The 'eating out in Wales' thread...

Had the stewy pot thing in CN. £15 for as much as you can eat of lamb, prawns, squid, agarics, mushrooms, fishballs of different types, pork stuff (like spam), tripe, etc. You get this boiling pot like a fondue and five plates of stuff that you cook yourself in either regular or spicy sauce. When you finish something they bring you more. Worth having if you've not eaten in two days. Didn't really manage to get into the extra plates but two nearby (probably starving?) Chinese customers where, I think, on their third round of lamb.

Lamb with ground chilli is worth having, it is not as hot as it sounds.
 
When I lived briefly in Cardiff we got to know a couple of local gourmets. They took us out on a couple of occassions to special places and the food was simply wonderful. Sorry, can't remember names, it was a good few years ago but there are some great places to eat in Cardiff.
 
anyone ever eaten in Koko's in Salisbury rd Cathays?
had a groupon for indian meal and it was LUSH!
didn't look promising as it is a pub set up but food really nice, fresh and authentic with decent portions
 
Tried Mehfil in City Road. Good to go somewhere that's not good to appreciate other places around. It'a free buffet type of no-alcohol-allowed place. Meat curry should be relaunched as bone curry. Spinach chicken burnt and dry. Drinks service very slow (so much so that one of the guys had pretty much finished his main course by when his drink ordered forty minutes earlier was brought out). No highlights.
 
went to Mowglis a couple of weeks a go for my dad's birthday.

think there was 30 of us there and the food was delicious

best Indian in Cardiff
 
He's also asking which is better, Albany Fish Bar or The Codfather. I somehow replied CN. Anybody else thinks that the quality of the AFB has gone down in the last year? Or that Snoop should have chicken, chips and curry instead of fried chicken?

might have to have chips from there tonight now!
mmmm and a samosa...

there is a groupon today for 50% off snoop tickets at CIA on 8 oct btw
 
weve been to koko gorillas.... didnt expect such fantastic food as it looks like a strange cross between a pub/bar/ carvery which is now abandonned.. but OMG deeeelish! and very very reasonably priced
 
Cafe Madras in City Road. Good, snacky Indian. Lots of vegetarian choice, their king fish is good. The menu sort of forces you towards having a dosa as a main, but not necessarily. Lots of dumplings, soups, and tasty starters. No chicken tikkas, rogon joshes, baltis or anything similar on sight. Also, you can bring your own booze.
