Al-Madina Mandi, Grangetown, Cardiff: review
On September 18, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanOpen for just over a month as I write this, Clare Road’s Al-Madina is another unadorned, uncomplicated Grangetown find.

This blog is a very simple thing.
I won’t try to sell you any hand lotion, exercise programmes, coffee syrups or Patagonian nose flutes. You won’t find tips on dating, ‘wellness’ or yoga mats.
