The Ladz Cardiff — Restaurant in Great Britain

We came here on our first night in Cardiff on a weekend trip from London. We expected a lot based on the glowing reviews here but were disappointed. The food is OK, by no means was it exceptional or fantastic as others claimed here on Google. If this is the best halal burger joint in Cardiff then sorry to say but you got a lot of catching up to do with London!! The best part of the Ladz meal we had was the large portions, they're very generous and use good ingredients. Prices were also good. And importantly the meat is halal. Those were the positives. We had a beef smash burger and chicken peri peri burger with curly fries and spicy fries. The staff member forgot to call us to collect our order even though we were sitting in the near empty restaurant the whole time. The food must have been sitting bagged for a while as it was cold and soggy by the time we got it. The buns were chewy and had a strange taste that overpowered the taste of the meat. The cheese wasn't properly melted into the smash burger and the beef wasn't flavourful. It didn't have that caramelised crusty char on the meat that you usually get on a good smash burger. It didn't have much sauce or seasoning on it either. The chicken burger was better. It was literally a huge whole grilled breast and good quality meat but it kept sliding out of the burger with each bite. It would be better if they sliced the breast into two thinner fillets to get more flavour and sauce coverage. The fries would have probably been phenomenal if they'd been given to us hot as they're thick cut and well seasoned, sadly we will never know as we got them cold and soggy. Enjoyed the Algerian dipping sauce, this is hard to come by in London. Other people seemed to come for takeaway milkshakes only, they seemed happier. We...

After reading the amazing reviews for The Ladz Cardiff, we decided to visit. There were several other halal food spots on the same road, but this one stood out due to its highly rated reviews.

The staff at the counter were welcoming and polite.

We ordered: Half a grilled chicken (lemon and herb) Two peri peri burgers One classic chicken burger

The half chicken was tasty, but the peri peri burgers were dry and cold.

The classic burger wasn’t as expected. It consisted of four chicken strips inside a bun that was falling apart.

The chips were a generous portion at £2.50, though I noticed there were no fries on the menu.

The place was busy, so maybe we picked the wrong food items. However, food quality should be consistent regardless of how busy the restaurant is or what’s ordered.

I was surprised that the restaurant has such fantastic reviews, yet we were disappointed with most of the food. We paid a total of £41.

Reviews also mentioned that staff check on customers at their tables, but we didn’t experience this. While there were a few tables, we didn’t see any staff coming out to check if customers were okay. I complained about the classic chicken burger consisting of four chicken strips, and the response I received was, “I’m sorry, I should have mentioned this to you when you ordered.” We were expecting one piece of chicken breast.

While this spot may be a favorite among locals and students, it didn’t meet our expectations.

If it’s your first time visiting the area, there are plenty of other halal food places on the same road...
