Stone Mountain Restaurant Guide

Mina's Cuisine — also operating as Mina's Kitchen — is a West African dining room on Memorial Drive in Stone Mountain. The owner, Lady Whilemina Bestman, immigrated from Liberia and brought what her own restaurant materials describe as 'homegrown experience she gained from her parents' home in food culture' to the operation. The kitchen's identity is West African with a strong Senegalese accent rather than the 'Ethiopian/African' label that some directories apply to it. The menu is a tour through the grilled and stewed traditions of West Africa. Chicken Yassa — Senegal's classic of citrus-marinated chicken with caramelized onions — anchors the lineup at $22. Suya, the spiced grilled-beef skewers shared across Nigeria and the broader region, runs $20. Thieb, Senegal's national dish of jollof-style rice with fish, comes in at $25. Grilled tilapia ($35) and snapper ($40) are the higher-end options, and a grilled lamb dibi is offered at $20. The restaurant tags itself as 'Family Dining for the Soul' and emphasizes a vibe-and-atmosphere approach over white-tablecloth formality. Hours are forgiving — Tuesday through Sunday, mid-day to evening, with Saturday service running latest at 10 p.m. The Restaurant.com deal here is a single $10 off $30 voucher, which pairs well with a two-person dinner of suya plus a grilled fish to share.
