Mango House

Top choice in Southeast Wales


Bringing the subcontinent to the suburbs, this snazzy Indian eatery serves up a huge menu of delicious and complex curries, including an extensive vegetarian selection. Don't confuse the address with High St in the town centre; this High St is the continuation of Brecon Rd west of Cyfarthfa Castle.
