The Khyber Cuisine in Cardiff

Placed a order for pickup. The culchas I ordered were not culchas as they ended up looking like naan with sesame seeds on them. They were burnt so I called the business number and was asked to take the order back. The guy there was so rude and other staff there didn't care. They didn't!! refund me and didn't!! even offer a replacement. They're in possession of the order and I'm out of pocket for something we didn't have not to mention my wasted time and fuel for the two trips I made because of this one order. The previous owners were much better as the new owners have run the place down. The hygiene standards are questionable too. If you're looking for a good experience with good food, this is NOT!!! the place.

Ive been going to khyber for many years.Kt is the best karachi cusine around.

We went to this place because in the past we had we had good food at kyber based places. We ordered their platter that had chicken Tikka and seekh kebab. The food was really sub par and definitely not up to the pricing standard. In the same price you can get excellent food in Birmingham, Leeds and Brad Ford. Old meat was used in kebab and not evn freshly prepared. Worst of all were the fries that had too much oil in it and they acted like they didn't really care. Fake reviews are used by the owners to promote the business. Never going there again

Such overpriced food with completely taste less products

The Food was just mindblowing, Haleem SUPERB, CHICKEN TIKKA BIRYANI - MINDBLOWING & the Muttom curry - AAAAAMAZING !! The service was amazing toooo, very friendly staff and loved the food

Excellent Halal Desi Food and Extremely Friendly staff, it was our first time, the chapli kebabs were awesome, they gave us free kheer and gulab jamun. Highly recommended.

Yesterday I tried lamb karahi, beef kabab, nehari and palak chicken. The taste of lamb karahi and beef kabab was amazing but palak chicken was not good

Extremely unprofessional service and untidy unkempt restaurant. The food was just par, I think most of the reviews are fake. We ordered Karahi and kebab, the waiter actually threw the leftover food on the floor to clean the table 🤮. No concept of hygiene and food taste is also average, AVOID!

Tasty food, but you have to order 1 hour before.....

Best food just improve service food is best

Taste of food is excellent specially chapli kabab

Awesome Food Mohammad Sajid good man and Fareed lovely person

Food taste is very good, it’s one the underrated restaurants but food is far better than any other Pakistani Restaurants in Cardiff. Only issue is short staffed, they don’t deliver, very less space to sit & eat, furnitures need to be replaced. If this restaurant upgrades itself then it will beat all other desi restaurants in Cardiff.

Dine-in is not recommended for big groups or families but great food

We had haleem, chana dal, roti, chapli kebab. Food was hot, fresh, good, very tasty and delicious. The only thing is they took more than 45 minutes to prepare the food but it was amazing.

Worth the short walk from the city centre! Great food and friendly staff.

A well deserved 5 stars for quality of food. I spoke with Ahmed about the food I would like - a chicken biryani with plain madras sauce and a Chapatti. Chicken off the bone, of course - though Ahmed went to the trouble of explaining I could have had the chicken on the bone if I so wished. He went to a great deal of effort to check exactly what I wanted or didn't want, and the resulting meal was beyond my expectations. I will certainly be going back there regularly. My search for a delicious Indian meal is over. Well done, Ahmed!

An oasis of authentic flavors awaits at Khyber Cuisine. From savory Paye to aromatic Haleem, each dish is a delightful homage to Pakistan. With impeccable service and a welcoming ambiance, it’s a must-visit for any food enthusiast.

