Ponnuswamy Restaurant

You'll find yourself on City Road in Grangetown, where Ponnuswamy has quietly built a loyal following with straightforward, honest South Indian food. This isn't the kind of place that gets caught up in fusion nonsense—it's about getting the fundamentals right, whether that's a crispy dosa or a properly spiced curry that actually tastes like something. The dining room is unpretentious and lively, filled with regulars who know what they're after. It's the sort of spot where you feel like you've stumbled onto something locals have known about for years.
