Football fever is taking over Cardiff this weekend! With Manchester City and Arsenal going head-to-head for the Community Shield at Principality Stadium this Sunday, 16th August, the city centre is set to be buzzing with unbelievable energy.
Whether you've got tickets to the match or just want to soak up the atmosphere in town, one thing is certain: you're going to need proper fuel!
Located right on St Mary Street—just a stone's throw (a short 3-minute walk) from the stadium gates—Lezzet Turkish Kitchen is your ultimate game-day sanctuary. Before the crowds arrive, explore [our charcoal grills and sharing platters] to plan your matchday feast!
Pre-Game Fuel: Quick, Hearty & Authentic
Heading into a packed stadium on an empty stomach is never a good strategy. You need a meal that is hot, flavorful, and keeps your energy up throughout the 90 minutes (and potential penalties!).
Our top pre-match recommendations for football fans:
The Quick Hot Meze Fix: Grab a plate of freshly grilled Sucuk (spicy beef sausage) or crisp Calamari served with homemade tartar sauce to kickstart your palate.
The Sizzling Skewers: You can't beat our classic Kuzu Şiş (Lamb Şiş) or Tavuk Şiş (Chicken Şiş)—tender marinated cubes cooked over charcoal and served with rice or bulgur and fresh salad.
The Crowd Pleaser: Try our Lahmacun—crispy thin Turkish pizza topped with lightly spiced minced lamb and herbs, perfect for a quick, savory bite.
Post-Game Celebrations (or Comfort Food!)
Once the final whistle blows and the trophy is lifted, escape the massive post-match rush on the main streets. Walk straight over to 106 St Mary Street, grab a booth with your group, and celebrate the win with our legendary Platter for 2 or Family Platter!
Loaded with Lamb Şiş, Chicken Şiş, Chicken Wings, Lamb Ribs, and Adana Köfte, it’s the ultimate feast to discuss all the match highlights over cold drinks.
