    Absolutely incredible meal my husband and I had here. We ordered a large selection of hot and cold starters. Everything was so fresh and bursting with flavour. The service was lovely and the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. I wish we lived closer as I'd be happy to eat there often!

    A true hidden treasure in Cathays. A spontaneous visit after a word of mouth recommendation from another local business and it did truly live up to its reputation! We ordered the Mashwi Mwshakal for two and every mouthful was so flavourful. Thank you to all staff for their kind service too, really made the whole experience so enjoyable. Safe to say we will be returning!

    Do not miss out on this amazing Lebanese restaurant- the staff are very friendly and the food was just divine. All our dishes were full of flavour and scrumptious. We will definitely come back again!

    I went for a meal with my mother, we like to explore the foods available around Cardiff...and in short, it was amazing! The atmosphere was so calming, it really transports you ready to try the Lebanese cuisine. The service was so welcoming and gave the best recommendations, the portions are so filling and the cocktails are pretty tasty too. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Nirali P. 1 year ago on Google
    8/10 tasty mezze. A table of three…we ordered, humous, bread, falafel and batata harra. All were very tasty. Being a big fan of humous, the humous here was creamy and well seasoned and the bread was very soft and fluffy, making it the perfect combination. A little let down on the main…although I ordered the opposite to a traditional Lebanese dish (halloumi wrap and fries). There was a generous portion. I would come back again for the wonderful starters and to try a more authentic main dish. Unfortunately, we were all very full and couldn’t try the dessert. The staff and waitress were friendly and the ambience were pleasant. 5 *

    Brilliant food and very friendly and quick service. I've been to a few middle Eastern restaurants and this is definitely one of the best. The kibba (lamb stuffed balls) are the best I've had. They were also very helpful, squeezing us in without a reservation

    Would have given 5* if the place was a bit cooler. Food was great, taste and proportion. But environment was hot and gloomy. Couldn't enjoy the tasty food as there was no AC. Will visit again in winter. Not a place for summer when heat wave is in the air.

    Great food with friends. Very well priced for the quality of meals.

  • 4/5 George W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and lovely interior. My only criticism is that the waitress seemed dismayed that we only had mezzes and water as opposed to proper mains and alcoholic drinks.

    Delicious food, family friendly. All round lovely meal - catering for vegetarians, carnivores, and omnivores!

  • 5/5 Kate W. 2 years ago on Google
    I have literally never reviewed anything on Google but I had to say something! We got a take away and it was just exactly what we wanted and more. So tasty and big portions (a must for me), so pleased with a fresh and yum dinner, perfect temperature too. Really was something else! Thanks so much :)

  • 5/5 Jan B. 10 months ago on Google
    Delicious food and excellent service. It was our first visit to Mina restaurant last night. It was the best meal we had in Cardiff so far. Everything was super delicious and well portioned. We ordered a mezze platter for the starter, three different types of lamb dishes and Lebanese sweets for dessert. We will be back again soon here. Highly recommend.

    Ordered mashwi mwshakal for 2 people, as stated on the menu. For the money paid the portion size was very very small for 2 people. Some of the meat was burned on one side. Will not be ordering again.

    I've been visiting Mina's for some 16 years now, and my wife's family even longer. I can't fault the food, can honestly say I have never had a bad meal, the quality has remained consistent throughout the years and the staff as friendly as ever, the atmosphere is lovely. It's small enough to feel intimate but not claustrophobic, take your time to take in the decor and enjoy a cocktail or two as you work through the menu, it won't disappoint.

    Delicious food and excellent friendly service. Will definitely visit again!

  • 5/5 Sifani H. 8 months ago on Google
    It was our 1st time at Mina restaurant and we went there for a celebration. The staff were polite, warm and welcoming. Service was great. The food was amazing and so flavourful! They graciously moved the table for us when we asked them to. Can't really fault them for anything. Would definitely recommend to everyone!
