Best for Cheap eats - Expert review of Vegetarian Food Studio
Veggie treats and colourful sweets, this is an Asian restaurant with a twist.
Cardiff has recently developed a fine array of Indian and vegetarian eating spots, and this is where they combine in a fine cosmopolitan, informal way. Its bright light, humble furniture and glass counter provide the vibe of a casual cafe that could be in any built up city in the world; you feel instantly at home... And instantly bamboozled by the endless array of cheap vegetarian dishes on the menu.
Food and drink:
All veggie, largely vegan, and totally tasty, these generously priced bowls are perfect to share among friends. The restaurant is unlicensed but you can bring your own and pay a corkage fee of £1 per person, making a thrifty eating experience even easier on the purse.
Recommended dishes:
The bhel puri is a fantastic start; a crunchy mixture of puffed rice, peas, onion and chutneys, it’s the most luxurious Bombay mix you’ll ever have. Indian cheese, paneer, appears in many of the dishes but works best in their crisp dosa pancakes. Don’t fill up too much, though; their selection of multicoloured barfi cakes is tremendous.
Ambience:
Funky and fun, the Vegetarian Food Studio is a firm favourite with both the student community and families so don’t expect a quiet, secluded meal.
Service:
A family run restaurant, the service is laid back and friendly, the owner is always happy to highlight dishes and explain the combination of ingredients.
Location:
It’s just tucked away behind the centre in Grangetown, a quick stroll over the Taff and you’re there.
Price advice:
Incredibly cheap. No main dish will cost you more than £6.
