The best restaurants in Cardiff South Wales

Usually get my karak coffee there and sometimes order lunch too. Love the food and coffee. Customer service is great, usually Praveen serves us and he is very kind/smiley. Would definitely recommend Chaiiwala.

Great service from Asanka and really appreciate that.

Absolutely exceptional food. Having previously eaten at the Bath based location, they recommended I visit their Cardiff location. And yes, it definitely did not disappoint. Garlic Butter Doughballs and a Margherita Pizza.... Absolutely delicious. My only sadness, is that there's no Exeter Location haha. Best Pizza going 😎👌🍕

Went to rugby European Final and took my friend who had not been to Mowlis . The food was delicious and service was great. Relaxed in what was chaos out side with Northampton and Bordeaux fans enjoying a few pre match beers . 4th Mowgli I have been to and was the best to date .

First costumers from Costa Rica! Loved the service, food, and attention.

Aleks was a great server amazing brunch

I have been many times before and everyone I am surprised by how good the food is. I’ve lived in Cardiff my whole life and was introduced to empire some years ago after asking for a “curry go to” and upon being introduced I haven’t looked back. Their curries are exceptional, always the perfect level of spice, I prefer the spicier side, ordering a madras and they don’t disappoint! For anyone in Cardiff or for anyone visiting I can’t recommend enough, everyone it meets the mark. If I could vote higher than a 5 I would.

Had an afternoon tea experience yesterday with my daughter and hopefully it won’t be the last. My daughter had bought it has a gift and it was fab. Had never been to this hotel before and it was very impressive. The service was very good from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Would definitely recommend.

Mi amigo y yo tuvimos almuerzo regular aquí en 3 / 31 y luego regresamos para su servicio de té de la tarde en 4 / 1. Ambos días la comida y el servicio fueron increíbles. El nombre del caballero que nos cuidó era tan amable y amable. La comida fue probablemente la mejor que tuve en Cardiff los dos días que estuve allí. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar. ¡Es increíble!

Lovely experience! I ordered a bowl of Yakisoba with a portion of Gyozas and a glass of Yuzu Mitsu. Overall, a delicious and filling meal!

food gone off, complained. Owner threw fish at head ☹️👎💔 do not go.

Not sure where to start maybe with how incredible this venue is. We got married here on 3rd May 2025 and we couldn't of asked for a better day! From our first show around to our taster night nothing was ever to much for any of the staff no matter their position ( its rare you get that kind of service from everyone anywhere else!) every single member of staff was happy and wanting to help. The rooms are amazing our guests took virtually every room and not one complaint. We stayed there around 3 nights split across our time planning and the wedding night and never had one bad thing to say. Our day itself we got married at a church and unfortunately got delayed arriving however when we arrived it was as if nothing was wrong and they made us feel relaxed helping us with a plan to work around our day. Food was simply amazing full of flavour and massive portions worth every penny. Once again to all the staff we want to thank you all for making our day so amazing and we will be back soon 100%

Great little find. Lovely coffee and very generous bacon butties. Service was friendly and welcoming.

Food average, more staff needed in bar. Need to stock basic drinks

Incredible and friendly staff. Stayed here several times over the years and never disappointed. Beautiful hotel In a beautiful location. Food is 10/10 and the staff are just first class. Highly recommend.
