About Castello Grill House

On City Rd in Cardiff, Castello Grill House is a Syrian restaurant built around charcoal-grilled dishes, and every meal ends with complimentary tea on the house. The menu includes a shish and kofta platter with both chicken and lamb, an Alinazik kebab and a mandi meal.

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often point to the mixed grill platters, with chicken and lamb shish, kofta, wings and lamb ribs served with bread and sauces, and several also name the mandi meal and the alinazik kebab. Close behind come generous portions and reasonable prices, which reviewers repeatedly tie to good value. Staff are described as friendly and welcoming, and a few mention a manager who kept up with orders during a busy Iftaar evening. Smoothies and mocktails get a nod too, including the frozen mango and yogurt Castello special. On the downside, one reviewer found the alinazik sauce more sour than usual, and another said the dining room felt hot and humid, though fans were dotted around. Several close their reviews with the same detail: a complimentary tea on the house at the end of the meal, and one family describes a surprise birthday table with balloons, a banner, a song and chocolate cake.

    “Amazing food. Welcoming staff and generous portions. We tried hummus with chicken shwarma, vine leaves, steak and alinazik kebab. All was delicious, I found alinazik sauce a bit more sour than usual but still it was perfectly cooked and delicious. Thank you!”

    “5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible birthday celebration at Castello Grill House! From start to finish, the food was amazing and the service was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to make my son's 12th birthday unforgettable. They organized a surprise table decorated with balloons and a birthday banner, played a birthday song for him, and served a fantastic slice of chocolate cake. The personal touch and warm hospitality made all the difference. Thank you to the whole team for making his big day so memorable! Highly recommended to anyone looking for great food and amazing service in Cardiff.”

    “So glad we found this gem of a restaurant. We had given up on city road, but this place is amazing. We have now been 3 times and each time the food has been amazing. The staff are incredible, from the lady manager to the waiting staff. Absolutely fantastic. Service is brillaint, nothing is too much to ask. Today we even got complimentary tea which was a nice gester after our meal. The prices are very reasonable and portions are gigantic. Very friendly and professional staff. As I said so far we have been 3 times and each time has been better than the last. Our new favourite restaurant in cardiff. 10/10”

    “Food and service was amazing as always. Only thing was a bit of downfall was that it was awfully hot and humid inside. There were fans dotted around and that was appreciated. Thank you!”
