    “For years now I have found Pramod’s food consistently intriguing. There’s a mastery of subtle spicing, an understanding of what makes Southern Indian cooking great. His cooing is never fussy or pretentious: it’s all about feeding you well. This is cooking with a passion: traditional, handed-down-through-the-family recipes alongside others inspired by his travels. It’s evocative, a skillful presentation of memories of home”

    “I’m absolutely buzzing, that Pramod is back in Cardiff with Kumari! I highly recommend the pulled lamb burger! It’s jam packed with lip smacking flavour and delicate spices. It will be one of the best burgers in Cardiff in my opinion! Or if burgers aren’t your jam, then the Truck Stop Chicken is out of this world!! If you’re a foodie, then you have to try Kumari’s food!”
