The Coconut Tree Cardiff in Cardiff

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.

Great food and atmosphere, went a couple of hours before the rubgy

Absolutely banging food, music and vibes!

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

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.

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

Alex and gruffydd are great each time we’ve been they’ve really made the night for us so defo recommend you will not be disappointed

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.

Delicious food and a great atmosphere. Came here for lunch with a friend and was not disappointed. Staff were friendly and helpful. The menu had lots of great dishes and what we had was very tasty! Not the best for picky eaters though! I would definitely return!

Amazing selection of dishes, excellent service. Really enjoyed the experience. This was my first visit and I'll definitely be returning.

Enjoyed our drinks here....But our bill came to £55! We didn't even eat here! Very expensive in my personal opinion.

Absolutely superb food, atmosphere and really friendly service. Great selection of vegan options and great variety overall. Best South Asian food we have had in a long time. Will definitely go again soon, terrific birthday present!

The food was nice but very less quantity for the price. The curry quantity was very less. The taste is great. But I would recommend to increase the quantity.

Warm & welcoming with friendly staff,the food was fabulous definitely recommend & worth a visit will be returning soon.

One of the best places in Cardiff. We love the number of vegan options and the specials are always great! Fun cocktails and good service.

Values to pay. Good service and excellent environment. Food is different from other Asian restaurants. Curry but not Indian.

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.

I booked a table for 6. Staff were very friendly and polite. The food was super delicious and full of flavour. We were all happy with our food. I will definitely be returning. I also just found out they are on Uber Eats 😁. I would definitely recommend.

Amazing food, great music, awesome atmosphere. Loved it. Nisa was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Can't wait to come back.

First time visiting the restaurant and wow, what an experience! The food was so tasty and the flavours were unbelievable. Service was spectacular from Nosa..will definitely be going back and taking friends. Loved it!! Thank you

This place is pretty okay, portions are a bit on the smaller side but overall decent food

Had late late lunch on New yrs Eve Staff were so helpful friendly and informative Food was great , felt authentic with great variety Great service Happy New Yr

Food was very tasty, authentic and reasonably priced.... will definitely be going back

We had late afternoon lunch on New yrs Eve Staff were super friendly informative Food was really tasty and felt authentic This is a great place to have loads of dishes to share between friends or your own individual dish Good value and great service Thank you and Happy & Healthy New Yr

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.

Authentic Sri Lankan food. Welcoming and friendly service by Vidu & the cozy vibe made it even better.

Authentic Sri lankan cuisine. Amazing service

This is one of the few restaurants they welcomes pets in the evening . we went with our dog for my birthday. Nisa the server and Oscar the bartender were very friendly and have a great attitude. The customer service was top notch and I...

Delicious light lunch meal, Kale & Cabbage Sambol and parippu and rotti . excellent service by Rodney.

We had dinner at The Coconut Tree and we were served by Rodney. Coming from Sri Lanka, we were in the look out for proper Sri Lankan food. We had basmati rice, parata, prawn curry, lamb curry, carrot sambol, cashew curry. The highlight of the...

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Cocktails are really interesting and presented in an exciting way

Really friendly staff, tasty food and fabulous cocktails! We had a lovely time and the atmosphere was really great!

Really good goat curry got with fried rice (additional you don't get rice with it). Drinks were good but a bit sweet for my taste

Relaxed and informal venue with excellent food, a wide (and decent) range of drinks and very friendly staff who mix a mean cocktail

Great food, Rodney our front of house was brilliant, the table on our booking ran over but he made sure we were well looked after with drinks while we wait. Great time.

Love the food and cocktails, so tasty! Would definitely recommend, the staff were friendly and food was delicious. Only thing that I find annoying is that you can’t pay in cash, I think everywhere should have to accept legal tender

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!

Fantastic service and wonderful Sri Lankan cuisine - Roonby was exceptional, warm and kind. He made us and our baby and (three) dogs feel very welcome. We’d definitely visit again.

Great way to try a new cuisine, lots of small plates that you can all try a bit of, and the food is absolutely delicious! Cocktails are banging as well. Only drawback was it was a bit cold in there so bring a thick jumper.

First time visiting. Off the cuff decision to eat there but still got a table so wellchuffed. Menu looked ok and what I expected the food tasted good but underwhelming in amount served. Went for the can’t decide menu which was the start of our...

Fabulous meal for birthday celebration- we are all vegan and so good to have so much choice! Our waiter was helpful and friendly. Food and drinks delicious- will definitely re visit 😊

We came here for a hen feast with unlimited food and drink for 90 minutes. At first there was a bit of confusion around if they were able to do it which was frustrating as I'd talked with them before booking and no one mentioned...

One of the best chain restaurant experiences in Cardiff. Delicious food, great service and excellent value. Would recommend! Very gluten free friendly too!

We visit The Coconut tree almost every time that we’re in Cardiff. Lovely food and atmosphere - it gives us a little nostalgia for Sri Lanka (just sad that there seems to be problems importing Lion beer these days🙃). Service is always amazing too. Rodney...

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.

Seriously flavourful food, waitress very knowledgeable & helpful with the menu.

I've seen this place before just from the outside but didn't realised its a hidden gem. Most delicious meal amazing flavours. Rodney was very friendly and accomdating. Explained how the menu worked. Had the curried goat delicious. The 5'c sambaul, kale and cabbage sambaul ....

Sweet little place with delicious food. Menu not super extensive but more than enough options for everyone in our group to find something tasty. The spicy dishes weren’t spicy enough to make us melt away but definitely left a nice burning sensation behind which lasted well beyond dessert! Liked it a lot.

