Takeaways in Cardiff

City-centre collection and student-area delivery — check hygiene before you order.

Where we have checked takeaway menus, typical meals sit around £9.95–£11.95. Cardiff takeaways cluster around the centre, Cathays and Splott — collection is often quicker than app delivery on busy nights. Check the FSA hygiene rating (0–5) and confirm the menu price matches what you pay at the counter.

What to know

How to choose tonight

Use the Food Hygiene Rating, recent opening hours, and a menu you can read with prices. Prefer collection if you want the food hot.

Delivery apps

Apps are useful for discovery — still check the hygiene rating and whether the menu price matches what you pay at the counter.

Independents vs chains

Local independents often publish a paper or web menu. Compare portion size and delivery minimums before you commit.

Is collection better than delivery?
Usually yes for heat and sometimes price. Confirm the collection time when you phone or order.
