Global music star Sean Paul was spotted at one of Cardiff’s beloved restaurants.
The No Lie and Temperature singer, who will be performing in the Welsh capital on Tuesday evening, April 22, decided to pop into Saray restaurant on City Road in Roath on Monday evening. The Jamaican star dined at the traditional Turkish grill restaurant alongside his tour crew and Welsh DJ Mista Bibs, and was seen tucking into some lamb chops before he took the time to talk and take photos with the restaurant staff and customers.
Saray’s manager, Goktug Ozer, said he had the pleasure of meeting the superstar on Monday evening. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here.
“They called a couple of days ago to say that Sean Paul was thinking of coming,” Mr Ozer explained. “They then called again around 6-7pm on Monday to confirm that he was coming with his crew at around 8.30pm.
“They came along, around 20 of them, and they had all kinds of dishes. Sean really loved the lamb chops, they all did, and the crew absolutely loved the seafood.
“They tried Turkish tea and had dessert. He then took pictures with the other customers who were there and couldn’t believe he was there too.”

Mr Ozer continued: “I got to meet him, we talked a bit, I told him I was glad he was there and he said he loved the food and loved the hospitality. He said this would be the only meal out he was having in Cardiff.
“For him to come to Cardiff, to come here for a meal, it was such a good experience. Don’t get me wrong, it was really busy, but it was such an absolute pleasure.”
To mark the occasion, Saray has shared photos and a video clip of the singer’s visit to the restaurant on Instagram.
