About Dino's Cafe

Halal breakfast anchors the kitchen at Dino's Cafe, a cafe on Cowbridge Road East in Cardiff, where the Syrian breakfast and the Turkish omelette are among the recurring orders. The menu carries on past the morning into lunch, with a wide range of food and drinks running alongside. Tables are taken on a walk-in basis rather than by reservation, and the doors open daily. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance suits visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are on hand for families with young children. Orders can be packed up as takeaway for eating off site as well as eaten in. Free parking is available, including directly in front of the shop on the high street.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is the clear draw, and reviewers repeatedly single out the halal options: the Syrian breakfast and the Dino's special breakfast both come up as exceeding expectations, with the Turkish omelette named by more than one diner as delicious. Close behind sit generous portions of sausages, beans and eggs, plus a cappuccino one regular rates above the big chains. Several describe the place as cosy and homely with friendly staff, and a few mention returning over many years or planning to bring family. The complaints are fewer but specific: one diner received a cheese jacket potato instead of tuna and a chocolate milkshake instead of vanilla, calling the potato dry and overcooked and noting staff arguing with the chef mid-service, while a former regular says the food has turned bland and criticises the attitude of the front-of-house staff. One reviewer advises bringing cash, pointing out a free ATM two shops down.

Featured reviews

  • Nisha Ruda
    “Really disappointed with my order. The order was wrong, and the jacket potato was extremely dry, flaky, and overcooked. I also ordered a tuna jacket potato but received one with cheese instead and no tuna. The staff also didn’t seem to be paying attention to my order and were arguing with the chef while serving customers. I ordered a vanilla milkshake but was given chocolate instead. Overall, not a great experience and very poor attention to detail.”
  • Ibrahim Abdi
    “I used to come here everyday. Used to be my number 1 spot. Now the food is so bland, feels like there’s no love to the food if you understand. Plus the lady at front needs sacking, it’s like she’s allergic to customer service.”
  • Laith the Connoisseur
    “Review: Been coming here since I was a kid—through college, and now every time I’m back from uni. Breakfast is always spot on, halal, fresh, and they do loads more than just breakfast. The two ladies working there are lovely, proper sweet. Place is popular for a reason—people are always in and out. And don’t judge the portion in the pic—I’d already eaten half of it. I couldn’t wait!”
  • M Anwar
    “Best Breakfast in Cardiff , Best in variety of options available, quality and service. Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere with lots of cultural elements. Picture taken after we had ate a few items off the plates , the Dino’s special breakfast and Syrian breakfast both exceeded expectations 👍🏼 Will return soon with the whole family!”
  • Sol K
    “Whilst visiting Wales with the family, we decided to have breakfast at Dinos. Some of the dishes we ordered were the Syrian breakfast and the Turkish omelette. The food was really nice with lots of flavours and good portion sizes. All items were really well priced. Located on a busy high street with plenty of free parking.”
