Fresh food and even better service. They have just created a new menu to cater for not just adults but kids also. The owner is a bit unique but not a bad guy lol. Definitely worth the money and always on point with food. Could eat here every day 😊

Four Turkish ladies, travelling back to Bath from Cardiff, decided to stop randomly at Sen BBQ — without knowing anything about it — and what an absolute gem we discovered! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest welcome, as if we were old friends. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, and the hospitality truly heartwarming. And the food... wow. Absolutely delicious! Everything was perfectly cooked — smoky, rich, and bursting with authentic flavour. You could tell it was a family-run business, with so much care and passion poured into every dish. We felt like we were back home in Turkey. This is hands down the best Turkish food we've had in the UK for a very long time. If you're ever near Cardiff — or even if you're not — make the trip to Sen BBQ. You won't regret it. Thank you

Just had a meal with my family, i can say the food is lovely. The place is lovely too as you cannot see it from outside. Once you enter and look back of the place. Staff's are friendly too. Menus are more traditional than what we find on any other Turkish restaurants. The portion size is good too. I would recommend to try this place.

First time eating here and absolutely loved it. Once i ordered, the owner came to check to make sure i understand that the food I ordered was spicy, i assured him and asked for fresh chillies as well 😄 i really enjoyed my meal and the service was really excellent. Was offered extra bread and hot tea after my meal. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great Turkish meal. And I'll be back, whenever I'm around Cardiff .

My family wanted to go to another restaurant across the road to eat dim sum so I came here alone instead. Easy to read menu of starters, mains, sides and desserts. Very reasonably priced. There is a sit down bit at the back which is fine. My food came as requested altogether and I chose the deep fried feta parcels, chicken shawarma with salad, bread and rice. Everything tasted so fresh and the chicken was lovely and moist. I was treated to a small plate of Turkish Delight which seemed to be home made and tasty. I ordered 2 portions of baklava to take away as per my husbands request and we ate those later at home. Really friendly staff and very relaxed atmosphere.

Probably the best restaurant we visited in Cardiff. The food was excellent! Decently priced, large portions, fresh and very tasty! Went with my family and we had a fantastic time. Please visit if you're near Cardiff and looking for great tasting halal food

Properly decent bit of Turkish grub in West Cardiff. Reasonably priced too. The wraps are great. And the shish is better than the shawarma. I like to go once every few weeks, and I'm yet to have a bad meal, sitting in or taking away.

Fantastic restaurant. Authentic Turkish food. Reasonable price . I had chicken shish, lamb shish bbq. It was yum. Their home made buttery bread, chilly sauce is too good. Turkish tea in the end was complementary and good

Great kebabs that are always cooked well and are really flavoursome. All the sides are also really good and homemade. Fast service when we’ve sat in and reasonable prices.

1st time going there and what a welcome, got offered Turkish tea not really a tea drinker but I'd drink alot more. I had a mixed kebab wrap which was probably the freshest food I've had in canton. Definitely worth being the first takeaway to think of if your eating out!!💯

Best Turkish bbq in Cardiff, the home made shawarma is the one with their home made buttery bread. If you haven't been here this place is definitely worth a visit you will not be disappointed. Shame that they didn't gave the iskander when I went

Fantastic best kebab in Cardiff. You can est in or take away. Although make sure that you dont leave it too late to visit as they sometimes run out towards the end of the night. That's how good they are. I always have the lamb kebab, it's amazing.

my first doner kebab since the 90’s we live just off Cowbridge Road so are grandly spoiled by leisure catering which means we’re going to leverage our pounds and get great value this mixed chicken and lamb doner was nine quid with all the trimmings takeaway it weighs as much as a newborn it is Very delicious I’ve put the LARGE sabatier knife where I’ve eaten to so far and I was properly hungry I am stuffed and these guys have put a solid catering marker down that’s a very good return on nine quid 🏆
