About Chilli Flames Cardiff Central
Chilli Flames Cardiff Central is a halal takeaway in Cardiff city centre, at 95 St Mary St. The kitchen grills fresh, never-frozen chicken and coats it in a secret range of house marinades and sauces. Grilled chicken is sold by the half, and fries and toppings come served with it. Peri peri wings share the menu with a double smash burger for anyone after something beyond the chicken. A large meal option covers bigger appetites. Front-of-house staff serve customers directly.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are about quantity, quality and staff attitude. One reviewer who ordered a half chicken received a single small piece counted as two, with no sauce or extras, and found the staff dismissive. Another said a double smash burger arrived small, burnt and hard, and felt the advertised pictures misrepresent it. A third found the peri peri wings and strips strange and not very peri-peri, and one burger came with two bottom buns. One asks for the tables to be cleaned more often.

“Really love the food and the atmosphere at an unbelievable price. Not many places balance spice and flavor but Chilli Flames does it consistently. I couldn't recommend it more when you are looking for a place to eat in the city center. The food is also halal. I was served by Lohith with superb customer service. I was too excited to eat it and didn't snap a picture to share”

“Burger addict here. Paid £12.49 for a double smash burger. SHOCKING ! how small, burnt and hard it was, could have smashed a window with it. Lucky I didn’t break a tooth. Advertised pictures are a misrepresentation and should be removed. NEVER AGAIN ! COMPLETE RIP OFF !!”

“I had a great experience at Chilli Flames Cardiff. The food was excellent, but what really stood out was the customer service. A special mention to Lohith, who works front of house. He provided outstanding service throughout — friendly, attentive, and extremely professional. He handled everything smoothly, supported the team well, and showed strong leadership, especially during busy periods. You could clearly see that he takes responsibility and ensures customers feel welcome and looked after. Thanks to Lohith and the team, the overall experience was top-class. I’d definitely recommend this place and will be returning again.”

“At Chilli Flames we are all about flavour! We have worked hard to create a secret range of marinades and sauces that cover all of our chicken. Our chicken is always fresh and never frozen. That is why we believe that we serve the tastiest and freshest grilled chicken to our customers.”
