Wales v Japan
16:40 · Principality
Late-lunch arrival. The kitchen pours chai at four. Down the hill by four for the anthems. Walk back after the final whistle — the kitchen runs till late.
The Indian bistro on Cardiff High Street with a tighter match-day menu — thali, biryani, cold pints — and the kitchen open from noon on every Wales home fixture. Walk in before kick-off, walk back after the final whistle.
Finished in Nizami spices, served in its own nihari sauce with rice or naan. Tear and scoop. The way lamb is eaten in Lucknow — on a long day, before and after the real event.
Every home match day, this page's menu switches. A tighter card, same kitchen, cooked the way it always is. Here's the short calendar for the Nations Championship — pace your day accordingly.
15 High Street is one of the shortest stadium walks in Cardiff city centre. Out the door, right past the Castle, down Westgate Street. Eight minutes on the clock if you're not hurrying.
Small plates from the tandoor and the fryer. Thirteen kari — chicken, lamb, coast, vegetarian. Three thalis including the full-eighty Special. Four biryanis layered Hyderabadi-style. On tap: Modelo, Camden Pale, Kopparberg. Bottles: Kingfisher, Cobra, Roar Welsh lager. A short cocktail list. Chai and lassi always.
Between the warm-up and the walk down, we publish a short piece on the opposition — who they are, where their food fits, and why the Indian kitchen in Cardiff has something to say about it.
