Cardiff's City Road is a hotbed of exciting and exotic culinary cuisine and there's nowhere better to grab a bite to eat if you fancy curry, kebab, fried chicken, Middle Eastern fare or a traditional British cafe.
So, if you're fancying a dinner out or a takeaway at home and can't decide where to visit, an extra factor in considering what to eat tonight could be the food hygiene ratings - aka the scores on the doors.
We've listed them all here just so you can make that educated choice.
First, here's how the ratings are decided.
What's taken into account when judging a hygiene rating?
- How hygienically the food is handled - how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored
- The condition of the building - cleanliness, layout, ventilation and other facilities
- How the business manages and records what it does to make sure food is safe
If a business is given a zero food hygiene rating, it means urgent improvement is necessary. If it's given a five rating, the highest, it means hygiene standards are "very good".
