“ Food was fantastic, Chaplin kebab real peshawari taste. Chicken Karahi was fresh bit spicy for me but my wife loved that karahi. Fresh hot hot fluffy naan bread We went from tredegar to cardiff to try some desi food so we found this small restaurant takeaway Will definitely go again for this food ”
“ 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. ”
