A new destination for kosher food lovers has arrived in Rockville. Medina Cuisine, led by owner and chef Michael Medina, has officially opened its first storefront in the Randolph Shopping Center, offering a wide variety of baked goods, prepared meals, and specialty items. Known for years as a respected caterer working out of synagogue kitchens, Medina is bringing his culinary expertise directly to the public with a dedicated space that combines a bakery, market, and prepared food service under one roof.

From Catering to Community

After years of running a thriving catering business, Michael Medina wanted to create a place where customers could walk in, shop, and enjoy freshly made products. The new storefront fulfills that vision, offering locals and kosher travelers a space to connect with food, family, and tradition. Medina Cuisine emphasizes freshness and creativity while maintaining the high kosher standards expected by the community.

Moroccan Flair Meets Kosher Tradition

Medina Cuisine takes a unique approach to its menu by blending traditional Jewish dishes with Moroccan and North African influences. While shoppers will find familiar kosher staples, the offerings go beyond the ordinary. The bakery produces three varieties of challah alongside artisan breads like multigrain baguettes, marble rye, and raisin walnut loaves. The dessert case is stocked with pastries and sweets, while freshly brewed coffee and a selection of kosher wines are also available.

Prepared foods are another highlight. Medina Cuisine offers an array of options perfect for weeknight dinners or Shabbat meals, including brisket, schnitzel, Moroccan chicken, and ribeye with chimichurri sauce. Frozen soups and grab-and-go meals make it easy for busy families to enjoy high-quality kosher dining at home.

Serving the Community

Medina Cuisine was designed with the local community in mind. Whether customers are picking up challah and wine for Shabbat, enjoying coffee with friends, or grabbing lunch on the go, the storefront offers a warm and welcoming environment. The menu is designed to be both comforting and adventurous, appealing to families seeking traditional dishes as well as those looking for something new.
