A fantastic find. Tucked away on the street. We spent an entire evening there sampling starters - loved the mono - and sharing main courses with the best Nan bread I have had. Lamb was beautifully cooked. Spices perfect. Staff extraordinary friendly. The 4 of us had a great evening out.

This is an unprepossessing place on the main drag of Cardiff but it's a brilliant place to refuel. I don't actually like pizzas very much but their Pizza Naans are really, really good and their burgers similarly tasty and full of flavour. Their food is also very high quality (not your usual fast food) but also very reasonably priced. My lamb burger was just full of beautiful pieces of lamb in a lovely curry sauce and not what I was expecting at all (but in a good way!).Thoroughly recommended for a light lunch or more serious diversion when in Cardiff.

Visited here on a sunny Saturday afternoon and thankfully managed to get a table outside - the place has such a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. And the food is incredible - genuinely one of the best curries we’ve ever had (and we’ve eaten a lot of curries all over the world!). First of all, they have momo on the menu which you very rarely find in the UK (and are my favourite). For a main I had the lamb vindaloo which was actually prepared like a vindaloo is meant to be - sharp and spicy but not just a plate of overly spiced generic curry as you get in a lot of places. My partner had the aubergine curry which was also amazing. Will definitely return next time we’re in Cardiff.

My boyfriend and I came here after wondering around the city centre for somewhere independent to eat. The 80’s music drew us straight in! The menu was inclusive and catered for everyone. I suffer from a peanut allergy and they facilitated this incredibly well. The service was fast, friendly and the food was perfect. My boyfriend is quite the foodie and he didn’t stop raving about the lamb curry, impressive seeing as he’s tried a few in his time! I am so glad that we stumbled upon this restaurant, especially when we could see the castle right in front of us. If you’re passing, you won’t regret it!

My friend and I, visiting Cardiff for the weekend, decided to try Chai Street (Canton) after not really having any real plans of where to eat and this was a lovely surprise! We booked last minute through open table and both thoroughly enjoyed the food. It was top class! We both had the thali trays and it was a great tasting selection of Indian food. The atmosphere was lovely & the decor was really modern and inviting. Cant highly recommend enough. If you like Indian food, try it, you will not be disappointed.

Pensamos que esto podría ser lo que dice la comida callejera, sin lujos, sin pretender ser alta cocina francesa, como suelen ser muchos de los restaurantes indios mejor calificados. Evitamos la opción thali para seleccionar un grupo de platos que compartimos, pollo, langostinos y cordero, más un plato de keema y un poco de col frita. Todo estaba muy sabroso, sin lujos.

Highly recommend the food, quite frankly, it was amazing - the most delicious, and best value for money in the city centre, by far. However it was hugely let down by our waiter on the evening. He was quite honestly, ignorant, rude and completely inattentive - which completely ruined the experience, had the waiter shown even the remotest ounce of interest in us, or even said thank you when we left - it would instantly be a 5 star experience. Judging by the other reviews here, we seem to have just gone on an off-night. Will go again, and hope for better service. Also, the toilet could do with a bit of a refurbishment, not the nicest.

The menu looked interesting and went to this place late evening for dinner. The place was quaint and reminded me of the corner cafes and eat-outs in Southern India. The staff were very friendly and I ordered the Chai street ale, vegetarian thali with the cauli rice and extra sides. The ale was fantastic! The different varieties of curry in the thali were disappointing. I was expecting more flavour but it was more heat (chilli). There are better restaurants in Cardiff which serve close to authentic Indian flavours. The dessert was gulab Jamoon served with ice cream and it was good. Overall 3 and half stars. Reasonable value for money.

Ideal para un almuerzo lleno de sabor y bastante abundante también. Me encantan los thalis (bandejas con muchos compartimentos, cada uno lleno de un mini plato diferente y sabroso), la limonada india y el kulfi, pero hay una amplia selección de delicias económicas para las papilas gustativas. Parte de la comida es amigable para los niños (hay un menú para niños) y hay mucha que no está caliente, pero si su hijo realmente odia cualquier cosa, aunque sea ligeramente especiada, entonces siempre pueden comer papas fritas (gruesas y atractivas) mientras usted come más. aventurero. Es un buen lugar informal con un personal muy amable.

We came across this restaurant by accident last night, as we were heading back to our airbnb after dinner. As Indians, me and my friend were surprised to see an Indian restaurant with masala tea in the menu and to top it of, the retro Indian decor caught our eye. Masala tea was very much authentic and made us visit the restaurant again today for lunch before we left, we were fortunate to live a few hundred yards away from the Chai Street. We ordered Chicken Biryani, Thali (with lamb, Potato, chicken, rice, lentil) and Masala tea. Krishnan’s hospitality was unparalleled, had a lovely conversation with him about random topics. After living in the UK for a while I have understood that there aren’t many authentic Indian restaurants in the UK. Most of the Indian restaurants (even the ones top rated on trip-advisor) are not authentic and not even close to being called as Indian, mostly from my experience have been Bangladeshi cuisine altered for the local with the Indian Restaurant tag. Hope more Restaurants take some lessons and stick to being authentic. Thanks Chai Street for the lovely meal and being authentic.

I really wanted this place to be good. The look of the place from the outside and inside looks so cool and quirky. I honestly haven't tried the other meals but mine which is the popular choice of the restaurant (thali dishes) wasn't worth recommending. Not a fan of the metal plates it's like being in school or prison, the curry which was the best thing of the dish was just runny with lumps of chicken, and without the curry I felt it was a glorified starter and all for £12-£14 slightly overpriced, once you look past the novelty of the restaurant and silver trays (which is the selling point) regretfully food wise I wouldn't say this was a great place.

The atmosphere in here is always cosy and friendly. The staff really care about your experience. The food is always delicious and I'm never disappointed. Recently there has been a price increase but this is to be expected I suppose due to their success. It hasn't put me off! My favourite place to take my visitors for dinner.

Was a real exercise trying something new. This isn’t your usual curry house! With help from, I think, the owner/manager though we got excellent advice and what cane was better than any of us expected.

Absolutely loved this place. Husband and I had a lamb curry and chicken curry with indian bread, a basket of poppadoms and chutnies. It was so delicious. Chicken curry was quite spicy which I wouldn't normally like but I just couldn' t stop eating it! Very highly recommended. Please gives this a try when in Cardiff Bay. You wont be dissappointed.

Well worth a visit. Very informal street food curry house. The service was excellent and very well priced. Loved the little torpedo sweets.

We're fortunate to live a few hundred yards away from Chai Street, which means we get to spoil ourselves there quite regularly. Always a delight. Their Thali's are lush. One of the most authentic Indians you'll get in Cardiff.

Don’t get it. Picked up some hugely overpriced cold curry to heat up at home. Staff took it ‘out the back’ for 10 minutes to package up for us to take home. Which, for all we could tell, was putting the boxes into a paper bag. What took 10 minutes? Cost us £40. Got home, heated it up and it’s probably the most disappointing curry I’ve ever eaten. Very confused as to the popularity.

Mi marido y yo desayunamos aquí. Fue una experiencia agradable. La primera vez que vine aquí con mi marido fue increíble comida. La segunda vez que me había venido hete me sentí que mi comida estaba un poco lejos y mi freshy zumo de naranja natural había sido aguadas así que no es una buena relación calidad-precio. Pero en general, todavía vienen aquí para el desayuno, como la comida es buena.
