"We visited as a diverse group from a local specialist resource base attached to a high school. We had been learning about Ramadan and Eid and wanted a great experience to remember so a small group of staff and learners with a range of additional needs visited to sample a variety of dishes. We were served by a lovely and attentive staff member, Nihal, who ensured that everyone had what they needed. He also answered our learners ' questions about fasting and celebrating Eid. As we had contacted the restaurant before our visit our food was quick to arrive at the table. As it was lunchtime- we arrived at 12:30- on a Thursday, we were the only diners and there was plenty of space for all ten of us to sit together. For some of our learners it was their first time tasting curry and between us we managed to consume three different types of curry along with rice, chips, naan bread and poppadoms. As well as the opportunity to try some new foods and learn about a different culture, visiting Salkaara allowed our learners to work on developing their independence and social skills in an unfamiliar environment. We had pre-ordered food on a set budget so can 't comment on the wider menu or pricing, but what we had was delicious and enjoyed by all. We asked our staff and learners for their highlights of the experience: Food was good The curry was nice The curry tasted delicious, and the poppadoms. The food was delicious Poppadoms are great Poppadoms were good Recommend sampling the peshwari naan Excellent service from an attentive waiter Very very polite guy with great willpower at the end of Ramadan"

We think this is the best curry in Cardiff by far. Interesting dishes, love the Thoran vegetables, Goan pork amazing, naan bread superb

The meal was mediocre, with food that was just okay. The service was slow and it took a while for the food to arrive. However, the taste was better than expected. The naan bread was plain and lacked flavor, but the rice was decent.

We recently had one of our best Indian dining experiences at this restaurant. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. We ordered the Nawab Murgh lamb shank, coconut rice, and decided to try the fig coriander naan bread. It was all really delicious.

The Keralan curries at this restaurant are wonderfully creative and delicious. Don't miss out on the lamb shanks, the Dabba Murgh Indian road curry, the mango vegan dish, and more. The friendly young ladies working there greet customers with warm smiles and patiently assist them in choosing their meals. Be sure to try the fig and coriander naan as well.

Having read the reviews was expecting more. The menu is somewhat different than your usual curry house offering. A great selection of fish dishes but none of the traditional dishes you would expect. The starter of beef chilli fry was small but nevertheless full of flavour as was the lamb trio. We had a basket of poppadoms which came with the tiniest spoon size dishes of dips costing £3.95. The lamb shank was also a small portion served in a bowl of curry sauce. The tandoori salmon was the easily the best dish both in quantity and flavour. The restaurant was extremely quiet and the service was slow. I was surprised to see that a 10% service card had been added to the bill automatically. Had I...

Not quite sure how to go about this review as I am still gobsmacked about the experience my Wife and I had at the Salkarra. Was a bit uneasy at the lack of customers when we went in 10.30pm ish Saturday. Ordered the usual popadoms and dips came with three of the smallest round dishes which contained the 'dips ' teaspoon (measure) in each one. Fast forward to the main meal. Tried to order chicken madras but they did not do it. Tried for a lamb biryani did not do it. Ordered what I thought was a curry dish but was presented with two pieces of what looked like tandoori chicken which would have been acceptible but it was inedible. The chicken was so salty I had to spit it out, To be fair my Wife...

Firstly the reviewers who complained about the lack of biryani and tikka masala should read, learn and expand their narrow cultural knowledge and horizons they may learn to love life a bit more Secondly please don’t come here expecting to find your ‘traditional’ curry house menu Finally do come here if you appreciate amazingly cooked food The first time I tried Kerala cuisine was at the famous Tharavadu restaurant in Leeds so good I went back in the same week I was there So, I couldn’t believe it when I saw we had a Kerala restaurant in my home city And it did not let me down I admire the fact they offered tasting menu’s as it’s clear people aren’t accustomed to this type of cooking it’s a g...
