Indian Summer (restaurant)

The Indian Summer was an Indian restaurant on Dolphin Quay in Cardiff.

It opened in the mid 2000s and quickly established itself at the forefront of Cardiff restaurants.

It was renowned for its "contemporary Indian cuisine with a special touch, derived from the intimate geographical knowledge of [its] chefs". The restaurant walls were painted white, with big, abstract artwork and stark black furniture; it was far from a stereotypical Indian restaurant.

As an appetiser, the Indian Summer served poppadoms, lime pickle, raita and chopped onions. It's dishes included Karachi chicken with lemon pilau rice and a sag paneer. A lamb dish was also available. Among the beverages, the restaurant served bottles of Cobra and cups of coffee.
