Went with colleagues from work. Vegan choices of food but most were spicy and I can't have spicy food for health reasons. What I had was nice though. Lovely cocktails, some were cheaper when you buy 2

We had a wonderful experience at the Coconut Tree, Cardiff this week. The food was totally delicious and the portions were very generous. There was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very welcoming and helpful, especially Rodney who looked after us during our visit - he always had a smile on his face. We will definitely be back soon.

Quite a cool place, nice decor, lots of different rooms and really busy when we were there. Six Nations night so service maybe not quite as quick as when less busy, but great cocktails and the food is really unusual, also not too spicy and lots of choice

A really great meal, fantastic atmosphere and attentive service despite being a very very busy Six Nations evening. The food is excellent, we had a range of chicken and vegetarian dishes and the waiter Gethin was informed about choices for those who like spicy food and those who don't

Half hour plus to get a drink, then told its because they were busy, not even an apology. Didn’t bring water to the table despite request. Cocktails served in plastic pint glasses and food on rusted tin plate. The food was passable, didn’t get everything we ordered. Restaurant not exactly warm. Won’t be rushing back but it was fairly cheap.

Food great. Service appaling, food delivered late, not all together, drinks took hour to arrive, rice microwaved as didn't arrive with food. And zero apology. Worst service had ever to be honest.

Interesting and tasty menu! Food is very flavourful and has notes of coconut and warm spices such as cardamom. Some items can be very spicy, yet only half of the spicyness from their origins as we were told :-) Weird drinks also. The good weird. You should order five(ish) separate items for a complete meal. Very affordable prices. Downsides? Loud atmosphere. Loud music and loud clientele, at least on a weekend evening... If you want a romantic, candel light dinner, you shold consider something else.

This was our first time visiting The Coconut Tree following our recent relocation to Cardiff. My partner chose the restaurant for our New Year’s Eve meal and it was an excellent choice. The atmosphere is just right, the service is impeccable and the layout very comfortable to sit in. The food was tasty and amazing but the reason I cannot give it five stars is the portion sizes. They are too small for the price that is charged for them and if you consider doubling up, it then makes a particular item more expensive than it should be. There could be more starter choices added to the menu as well as sweets and maybe consider introducing larger portion sizes at a reasonable price. We would love to visit again, but due to the cost and the portion sizes, we cannot dine there often.

Food was great in this place, however sadly felt the service let it down. All the staff were lovely but there were definitely not enough staff working on a Saturday, particularly on a Saturday in December and for us this let it down as having to go to the bar to ask different staff for the same things. Probably wouldn't come back on a Saturday but would probably come back at a lunchtime as the food was lovely and a bit different, but hopefully the staff wouldn't be as rushed off their feet! However food was excellent, so if you don't mind a bit of a wait with things I'd recommend!

What a fantastic find this was for us! Delicious and fresh tasting food, lovely staff and wicked cocktails! Lovely atmosphere, very close to the Utilitia Arena, comfy seating, nicely laid out, not too noisy, reasonably priced. The only downside is the portions. If you have your main meal in the evening and you like a good feed then order several dishes as it's very much based on street food theme so you'll be hungry if you just go for a couple of dishes.

Delicious Sri Lankan dishes curated in a perfect manner. The perfect spice level which is quite palatable. Friendly staff and speedy service! Amazing ambiance too!

We were trying to find a place that could also offer vegan dishes and the coconut tree looked perfect from what we've seen in the menu. When you walk in the atmosphere had been really good, and the gentleman at the entrance named Rodney was very nice and polite throughout our time there. We were offered a seat wherever we wanted since we were the first ones there and immediately we were told how the menu works and explained everything so we understood. Rodney was very informative and polite, we also ordered a lot of drinks and never in my life did i order as many drinks as i did today with him while having any type of food. 😅 We've had two pina colada zero and 2 virgin mojito passion fruit and then one of each ice teas, so raspberry and passion fruit. For food we had a plain hooper and an egg hopper, parippu and a fat sister, kale & cabbage sambol a bit of rice (vegan rice was really good) tct chili paste, which was quite a lot and too much of it for 2 people and spicy as well. The food was amazing, the service was amazing and even Nisa, which helped serving the drinks was very nice and polite to us and checked that everything was okay, which we really appreciate. The music was also very chill 😎 It was my sister's 3rd day in Cardiff and she's never had such an amazing service in her life. I'm really happy that she was also happy as well as I, and I will book it for next time as well.

The manager, Rodney, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. The dishes were bursting with authentic flavors, and the manager's attentiveness and knowledge about the menu made our visit truly memorable. A big thank you to 'The Coconut Tree' team, for an unforgettable dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

Found this place while looking to try something different, rather than just stick to what we would normally go for, and very glad that we did. The food was amazing Sri Lankan street food which was extremely tasty. There was a good variety of dishes, including a good range for vegans too. If you’re unsure what to try, then the ‘Can’t decide’ option on the menu is good, as you get three randomly selected dishes. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and the staff were very polite and courteous. Would highly recommend eating here, particularly if you’re a fan of Far Eastern cuisine!

TCT is a good option for anyone wanting to try Sri Lankan / South Indian food in Cardiff. The chicken curry, roti and chicken kothu were amazing. I’ll definitely recommend the hoppers as well for people who haven’t tried it before. Cheesy Colombo was the only dish that was highly recommended but I dint like it but it could just be a matter of taste.

Caution if your spice level is a rogan josh. You may have limited options. However the staff are very friendly and accommodating. From the goat curry and egg hoppers to the spicier chicken. All the food is great. 3 stars for service is due to the low amount of staff and the wait. They didn't have enough staff to cover the amount of covers on the Saturday we went.

I've used this place many times over the years but I find lately it's so hit and miss! Had the Asian beef katiroll today, the filling was very watery and tasted sour! Had all the of the katirolls many times before so know how they are when they are at there best, unfortunately this time wasn't great and I only ate half due to being very hungry after work! Otherwise I wouldn't of ate that much to be frank! Such a shame the consistency has slipped so much.
