The burgers are just delish!! I’m gluten intolerant and my girlfriend takes on board eating gluten free meals too when we’re out (so we can share). I absolutely love trying the food that i haven’t seen anywhere else. The gluten free korean fried chicken burger. IS A MUST TRY. the iced lattes are just another level. I really love hudo lounge and the staff… THE STAFF. are just incredible, they’re not too in your face, it’s very much we’ll let you actually enjoy your food.

Lovely vibe here, with plenty of staff: busy but not overcrowded. Sunday lunch is superb. Anna, our waitress, was so engaging and genuinely interested in her job. Gluten free options were clearly explained and every effort had been made to adapt items by changing coatings rather than just 'leaving things out'. Fishcakes were tasty with mild curry sauce. The lamb roast was perfect size and cooked to perfection (rare lamb, just as it should be). Divine roast potatoes... Lemon posset dessert was tangy with British strawberries. This is a top notch restaurant in a trendy location, fabulous friendly service and very moderate prices. Will def. be back.

Absolutely love Italian Way. Fantastic menu, with excellent staff happy to help with any dietary requirements ( our table had a vegan, a gluten free and a lactose intolerant). Extremely good value for money, and genuinely the best pasta dishes I've ever had in Cardiff.

We moved to Cowbridge Road East a few weeks ego and I need to tell you it's our favourite pizza so far. We tried 2 other places first, but Calabrisella is way better if it comes to pizza choice. I have gluten intolerance, but I felt ok after (which I always do in Italy after pizza) so from time to time I will treat myself to their pizza for sure. Highly recommend.

I don't usually leave reviews but they deserve one! The host is fantastic. He's always bubbly and talkative and kind. He gives recommendations for what would give with each dish and the food is always really good. We've been a couple times, had different dishes, and really enjoyed it. Good vegetarian and gluten free options.

Here and their sister site the Humble Onion are our go to places. Fantastic quality food, great attentive service and a fantastic selection of wine. My partner is coeliac and we always know there are options suitable for him and that everything had been prepared safely. Can't recommend enough! Great job to all of the team who look after us!

Super busy when we went, but the staff were *EXCEPTIONAL* regardless of how stressful it must have been. As a table for 6 we were kindly warned about the wait time but were given our drinks speedily and our food came out within the time frame they gave us. It was also a dream as a coeliac! I adored the chicken club sandwich (a beast of a sandwich. good luck trying to take a bite without having to dismantle all the layers.) I highly recommend this gem. 5/5 and thank you to the girls and their amazing service. :)

I'm actually vegan & GF. They don't serve a GF base (this is a pic of their non-GF pizza), but I took my own GF base, and they dressed it with vegan cheeze- like any regular margherita! Charged me a bit under a usual price because I'd brought my own base, too. ● If you're Coeliac, it still wouldn't be good to eat here as they warn of cross contaminatin. But if you're just intolerant (like me) it's all good 👍

Enjoyed a delicious meal to celebrate a friend's birthday. Everyone who works here is so welcoming, polite and helpful. The food did not disappoint and was packed with flavour. Lots of the meals are gluten free (which I have to have) and there are good veggie selections. My friend opted for the Syrian Pidi duck to start and I chose the pan-seared scallops. We had the obligatory tasting of each other's and decided it was all lovely! For mains we decided on Chef Anand's tiffin signature sea bass which was perfectly cooked and we enjoyed the thoran veggie side dish to accompany which was recommended by our waiter. Together with a lovely fruity chenin blanc, this was a beautifully presented and super-tasty meal which was reasonably priced, all in chilled out, stylish surroundings with a relaxed vibe. Well recommended!
