Madinah Cafe Halal
Description
Fluffy omelettes, properly chewy prawn pad Thai, and a coconut shake with enough body to make the island’s thin café drinks look faintly embarrassed. Madinah Café Halal is a small roadside spot set back from the main road, easy to miss unless you’re watching for the sign.
Thai basil chicken with a creamy omelette is the reliable lunch plate. Tom yum chicken, chicken fried rice, panang curry and massaman curry cover the familiar Thai comfort-food territory, while the Pakistani tea gives the drinks menu a welcome detour from endless fruit shakes.
Coffee is unusually good here, smooth and properly made. Pancakes also have a serious following, which is useful intelligence for anyone tired of breakfast involving toast that could double as building material.
The setting is simple, relaxed and family-run, with cats and tiny chicks pottering around the outdoor tables. Halal Thai food is the point, and Madinah does it with enough range to handle breakfast coffee, a quick rice dish, or a full curry dinner.
