About Konak Mediterranean & Fine Dining
Konak Mediterranean & Fine Dining is a Mediterranean restaurant in Cardiff, on Lake Rd W, where an evening meal ends with complimentary limoncello shots. A bar area leads into the main dining room, and a private dining room is available for groups. The menu includes Adana kofte and Mixed Shish, which pairs charcoal-grilled lamb fillet and chicken breast with salad, rice and grilled vegetables.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the Mediterranean grilled meats, with the Adana kofte called perfectly cooked and full of flavour, and the Mixed Shish praised for tender lamb. Close behind is the lunch set menu, which several describe as great value with lots of choice, plus complimentary bread. Friendly staff come up repeatedly, with one family noting a birthday made to feel special and another describing complimentary limoncello shots to finish the evening. Diners also mention fresh food, big portions, and eating outside in the sun as feeling like a holiday abroad. The caveats are specific. One reviewer found the Beetroot Tarator unbalanced, with too much garlic, and the chicken in the Mixed Shish slightly dry. Another thought the moussaka had undercooked vegetables. One lunch visit also had a sticky, debris-covered table that was sprayed with cleaning solution while diners were still seated, and service on the terrace was slow. Traffic and railway noise affect the outdoor setting, and one calls the fine dining label ambitious. Several still say they would return.

“We had a wonderful experience here! The place was clean, welcoming, and had a great atmosphere. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. I ordered the Adana kofte, which was perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and served with great sides. To top it all off, we finished the evening with complimentary limoncello shots, which was a lovely touch! We will definitely be back!”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. By far some of the best food I've ever eaten! I've visited Konak a number of times, and every time has been exceptional. From the friendly and attentive service, to the wonderfully relaxing atmosphere... to the food... seriously, out of this world. If you haven't visited Konak, what are you waiting for! See you soon!”
