Reviews in Cardiff and South Wales

The best Indian cuisine in Britain/Wales........by far. The food is magic and the staff are unique (especially the owner and his bro') King prawns in garlic butter's a dream, chutney, poppadoms, garlic nans, mushroom fried rice and a very special chicken pasanda for Cheryl is no 1 The atmosphere is so electric and Sam and Mo sets the perfect scene...... just lush ... try it for your self--you won't be disappointed

I am sad to say we had a dreadful experience at this restaurant. The food was overpriced and the staff rude. We were rushed to our table and were told several times we had to eat quickly as other people were coming in. Three out of our four starters were cold. We didn't say anything, as none of us has ever complained in a restaurant before and we simply hoped the main courses would be better. They weren't. Three of the four of us had steaks for our main courses, two of which, we discovered after a few mouthfuls, were inedible as they were pure fat. When we spoke to the waitress about this, she got the manager who came out and rather than apologising to us, argued the point and then walked off twice whilst we were trying to talk to him! The first occasion he walked off to go and retrieve our steaks from the bin to present to us to continue arguing that there was nothing wrong with them. I was entirely shocked. Never seen anything like it. Unbelievably poor service. Would never go back.

An excellent restaurant. The food is always fantastic, the service attentive and the prices very reasonable. They've accommodated all our requests, dealing professionally with parties of various sizes, including an all-female party which would have terrified many establishments. Recommended.

very good food served by warm accommodating staff who knew their product and would help choose from the great menu of the best ingredients, very good ambience, nice place to be will return again and again

The Castle Inn at Llansteffan is a superb example of how a traditional pub should be, the best beer, Brains Dark, and a landlady who cooks fresh food that represents the world.

a warm friendly pub with bubbly happy people that have a warm welcome for everyone. there is a good kitchen and are always ready to knock you something up at a drop of a hat. regularly have themed nights with fancy dress and a good quiz night on thursdays. if passing its worth while popping in.....

very bad service and food is over price for what you get.it was a shame will not go back

Please vote Masala for the best curry house in wales!!

We recently visited Alfreds Bar & Grill and had an awful evening, the staff were badly trained and cleared the table before all of the party had finished eating, even leaning over one of us who was still trying to finish their meal We complained and the owners father was extremely rude. We were visiting this area and would certainly not recommend this bar for the service and hospitality that this region is famous for.

the met is an excellent place to eat, we had a lovely meal and drink. excellent value. in the evening we returned and the place was transformed into a live music party venue....superb.

have eaten at this indian and their new place in westgate street, cardiff and both are exceptional. good service, good food and a nice family type atmosphere. cant recommend it enough.

what a fantastic meals we had there on last weekend.very nice.service was excellent food was great.masala is the best in town.they deserve the welsh curry awards.

A thoroughly disappointing experience. 15 of us booked but weren't allowed to sit together even though they were able to accommodate this. Paid £14 for a stir fry which was nothing more than a palmful of rice and four slices of duck. It was the first time ever that I was actually hungry after eating at a restaurant. The cheeseboard with the large port was an instant laugh for everyone as I have never seen such a small glass in all my life. If you wanted ice cream or cream with your dessert you had to pay extra. To top it all off we weren't allowed any coffee because our table had been booked for another sitting! We were asked to pay as quickly as possible and move downstairs - a waiter stood over our table to make sure this happened. A costly and poor night out.

The restaurant was clean waitress looked a bit dirty on the whole nice place to go.

On a Saturday evening three out of the five "specials" and the first choices from the main menu were all sold out leaving little but burgers, steaks and pasta bake . Having quietly complained to the waiter that one of the steaks was not well done but burned black ( to a thickness of 5mm all round ) we were advised by the manageress that " this was how our customers like them ". With a large banner proclaiming "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT " outside it can only be inferred that the change at this formerly reliable eatery has not been for the better .

Now generally the standard of food in South Wales is good and it is very rare that I do find a restaurant which is worthy of a poor review. Having visited the Ynyscynon on a previous occasion and had a very poor meal indeed I felt that perhaps it was a one off and a review at this time was inappropriate so I had to return for a second time. The Ynyscynon having previously known as The Golden Post now has an Indian Restaurant on one side and a Pub restaurant on the other side. Whilst the glorious smell from the Indian side should have persuaded me to enter there my other guests were not indian eaters so we decided on the pub side..... Boy was I wrong again..... I decided that I would have a chicken starter which turned out to be unavailable and therefore I opted for a prawn coctail and to be honest that was OK but you can't really go wrong with a prawn cocktail. There was no soup for starters and when asked about that they replied that never have and it is only available on a Sunday Lunch. Perhaps a few tins from Asda may not go amiss. Main Course was a great T bone steak cooked medium to rare and whilst the steak and the chip portions were good the steak was the opposite. It was well done and would be better placed on a sole of my shoes and OK perhaps the chef didn't hear it right and they did say sorry and that they would replace it. Then two minutes later my steak was return and I could see why it was returned in two minutes as it was just shown the grill on two side and when I cut into it it was very very rare and I am sure I heare it mooooo ...... When I spoke to the waitress again and said that it was very rare she said well that's how my brother likes it and he likes it medium rare. To which I replied that beleve it or not I am not her brother..... I decided not to have any dessert myself but the people on the other table complained that their cheesecake was very dry and a little stale. So all in all I guess my second visit was not a great success and to be honest I do not think that I will be returning for a third (unless it is to the Indian restaurant next door). So on reflection I would only be able to give 2 out of 10 for the food as they did do the prawn cocktail OK.

Yummy!!!!
