Closed

They don't open on Mondays. They didn't update Happy Cow and also didn't on their door. I was in front of their closed doors and used the free city wi-fi to check their website and then I found out that it's only from Tue-Sat (see screenshot). It's very annoying when you are travelling and obviously don't know the vegan places in each city/country, you must always check at happy cow for nice recommended places. You move yourself to the place hoping to eat there, and it is closed. The place didn't care to advise their customers.

Just what we needed.

Clean, fresh hand made foods. A cool seating environment and food for the needy. Helping others by helping yourself. The large thali plate is large! #Veganuary

Just great

I always loved atma since day one. Such a great concept, mixing great food with ancient wisdom. Whenever I eat out there I always feel cared for by the great staff.
The food is unbelievably tasty, especially the curries and dal, and what to speak of their unbeatable mango lassi!
I also really love their Wednesday programs, where you get to think a little deeper and out of the box. I dont know many places which have so much on offer in terms of wellness and healthy living.
Definitely the best place to hang out in Cardiff for sure.

Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff, Wednesday programs

Hi Greg,

thank you so much for such a positive review! We really appreciate it and are really glad you enjoyed. Apologies about the lack of toilets, unfortunately its rather out of our control as shopping centre closed the toilets for covid and never reopened them. So we have to direct our customers to the closest cafes/restaurants. We hope it hasn't affected your desire to visit us again.

We hope to see you again soon, thank you so much again!

Simple, delicious and kind

A tasty good value meal served with kindness in a peaceful cafe. You can also give so that others who cannot afford to eat may be provided a meal for free.

Tasty, affordable food in a relaxed environment

A lovely little vegan cafe with a range of savoury and sweet options at good prices. We had the thali which was really flavoursome and the strawberry milkshake was gorgeous. They have frozen meals to takeaway too.
