Cegin is a small weekday cafe inside Transport House at 1 Cathedral Road in Cardiff. Run by Sugandha and Kuldeep Singh, it describes itself as a Welsh kitchen with an Indian heart and offers a calm, friendly room for breakfast, coffee and lunch.
The everyday cafe selection includes breakfast baps, freshly made sandwiches and toasties, jacket potatoes and a changing hot special. Proper coffee and a concise format suit nearby workers and visitors looking for a quick meal, while the kitchen gives the same care to simple staples as it does to its more elaborate cooking.
Indian influence appears most clearly in specials and in Cegin Halfnhalf, the team’s travelling street food identity. Hand pressed onion bhaji, aloo tikki chaat, biryani and slow cooked Welsh lamb rogan josh show how regional Indian recipes can be paired thoughtfully with Welsh produce.
The Cathedral Road cafe and festival stall share one kitchen but offer two different experiences: a relaxed neighbourhood lunch stop and a lively street food service. That dual identity makes Cegin useful for familiar cafe food while also giving regulars opportunities to discover the owners’ home style Indian dishes.
