Opening soon, on the corner of Heathwood rd, where that Wok 2 Go place was. I love Greek food, and it's 5 mins from my house. Is it an extension of the place in Caroline st or is it a chain? My favourite is The Hellenic Eatery, Crwys Rd. Food is very good, big portions if you're a greedy **** or too tight to buy for the missus, and very reasonable prices-i thank you.
My sister loves the Hellenic Eatery. That's where she had her 50th last year. You'll remember me grizzling about it as it was the same night as the Champions League final. I thought the food was OK without being anything special, but the portions were good and they were obviously decent people running the joint.Quote:

Top man.
I liked the Greek spot had a few enjoyable evenings there, not even sure if it's still open now?
That's a fine thing to do and your sister has good taste!There's some eateries at the bottom of Caerphilly rd.Quote:

I really didn't like the food from the Jamuna. It was a takeaway a few years ago, very bland. Should probably try it again.
Top Oriental - not great, not keen on the way they do their rice, but some dishes are decent.
We should write a guide to restaurants and takeaways in North Cardiff. No **** would buy it, but it would be something to do.
That little chinese on heol Llanishen fach is at the lower end of very good :hehe: Chinese take aways are great, there must be something in there rental agreement that they only have to modernise the waiting area every 40 years :hehe:Quote:

Very reasonable prices as well.
I’ve had take away from Maria’s (down the road from Hellenic) which was also very nice.
Is it still there ? I remember going in there years ago. Food was decent .Quote:

For years my favourite place to eat.
Ystafella Cymraeg (apologies in advance to the Welsh speakers/spellers). Great food long before pre-made 'bought in' meals. Always remember the big chunks of bread and butter while you waited for your starter... I was easily pleased back then :-)
