I love this place! The menu changes every few weeks and they are not afraid to experiment with different food from around the world. I love that there is always something new to try. The food is well presented and delicious! The service is also great!

Food good. Decor straight out of the sixties but that doesn't affect the food. Staff pleasant, service reasonably rapid, prices reasonable.

Tasty food, friendly service and v cheap. Perfect for a casual, mid-week dinner when you cannot be bothered to cook and you want some delicious food.

Went on a Saturday night and took our own bottle of wine (yes they let you do that even though they do serve alcoholic drinks too). The menu is limited to around 4 or 5 starters, mains and desserts but it changes frequetnly and there's a "token" meat eater's dish in the mains just as you might find the reverse... More

As a committed omnivore, I visited this restaurant with a vegetarian friend. We chose it based on trip advisor reviews. I liked that I was able to book online rather than having to call, given that they are only open a couple of days per week. The food was outstanding, and BYOW is a big plus. The menu wasn't huge,...

This is lovely little restaurant that specialises in vegetarian food, they only serve a small number of dishes, and one or two meat dishes to keep meat lovers happy. To my mind this ensures that you will get fresh food cooked from scratch, and that is what we got. The food was great, very tasty and good value for money.... More

First visit and definitely would go again! Not a vegetarian at all but thought we would give it a try and was amazed with the flavours especially the "tofu" . The staff were very helpful and even the chef came and checked if we enjoyed the food... I think the empty plates answered that one. The apple and plum pancake... More

Yet again I have had a great meal with a group of friends at this restaurant. I really can't fault it -from booking the table to the choice of food it is one of the best places to eat in South Wales. It is great value and although my reason for visiting is the fantastic vegetarian food, I take friends... More

Visited last night with friends and was impressed with the quality of the food - something I was expecting as I've heard many favourable comments. The dining room itself is quite basic but its none the worse for it really. The menu includes three-four choices for each course at very good value. My three courses were all very good with... More
