Cardiff has a new addition to its ever-growing food scene, and it’s one you won’t want to miss. Base Camp Indian Kitchen, located at 29 Park Place, promises to take diners on a culinary adventure, celebrating the rich and varied cuisines of India—from the aromatic dishes of the Himalayan mountains to the vibrant, zesty flavours of the southern coast.
Set in a historic venue that once hosted legendary musical acts, the space has been given a fresh lease of life after being closed for nearly two years. Base Camp brings not only fantastic food but also a sense of history and atmosphere to its unique location.
The brains behind this exciting new venture is Ram Sapkota, who grew up in the Himalayan region and began his career at the age of 15, running a small Nepalese café. After 15 years in the UK hospitality scene—working as General Manager at Cardiff’s beloved Mint & Mustard Ram is now opening his first solo venture in Cardiff. He’s joined by two award-winning chefs: Soban Pokhriyal, known for his work at Dishoom and Hilton, and Rahul Chauhan, who’s honed his skills at Mint & Mustard, The Ivy restaurants and top prestigious Hotels -Taj and many more. Together, this powerhouse team has created a menu that’s as diverse as it is exciting.
