Vegetarian Food Studio

We come here a lot, one of our favourite restaurants in Cardiff. Really like the thali but if there are four or more of you, you can do a group deal where the chef picks what you eat. We have done that with friends and they loved it. Great dosas!

Ordered the masala dosa with mogo chips, paneer samosas & mutter kachori to share as a starter between three. Homely Indian restaurant in Grangetown.

Great food, we've not been before but will most definitely go back. Service was a little slow due to there only being one person at front of house. Plenty of choice both GF & vegan, will return again when we're not going on to another event.

My favourite Indian restaurant.... I am not vegetarian but the food here is so full of flavour I don't miss having meat in the meal at all. The vegetable samosa are the best I've ever tried (and I spent 1 year in India), and the Thali are a real treat. Always recommending to friends, family and colleagues.

On a recent business trip, I really fancied a Gujarati meal. A Google search brought this place up and the reviews looked great....so I thought I would give it a try. (FYI I am Gujarati). The server was efficient and friendly, the resturant has a sort of charm about it. Sadly the food was a let down. I ordered a plain dosa and a mixed platter of snacks, with salted lasi. The lasi was nice (it's really hard to get that wrong!). The plain dosa was not crispy at all. In fact you would expect a dosa to hold up its rolled up shape, not the one that I got.....it was flat, not crispy, and the flavour was only just passable. The plate of mixed small bites was awful....I left most of it. I think the waiter must have thought I was full and offered to pack it for me to take away - I said no thanks. I was genuinely so disappointed, I was looking forward to some homely food, I can't see myself coming back here. I couldn't work out why the reviews were so high, I think all I can put it down to is the the large majority of reviews are from non-gujarati customers, the lack of other options in Cardiff for similar food...... come on Cardiff, you can and should do better. And as for the owners of the resturant, I know you cook better than what you serve at home, do the same in your restaurant so others can appreciate the wonders of Gujarati food like we do at home. I had to grab a subway on my way back to my hotel!

Despite all bad reviews, we thought of giving a try. To my surprise my experience was no where matching even a single word people bad in those aggressively written bad reviews. Absolutely lovely food, almost like 'Ghar ka khana'. Recommended visit place for someone looking for healthy, hindu, satvik and proper vegetarian food. With a cozy atmosphere and a menu that boasts a variety of flavors, it’s a place where every dish tells a story of tradition and taste. The service is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Whether you’re a vegetarian or just looking to try something new, this studio is definitely worth a visit. 🌿🍛 Must try Gujarati thali. Parking can be done on cooperation Rd plenty of free parking available on the both side of road. It is 6 minutes walk from the restaurant.

Like other folks, we were attracted by the Google reviews to visit this place! No doubt, it is spacious & have nice ambience! Unfortunately, food was very disappointing. Starters were almost different forms of potatoes (frozen) loaded with chillies and smeared in raw oil. The main dish arrived - A vegetarian thali having barfi covered with fungus! Absolutely shocking! How could a named restaurant ( claims serving people nice food) can serve you food with mould and put potential health risks to others. Horrible thing was that the owner never realised or apologised about this and sent a server with a full bill to be paid! After I spoke to owner, she told me ridiculously to take the service charges off and was being rude! I wasn't agree with her offer. Her reaction and words were," that's free food for you, go & don't pay anything ." Which is quite unacceptable & rude towards customers!

TL;DR : Atrocious food, STAY AWAY! Money can be better spent at other restaurants, e.g. Lezzet. It was half the price, double the serving, and ten times the taste. (From a fellow Gujaratis POV) I can tell the owner isn't a fan of bad reviews as seen here, but serious action needs to be taken. Went in with really high expectations from the reviews here on Google. Utterly disappointed. Customer service was good. However, water was the best thing we had. When it comes to the food, everything we had was bad. The Batata Bhinda dish, was not fresh; The texture of the potatoes was very grainy, and the bhindi was overcooked mush. Somehow even then, I had pieces of hard old inedible bhindi in it. The vegetable manchurian sauce/base was unlike any I've ever had in a bad way. In addition, the parathas were frozen and store bought (as confirmed by a member of staff), and not even made to order, hence it was chewy, anyone could buy it from the store and cook it better then they did. The sambar had a homecooked Gujarati taste, not proper south indian style though; and the idli was more like dhokla.

Try it (it's good value) & amazing quality. Definitely amongst the best Indian restaurants I've ever tried (and probably the cheapest). No British-Indian here, this is as authentic as it gets & as flavoursome too! In keeping with that it doesn't serve alcohol, but BYO is fine, and it's vegetarian. As any meat-eater (and veggie) who's eaten here will testify - why can't all veggie food taste like this! Order early if taking-away, they're very sensitive to neighbours' concerns about noise/parking, so they close v promptly!

The best Indian food I have ever had in my life. Possibly even best FOOD I've ever had! Almost didn't go as I thought I was in the wrong place. Looks can be deceiving as I almost left after standing out the front of a very average looking building. However felt right at home as soon as I entered the door. I was greeted immediately by the friendly owner and staff and told about the menu and recommendations. After ordering food and drinks arrived quickly and looking around the rest of the restaurant I could tell everyone was being treated like royalty. When the food arrived my mind was blown, I had ordered £7 worth yet was given a huge array of breads, rice, curry, soup and a dessert, all of which was fantastic. I cannot recommend VFS enough, I'm even considering going back to Cardiff this weekend just so I can come back here!

I've been disappointed . The dosa could really do with more filling, and their sambar/dall is warm and tasteless, instead of hot and spicy to compliment the dosa. Their chats all have the same yellowish sauce smothered over them, which is awful. Ambience is great though