A Flavorful Journey: Exploring Khyber Cuisine's Nahari Nahari, a quintessential dish of Khyber cuisine, encapsulates the rich culinary heritage of the region in a single bowl. Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing the authentic Nahari at Khyber Cuisine, and it was an unforgettable gastronomic journey. From the moment the dish arrived, the aroma of exotic spices filled the air, foreshadowing the delight to come. The Nahari boasted a tantalizing blend of slow-cooked tender meat, typically beef or mutton, infused with a symphony of traditional spices like cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The meat was so succulent that it practically melted in my mouth, a testament to the meticulous cooking process. What truly sets Khyber Cuisine's Nahari apart is its velvety texture and robust flavor profile. The gravy, simmered to perfection, struck a delicate balance between spicy and savory, with each spoonful offering a harmonious explosion of taste. The depth of flavors was further enhanced by the inclusion of bone marrow, which lent a luxurious richness to the dish. Accompanied by freshly baked naan bread, the Nahari provided the perfect canvas for savoring every nuance of its complex flavors. The soft, pillowy texture of the naan complemented the hearty nature of the dish, creating a culinary synergy that left me craving for more. Moreover, the attention to detail in the presentation was commendable. The Nahari was served piping hot in an earthenware bowl, adding an authentic touch to the dining experience. The generous garnish of freshly chopped cilantro and ginger added a burst of freshness to the dish, elevating its visual appeal. In essence, Khyber Cuisine's Nahari is not merely a meal but a sensory experience that transports diners to the vibrant streets of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. With its unrivaled taste and impeccable execution, it stands as a shining example of the culinary mastery that defines the region's gastronomy. Whether you're a connoisseur of Pakistani cuisine or simply seeking an unforgettable dining experience, Khyber Cuisine's Nahari is a must-try delicacy that promises to tantalize your taste buds and leave you yearning for more.

Amazing food using fresh, cooked to order ingredients with personal recommendations from the owner / chef. This is a down-to-earth no-frills establishment but don't walk by, go in and enjoy.

Very friendly and food was amazing - we had lamb kahari. Will definitely return next time in Cardiff

Decent kebab bit expensive but alright, shabby interior, but lots of space. The curry is good and the sheek kebab is a red colour meat, nice garlic sauce

12/10 the best pukthoon food reminds me of my homeland Mansehra ♥️👌

Love the karai .. anyone looking for desi karai plz plz visit here..

Sometimes all you crave is authentic pakistani delicious desi food, With oven hot traditional naan, I forgot I was in cardif. It's not a fancy restaurant, seating is limited, needs repair etc. To me what matters is Flavour , generous serving at a great price...that was outclass, so for me 5 star. If your are around cardif looking for desi food, this place is highly recommended. Serving our order took time but once wok and naan arrived it was worth the wait. Person taking order was nice&friendly young guy. We had complimentary kheer that was delicious. now we will be driving to grangetown just to savor the flavors. I hope they will improve other things n keeping flavors and service intact.

Food is ok, but rest needs to improve. I asked to speak with Chef but he dodged and hide from me. All I wanted to know is where is he from, if he not from KPK then dishes dont make sense and taste like khyber cuisine.

Tried this fantastic Pakistani restaurant for the first time and had a good outing. It is a typical Desi/ Indian subcontinent place with a wide range of options on the menu and is open till late night. The restaurant is located on Corporation Road, a bit away from the City Centre, which makes it not a popular spot but is worth dropping by if one is passing this way. It's a not so fancy restaurant, but has enough tables for dine-in, friendly staff and good food. Whatever we tried was well-cooked and tasty. Their menu had a wide range of both Vegetarian and Non-Veg options, all at reasonable prices. We had a light meal - “Spicy Karahi Chicken Fry” with naan, roti and “Karak Chai”. It came to a total of 20£ for two, which makes it 10£ per person for a decent dinner with a hot beverage. The staff was friendly, and courteous. The ambience was decent, with clean tables and toilet. There's nothing fancy about this place, but it's good enough to spend some time to dine in for lunch or dinner. Parking by the road close to the road also won't be a problem, even during busy hours. Had a good overall experience. My scores: Food Quality ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food Quantity ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Plate Presentation ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food Menu options - Non Veg ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food Menu options - Veg ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Drinks Menu options ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (no Alcohols, only bottled drinks) Hot Beverages Menu options ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Just saw the normal Tea) Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Decor ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ambiance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Value for money ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My verdict: It wouldn't come close to some other Desi restaurants in town, but it's a decent one, worth giving more than one try, given its value for money. Anyone with Desi Spicy taste palette would like it.

