Turkish Kitchen | Swansea

You'll smell the spices before you even spot the modest shopfront tucked between the chain stores on High Street. Inside, the wood-panelled walls and Turkish tiles create a cosy atmosphere that feels more like someone's front room than a city centre restaurant. The mixed grill arrives on a platter big enough to feed half of Uplands, with perfectly charred lamb and chicken that's been marinated properly – none of that dry, flavourless nonsense you get elsewhere. The pide comes bubbling hot with cheese that stretches for days, and don't even get me started on the baklava that's flaky enough to make you weep. Staff treat you like family rather than just another punter, and at these prices, you can actually afford to come back next week.
