If you ever fancy a curry, you’re spoilt for choice for restaurants in Swansea – but there’s one street that people frequent far more than others. Walking along St Helen’s Road on an evening, you can’t help but lick your lips at the salivating smells of delicious made-to-order meals packed with spice and flavour as the scent wafts out of busy restaurants and into the city air.
This melting pot of Asian and African cultures, with a mosque, several long-running restaurants and a handful of bustling international supermarkets is like no other street in the city.
And whilst it has become somewhat notorious in recent years for antisocial behaviour, with suspect little plastic bags often discarded on the floor and graffiti on some of the abandoned buildings, it’s also renowned as being a home-away-from-home for hundreds of immigrants to the city – as well as the go-to place for curry aficionados.