Good foods and comparatively bigger potions

The best Nihari in the whole UK!. Chicken karahi is out of this world. Extremely friendly staff. They always take care of us :)

The food taste is nice and well cooked. Tables were not cleaned when arrived. They cleaned it later though.

I had food it was amazing could be least spicy the rest perfect the staff very lovely and polite

I was glad to find this place in Cardiff to eat. The guy there was so cheerfull and welcoming Whenever I'll visit the city eating there is a must Nabil

The best chicken Karahi and Chapli Kebabs in South Wales - hands down. Original food and taste unlike the usual Indian takeaways and restaurants which have rubbish food.

Worst time management, you will have to wait more then expectations for a single order but rest Everything was good.

Nice food chicken karahi was nice. Fresh cooked .they tried their best to serve. Also tried kheer and gulab jaman was perfect. Chick tikka little bit burnt .ordered chips as well but black oil stuff on them taste was ok

Had such a lovely food from great staff. Best authentic food.

Lamb karai to die for. Order in advance over the phone as they always cook fresh.

Nice food but some really spicy, although I love spicy food some members of my family couldn't eat the spicy dish. The masala fish however was amazing, really recommend this one. The atmosphere I was expecting to be an actual restaraunt a little bit more fancier but it was still comfortable. All in all it was a pretty good lunch/dinner spot. Thank you Khyber Cuisine!

Yummiest food. We were invited by a friend. Specialy the chicken karahi... we enjoyed every bite of food. The ambiance was not very up to the mark but food was worth it. Any friends going to cardiff will make sure they have a meal at khyber cuisine.

Decent family owned business. Tried chicken karahi, chicken tandoori and masal fish. Each dish was outstanding leaving no room for complaints. 10/10 would visit again.

As a real Pakistani not British born one and hailing from Lahore this place had much more to offer in taste and quality when it was run by Pathans. To start off, the place looks shabby and tables are all sticky, waiters are having jolly time around the place and not keen on hospitality. I ordered a lamb karahi which was not lamb but of aged sheep(Mutton meat) I could taste the meat was of an old cattle and not up to the high standards. The cooking of it was done well but there was an exceptional amount of oil which I can say was neither desi ghee/butter or olive oil! The biryani had a funny colour like all Bengali or Indian wanna be Pakistani foods have (Orange) and the meat again was of an old animal. The Saag was okish and had been made some days ago by it’s taste. The staff had no idea of difference between a Naan, Kulcha and roti and charged different amounts also on billing. The whole experience was okish and I would not go again unless I miss home a lot as mirchi is even worse in food terms. Prices are extortionate as well when compared to Birmingham & Manchester.

The food tastes amazing lovely awesome, I can't explain in words I advise u to eat. u will definitely enjoy

Lovely small outlet. The gentleman who served me was very concerned about my taste and was proud of his food. He gave me Kheer free of cost when my mouth was on fire. Chapli Kebabs are the best.

Food is awesome as they prepare fresh... wait times are high ...

Lovely Pakistani restaurant, gives you that vibe if you were eating at one of the Pakistani restaurants in Pakistan.

Second time orders mixed up, food is tasty but order management is poor

Food not cooked Properly Take too much time To serve not nice please to eat

Very nice food Friendly environment fast service

Good authentic food and pleasant staff. Good for a quick bite in a casual with some vegan options at reasonable prices. Would recommend.

After visiting this restaurant I taught it would be like any other restaurant. But little did I know this restaurant has some nice dishes which will tickle your taste buds... they specialise in karahi and chapli kebab.. I found the Dal Gohst to be very tasty and the bread that they serve here ks really nice.. a must try place...

