Best restaurant in the area by a country mile. I visit regularly and have struggled in the past to find a restaurant that meets my needs and standards. Brothers has proved itself up to the task and I will be returning next week! Modern, well-executed food in a stylish yet relaxed setting. The vegetable biryani was the best I've ever had, and the broccoli starter was superb - amazing flavours. My dining partner was equally happy with his dishes of choice. In addition- the seating was comfortable. Tasteful interior design. Discreet, pleasant service. Pontyclun - how lucky you are that this business has chosen you as its location.
