“My daughter's wedding was this weekend and we had the food catered from Zakia Deli! This is a family owned and operated business that was started by Issa's mother 40+ years ago! They are the most helpful, friendly and welcoming people you will ever know! We received so many compliments on the food and wanted to pass it along to the family and all of our friends!! The food was REMARKABLE and the experience was 1st Class! If you have an event or just want to grab some lunch, stop in and say hello to Issa and his family! The hospitable, gracious and warm hearts will be felt immediately! That and the food will keep you coming back! Thank you again Issa and family!!! #ZakiaDeli #FamilyBusiness #LocalFood #APlusHospiatlity“
“Food great but as I walked up to the counter the young lady looked at me and went to the back and the other employees just looked at me no one said hold on or she will be back It was awkward especially with the other employees just looking at me and no one said nothing started to leave just as I was about to leave she asked can I help you.“
“Beautiful space; the food was wonderful and love the creative twists to traditional Mediterranean dishes. The staff are attentive and even got to meet and celebrate their Chef de Cuisine, Thony Yang. It was an honor to celebrate a talented young chef. Thank you so much for being in our neighborhood!“
“Probably one of the better Persian restaurants here in Minneapolis.The only downside is that atmosphere of the restaurant doesn't really represent any of the rich Iranian heritage that we have, and actually tries to do a fusion of Greek and Mediterranean influence as well.The service is good, and on time.“
“I had a very pleasant experience, the owners (who were okay with me taking the photo and uploading it) were very sweet and accommodating. The meals had a touch of 'home-made' savour that just keeps you going until you are stuffed. The environment was cozy and added extra warmth and comfort to the experience.“
“Really really loved this place. The sleek interior with massive windows give such awesome natural light and add to the atmosphere of the restaurant. But the menu was amazing. I had the mock-tail Gazoz, filled with light and fresh herbs and decorated with flowers. Out table had the avocado toast (where seriously the bread was the best centerpiece) and also had the Greek salad. Presentation, atmosphere and great ingredients make this such a fresh experience.“
“I recently dined at Fhima's, where Sean, the sommelier, provided an exceptional experience. His expertise shone as he recommended the perfect wine pairing for the Pulpa dish, enhancing the flavors and making the meal truly memorable. The thoughtful guidance added a delightful touch to the overall dining experience, making Fhima's a must-visit for those seeking a harmonious fusion of exquisite cuisine and expertly curated wine selections.“
“This is a unique and fantastic dining experience that, for the right group or person, will provide a meal/night out you won't forget. There's just too much here to cover in one review, but if you love Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine, are open to a curated food adventure from a talented chef and incredibly hospitable host, and want to enjoy the warmth of a good meal in a comfortable home setting with the ease and pacing of a few hours to relish and delight in, then you're a great fit for this evening.Vegetarian options: Outside of the main course you'll find the other courses mostly vegetarian, and the host seems open to accommodating dietary restrictions or requests.Dietary restrictions: The host was very open to understanding people's dietary restrictions or allergies, but considering this is a set menu, you'll need to do your part and be upfront ahead of time.“
“Strongly Recommend! I don't think I have had such tender lamb anywhere in my life. The meat fell right off the bone. Moreover, the owners are extremely nice and welcoming leaving a lasting impression. I will definitely be coming back!“
“I eat here a lot, and I love the food, prices, and service. I have an account, so I often get free food using the loyalty points. They have great vegan options as well.Vegetarian options: Falafel or quinoa can be substituted for any of the meals. They also have vegan options.“
“I got the family dinner for two and honestly it was so much food and could probably be good for 2-4 people depending on your appetite! I was surprised by the portion size and it was very generous. I liked that I got to try a little bit of everything. The flavors were as expected, but not anything mind-blowing. The hummus and baba ganoush was tasty. For the value and quality, it's pretty solid and hits the Mediterranean craving. I also got the baklava and kinafa, and those were good ? Their spicy red sauce was also tasty.“
“Very nice restaurant, great staff, great food , we have been going there when our children were small and now as they got older , they bring there families, same staff and same place and food just just gets better , Mash Allah , it’s like your in your own home ,“
“Best place to eat on campus maybe Test Kitchen. Amazing and kind staff, fun atmosphere, and delicious food. I personally recommend the Chapati Wrap with chicken or lamb, or the gyro. It is to die for. Their fries come with a delicious sauce as well which I always request an extra one of.“
“Loved going to the location on east bank and this one is even better. Beautiful open kitchen with lots of seating. Food is always great and at a fair price. Quick and friendly service. My favorite is the somali steak sandwich and their fries are amazing.“
“This place was waaaay better than any fast food spot in the neighborhood! I ordered the cheeseburger and fries, and that came with a can of soda. While the meat seemed to be REAL BEEF, and the French Fries had a really good powder all over them, the soda was generic and gave me a stomach ache. Also I do have to say that if you ain't got at least $10 don't even go in here (unless you only want some French fries!) It's not as affordable as any fast food, but like I said the food is made of better quality ingredients as far as I could tell. The guys working here were really friendly, and I could tell that the majority of their customers are from the neighborhood! Oh yeah, one thing I hate is when a place don't have no napkins, but it's even x10 worse if they ain't got no hand towels in the bathroom, and these guys failed both those tests, so I could only give them 4 stars, and to be 100% honest with you, it was a bit grimey in the eating area and bathroom, the maid must have been off duty that day. But HEY, don't let that stop you from placing your order, support a local spot, and have a happy New Year! Please give this honest review a thumbs up if it was helpful. That way, I know if people are reading them! Enjoy your food, and please stay strong, North Minneapolis 2024 will be a year of many changes in the world. As humans, let's hope they benefit us all!!!Parking: They have a few parking spots right in front of the entrance that are off-street, so you can wait for your food, or eat in the car. It's all good!Kid-friendliness: They do have a Kid's Menu with smaller portions at a reduced price! However, I definitely do still recommend having about $10 a person!“
“The food was great, it was my first time coming here so I wasn't really sure what to order. You get plenty of food for the price, so well worth it. The staff was friendly and helpful as well. There is a nice seating area on the side, which was perfect for a work lunch outing. My coworker did mention that usually the line is pretty long, but we got here around 1:30pm and it wasn't too bad!“
“Amazing atmospheric place in the heart of Minneapolis Downtown!Assorted skewers (lamb, chicken and beef) served over Basmati rice with salad and garlic toast served by Mike Kist was scrumptious!Friendly environment, swift and caring service, pleasant light music and that beautiful glass dome made the experience memorable.Will definitely come back with my friends!“
“We Love Halwo Kismayo and Grillgood customer service just need to call ask delivery any ware you are.You just need to call and they will deliver you where you areI took orders from a deferent state family and they sent me awayYou can always get delicious and hot quality halwa“
“I absolutely love Spicy Feta! The owners are very kind and great at what they do. I love stopping into the University ave location for meals with my friends, and this Capella tower location is perfect if you're walking through the downtown skyways and need some super fresh food for lunch or office catering. Highly recommend their gyros, platters, and especially the loukemadas donuts!“
“We are so lucky to have this beautiful place in Uptown. The hummus is entirely magical. And the food is delicious. We can’t wait to try it all!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a clear ramp on the side of the building giving easy access to the building“
