Mums Daily Indian Restaurant & Kerala Cafe is at 149 Cowbridge Road East in Cardiff. Founded by Neethu Johns and inspired by the cooking shared with a large online audience, it places the flavours of Kerala within a broader Indian restaurant menu.
Kerala specialities include coconut and spice based chicken curry, fish curry sharpened with tamarind, and beef fried or roasted with onions and aromatics. Dosa, porotta and ghee rice provide distinctly South Indian accompaniments and alternatives to familiar naan and basmati rice.
Biryani, tandoori dishes, paneer, chickpeas and vegetable curries extend the choice across India, while Indo-Chinese rice and noodle dishes add another strand. The unusual combination of banana fritters and spiced beef shows the kitchen’s willingness to highlight regional pairings.
Mango lassi, Kerala tea and coffee accompany the food, with collection and delivery available alongside dining in. Guests with allergies should speak directly with management because coconut, dairy, gluten, nuts and other allergens may appear across the menu.
