The people behind an award-winning Cardiff café said it will have to close at the end of next month after the church where it is based asked them to leave.
Maasi’s, a Pakistani café selling traditional family-recipe meals, has been based at St Luke’s Hall in Canton since it opened in 2021. However, the family-run business said it has now been asked to vacate the hall and claims the church “are not willing to engage further” despite their “best efforts”.
A petition set up to try to get the church to reconsider their decision to “evict” Maasi’s had received over 650 signatures. The church confirmed Maasi’s had been asked to leave the hall by August 31, adding that the café has since outgrown the “charitable” agreement initially agreed when the project first started.
