A bunch of diners including myself were awed & amazed by the delectable vegetarian feast we were presented with of which even the salad & houmous were beautifully arranged & the coffee & deserts washed waves of joy over our faces. Highly recommended for anyone with tastebuds to delight.

Went for a meal at Mina on a Friday night on the off chance they might have a table as we fancied trying something different. There were plenty of people in there but they kindly found room for us and we were glad they did! The food, wine and service was excellent. I'd not tried Lebanese food before but will... More

My friends and I enjoyed an exquisite farewell banquet at Mina's last night. The food was imaculately presented, stunningly authentic and delicious. Mina's is a thoroughly welcoming, intimate hideaway, you won't be disappointed.

This was our second visit to Mina's, The food was lovely we had the meatballs and falafel to start followed by the Chicken Shish Tahwal (not sure of the spelling) hubby had a mixed meat meal, both of which were excellent. On this visit I felt things were a bit rushed between our starters and the main course. We asked... More

Came here for a bit of different food...it seems that Italian is very popular in wales... and we loved it. Great friendly service - our food was delivered to the table by the chef himself! We ate a bunch of the Mezza between us and they were fantastic. Didn't even venture onto the mains. Would highly recommend!

The restaurant is very small--be sure to book ahead if you want a place. We made the mistake of showing up on a Saturday night. There is no place to wait at the restaurant so the owner recommended we wait across the street at a pub. He would call when a table opened up. Less than five minutes later, the... More

Warm friendly service, delightfull food, great value for money. We had Mezze for two, the waitress explained what each of the dishes was, I had a lamb dish and my friend had lamb couscous, washed down with a bottle of Lebanese wine, all very delicious! Well worth a visit!
