this world, always very nice and the staff are lovely 😍

Had a lovely meal, excellent food and service, staff very friendly 👌👌

I have food from there every Saturday. Best place to get a curry in cardiff.

Very bad takeaway and a lot more expensive than others in Cardiff that are a lot better

Missed this place during covid. Glad to see it hasn’t changed (plastic screens aside) and to discover that the food is still as good as ever. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic meal the staff can't do enough for you and very reasonably priced, this is a restaurant I will definitely be visiting again and again

I have been enjoying Indian takeaways for over 35 years and I can say without hesitation this was one of the worst I have ever had. Expensive and awful cold tasteless greasy

Very good clean and tidy what you want for a good evening out 👍

No idea of where it is or what it's for 😕

I would like to say a, "Big Thank You to the Star of Wales, for there service & hospitality. I had a fabulous 60th Birthday. My Friends & I had a fabulous night , great company & delicious food had by all. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
