Staff swapped a dish for my dietary restriction, no fuss. The meat thali was a good call, loads of variety on one plate. Just what I needed after a long walk.

Cozy spot, no frills. Owners are lovely, makes it feel personal. Had the braised lamb shank - fell off the bone, rich sauce. Could&rsquo;ve used a touch more seasoning for my taste, but the meat itself was spot on. Solid neighbourhood find.

The outdoor play area was a lifesaver! Our little ones were happily occupied, so we could actually chat and enjoy our food without interruptions. A real game-changer for a family lunch.

Service was pleasant and the pasta was pretty good. The waitress was attentive without being overbearing. A solid meal overall, though the portion felt a bit on the smaller side.

Love how light and airy it feels in here. The split-level floor and wooden ceiling give it a really open, welcoming vibe. Just a nice place to sit and unwind.

The bottomless brunch portions were generous, and the house ros&eacute; was a surprisingly good match for the eggs benedict.

The steak was exactly medium-rare as I asked. The peppercorn sauce was rich and had a nice kick. Veggies were crisp and well-seasoned. A solid, straightforward meal.

Been coming here for years, and the burger deals on certain days are still a solid reason to swing by. Portions are generous, which is nice. The kids&#39; menu is a decent size too, keeps the little one happy. It&#39;s just a reliable spot for that.

First time trying the Lamb Cawl here. It was so rich and hearty, really hit the spot on a damp evening. The broth had a deep, savoury flavour that was just right.

The staff were lovely, the food was delicious and my kids and I had a lovely time. The air con however was a little cold but they turned it down when they realised.The seats need some TLC and it&#39;s not very pram friendly but the staff went over and above to make sure that we were as comfortable as possible.

A decent spot to watch the Six Nations. The Welsh atmosphere is pretty good, though it does get quite loud.

Food came quick and tasted good. Drinks were decently priced, especially for the city centre. Not a bad spot to grab a bite.

The fish and chips were solid, a proper generous portion. The fish was flaky and fresh. I had a local pale ale with it, which cut through the batter nicely. Classic pub grub done right.

Came for the weekend live music, stayed for the drinks. The house red was surprisingly decent for the price, really complemented the laid-back vibe. Music was a bit loud for conversation, but that&#39;s fine for a casual night.

Nice quiet spot for a Saturday lunch. The building is easy to get into, and the disabled loo is right by the entrance.

The vegetable lasagne was really nice and filling. I appreciate that they have both vegetarian and vegan choices clearly marked on the menu, makes ordering so much easier. Good, honest food for the price.

Good for a quick bite. Lamb biryani had great flavour, portions are big for the price. Got my food fast, which is what I needed.

The afternoon tea was nice, but the wine pairing felt a bit off.

Came for the fish and chips on a Friday. The batter had a nice hint of dill, and the chips were spot on. The portions were generous, which I appreciated. The space itself is really bright and airy, with big windows.
