Awful pub. The woman managing this pub has a mouth like a sewer and drinks too much. Used to like using this pub 2 or 3 times a week but it’s gone downhill, it’s a horrible atmosphere and I’d rather use the Crofts Or the Elms. Staff were ok but Manager always drunk, swans around in a tracksuit all day or pjs. Drink across the road in a proper pub, I’ll never use the place again, dirty disgusting drug den, Brewery scraping the barrel with the person running the pub

Not the pub it used to be, needs a new manager to sort out the pub. To many stop ons and alco management leading to annti social behaviour ,and there are a better choice of pubs in the area. I used to use the pub 2 to 3 times a week, no more, manager and partner toxic drunks. The Royal Oak is a better alternative to this pub. Avoid if you want a quiet pint, if you want drugs or anything shoplifted see the landlady!

Nicola Dearden here on my sons account to review as I’ve been to the Clifton quite a few times but can honestly say under new management it’s a huge difference, cleaner, very friendly landlord kerry and her staff are the most welcoming. They went out of our way to look after us. We travel from Pembroke as great atmosphere in the Clifton. But unfortunately when there is sports on we have to go elsewhere to which is disappointing as we’re leaving a fantastic pub and hotel to go elsewhere which we don’t really want to leave. Travelling up soon so looking forward to seeing you all. Cheers love Nicola 🙌🍺🍻

And since the new land lady Kerry has taken over it,s 100 0/0 improved lovely bar snacks great entertainment and a fabulous welcome from all barstaff and local customers. I would suggest to anyone if your in Cardiff give it a try you would be made to feel welcome. 5 stars from. Me Xx

Arrived about 9pm to find live entertainment provided in the form of karaoke. The staff were attentive and welcoming. The premises were clean and tidy. The bar prices were reasonable for the vicinity of Cardiff. Though the evening was marred by two passing female 'chancers' trying to steal a handbag. - Though this was not the 'fault' of the staff or patrons.

Saw it had bad reviews so thought I’d say I’ve only ever had great experiences here. Only used it since it was taken over by Juboraj but can’t fault it. Food is delicious and consistent, their paneer makhani and Keema rice are especially good. Friendly service too and never had a problem with wrong dishes. Only Indian I order from would highly recommend :)

We ordered a delivery here on just eat. After ordering 1 chicken curry, 1egg fried rice, and 1chips, 1 nann bread it came to £17. Pricy for what it was. Delivery came earlier than the time stated which came before my partner got home from a work meeting. Chips were rubbery, hockey curry wasn’t great, one of the worst tasting egg fried rice I’ve tasted and the kema nann didn’t have any meat in there. Delivery driver was friendly, took about 10 minutes on the door to find change. Wouldn’t order from here again personally

Just ordered food for 4 people from here as we are in work tonight. Had loads of curries from here but this ranks with the worse meal ever. wrong food delivered very little chicken in the curries . Two of the curries were wrong as wel as all the startersl. Upon ringing the restaurant and complaining we were told they have been taken over by the Juboraj group and no longer serve the starters or the curries we ordered. If that was the case why did he take our order ? One simple reason just for the money !!!!!!! There are 25 of us in work and no one will ever use this takeaway again. Staff weren't interested when we rang and kept saying we gave you plenty of extra's when all they actually gave us was 8 broken poppadoms.......... and to make things worse the driver then forgot our 4 cans of pop. But he did refund us £2 lol. What a joke of a restaurant. i warn everyone not to use this takeaway ever Only given a 1 star as not allowed to give a zero

I found this pub was mostly where regular customers go as most people seemed to know each other, they were quite friendly and didn't make you feel like they didn't want you there, which is what tends to happen when I've been to other places like this pub. But although the customers were very friendly I found that there wasn't a lot of choice in most of the alcohol sold there & I found it quite boring and really wished I had not gone out at all.
