Harden's survey result
Summary
The “upmarket and tasty Indian cooking” “never disappoints” at Keralan-born Anand George’s well-known fixture in a first-floor location away from the city centre, which is “worth trekking to” for an experience that’s “a cut above the normal suburban curry house” – “a must whenever we’re in Cardiff, for its attentive service, impeccable cooking and wonderful food”. (All of the good number of fans who comment on it are from different parts of Britain… none are from Wales!)
Summary
The “stunning quality of the food” served at Keralan-born chef Anand George’s flagship over the past dozen years has made it one of Wales’s best known Asian restaurants. The subtly spiced cuisine is matched by “very efficient and professional service, so a meal here is like going to the theatre”. Top Menu Tip – “the sea bass in mango (aka ‘Tiffin sea bass’, chef Anand’s signature dish) is delicious”.
Summary
“Extremely popular and rightly so” – Anand George’s Keralan specialist in the Cardiff ’burbs offers “classy cooking with subtle flavours”.
Summary
“Anand George's recipes celebrate Kerala and its cuisine” at this nouvelle Indian in the Cardiff ’burbs. Notwithstanding the odd gripe, all feedback here says the cooking is good or better.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
