Juboraj Rhiwbina is an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant at 11 Heol-Y-Deri in north Cardiff. Opened in 1989, it combines a traditional Georgian-style interior with an approach that balances familiar regional dishes and more contemporary house specialities.
The menu begins with classics such as onion bhajee, samosas, chicken tikka and sheek kebab, alongside fish, king prawn and duck preparations. The tandoor is central to the cooking, producing marinated meats, seafood and paneer with the char and spice associated with clay-oven dishes.
House specialities include chicken kholapuri with green chilli, cumin and coriander, citrus lamb flavoured with garlic and ginger, and karahi duck with onions, tomatoes and peppers. Traditional curries range from creamy korma to jalfrezi, madras and vindaloo, while biryani, balti and seafood sections make the choice especially broad.
Vegetarian diners can choose paneer dishes, vegetable biryani, balti and a wide selection of lentil and vegetable accompaniments. Set menus, lunch choices and early evening dining can suit different occasions, and the drinks list includes Indian beer, wines and spirits; guests with allergies should consult the restaurant because dairy, nuts and other allergens occur throughout the menu.
