Great spot for late night eats. we googled reviews on where to eat late night in Cardiff, this is the first place that popped up after 11 PM. It did not disappoint.There’s a very manageable lineup outside, and you get your order in, in under 10 minutes. We were here with our kids.Our youngest had the sausage and chips , our teenager had the chicken curry and chips, my wife and I split a cod in a box - which was a very large, serving of freshly fried cod, with chips, and mushy peas.We decided to eat in. The dine in spot is very basic. But the food was very good, especially for the price.The staff were very hospitable, knowledgable about allergies, and accommodated us in, and explain a little bit about the 70 year history of the restaurant - especially Tanya. She was so great at taking care of us, checking in on if we needed anything, and making sure the food was good.Highly recommended. Great spot! Great people!

I have been here a couple of times for take away and the fish and chips was amazing and the staff really friendly. Also, portions were generous.

This place was small and sort of a dive, but the food was quite good. We ordered the fish and chips, which we were immediately told that it is made fresh to order and would take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to make. Which we thought was reasonable. This place also is known for bringing chicken curry to the Cardiff area, so we felt the need to try their specialty. Plenty of food their portions are generous. The fish was a foot long piece of fish with a hearty helping of fries and the chicken curry was a large helping as well, plenty for two people. This fish was delicious, the chicken quite good, and the fries were just ok. Definitely recommend if you are visiting not a fancy place, but it sounds like it has some history to the area which we appreciated.

This is always my first choice if I crave some quick food on matchday. Staff are friendly and efficient, even on the busiest of days. Food always comes out quickly and tastes superb.

I had to try out the gravy and chips. Everybody seemed to coming out of the pubs and heading for here. Dry long drunk queue but worth the wait. It was only gravy and chips but was it was

We were looking to get some carbs on board prior to the Prodigy gig in Cardiff, some 'fat of the land' you could say . Picked Dorothy's at random, with some trepidation but it was quite busy 'everybody was in the place'. No need to have worried, I could 'breath' easy. Freshly cooked chips that were up there with the best, a generous portion (not quite '3 kilos') a battered jumbo sausage with no gristly bits and a good classic flavour with decent batter. The coup de gras though was the curry sauce, absolute 'serial thrilla', much more tasty than the usual pale yellow chip shop gloopy 'poison' and with a perfect consistency. We ate inside, not 'out of space' it was very clean and the staff were friendly and polite, definately not 'voodoo people'. I recommend a visit and give Dorothy's 'your love' . The gig was great by the way.

How can you not get chips here at the end of a night out in Cardiff .... chips cheese and gravy is the
Local to the hotel we stayed at so popped in as they have a seating area and it was not too warm outside. Ordered and cooked whilst we waited. Fish portion was quite large, but as a previous reviewer stated the only offer cod, but tasty. Have to consider owner's position - how many people are willing to pay a premium for plaice and if not then they have to discard. Chips were freshly cooked and whole experience pleasing. Would visit again

All of the locals said to go to Dorothy's. Why not, I live in Kansas and it's fitting to see where she ended up after that tornado. But I digress. Fish N chips were huge! They serve a massive amount of chips. The cod was crispy and not greasy. They staff were nice, it was low key, and they even gave me some mushy peas to try. It was the perfect spot to fuel up before the brew pubs.
