Friendly staff. Good music. Wasn’t very busy so there wasn’t much atmosphere. We got sat in a strange side room too which didn’t add. Nice cocktails.

Rice in hard lumps, hopper's sold as a must...when it was cold and bland and hard to get attention to pay bill. And maybe I'm too old but bench seats are so uncomfortable. Rest food better... The mango curry and devil pineapple were great.

Fantastic food, ambience, price & staff! No chickpeas, which was devastating but the dahl curry & coconut sambol were, as always, to die for! Thanks so much, you guys. You never fail to impress (& I've taken LOTS of friends there to try my favourite food on the planet - Sri Lankan!)

I stumbled across this place when doing some research for where to get a vegan lunch in Cardiff. It was recommended on the Facebook page ‘Eat out vegan, Wales’. Coconut Tree has a tapas type format, so we chose 3 dishes each plus their pancake-type signature dish wrap. The food was a journey of discovery and tasted great. Prices were very reasonable for all those fresh ingredients and the service was great too. We can’t wait to visit again on our next trip to the capital.

I have recently visited the coconut tree before with a group of 6 and we had a fantastic meal and evening, I thought it would be a great place to bring my partner, i booked in advance and was looking forward to another great meal, unfortunately when the food was brought out it was cold, my partner let the team know and they did take our meal away and replaced the food, some of it was hot and some were still cold for the meals that they were, we did eat our meal and then paid and left upon leaving the manager did pull us to one side and refunded our food costs , a nice gesture but unfortunately we will not be returning. I do hope they sort out what happened as it could be a great place.

Place is nice, sat outside at one of those huts. I was REALLY disappointed with the food though. The only thing I enjoyed was the sweet pancake with coconut ice cream. The main food was bad in my opinion. Everything felt like a microwave at home quality. Very disappointed.

Great service menu was explained, very informative waiter (sorry didn’t catch his name). We ordered a variety of dishes (8 in total) all were excellent. My favourite was the Amba Maluwa (mango curry), Devil pork & pineapple excellent, expected a little more from the Jaffna Goat curry (Little more heat & flavour) but my wife loved it. For Drinks, we had classic Mojito I was not keen. I would definitely call again despite a couple negatives. Need to try more dishes 👍🏻. Returned in the evening for a few more cocktails, recommend the Beach Boy and Yaka. Good work guys, very interesting restaurant that’s definitely worth trying.

The food was great but when a staff member showed up at our table with a drinks order that was wrong she got annoyed with US for their mistake. Making a comment along the lines of what was she supposed to do with the mistaken order. And the service to pay was slow. The guy serving us was lovely however.

Always loved visiting here it’s one of my favourite places. We visited over bank holiday and were disappointed that the majority of the meat and fish dishes were unavailable as you’d think that more would be ordered to make sure demand could be met. Although, the staff are always lovely and willing to help you pick dishes if you’re unsure and will definitely keep coming back.

Great staff.. food was tasty but arrived lukewarm and as we were sat outside it went cold very quickly. Would be quite expensive if you didn't get the 50% off that we had.
