Nice lunch option - Edit
Fixed menu with Thali in 3 portions. Very nice flavor samosa and dal! Decent currys. Kind staff. Toilets are at Cafe Nero which is a serious hike to the ladies to wash your hands. Lunch is nice vibe to relax and enjoy meal.

Good food in a very welcoming restaurant - Edit
Might be the best vegan Indian food in Cardiff. As far as I understood they cook different dishes every day and you can order varying sizes of platters containing more or less of the different dishes they cooked.
Read moreThe big platter for example has a dhal, rice, chutney, curry, samosa and bread. While the smallest one has only the dhal and chutney.
Also do not forget to order one of the delicious lassis!
Pros: Very nice and welcoming staff, Everything is freshly cooked this day, Lassis!

Disappointing Thali - Edit
We were excited to visit Atma Lounge after reading some glowing reviews, but the large thali we shared was very disappointing.
Read moreThe samosa and chutney were really nice, but sadly both curries were bland, whilst the bhaji was dry.
Staff and ambience were lovely though. Maybe we caught them on a bad day.

Just great - Edit
I always loved atma since day one. Such a great concept, mixing great food with ancient wisdom. Whenever I eat out there I always feel cared for by the great staff.
Read moreThe food is unbelievably tasty, especially the curries and dal, and what to speak of their unbeatable mango lassi!
I also really love their Wednesday programs, where you get to think a little deeper and out of the box. I dont know many places which have so much on offer in terms of wellness and healthy living.
Definitely the best place to hang out in Cardiff for sure.
Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff, Wednesday programs

Hi Greg,
Read morethank you so much for such a positive review! We really appreciate it and are really glad you enjoyed. Apologies about the lack of toilets, unfortunately its rather out of our control as shopping centre closed the toilets for covid and never reopened them. So we have to direct our customers to the closest cafes/restaurants. We hope it hasn't affected your desire to visit us again.
We hope to see you again soon, thank you so much again!
