Pop in cafe

Best cafe and the food is made with pure love!! Nicest people ever and always have the best of welcomes! Never ever been dissapointed with anything ive ordered ?

Morgan Fish Bar

Came in for a breakfast with my son on thursday, staff were all so friendly & looked after us, food came out quick & nice n hot, highly highly recommend.

Junjira Restaurant & Takeaway

Found this absolute gem of a place hiding in Aberdare Indoor Market. Really friendly staff and delicious food. The Geaw Moo Tod were piping hot, crunchy and morish. I also had the Guay Teiow Look Chin and it really hit the spot. The noodles were nicely chewy, the meatballs bouncy and the broth flavorful. I'll happily visit again.

Billa's Italian Restaurant and Bar

We visited an Italian restaurant in Wales today and overall had a really lovely experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, the place itself was spotless, and the atmosphere felt really inviting. Portion sizes were generous and we barely had to wait for our food, which was a nice surprise.

The only downsides were the peppercorn sauce, which tasted more like gravy with pepper added, and the chicken, which was a little rubbery. Nothing major, but noticeable.

For four meals and four drinks, the total came to £90, good value for what we had

All in all, a positive visit and we’d consider going back, especially for the great service and portion sizes. (Forgot to take a picture of one of the meals but the mushroom ravioli was amazing)

The Bute Arms

Another fab place to eat in aberdare town centre.. highly recommend this place food fantastic atmosphere brill and staff fabulous. Portions are big great value for money

Costa Coffee

Christmas decorations done overnight by manager personally. Costa management need to take a leaf out of manager's book as he has totally made the Christmas atmosphere in this branch. Staff really friendly and food lovely. Best Costa Christmas myself and my wife have ever experienced. Amazingly well done and in keeping with the Christmas spirit

Burger Express

I was lucky enough to win the July special and the food was to die for!! The Hot Dogs and the chips were stunning and amazing portions. Will definitely be returning!! Clean place with very friendly staff and amazing food

The Indian Takeaway

Don't normally write reviews but had to after trying The Indian Takeaway for the first time.
I got to say it was amazing, the best Indian food I have ever had. I had the chicken captain pathila, My husband had the chicken tikka korma both had loads of flavour. Portions sizes are big.

Peppers

What a gem of a spot! The food is top well presented and truly so fresh, service is exceptional with a smile and direct have visited a few times in the morning for breakfast and also lunch and they already know us so well. The menu is well balanced with hearty foods, winter warmers and small snack dishes.

Servini's Cafe Restaurant

it was a really nice meal and reasonably priced. i went for the builders breakfast and it filled me up. great service from the staff who were very friendly. they also do takeaway boxes for salad and other items. i will go back.

Lewis Street Cafe

A proper local favorite. Incredible food every single time, matched with warm, friendly service from James and Anna. Can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a great bite to eat!

Penywaun Fish Bar

We get our food delivered to the house and I can never get over how quickly it arrives. We order pizzas and surely it takes time to cook it then deliver it, but it seems like it's only 10mins and it's here,Very good value for the money and tastyAlways freshly cooked,I definitely recommend it to everyoneKid-friendliness: They do a lovely kids meal and it real value for the money

Greggs

Really good Greggs in Aberdare. The food is usually fresh and there’s a good choice, whether you’re after a breakfast, a sausage roll, a sandwich or something sweet.

The staff are friendly and the service is normally pretty quick, even when it’s busy. It’s also handy for grabbing something on the go when you’re out in town.

The shop is clean and everything is usually well stocked. Nothing fancy, just a decent Greggs with good food and friendly staff.

Would definitely go back.

Lucky Star

Every week I get the pleasure of ordering from lucky star ... fantastic front of house service ...so personal and friendly... Family run business with the best Chinese around ... Prawn crackers are always white ?and the rest of the food I can't fault ?.. 10/10.

oriental house

We had it delivered within 25 minutes to where we were staying portions were very good plenty of sauce I the chilli beef and sweet and sour dishes . The small chips will feed a army ....
I would really recommend the food from here . And when we come back to stay will be having another

King's Flavour

“Really impressed with King’s Flavour! The food was fresh, tasty, and well-prepared, and the portions were generous for the price. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. Definitely one of the best takeout spots in Aberdare—I’ll be coming back again!”

GOLDEN GRILL

looking at some of the reviews and i think you guys are not realising this is now only a kebab shop with new ownersthis kebab shop no longer serves indian or chip shop etc.the shop is probably the only kebab shop around at the moment cutting their meat fresh .... instead of precutting and storing in a useless jar for hours drying out all the juice .the fresh meat gives you a meal full of flavour.never upset me so far and my no1 kebab shop at the moment .reasonably priced . personally i would pay more due to quality of food .

