Legacy Indian Cuisine, Wellfield Road, Cardiff: review
On July 13, 2025 by The Plate Licked CleanI’ve got an ulterior motive for buying you dinner tonight, he says. Alan is a regular here. Wellfield and Albany are his home patch, and hardly short of Indian restaurant alternatives, but it’s here, to Legacy, he keeps coming back. This is his seventh or eighth visit, he reckons. I get it.

On August 6, 2020 by The Plate Licked CleanThere is nothing I love more on this blog than telling you about small businesses with imagination and inspiration, places which epitomise the independent spirit.
