The Indian Takeaway

Tucked into the Gadlys area on the edge of Aberdare, The Indian Takeaway has built a loyal following among curry lovers across the Cynon Valley. Diners rate it 4.4/5 from 43 Google reviews, with regulars singling out fragrant, freshly spiced cooking and generous portions. A proper Chicken Madras arrives with a deep, slow-built heat, while a creamy Lamb Bhuna shows off the kitchen's knack for tender, well-marinated meat.

Beyond the headline curries, the menu runs through familiar favourites done with care, from crisp poppadoms with tangy dips to balti dishes, biryanis and a good spread of tandoori grills. Vegetarian options are easy to find, and the staff are happy to dial the spice up or down to suit. It is a no-fuss neighbourhood spot built for collection or a relaxed evening in, and the steady stream of repeat customers across the Aberdare area speaks to a consistency that keeps people coming back for their curry fix.
