Janata Palace — Restaurant in Wales

Janata Palace, nestled in Cardiff, UK, promises a journey through Indian cuisine, but unfortunately, falls short of expectations. Our recent visit left much to be desired, with the food quality leaving a sour taste in our mouths.

Upon sampling the Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Jalfrezi accompanied by naan, it became evident that culinary excellence was not a priority. The naan, initially burnt to a crisp, was replaced promptly, only to be met with a second batch that was undercooked—a deliberate oversight, perhaps a testament to the chef's ego overshadowing the pursuit of gastronomic satisfaction.

While the service maintained a commendable standard, the prolonged intervals between courses tested our patience.

As for taste, the Chicken Tikka Masala's sugary overload was an affront to authentic Indian flavors, while the Chicken Jalfrezi offered a palatable respite. The starters, exemplified by the Chicken Tandoori, lacked the depth of seasoning and spice that would elevate them beyond mediocrity.

Honest opinion! Never order curry I usually cook it but this day I was very busy, fancied a curry but was to late to cook one so I ordered.

The naan wasnt garlic but the chappattis were good. Sorry but wouldn't...

Visited this restaurant based on the reviews as not from the area, was seated at a table with dirty table cloth then asked to move, had to repeat myself 3 times for our drinks before it was bought to the table we asked for 4 poppadoms and they only bought 2 out, then we ordered our main and the rice was cold and the curry had no taste to it what so ever and was full of water.! I have a love for Indian food and from various places and it’s not always the same but I have never had such a bad experience in my life and never felt I should leave a review. It was shockingly awful £40 wasted! Do not waste your...
