Mint & Mustard

Top choice in Cardiff


Leather-backed chairs and mint and mustard decor are the sleek setting for a toothsome insight into the wonderful cuisine of the southern Indian state of Kerala. If you're not enticed by Malabar seafood moilee (prawns, mussels and squid in coconut milk, black pepper and a spicy shallot masala), there are plenty of vegetarian options and standard Indian-restaurant choices, too.