Peri peri Chicken

Delicious food always, whole peri peri chicken is fantastic value and tasty, lambe kofte wrap is another favourite. Healthy choices. Great staff.Been having takeaway here for months and it’s consistently excellent :)Dietary restrictions: Healthy high protein choices

Family Kebab

I always enjoy going to the shop, the staff are some of the friendliest people in Hirwaun and it's well worth the trip up the road. I definitely recommend the pizza's here because there's nothing like it nearby (and I've really checked that over the last 6 weeks they've been shut). They offer a great variety and it's all very nice food

Parking: There's a great car park right behind the shop which usually has plenty of spaces available

Marmaris kebab house aberdare aberaman

Me and my boyfriend came in and we had a Chicken doner kebab and chips and honestly the food was absolutely gorgeous, fresh, hot and really tasty. But what stood out the most was how lovely and friendly the man serving us was. He was so welcoming, polite and genuinely couldn’t do enough for us. It’s so nice to come across someone who takes such pride in making customers feel welcome.

The food was great, the service was even better, and we’ll definitely be coming back! Couldn’t recommend this place enough ❤️

Southern Fried Chicken

The chicken is very good and it is very crispy and crunchy i recommend it it is amazing it comes hot and delicious and if u get chicken it is always big prices so recommend #Southern Fried Chicken

Ali Baba Kebab, Pizza & Burgers

Came to the area from the south of England , stayed at a remote hotel and this place didn’t even flinch when asked to deliver there , the driver was polite and on time and the food was top notch , I’d come back to wales just for the food. Great job guys

Aberdare Charcoal Grill

this is the best place for pizza in aberdare and if you say something different ur a liar. i dont care im literally so fussy and this is the only pizza i will eat , so if you dont like it then clearly theres something wrong with you isnt there.

Grill House

1st tike ordering here, normally go down the street.Chicken shish is tastiest I have ever had. Only thing i would change is the portion size of lamb donner.Pitta wasn't packed separately as requested but meat wasn't as greasy as other places so wasn't an issue to complain about when realised.

Lin Hao

Ordered quite a few bits as was for a birthday party and did not disappoint so lush!!

Chicken balls were amazing and the house special chow mein was a favourite!!
Super fast delivery and polite customer service

Highly recommend!

Pizza Suite & Sweetbox

Great pizza & desert shop. Pizza is always so fresh & the donuts are amazing also so fresh. Such friendly people and always do the best for they’re customers couldn’t recommend enough

Pizza Choice & BBQ

Honestly, it's not just the food that brings me back to Pizza Choice ,it's the amazing staff, especially the boss! He's super friendly and always cracking jokes that make us laugh. The customer interaction is top-notch, and it really adds to the overall experience. We're always happy with our food, but it's the people that make it a great place to be.

Jin Ocean

Considering the reviews I was optimistic about ordering as never ordered from here before, was on time, driver was lovely and the food was amazing, I highly recommend this place and will definitely be ordering again.

Crispy Cod

Really friendly staff my order was take pretty quickly. Had to wait for fresh chips (absolutely no problem waiting). Prices are quite high- but I think at the moment that goes across the board with eating out. Battered sausage was nice, pie nice but the best bit was the Irish curry!!!

Red Cow

Had a fabulous afternoon for my mam's 90th. Food was all homemade and fantastic quality (they even made the curry hotter to suit the lesser wimps lol) Couldn't fault the service. Wish we lived closer to visit more often. We'll definitely be back

The Llwyncelyn Inn

I had two take out chicken dinners my sister and I really enjoyed the food we both agreed they were great value for money ,will certainly use this service again.

The Welsh Harp Inn

We stopped at the Welsh Harp for a drink and a break from a long drive to Wales for a funeral at the Llwydcoed Crematorium. We arrived as it opened and we had a lovely welcome. A friendly face after a long drive was wonderful especially when you are attending a funeral. Thank you.

The Rhoswenallt Inn

Just had 2 Sunday lunches and 2 pints there and it was absolutely beautiful and portion size was plentiful looking forward to Christmas dinner 10/10 very polite staff ?❤️

Golden Star Aberdare Chinese Takeaway

Must admit I've lived in Aberdare all my life and never tried this place, until a flyer was posted to my address.The mixed appetisers, king prawn curry, beef in black bean sauce and house special chow mean we're excellent, nice and spicy and not boring like othe takeaways in the area!Quick delivery too!Try it, you won't be disappointed I assure you!I'll see you soon and thanks!

Subway

Really nice Subway in Aberdare. The staff are friendly and always happy to help, and the food is usually fresh and made properly.

I like that you can just choose exactly what you want and change it up every time. The service is normally pretty quick as well, even when it’s busy.

It’s clean, convenient and just a good place to grab some food when you’re out. Nothing complicated, just a decent Subway with friendly staff and good food. Would definitely go back.

Amore Italian Restaurant

Great food, great staff, great find! Found this in Google maps and took a chance, so glad we did. Food was excellent, highly recommended. Would definitely return.

