Purple Poppadom
Cardiff, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
Purple Poppadom cooks Indian food through Welsh ingredients on Cathedral Road — Goan curry made with Welsh sea bass, rogan josh with Welsh lamb. The idea reads like a gimmick until the plates arrive; the spicing is serious and the local sourcing is not decoration. Desserts turn to Welsh honey, and the vegetarian half of the menu is developed rather than tacked on. Dinner only, around £22, on one of Cardiff's grander Victorian streets. It has spent years making the city's case that Indian cooking in Britain can be regional in both directions at once.
