This place has the best coffee in Aber and some of the best food. Their menu changes periodically, so they don't always have the same salads and mains. Many bakery/takeaway items seem to always be available, like croissants and baklava. I'd definitely recommend the cumin potatoes, though in my opinion they do need a bit of salt. The one area they could use some improvement is their service. It's frequently busy, and service is often a bit slow. There isn't typically a host on duty, and it can be confusing as to how seating and ordering works. If you want to pick up grocery items, bakery items, or takeaway, you can queue next to the refrigerators and order/pay at the counter. You can also ord...
We are only staying in Aberystwyth for one night and were looking for somewhere to eat that wasn't fish and chips or cheap and nasty take away pizza. We found the Medina by chance and were so glad we did! Situated in a fabulous wholefood shop with loads of amazing produce and fresh fruit and veg is the Medina. A short menu of hand thrown pizzas were on offer and they were truly yummy and very filling along with a green salad we had a delicious dinner. They also had an extensive drinks menu for a small restaurant. Definitely worth finding! Thank you for a great meal.

What an amazing hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious! They have a lunch offer for £12.50 you choose a main, a salad and cumin potatoes or another salad. As a vegetarian I had really amazing choices. Initially when they brought my plate I was disappointed with only 2 halloumi slices, but it actually filled me in. Cumin potatoes were crunchy on the outside and fresh and soft on the inside. My aubergine salad was full of flavour and halloumi... gosh, soft and warm, just perfect! The same with beetroot salad, so yummy. I would highly recommend it! And they have their own shop filled with delicious food. Worth checking out too.
Don't even think about going here if you're coeliac. Contamination nightmares, and staff who are ill informed. My friend was spoilt for choice, whereas my option was mushroom soup, with an alleged gf roll, which turned out to be a flatbread. No butter.

Good service, quite quick. Cappuccino was great and a generous size. Lunch deal offered some nice variety. Had the chicken pita which was a little small and basic but quite tasty, salads and spuds were nice and bulked it up to a decent portion size.
Only 4 for service as I couldn't find them to ask for something extra and same again later for paying the bill. Very interesting menu but you need to ask questions and not make assumptions
Great food! Wide range of flavours, spices and cross cultural. Not the usual of tastes. Strongly recommended
Second visit to Aberystwyth, and second time of eating at Medina. Would not consider eating anywhere else.
