“ This place has been around since my childhood, so popping in is always nostalgic for me (although there have been significant changes over the years). The atmosphere is calming. Shop in peace to a variety of spices and wholefood options. Reasonable prices so can't fault it. The loveliest part is being able to dine in for some Indian style street food. Food is freshly made and superb. Hope the business keeps going and going....and the owners reap the rewards for good customer service! ”
“ A fantastic spot for Indian snacks and thali, where the hospitality from Mr. Maruti and his team is truly exceptional. Their warm welcome, accompanied by delicious food, makes for an outstanding experience. ”
“ A very nice spot. Genuine and authentic homecooked indian food. An open kitchen run by a kind lady. Generous portion sizes, great taste and super cheap. Will definitely come back ”
“ Fantastic value, friendly and welcoming staff, good selection of Indian food made authentically with love and care. I ordered the Maruti Thali special, onion bhaji and Mango Lassi. The mango lassi was thick, creamy in texture and the perfect level of sweetness. The bhaji was a little overcooked and stodgy, but had a nice flavour. The thali had the largest range of elements I've ever seen in a thali with each one tasting unique and complimenting each other. Both curries were rich in their depth of flavour and were bursting with flavour. Overall a lovely experience and I would definitely go again. ”
“ It is such a good place to have authentic Maharashtrian food in Cardiff. Felt like a warm hug from home as we enjoyed their breakfast special poha... Do visit ”
