The Coconut Tree - Cardiff

Amazing food, great atmosphere, lovely service. I went in August when I came across it with some friends and was intrigued by the thought of Sri Lankan food, let alone Sri Lankan street food. Well, it went above my expectations, absolutely delicious. Had to go again a few weeks later with my boyfriend and have got it book again with a friend in Bristol as I told her about it and she really wants to go. So much choice for vegans as well as meat eaters, great for everyone.

Food was good but not quite as good as at another branch. The atmosphere was a little flat due to it being quiet and social distancing

Very friendly service, staff were busy but attentive. We were seated in a direction, nice funky decor . Only trouble was the other two parties were so loud we couldn't have a conversation however this is not the fault of the restaurant. Food great, amazing roast potatoes ! I recommend the polenta mushrooms. Nice pint of orchard pig went well with the food. We ordered nine dishes (sounds a lot but they are small tapas style servings ) to share between two of us, it was plenty we really enjoyed it.

Very helpful staff great food and good value will return soon

I can't recommend this place enough! We have really enjoyed the food!

Awesome food & lovely staff. Definitely we’ll be back very soon. Thanks again.

Food was lovely apart from the undercooked chicken wings which was taken away and removed from the bill we ordered prawns and was told 20mins later they were unavailable so had it removed from the bill we wasn’t informed that the place was only taking card payments so we asked for the bill and left cash on leaving they then refused to have the money said only take card payments, this was not mentioned anywhere or informed during the time we were there. Apart from that everyone was friendly service was quick and the food tasted amazing would go back.

Food was incredibly tasty! Very very impressed! Great mix of things on the menu too. Already looking to book again.

I was a little anxious about sitting in a restaurant due to Covid but the staff were wonderful and the seating arrangement was comfortable with enough room between the tables for me to feel at ease. All the staff wore masks and there was hand sanitizer at multiple points. My boyfriend and I went to Sri Lanka last year and we were looking forward to having some of the foods we experienced there and oh did it! Everything was delicious and really reminded us of the delicious foods we had while travelling. Wonderful to see so many vegan options that is typical of Sri Lankan cuisine. Delicious, thank you!

First time Sri Lankan Street food experience and yes really enjoyed it food was yummy and good service

Food appeared to have been old and re-used, camouflaged by the taste of spice... We will not return...

The food was amazing, the staff was very friendly .

Honestly always a fab experience, food is excellent and service is top! Will be back soon :)

We absolutely love the coconut tree! I visited once before lockdown and also got a takeaway from there during, then couldn’t wait to go again once it reopened. I’ve been to Sri Lanka and I can honestly say I prefer the food at the Coconut Tree. It is so good! Would highly recommend the kottu and goat curry!

Fantastic meal and excellent provisions in place. Very quick service.

Amazing flavours, staff friendly and knowledgeable, highly recommend this place.

Brilliant food and great service. Wonderful time had by all

Food was very good as was the service. Covid measures were also very safe.

Food was excellent as always, service was a little slow and we waited a long time for drinks.

First time visiting Coconut tree and will definitely return! Amazing food, still can’t get over the prawns yum!

Fantastic meal, full of amazing flavours. Highly recommend the goat curry and the breaded cuttlefish ...yum! We had 6 dishes plus a roti and rice between 2 of us ...a big too much food, would give the pumpkin curry a miss next time. Will definitely be back!

Staff are great and the food was fantastic will definitely go again thanks for a good night!!

Recommended by my nieces and the food was stunning. Varied tastes and textures and the staff were very attentive.
