"Great food and great service I went to Dorothy's as part of a rugby weekend and needed to order for 40 people. The manager (Tas) made sure to cook the food at just the right time so when we picked it up it was freshly made and hot. Everyone loves their food. It included: Cod and chips Chicken Curry and chips (Dorothy's famous dish) Battered sausage and chips And lots of chips. Tas also have us curry sauce, Tesco, vinegar, salt, napkins and cutlery for 40 people. The team were great. Thank you Would highly recommend"

The best late night chippy in Cardiff, amazing chips, battered sausage and curry sauce. Would not go to any other place but Dorothy’s.

Came here on a Saturday lunchtime so very quiet. Staff were very friendly, just had a bag of large chips for £3 and ate them on the train. Would go there again.

Been using Dorothy's since early 80s. Tonight got chicken curry and chips to bring home and well disappointed. Chicken and chips but very little curry. Dry and nasty. Not the usual standard.

Been coming here for many years when in town and enjoyed but the Chicken Curry off the bone was very poor and not as good as it used to be, reading other comments it seems to be a trend, sorry will not be going back again

Local to the hotel we stayed at so popped in as they have a seating area and it was not too warm outside. Ordered and cooked whilst we waited. Fish portion was quite large, but as a previous reviewer stated the only offer cod, but tasty. Have to consider owner's position how many people are willing to pay a premium for plaice and if not then they have to discard. Chips were freshly cooked and whole experience pleasing. Would visit again

"It was the most bizarre experience dining here. First when we arrived in the restaurant, our group set up was that there was someone on each end who was sitting facing an empty chair on the other side of the table. Upon enquiry we understood it was a covid measure, however never had any other restaurants requesting such seating arrangements in the past 20 months. We ordered two split pots, a non-spicy broth for one side of the pot and a spicy broth for the other side. The staff came to confirm that we wanted spicy/non-spicy in each pot. Yes, we said. To our shock when the pots came, one pot was spicy/spicy on both side, and the other was non-spicy/non-spicy on both sides. This was after the staff had came by to confirm that we wanted a spicy/non-spicy set-up, and in the usual situation a person wanting a spicy broth would not have asked for a split pot. We raised this to the staff and were clearly unhappy about it, though did not insist on having the broths changed around. What happened next made it the most awkward and uncomfortable dining experience ever. From where we were sitting, we could hear the owner reprimanding the staff for the error, throughout our meal. We understand mistakes occur and if the owner was unhappy about the mistake and genuinely wanted to apologise, taking the initiative to change the broth to the right setup, or a complimentary drink or dish would have gone a long way. But no, he chose to reprimand the staff within our hearing for the whole dinner (which didn't help the situation one bit and made the experience worse! . We felt sorry for the staff. Even with the hospitality shortage, that was a completely wrong way to help the staff improve, nor help retain them in the long run. I don't remember anything about the food, although photos did show a good range to choose from. At the end of the meal we each received a box of hello panda, which might have helped, if not for the fact they were expired. All in all, would not recommend."
