Supermarket ABC Swansea in Swansea

Looking for somewhere to grab a light bite, we came across this amazing little community run cafe/shop. Delicious light bites - cakes, tea cakes, even had a couple of gluten free options. Friendly and helpful servers and lovely and quiet

Nice atmosphere and nice food. Very kind and polite service! Thank you!

A disappointing visit sadly, to summarise: the front of house staff were mostly excellent and kind enough to replace the first dish I chose which was inedible, and the second dish was slightly better but still lacking. All dishes were bland and some poor quality. Seasoning was to be brought by the staff but never arrived. Arrived home feeling unwell. In full detail: We visited for valentines, to start we ordered fried squid, most of the squid was edible, however all were overcooked to various extent and had the typical rubbery texture common with overcooked squid. That being said, the batter was nice, and the accompanying sauce was good. We also ordered garlic bread with cheese which was nice, no issues there. For mains, I ordered the seafood rice which had several problems unfortunately. I've never sent a dish back before in my life but this was the first time I felt I had to. The fish included are not mentioned on the menu, however upon arrival it appeared to be a mixture of mussels, prawns, squid rings, and large chunks of another fish I couldn't identify portioned into fillets about 5-10cm long and triangular, rice and broth. The mussels were fine, if a little bland, the squid rings were bland and rubbery again, the rice and broth were also bland and watery. The fish was also very rubbery, to the point where I could not cut it with any of the provided cutlery, and after giving it a chance to be able to identify from taste, it was also bland and I couldn't figure out what fish it was. The waitress informed us she would bring salt and pepper to the table, however this never arrived, and personally If paying £30-40 per person I would expect the food to be seasoned by the chef before being served anyway. I felt this first dish was very poor and had to send it back, very disappointing as the reviews for this place are excellent… a bad day maybe. I instead ordered a simple sirloin steak medium rare and gave the food a second chance, the steak was served quickly which was appreciated. This was served closer to rare/blue, which I don't mind but not what I ordered, and with the entire fat cap which had not been seared much if at all, proving to be chewy and difficult to cut even with a steak knife. The steak was seasoned however, and the peppercorn sauce was good. This dish came with the standard sides of deep fried cauliflower, potatoes and peas. The cauliflower used a similar if not exactly the same batter for the squid which gave it a nice flavour. The peas and potatoes were bland. The manager has sincerely apologised for the situation following my review and invited me to return and try again, the staff have all been very kind thus far so I will take them up on this offer and update my review afterwards, hopefully with a better experience.

I felt very good, the staff was very respectful...

Recently I took a trip to Istanbul. It was a beautiful city but I could hardly wait until I could go back to Mumbles and have some real authentic Turkish cooking at the Mediterranean! It was truly better than any place I ate at in Turkey. Every dish is fresh, perfectly cooked tasty. Murat is the perfect host. His staff is outstanding. It is truly the best dining experience in the Gower.
