Vegetarian Food Studio
Cardiff, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
Vegetarian Food Studio is a family-run Indian kitchen on Penarth Road, cooking entirely without meat and doing it with a range most omnivore restaurants would envy. The menu runs deep into Gujarati and wider Indian vegetarian cooking — chaat, dosa, curries, thalis — with close to a hundred dishes and a genuine vegan section rather than a token one. It sits away from the city centre in a stretch of workshops and terraces, which is part of why it stays a local institution rather than a tourist stop: four separate Cardiff sources name it among the city's best. Mains land around fourteen pounds.
