Iokasti's kitchen - Greek Mediterranean Food in Swansea

This jewel in Swansea market is my must go to place. It is Greece / Cyprus in a tiny market stall. Any sign of sheftalia, lounza ham and mezze on menu. Big ask I know. But takeaway would go wild! Methos, metaxxa. Wowee. Your food makes me so happy. I go back to being a teenager in Cyprus and holidays in Greece.

I was so surprised at the quality of the food at this tiny restaurant in the middle of Swansea Market - I ordered the Greek Grilled Sausage because I clocked it being devoured by one of their customers as I was passing through. It didn’t disappoint! The bread was wonderfully fresh complemented by a side dish of yogurt, white onion and tomato. To wash it all down I ordered a freshly squeezed orange (squeezed in front of me) and all for just over a tenner! I will certainly be coming back and recommending to friends- five stars from me!

Visiting Swansea properly for the first time in years and I had this place recommended for lunch. It’s run by lovely people, the portions are generous (see photo for the size of their club sandwich), the food all tastes great, the Greek coffee’s amazing. And it’s so reasonably priced. Lunch for 3 came to less than £30, including drinks.

Very friendly staff, great food at great price. Highly recommended

Very tasty Greek home made dishes, the best tzatziki I have ever had, served with chicken kebab and grilled bread to die for. Highly recommended!

Excellent, authentic Greek food. Strongly recommend this place, good prices too. Swansea is lucky to have a place like this.

Well well well, working away again and today we stumbled on this place and wow! If you’re looking for real Greek flavours this spot is exceptional, rarely throw out 5*s but these guys deserve it. It’s authentic, beautiful flavours, amazing service. I ordered a chicken gyros meal, and if I closed my eyes I could have been anywhere in Greece eating but nope I was in Swansea! That’s how good this food is! Really seasoned well, quality meat and bread, fresh salad and proper chips too! They haven’t missed a touch with the flavours here and the tzatziki wow! Fresh and creamy! These guys really do bring “homemade” to their dishes! And £8.50?! Bargain! Big up these guys keep smashing it Swansea are lucky to have you!

Well, the food here is amazing and authentic. I can't add any other description to the place 😊

Amazing. Great Food. Lovely people. x

Very nice food, will be back here again soon.

Love it! 2 poeple grill was just amazing. The portions of the dessert was alot but it was really tasty and to top it up they gave my daughter a free bar of chocolate. Thank you guys we really enjoyed the food.

Really nice Greek food at very reasonable prices. We had lamb kleftiko and mixed gyrus which were both lovely and good portion sizes.

Perfect authentic greek food! Service is impeccable, quick, and the food is great. Thank you😊

The Greek coffee here is to die for (and only £2!). I 100% recommend going here for a cheap yet delicious brunch or lunch. I've had a few of the veggie dishes from here and each has been so flavourful and filling. The gigantes are a must-try for bean lovers. My fiance is a meat-eater and equally enjoys the food, so there's a bit of something for everyone. As for dessert, I recommend the portokalopita. This soft cake is full to the brim with orange syrup and will knock your socks off. The staff are very polite and friendly, and it's lovely to see a family-run business thriving so well in Swansea market.

Best Greek food the mossuska Is the best I've tried and the baklava is so nice Aswell I will only go here for my Greek food

A most amazing place to eat. Thoroughly recommend. We had the mixed grill for 2. It was so filing. Sadly we could not finish it all, but did try hard to as too good a meal to leave.

Warm welcome and lovely home made food. We had the giant butter beans in a tomato sauce served with flatbread and rice. Very nice hearty food. Will go again

Had a lovely lunch here today with my son and daughter-in-law. The food is beautiful, freshly cooked and authentically Greek. Just wished I'd left room for the Baclava!!

OPA! This Greek kitchen is full of buzz and cheer whenever we go there. The family owned eatery offers an abundance of Greek food and served promptly at really good prices. This is what Swansea market needs, authenticity, lovely people with character and some Greek singing (occasionally dancing while the food is cooking). Efharisto para poli!!!

Excellent food reminds me of Greece. Hard working staff who care about food

Amazing atmosphere, food makes me nostalgic. Would visit again:)

Food lovely this market has a good selection of food

Great home cooked Greek food and deserts. A must if you are in Swansea

Amazing beautiful authentic Greek food

What can I say..... Amazing authentic Greek food... My chicken gyros was delicious... Thank you!

Cute Little Greek Café in the market. Love the little touches like Greek phrases on the menu that you can learn and decorations all around. Food was good and as was the service, will be back to try more 😊

The photos don't do it justice! Lokasti's Kitchen is a hidden gem that's well worth the effort of paying a visit. Delicious homemade Greek food prepared by people who clearly care and are passionate in spreading the gospel of great eating. Homemade, fresh, cuisine and very friendly staff who are more than happy to explain the dishes to those of us with little experience of Greek dining. Happy to recommend.

This is my favourite place to eat in Swansea the food is outstanding, it’s run by a beautiful family always a pleasure to go there and see them and eat their incredible Greek food.

Amazing food, we had the mixed grill to takeaway, eating it was like being on holiday. Very friendly service, very clean kitchen. Excellent value for money. We would definitely recommend this place if you enjoy Mediterranean/greek food.

Staff very friendly, well priced good food.

Had a friend mention this little place. So by the off chance that we happened to be in Swansea we gave it a try. .Food and service was fantastic and value for money.

Had a delicious authentic Greek dish for my lunch Absolutely the taste of Greece fine cuisine 😊

Lovely food and very nice people will be returning 😀

BEST GREEK FOOD IN SWANSEA 🇬🇷 Hands down. I found this place on a whim whilst in the market... my gosh! Best GYROS I have had in such a long time. So full of flavour, chips were banging, I could eat it 100 times over. I also had their orange cake that was to DIE for! It ooooooozed and it was incredibly yum. I cannot wait for LD to end so I can have this again. I need to try that monster club sandwich!! Best Greek Food. No question 👌🏼 Side note: the owners are ACE and incredibly lovely. I sat on my own and they chatted to me and it was pure lush!

Stopped by for a delicious Greek sausage stew midway through Christmas provision gathering. I do hope this place weathers the continuing battering of the hospitality industry. The couple who run it are delightful.

Had lunch there today! One of the best Greek meals I have had in a long time, definitely be going back

Very nice food! Makes you think your in Greece with all the exotic food. Such friendly owners and very professional.

My daughter and I ate there for lunch today and genuinely enjoyed every mouthful! It was delicious!! We shared the grill sharing platter and added some pitta in. I wish I could post a picture of the food but I'm technologically challenged. The customer service was superb. We will definitely be eating here again!!

Το επισκέφτηκα στο ταξίδι μου στο Swansea αναζητώντας ελληνική κουζίνα !! Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!!! Ευγενέστατοι άνθρωποι, υπέροχο φαγητό και φανταστικό γλυκό. Ποιότητα και ασύγκριτες γεύσεις... Καλές δουλειές"

I discovered this place while visiting Swansea. Cute and nice place to eat. Delicious food and warm welcome from Iokasti. Everything was νόστιμο!

Omg I will definitely be calling back. Had their Mousaka and Greek salad , also their baklava. It was absolutely amazing and such lovely friendly staff x

Just had the most AMAZING lunch here! We ordered the souvlaki but wanted a vegetarian one, so she put cheese and kalokytnokeftedes (courgette fritters basically) in it. Oh, it's been 2hrs and I'm still thinking about it!! Highly recommended!
