Qamariyah, Four Elms Road, Cardiff: restaurant review
On August 10, 2025 by The Plate Licked CleanSo often, restaurants are where we make important memories. Several local places I’ve loved have changed hands recently, and it’s hard to walk back through those doors without the past tugging at your sleeve. Take the newly opened Qamariyah: when this was the city’s only Persian restaurant, Mowlana, it gave me my favourite memory of

Sumisu Ramen, Stooge Coffee, Trinity Street Hastings: review
On May 20, 2025 by The Plate Licked CleanI seem to spend my time in Hastings in little rooms eating lovely things. There are worse ways to spend your life, I suppose, and here’s the latest: the twice-weekly Sumisu Ramen popup from husband and wife team James and Ai. The town library, the Grade II-listed Brassey Institute, seems to looms over Trinity Street
