Before we get into an argument on what Cardiff Boutique Curry restaurants are, this article is designed to direct people towards a top class curry and away from the Saturday night Indian lager chicken tikka experience. Those are for our match day curry article!
All the curry restaurants here if they have not been given an award at some point have a massive reputation.
We have focused on the city centre, but where there are curry restaurants away from the centre, it is because they warrant visiting.

We have mentioned Moksh elsewhere on the guide, but to omit it from this collection of Cardiff curry restaurants would just be wrong.

Juboraj Restaurants
There are 5 curry restaurants in this group; Mill Lane is in the centre of town. All the restaurants have a good reputation though they are all different in their own way. The others are in Cardiff Bay, Big Windsor, Rhiwbina, Lakeside, and the Express on North road.
Not nouvelle cuisine but a varied menu and very well prepared food.