This was our second visit to a coconut tree restaurant , its definitely my favorite place to eat! The decor is unique , there's a relaxed atmosphere, staff are always really friendly and helpful. The menu is outstanding! Full of unusual small dishes ,iv yet...

Really tasty food, lovely staff. Amazing vegan selection. So many flavours to explore. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent food, friendly staff.... What more?? 👍🏼😁👍🏼

Food was excellent. Came out hot, and was very tasty. Friendly staff and nice clean restaurant.

The food was amazing! The cheesey Colombo was my favourite. It’s quite hidden away but well worth it. The staff were super friendly. Will definitely visit again :)

Terrible experience. Ignored in reception area. Finally shown to some seats. Then we were ignored for at least 20 minutes. We witnessed arguments taking place between staff. We decided to leave. One of us went to explain to the manager … who decided to ignore...

My favourite place lovely food and atmosphere

Amazing food! The staff were really friendly and the whole experience was great. We were recommended to have the Hopper but chose something else. The waiter returned and joked that we didn’t listen to the recommendation so brought us one on the house, and we...

Delicious vegetarian food, kind and friendly staff, Nisa was a great server who made me feel welcome and explained the special style of menu. So many good dishes to try, with a bit of everything!

Food & service was great! But it was soo cold in there it was uncomfortable...

Stumbling upon this hidden gem in the middle of Cardiff city center is one of my greatest achievements in Cardiff! The food here takes you on a true gastronomical adventure to Sri Lanka! 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! I was particularly fascinated with the bar counter top which was made with coins. Drop by for a real food adventure and I’m sure it would be one of the best meals you have ever had!

Went for son's 30th with large group of his friends - vegan, vegetarian, meat eaters, pescatarian - we had them all. Great variety of food that everyone enjoyed. Like a Thai tapas! Staff made the experience, so friendly and helpful, they really made the experience...

Really delicious food and great service, the restaurant looked lovely and we all had a lovely time.

Wonderful food (excellent GF options), with friendly service. I particularly enjoyed the cheesy colombo.

Really great food and drinks (cocktails on fire - what more could you want?!) Staff were super friendly and helpful.

What feels like a hidden gem for Cardiff. Delicious food, wonderful service and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Cocktails were tasty and everyone needs to try a Hopper at least once!!

It's my absolute favourite place to eat. The egg hoppers are a must. Great atmosphere, lovely attentive staff, I highly recommend this place.

We were served by Malki, she was very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious also! Great vegan options.

Casual restaurant with chilled atmosphere. Very nice decor. The vegan options were absolutely amazing and bursting with flavour!

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.

I recently dined at 'The Coconut Tree' and was impressed by the exquisite Sri Lankan cuisine and exceptional service. 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.

Delicious authentic food! Lovely waiter called Malki who was very friendly and attentive. Great value and good atmosphere

Love this place. Food is really good quality and always consistent. Looks a bit dark and backstreet when you walk past, but don’t be put off… pop in!

Friendly, helpful staff. Lots of delicious foods to try - plenty for everyone. Great atmosphere, great time had by all

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.

Took 50 minutes for someone to take our drinks order. When they eventually came, some were wrong. It should be made clear on the menu that the portions are very small and you should order multiple dishes. It should also be made clear which are spicy. The food was excellent. Staff were very friendly.

Booked a table and were shown to the table. After 30 mins of trying to get the staff attention to at least order a drink I decided to walk away. Same really as the food is excellent but the service on this was socking to say the least.

everything fine. good food. good service. cosy location. special new food. good cocktails. good value for money. would come back.

Super … big party with lots of needs… all catered for by the very lovely Gethin… food delicious … well done and thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent food and service. Extremely impressed, this place is the place to go for south Indian cuisine. Nice change to standard curries.

Great vibe, they played great music and created such a cool atmosphere. Food was amazing! Yummy drinks!

Food was great and really authentic! There are many vegan options to choose from. Also the service is great, would totally recomend.

We were here during our holidays! The food was just awesome, the service was perfect! Would recommend!

Really really nice food and cocktails. There were a few issues with the order but the manager was so gracious and really went above and beyond to resolve it.

The Express lunch for £15 and that was good value for money, food and service was good, staff helpful and friend but only negative feedback would be the hip hop music... Some explicit lyrics 😅

Malki served us, such a kind and helpful waitress. We loved the sharing aspect of the meal and trying lots of dishes. Great veggie options

So pleased we choose this little diamond of a place. Couldn't have been better. Food amazing and staff very attentive. We can't wait to come back. Thank you!

Great food, nice staff and nice music! There are both vegan and non-vegan meals. We really enjoyed this place.

Muy aconsejable por la variedad de la comida y el servicio. Ambiente musical muy bueno

Worst food Not authentic srilankan food Everything bland and cold I have eaten better srilankan food in Uk

We always visit this restaurant when travelling to Cardiff. Delicious Food and they have maintained that standard

Eat here - blackened pork main, goat curry main, coconut sambal are to die for!

Visited for lunch after attending a Bob Ross painting class run by Emma in Little Tree Studio (highly recommend ) which is above the restaurant The staff were amazing, so helpful, advising us on vegetarian / vegan options. The food was fabulous, freshly cooked, well...

Amazing food and amazing service by Rodngy! The express lunch deal is very good and the restaurant is very chill, perfect for a friend hangout!

Always fab - my favourite place to eat in Cardiff

Absolutely stunning! The food was amazing. Literally some of the tastiest, well cooked food we have had - especially in a city centre where things can get a little samey! Just wow. The cocktails were also superb! Really tasty and very alcoholic - none of...

If you like spicy food, then you have found the right place. Recommend Kottu , friendly service.

Nice ambiance, great food, brilliant service but the portion size could be a bit bigger (Sri Lankan hospitality after all is known for its generosity!)
