Stumbled on this gem of a place yesterday. Very interesting flavours, fresh, delicious food. We had a red lentil/spinach stew with a beautiful charred aubergine/pomegranate salad, cumin potatoes that were cooked perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Our girls had a choice of tomato and halloumi pizza or fishcake with salad. The service was friendly and attentive. The only downside was that the food was so delicious that I ate too much!! We liked it so much we are going to stop by on our return home tomorrow.
I booked a table for 20 people last Friday and we all had an amazing evening. The restaurant is spacious, calm and beautiful, the staff were all really friendly, patient, professional and incredibly helpful and accommodating, especially seeing as 8 extra people turn up for my meal that I hadn't booked seats for. I thought it would cause issues, but the staff found extra chair and managed to fit us all in without any fuss.
The food was absolutely delicious, and everything came out at the same time, which for 28 people is incredible! It was a wonderful experience which I'll definitely be repeating as often as possible.
Thanks everyone at the Medina!
Absolute gem. The atmosphere was perfect, great music on not too loud, smelt fantastic and bright and airy. The staff were all lovely.
Food was great! The pulled chicken kebab was excellent as was the whipped goats cheese. The chargrilled broccoli was super salty, lemony, garlicky with a nice charred sweetness.
We were pretty shocked to hear that they’ll be stopping evening service for a while due them not being busy enough! Cannot understand why that would be the case as it’s brilliant!
The food and place were good. Both fried and pushed were terrificly cooked, and the English tea was a bit lighter than usual. Their wide range of bread was brilliant, and they'd got pretty long last of desert as well. I gave a 4 star as the desert offerings were not warm enough. The service was ok, and the atmosphere was a live one. It was so crowded as it's obviously a well known spot for good food. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience for all. Good luck!
Stopped in for breakfast, and it was amazing. I had the Shashuka with sausage, it was beautiful. Such a lovely deep rich flavour and well balanced, the toast was excellent too. Everyone else's breakfast looked amazing, and everyone was very happy. The spiced chai latte was also lovely. Staff friendly and efficient and the wait wasn't too long for food.
Wonderful spot serving Mediterranean fare. Portions are generous, flavours are on point, and the value for money is insane. Chicken pitta, cumin potatoes, and a tomato couscous salad all for £12.50.
The servers made us feel at home and were overall very friendly.
Only issue were the flies that were buzzing around the dining room. Probably due to the fresh produce they had displayed...
Overall, a great spot if you want something hot and fresh to eat.
Nice place for lunch or drinks. Quite an extended beer list and spoilt for choice with regards to the actual lunch (or breakfast). Generous portions too. They also sell fresh produce if you want to have something to cook at home!
I have never been so impressed with a place to eat as this. We went in for breakfast. I had the veggie breakfast and my husband had the full breakfast.
The poached eggs were perfect. My wilted spinach tasted so delicious.
My halloumi was scrumptious. The premises was very cool: The right mix of laid-back style and ultra-smart ambience. Even the glass vases that were placed on the middle of each "reclaimed" table were sparklingly clean and contained fresh flowers.
As well as the food on the menu, there was a wide range of fresh food and produce to buy to take home; organic vegetables, eggs, local cheeses, olives, & olive oil, fresh, organic milk, freshly baked loaves of bread, muffins and pastries.
The whole place was spotlessly clean.
Best of all, coming from Manchester, I expected Medina to be hugely expensive but the prices were very reasonable.
Not our first visit which is why we were very glad to be able to visit again for another amazing breakfast. Three different breakfasts catering for different tastes and diets were taken and enjoyed very much. A Shakshuka with added Feta and Merguez sausage was mine and was fabulous. We also had the French Toast with Fruit Compote and also the Potato hash. The coffee was fab too. We will always try and come for breakfast when we're here and hope to come for dinner too.
Hidden gem of Aberystwyth. Lots of fresh food and an extensive menu for every meal. We had breakfast and then returned for happy hour and a late lunch! Fantastic price and lovely staff.
Delightful, with a sparkling atmosphere, this is a wonderful Café/Restaurant, having four distinct spaces to chat, eat, or just have a coffee. Serving alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, speciality teas, and a full range of coffees. Offering an extensive menu, pastries, and cakes guaranteed to have something for everyone. It has a real community feel and also sells an excellent range of fresh vegetables. It's definitely a place, not to be missed ! On a damp dull day, it's definitely the brightest place to be.
Food is amazing. Can't wait to go back!
