Inside Mina Lebanese restaurant

Since 1990

Lebanese hospitality on Crwys Road

Lebanese food is a celebration of life — fresh, generous and made to share. A meal at Mina starts with mezze: tabbouleh, fattoush, hummus, moutabbal, stuffed vine leaves and kibbeh. Then comes the charcoal grill, and to finish, baklawa with Turkish coffee or fresh mint tea.
