Mina Restaurant

I recommend this restaurant highly! The food is charcoal grilled and tastes absolutely amazing. The lamb and chicken on skewers is melt in the mouth with a chargrill on the outside. Perfect BBQ! All of the food is fresh and they take a while to cook everything to order. The staff are super friendly and have happy faces and smiles. Feels great to receive such a fantastic welcome and attentive service. They will customise the meals to taste with no issue at all. (Swapped tomato for bell peppers on my starter salad) There’s a lovely family vibe in the restaurant and it’s full of people who’ve eaten there for decades! I’m now a regular as the whole experience is 10/10 every single time. Remember to reserve as it’s in high demand. Personally I think this is the best charcoal grilled food I have ever eaten and it’s consistently excellent! The facilities are spotlessly clean also- including the loos. The only downside is that I can’t stop myself having their amazing chicken wings to start and I always struggle to finish the main meal! Take away box to the rescue 😂 I may have reviewed this place before I can’t remember but it’s worth two 5 star reviews. One of the best dining experiences in Cardiff.

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!
