Al Medina Restaurant

The city, English translation of the Arab word Al Medina, is the name of a restaurant opened in 1983 to evoke Arab and Islamic cultures and their mark on our heritage. Specializing in Arab cuisine, this restaurant offers kebabs, a kind of assorted meat skewer; cous-cous, made with the subtlety and flair inherited from 19th-century Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian immigrants, as well as hommus and pita bread, macrum and baklawa, and other typical dishes.

The atmosphere has a special magnetic power over visitors at Al Medina, decorated with colorful tapestry and filled with the scent of incense. It has Shawarma and El Alféizar coffee shops, a comfortable bar, a shop selling Arab products, several rooms including two private rooms, and spacious areas ideal for commission work meetings.
With a privileged location, Al Medina is one of the establishments on Oficios Street, where La Mina and La Paella restaurants also stand. Not far away is the Automobile Museum, with a valuable collection of old cars; and the Arab House, with halls dedicated to promoting the Arab culture in Cuba.
