Mowlana

Some of the best Persian food we have ever eaten. The owner and his staff were very friendly and accommodating. As tourists we didn't have a lot of cash on us, so we needed to find an ATM to withdraw money to pay for the food. The owner was nice enough to give us a discount for our trouble.

Perfect, best experience of Iranian food. 5 star for ambiance, food and service.
Staff was very accomodating and suggested that we are ordering a lot of food, which we realised afterwards!
Ordered a mix grilled platter which is served with 3 portion of rice and a separate kobaida (which was unnecesary).
Platter is enough for any meat lover.
Also, ordered starter - humus with naan, which was very delicious and fullfiling.
Would recommend it to anyone with a taste for Iranian food.

As an Iranian myself, I was very pleased with how authentic and delicious the food was. I had the ghormeh sabzi and the mixed grill, and they were both amazing. The atmosphere is also great, and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

The second time I came here, I had the koobideh and fesenjoon; they too were incredible. Nothing but good things to say about this fantastic restaurant.

Delicious. friendly staff. Went there for my wife's birthday meal with our friends. We had mix grill for 2 and 3. Lamb chops. Meat were perfectly cooked and tender. Perfect seasoning and rice 😍. Non alcoholic beverages only serve at the restaurant but we were allowed to BYO Wine. The portion were big and we were too full to try the dessert menu. Parking were a bit hard to find but finally got a space after driving around 2nd time.

Came here for the first time, after hearing about it from people in my circle, seating is nice, ambience is good, ordered humus and some aubergine dish, tasted good with fresh Naan. Ordered Joojeh good presentation with fresh salad, but tasted too much salt, could not eat after 1st bite, manager came to rescue but planned to opt for othe dish from menu. Again bland taste, seems like basic no flavour at all. Had to leave food there. Manager said Sorry we will serve you better when you will come 2nd time. This was 1st and last time to this average place. Would not recommend anyone.

My partner and I were on our second night of our visit to Cardiff and were looking for a place to eat when we chanced upon this lovely restaurant. We both never had Persian food before and decided to take a risk as it was something new.

As we walked in, the staff were really friendly and welcoming. We were sat at our choice of table and my partner and I picked the corner where the ambience was quite relaxed and comfortable.

The food was simply mind blowing and we didn't wait as too long for it to arrive. I had the sea bass which was fried to perfection: the meat was moist and flaky and not overtly greasy. The saffron rice it came with was soft and fragrant and just went well with the fish. My partner's chicken Joojeh was deeply flavoured, also with saffron and was tender and quite juicy. Also, I've tried other stuffed grape leaves in other restaurants but Mowlana's Dolmeh were probably the best ones I've had. The herbs and spices used were a real treat to the senses.

Overall, a fantastic restaurant which highly deserves a visit.

The best part of my travel and visiting Wales was going to Mowlana restaurant. I really felt at home. The food was so delicious and service was excellent. I'll defiantly go back again.

Had a lovely meal in this beautiful Iranian restaurant. Service was friendly and the food was outstanding. Try the almond sponge if you're staying for desert.....delicious.