Food was nice, however we were served meat after telling staff we were vegan and then had to change. Also they haven't updated their menu and charged us more than what is on the paper menus. Shame as the food we did eat ok, quite oily and would have given more stars if had been given veg samosa as it says on the menu, not meat samosa

The food and service was excellent. Authentic desi taste. Highly recommended

Best for authentic Pakistani food in cardiff

زور سوپاس براکەم بو ئەم خزمەتە جوانەیە و رێک پێکییە راستی خارنەکان زور خوش و پاک و خاوێن و ستاڤی دل کراوە هەنە ، وە نرخەکانیان زور گونجاون دووبارە دەستەکانتان خوش سەرکەوتو بن

Traditional pakistani food which is reasonably priced. Has a no frills sit down like a greasy spoon.

It took us around 40min to wait for our order but it was worth waiting. The food was super delicious. We tried chapli kebab and nihari and both were finger licking good. Definitely will visit again.

Good , delicious Pakistani food especially spicy recipes.one of the best Pakistani restaurant in south Wales which serves typical Pakistani food. Recommend it for Pakistani food lovers .

Excellent chicken tikka roll made a perfect lunch!

Delicious food . Pure Pakistani taste

Hopeless. Boiled chicken cooked in gravy. No taste just the spicy. I will never buy again

One of the best in Wales Beautiful chicken pilau Best lamb curry

The Food's Microwaved, it is made during the day or morning. The Kebab's, Naan's, Roti's Fresh. The Food Item includes Kebab Mix, which consists of seekh kebabs with naan, Haleem/Daleem, Chanay, Egg Kofta and much more. Chutney and Spicy Sauce is available.

Chapli kebab was very good but lamb carahi was so bad

Excellent fresh cooked food. Pekora and Baji's very bad. Stale and quite nasty tasting, we binned em! Contrasting experience!

Love their chapli kabab, biryani and chana curry.excellent service. Definitely will go there again

This is my second time coming. We came all the way from Birmingham. The food was spot on and flawless. Amazing service. We were served by Ahmed and I thank him for his really good service. We will be coming here regularly. We had Chicken Karahi, Daal Fry and Nihari. Everything was delicious, I really recommend this place to anyone passing by.

Hygiene zero needs improvement .dirty takeaway please avoid .

Last sag dish stale and uncannily sweet rather than savoury as it should have been. Owner eager to help and please on the positive note.

Delicious food great service will definitely come back. Keep it up guys and thanks for new place recommendations. Highly recommend.

Best kebab I have had in Wales.

Very very slow service, they give priority to eat in customers, do check your order before doing take away they have no idea about what u ordered. Disappointed 👎

Delicious food! The karahi, daal and kebabs were all delectable and would definitely come again. Was a long drive from Birmingham but totally worth it. Loved every bite!

Fantastic food. Very basic to eat-in.

Chapli kabab,chicken karahi,maash daal,naan,kheer was delicious

Good service. Amazing food! Their Chicken karahi is one of the best in town. Highly recommend this place.

Chaplie kebab amazing! One of the best I have ever had!

Very tasty food and freshly cooked

Amazing , if you like traditional asian food this is the place . Their karahi’s and chapli kebabs are amazing . We came from London and were looking for traditional pakistani food - great we found this place . Naans were fresh , but the kebabs and karahis are a must. We ate here two days in a row due to how delicious food was ! Thanks

Banging food if you like spice and quality well worth the drive

Food arrived on time. That was the only good thing am afraid. Food was covered with a lot of oil. Taste was bland and not as per dish. Ordered rumali roti which should be very thin and light. Got very heavy wheat faratas instead. Will not order there again. Had to throw the chicken curry and lamb for the first time...in one word, disappointing.

Good service, great food ! Highly recommended.

Charged me 25% over the displayed rate list. Rip off especially on eid day

Over charged me as compared to the prices displayed on their menu.
