Lahore Kebabish, Grangetown: review
On August 25, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanI love watching a chef work the tandoor. It’s something about the calm, economical movements, I think: the minimal fuss. You appreciate their efficiency, especially knowing, from limited experience, how ferociously hot those ovens are; and how reaching in and slapping the dough-laden gaddi ‘pillow’ against the sides- and getting it to stick- is harder

Here on Splott’s Broadway, Ceylon Spicy Pot is the latest to take up the

Fat Hippo burgers, Cardiff: review
On May 23, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanMowgli, Honest, Pho, Rosa’s: Church St has become a hub of the better chains. And now here come Fat Hippo. Starting in Newcastle in 2010, this is not an overnight success story but a steady expansion across the North before the moves to Wales, Birmingham and London. News of their Cardiff arrival was greeted with
