Restaurants in Pontypool

The Carpenters Arms

Turned up on a Monday at 9pm on my bicycle. Closes at 10pm. Couldn't have been given a warmer welcome. Beautiful old authentic Welsh pub. Had a couple of pints. Luckily I had cash as cards aren't accepted. Will have to find an ATM as looking forward to visiting again. Wonderful place.

Rehmat Spice

Delicious and fragrant food. Super friendly people are working here. Many vegetarian options. Generous portions. I had veg biryani and veg samosas. All in all - a big YES PLEASE.

Market Square Coffee House

Very welcoming and lovely service. Great selection of home made cake. Had cappuccino and huge piece of delicious carrot cake. Sat outside & watched the world go by!

Family Grill House

Had a bad experience a week ago with order not turning up but owner messaged me and apologized directly and offered us 40%off next order to try them again and I was impressed this time. Bit of a hiccup with ordering on phone at start with order and address being wrong but they phoned me to make sure it was right and we corrected it. Food arrived quickly and was very tasty. Glad we gave u a 2nd chance and thankyou for the apology.

Porky's Pizzeria

Such a lovely pizza place! Staff were super friendly, and the shop is very smart looking. Tonight we ordered over the phone, the took card payment and delivered.
All arrived within the time they said, all piping hot. We ordered the You Must be Smoking, the Garlic Chicken, a pepperoni and the cheesy fries. The whole family enjoyed.
The You must be smoking was delicious and will be a future must for us! The BBQ was not overpowering, perfect balance, the smoky cheese on it was great!
We will definitely be ordering again.
It would be great if they uploaded a menu to their Google page or had a website. Had to hunt on their Facebook page for a menu.
Photo is of the garlic chicken, tasty but we had eaten all the others before we could take a picture.

Garlic Authentic Indian and Bangladeshi Takeaway

Our food arrived on time and was still hot throughout. The food was lovely. I called the restaurant as we have allergies in our household and they could not have been more helpful. Will definitely order again.

Dinos Kebab

OMG...absolutely amazing! Haven't eaten a kebab in years as I find them greasy. The salad is super fresh, chips are amazing and the meat is really good and not greasy at all!
The portion size is mad. I had to order a child's kebab as the small I got before was ridiculous....the kids one is still huge. Extremely generous with it's all. Definitely use them again.

Greggs

We are regular visitors as this place in on our route home. My daughter is obsessed with their hashbrowns! And I love a hot chocolate. Reasonable value for money, especially because of the app rewards and regular use. Staff are always smiling and friendly.

Lee's Kitchen

I’ve been enjoying Lee’s Kitchen for the past 18 months, and every single time, the food has been consistently excellent. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the food is always ready on time. The prices are fair, and I don’t mind traveling from Cwmbran to Pontypool just to get their food. Highly recommend

Golden star

can't believe how good it was massive portions 3 of us ate twice and had some leftover so much meat. fresh tasty hot plenty of veg too. keep it up and we will be back again and again

Tamarind Pontypool

There food is authentic and delicious. So last week I have eaten their tamarind flatter and Tikka biriyani also peshwary Nan all were really tasty.Parking: The place is nice and front side of restaurant so spacious anybody can use free parking.

Chutney Pot

Asiana Indian Cuisine

I've never used this restaurant before but I will definitely use it again and again.
The food is delicious. Everything tasted so fresh and it was delivered promptly. Thank you Asiana.

Istanbul Kebabs & Pizza House

Been using Istanbul for many years as we have found their kebabs and salad to be about the best around.
We have also found that they have really stepped up their game recently with lovely quality chicken and salad and freshly cooked chips as some of their double cooked chips were pretty awful in the past.We have had a few from them recently and they have been really nice. Keep up the good work ! ?

New Yummies

Absolutely devastated they are shut for the month. I've tried every other takeaway around Pontypool and Blaenavon and none of them do a kebab like yummies. They are all dry with hardly any salad or sauce. Can't wait for yummies to open back up after their holiday to have a proper kebab. Enjoy your holidays yummies

Choice Take Away

☆☆CASH ONLY☆☆
Fantastic Food At Good Prices!!!
In most places, for just two (2) people, it will cost between £40-£50+, we went to Choice last night ?, and for two (2) people, the Total came to £37.20!!
I do reccommend Choice for a good meal.

Chans Noodle Bar

I love the food I think the packaging could be better as the containers get soft and when trying to unwrap the cling film makes it difficult but I do love the food I always order

Chip & Fin

Brilliant fish and chips. Cheaper than most. Had it last night, 8 fish bites, 2 large chips, curry etc. Fish bites are huge for the price. Super delicious. Awesome food.

Horseshoe Fish Bar

Lovely place to get fish and chips. Popped there as we arrived to Wales for our camping trip. The staff was lovely, very friendly and we even got some tips for our trip, mini information centrum ?.
Thank you

The Rising Sun Inn

What a vibe, as a clock enthusiast I was in my element. Took me back in ‘time’ to when I was a little girl visiting my nan. The decor was timeless, as a postie my favourite clock is in a small cabinet bottom shelf to the right, you will know which one I’m talking about ?

Shaheen Tandoori

Hands down the best Indian restaurant around! The food is always fresh and packed with flavor, and they don’t use any processed meats. Honestly, their chips alone are worth the visit—they’re amazing!

The Chippy

Must say the food is outstanding, customer service is really great, lovely lady. Owner are wonderful friendly people. Always smiling even when she is in a rush. Will be coming back and recommending you to friends and family

Mayo's Fish&Chips

Its changed over to ali's now same staff different owner. Can't fault it even as mayo's the food was lush and affordableParking: Parking not a problem people in and out all the timeWheelchair accessibility: No issues for wheelchair users as ramps provided

Rachel's Café

Aahar

Had en excellent meal here. Not much to look at from the outside, interior was typical for an Indian restaurant, and was very quiet when we went (6:15 on a Sunday). The food quality was excellent, very fresh all round and they varied my main to my taste. Main portion sizes were large, rice and naan sizes medium. Definitely recommend.

The Iron Duke

Great atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon with a live band.
Clean pub.
Good service ?
Got a snooker table here.
Music and cheap drinks.
Outside small seating area at the back
Only crisps and nuts sold here , no proper food.

Dominos

Wow, first time ordering from Domino’s Pontypool and I’m very impressed. Ordered and delivered within 20 minutes. Food arrived piping hot which was lovely. Absolutely delicious, food was presented well too. Driver was quick, friendly and polite. Will definitely be ordering from here again ??

Marmaris Kebab House

The pizza was great, well-cooked, and tasty as always.

However, I had an issue with my milkshake - it was 10 days past the 'use by' date. The first time this happened, I didn't mention it since I kept the milkshake in the fridge and drank it the next day, thinking it was a one-off. But after it happened again, I contacted them, and they were quick to replace it with a fresh one. l'd recommend checking the dates on your drinks, just in case. While this did make me question the attention to detail with some of the items, the pizza was still delicious, and I'll definitely be ordering again - just double-checking the dates with the driver next time

Hopefully, they'll be more vigilant with
dates moving forward.

Great food though no issues there :)
