Shah's Halal, a halal food chain with more than 50 locations across the UK, is opening its first Welsh branch in Cardiff city centre. The restaurant will be at 3 St John Street, near Cardiff Castle.
Opening Details and Menu
An opening date is expected to be announced this week or early next week, with the new food spot already attracting interest on social media. The chain offers a range of meals, including gyros, platters, wraps and salads, alongside its signature hot, white and green sauces.
Its website describes the food as 'fresh and flavourful, with high-quality meats and fresh vegetables used to prepare meals daily.' The Cardiff restaurant is expected to open seven days a week, from 11am until 9pm.
From New York to Wales
Shah's Halal was founded in Queens, New York, where it opened its first mobile food cart in 2005. The business grew across the United States before expanding into the UK, launching its first UK location in Colindale, London, in 2020.
The company now operates more than 50 locations across the UK, including vans, units, kiosks, pop-ups and stores. The opening in Cardiff will mark the brand's first move into Wales, adding another option for people looking for food in the city centre.
Location and Next Steps
The restaurant's location on St John Street places it close to Cardiff Castle and the city's busy shopping area, where it could attract shoppers looking for a quick meal. Further details about the opening are expected to be announced by the business in the coming days.