Fergie's Cafe

Consistency is crucial. And Fergies cafe is consistently very very good. Frankly, I probably spend way too much time and money here, but will spend a little less time here in 2026 as im trying to get a little more in shape.

Gadlys Arms

We stopped at this historic pub while driving through The Head's of the Valleys Road. It's only a few mins off the main road and well worth the visit. We received a warm welcome and the food was delicious, plentiful and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Rock Inn

The karaoke here has been running for many years with the fabulous Becky. Great atmosphere fun songs in between karaoke . Nice open space . Mostly busy but some Fridays would be quieter if rugby is on the next day etc. def recommend. Also great roast dinners served on a Sunday.

Baguettes Express

Just bought a salad from here and the staff are so friendly and omg salad is exactly what I was looking for - fresh, plenty of choice and such good value for money! Will definitely be back

Traditional Fish and Chips @65

Ate in the other night for the first time. Excellent fish and chips. The chips were perfectly cooked. The fish was cooked fresh for us. Definitely going back. Large cod n chips, about £12. We also tried the Irish curry sauce; not too spicy, very tasty.

Temple Bar

The buffet that Temple Bar provided for our 100 year old Gramp’s funeral on Tuesday was beautiful. Food was fantastic with excellent variety and lots of it. Quality was fantastic. The way it had been set out for us was perfect. Thank you so much and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you again x

Penaluna's Famous Fish and Chips

Chippie that has won awards in the past. Gave it another chance after being a little disappointed with previous order and glad I did. Absolutely delicious cod and perfectly cooked chips at a fair price. Friendly service and easy to order through the website.

Afron dar resturant

Benn going to Dar for nearly twenty years,,awesome food,,especially breakfast,,its quiet,,great service,,and one has the choice of eating in the fish n chips side,,or the more quiet side..100%..

Great takeaway find when we were on holiday in the area. Was a very busy night but they served us quickly & only took 15 minutes. Very tasty beef & black bean, Hong Kong chicken & special fried rice. Would recommend!! (Cash only)

The Prince Of Wales

If you like to meet interesting people from Aberdare and want a decent pint at a reasonable Prince then this is the place to be.

I like a quite Monday or Wednesday but if your up for busy then Friday and Saturday are a good laugh

Market Tavern

Staff work hard..be careful going out of here if you're tipsy or drunk cos of the steps..you could end up on the road in a right mess. I was drunk so maybe I'm thinking of spoons in aberdare

Les's Golden Kitchen

We stopped here for a breakfast roll while as a pitstop while cycling over to Swansea.

Perfect slap up breakfast to set us up on our way and reasonably priced too. It was £11.80 for two breakfast and two lattes.

Service was also great, checked in to see how we wanted our food to prepare. Very friendly. Thank you.

Domino's Pizza - Aberdare

Greeted when we arrived, the gentleman who served us felt a little less patient. My pizza was lovely, the other pizza was rated 8/10. The incorrect filling was given, we asked for tomato filling but was given cheese. We didn't know that there was sausage in the dough balls, which was inconvenient as one of us does not eat meat. Great experience overall.

The Bush Inn

What an amazing atmosphere. Lovely pub with a very warm welcome. Really good pint with great prices. Will definitely be coming back to this pub. Thank you Paul and Amy for the evening.

ASDA Cafe

Mama's Fish And Chips Shop

Popped in today and honestly, it was absolutely lush. I got the fish and chips and fair play, they were proper tidy piping hot, dead fresh, and lovely and crispy. Best I've had in ages!
The mister got himself the 14-inch ‘The Farmer’s Favourite’ pizza and he absolutely polished the lot, mind. Said it was cracking! The crust was nice and crispy on the outside, and the inside was steaming hot with tons of toppings and the cheese proper melted. Exactly how a good pizza should be.
Plus, it's great because they've got plenty of vegetarian options on the menu too, so everyone is sorted. Brilliant food and top service, we'll definitely be back!

Yr Ieuan Ap Iago - JD Wetherspoon

Nice place, went on a Saturday afternoon it was very busy. Didn't have to wait long to get served and except for a mix up with my drink it was a very pleasant experience. Will go again.

KFC Aberdare - Tirfounders Fields

I’ve always enjoyed coming to KFC, and the Aberdare branch at Tirfounders Fields is a convenient spot when you’re after a quick meal. The food is usually tasty, the chicken is satisfying and there’s a good variety on the menu, whether you fancy a burger, strips, wings or a bucket to share.

The restaurant has plenty of parking and a drive-through, which makes it handy when you’re in a rush or just fancy getting some KFC without having to hang around. The staff have generally been friendly and helpful during my visits, and when the food comes out fresh and hot, it’s exactly what you’d expect from KFC.

It’s a good option for a casual takeaway or a quick meal with friends and family. I’d definitely come back again when I’m craving some fried chicken!
