This is the best Nigerian restaurant in the whole of Wales. Service was top notch and the ambience is just like home. I had the best birthday ever here, thanks so much Essien and team.

I was wandering around city road when I searched for “Nigerian food near me”. A nice quiet walk down to De Splendours took me to a new part of town. Seemed to be occupied by students mainly. The restaurant is easy to spot, right on the road. It is very neat, down to the bathroom which I needed urgently lol. I l enjoyed the Nigerian playlist. The vibe of the place took me home. There’s indoor seating and an outdoor area as well with a large TV, what I assume would be a great location to watch sports, have shisha and maybe host events. The service was great, I got great recommendations and the staff/owners checking to see if everything was fine. The food was very tasty. The portions were rather generous for the pricing. I’m glad my search led me there.

For every time I visited, the food was always top notch. Real value for money! A trial will convince you. This picture was taken at my last visit... a yummy plate of grilled fish with chips, plantain and salad!

We had such a great time at de splendours. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the food was genuinely delicious—everything we tried hit the spot. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the owner. He was so kind and attentive, made us feel right at home, and even treated us to some discounts and free wine, which was such a nice surprise. You can tell he really cares about his guests. We’ll definitely be back!
