Mattancherry, Canton, Cardiff: restaurant review
On September 17, 2020 by The Plate Licked CleanMattancherry stands out on Canton’s lovably scuffed drag.

On August 23, 2020 by The Plate Licked CleanLast year, a Cardiff restaurant on Fathers’ Day: the staff overhear us talking about my daughter’s birthday just the day before, and a complimentary plate of mini desserts suddenly appears, a congratulatory message piped across the plate.
