Duchess Of Delhi

Superb hospitality, divine cuisine and the perfect Cardiff Bay location. I took my grandmother here for a superb Saturday lunch. We ordered the beautifully delicate Goan Fish Curry with Swordfish which was the best I've ever had, the Beef Rendang which was beautifully balanced and the meat sublime, along with classic Pakoras and Tikka starters which were outstanding. The waiters and management were genuine and the atmosphere sings of a traditional family run restaurant where every aspect was pure and enjoyable. I highly recommend here for casual dining, family meals and evenings out. We will be back soon, thank you so much for a lovely afternoon.

WARNING ! - First time at trying this Place- ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING FOOD! Please see enclosed Photos of what they think Is acceptable to deliver! I am willing to bet that they would NEVER serve this appalling standard of food in their restaurant as It would be sent right back! You should be ashamed that you serve food like this, esp with your ridiculous prices! I will NEVER order from you again.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday evening, around 8pm. I called beforehand to see if they could fit us in on late notice and they said it would be no problem for us to come without a booking. Great for us, but equally a red flag as what restaurant with such great reviews would have space for walk ins on a Saturday night? Hmm. Service was quick and all the staff were pleasant, however they forgot some basic things when we asked for them which was quite annoying. I ordered the mango chicken which, to my disappointment, tasted absolutely nothing like mango. I would have sent it back but I was so hungry I couldn't be bothered with the fuss of ordering something else and waiting longer. My other half's meal was similar too. Basically if you like excessive amounts of coriander and spice with not much depth of flavour, then come here. Also, it is wildly over priced for the quality of the food we received. Won't be coming here again.

Very overpriced and average quality food. Came to £45 a head for a starter, main, rice and poppadoms to start, with a pint or two each. A group of 8 of us and some of the curries were lacking in flavour and a bit watery. Starters particularly dear for what you get. Also some strange policy on Sundays where they only take cash, albeit they let some people pay by card. Won’t be coming back…

What a great place! We visited the city for two nights and ate here both nights. The food was delicious. The staff were lovely and welcoming. Had we lived here, we would have come here all the time.

eek. i have no idea how this restaurant got best asian restaurant of the year (?). the food was bland, the only flavour they used was chilli. i have quite a high spice intolerance but the food was far to spicy… especially the chicken tikka masala which is meant to be sweet. the portions were small and overpriced. if you want indian food there are hundreds of better places. don’t waste your money or time here.

The elephant in the room with the Duchess of Delhi is that it is a little pricier than your usual Indian restaurant. However, after eating here for the first time I can safely say that it was well worth the money - the food is delicious and the service is impeccable. I can’t wait for my next visit here as no other Indian meal I’ve eaten in South Wales comes close.

What an incredible experience, the food was amazing, the staff were fantastic and cocktails were delicious.

Would recommend for a group night out or Date night.
