Six Course Tasting Menu and Chocolate Ombré Cheesecake Last week @adatewithsam and I chose to celebrate our birthdays having dinner at Mina Maria. So impressed was I with my previous experience of their six course plant based tasting menu that I was compelled to go and try it again. The six courses included: Wild Mushroom Patè with Turkish Bread Croutons, Potato and Leek Croquettes, Koftas with Tzatziki, Red Cabbage Salad, Salt and Pepper Calamari with Tartare and Mini Lamb Pitas. Each course was highly flavourful, packed with fresh herbs, seasoned expertly, and had thoughtfully prepared sauces and accompaniments. I loved the flow of the courses and the timings between each. Though I loved each dish, my favourites were the croquettes and the koftas (I could eat a bounty of each). The croquettes which came with a tangy aioli were perfectly crisp outside and had a soft leak and potato filling mixed with creamy bechamel. The pork style koftas were super tender and moist, they were well flavoured with fresh herbs and delicate spices. They came with a yoghurty tzatziki which married perfectly with the succulent "meat". Unbeknownst to us, booking to celebrate a birthday at Mina Maria means free dessert (which we were going to order regardless) so I chose one of their specials - Chocolate Ombré Cheesecake. I stand by what I've said before, best cheesecakes in Sydney! The cheesecake had a short buttery biscuit base which held a supremely creamy, velvet-like three gradient cheesecake which was covered in a silky, bittersweet dark chocolate ganache. I loved the progression of the layers, from creamy white to sweet, chocolatey milk and rich dark. Cannot recommend Mina Maria's cheesecakes enough! A truly wonderful birthday dinner and I cannot wait to visit Mina Maria again!

Friendly efficient service. Food is unique and absolutely delicious. I’ll be going again, for certain.

Amazing night at the Potting Shed! Special thanks to Julia and the team for their wonderful service including the special birthday singing. The scallops were the best I’ve ever had, thank you to the incredible chef! Delicious. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Vibey local restaurant with amazing delicious menu that tastes like it’s made with thought and love. Great wine and cocktail list. Friendly relaxed unpretentious service. A great addition to the Sydenham/Tempe ‘hood.
