Ceylon Express

In Pontypridd, Ceylon Express brings a welcome burst of Sri Lankan-inflected Indian cooking to the local takeaway scene. This isn't your standard curry house—there's a real focus on biryani here, with layers of fragrant rice and tender meat that speak to careful spicing and patience. The kitchen clearly knows its way around a slow-cooked masala, too, turning out deeply flavoured curries that reward ordering something beyond the usual korma or tikka masala.

Think pillowy basmati threaded with saffron and clove, rich gravy dishes that coat every grain, and the kind of aromatic heat that lingers pleasantly. Everything arrives well-packed and properly hot, ready to tear into at home. If you're after a proper Indian feast without the bells and whistles, this is the sort of place that delivers exactly what it promises—honest, flavour-first cooking from a kitchen that clearly cares about its craft.
