ALI BABAS

Tucked away in Cardiff, Ali Babas brings a refreshingly broad take on takeaway dining that goes well beyond the standard pizza joint. With a menu that also roams through rice dishes and barbecue offerings, this place feels less like a one-note operation and more like a proper feast waiting to happen. Locals in Cardiff have been quietly spreading the word about the generous portions and the kind of cooking that doesn't cut corners, even when the orders pile up.

The pizzas here are built on properly baked bases, loaded with toppings that actually taste of something — none of that floppy, under-cheesed nonsense. But it's the barbecue stuff that really catches your attention: sticky, charred edges, meat that's been given time to soak up the smoke. And if you're in the mood for something rice-based, the bowls are hearty enough to count as a full meal. Whether you're feeding a crowd or just yourself after a long day, Ali Babas delivers to Cardiff postcodes with the kind of reliability that keeps people coming back.
