“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“
“At noon from Monday through Friday I go to La Casa Deli and order my meal. "Cuatro wet birria quesotacos & café" is what I tell the server after I sit down, preferably next to the fire. The tacos come with limes, serrano salsa & the birria soup. Once I saturate my quesotacos in lime juice, I dip them in the house made serrano salsa. Before too long there are no tacos on my plate, which is now covered in orange grease, along with my face and my right hand. The birria soup has a little beef at the bottom, before it too joins the fresh cut vegetables and peppers. My coffee is always too hot, so I take it to go and enjoy it later after I clean up.Please ensure this establishment thrives, I can't get better Mexican food anywhere else.Casa Deli Savage,Thank you.“
“Fantastic gyro. Perfectly done. Just had the regular Gyropolis gyro, and it was perfect. The side of potatoes was also great. Perfect lemony, olive oily, and great spices. So delicious. It's a little place, clean and very nice, but only seating for 20-25. Most people take out.Very elevated for fast food...for instance, I didn't get a salad, but peeking at a neighbor, it looked great!“
“First time here, there's definitely a lunch rush, but the staff is very efficient. We had kibbi and falafel sandwiches,which were quite tasty. Lots of salads and goodies available - we'll be back to try 'em! Seating is limited, but warm weather will bring outdoor tables.“
“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.“
“Definitely great food! Very yummy !The actual inner part of the restarant could use some freshening up. Must order on a kiosk super easy. Part of a strip mall. Friendly staff. I went when not super busy early afternoon and it was super fast for takeout.“
“My husband and I stopped here for a drink and apps for his birthday. Our server, Julienne, was amazing! Loved his energy and enthusiasm for everything Mara and cocktails. We had the best cocktails here. Hummus and the pita were great. Overall a great experience.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Im new to this area and have seen this place but never went. I wanted tacos, so to google I went. I ordered online and picked up my order. It was done on time. Prices to me are a little high for a take out spot, but the tacos were delicious. The street tacos said they came with chips and salsa, but there were like 5 chips. Birria tacos I also ordered. That didn’t come with anything except the birria. But was sooooo good. I do recommend as a special night in treat, but the price to me being a bit high would keep me from regular visits. I should also include that it’s possible the website ordered on could’ve had higher prices, I didn’t look at that part.“
“I rarely leave reviews for restaurants unless I'm extremely satisfied, and Samosa Grill has exceeded my expectations. It's one of the cleanest restaurants I've visited recently. The exceptional service, coupled with the delicious and fresh food, makes it a standout dining experience. Highly recommended!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Best gyro in MN! I just came back from Istanbul and Athens a couple of weeks ago and was looking for a place where I can find authentic gyros locally. This is the place! I'm so lucky I found it. We ordered traditional gyros, chicken kebabs, turkish coffee, hummus (with pita bread), and (turkish) blakavas for dessert. Muhammad, the owner, was kind and knowledgeable about the food that they have. 100% recommended!Parking: Plenty of parking spaceKid-friendliness: Kid-friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“
“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.“
“Great place for some descent goat meat over rice. Service was excellent!Ordered Goat Meat over Rice which is #1 on their current menu and it was was descent and filling! Good ratio of meat to fat as well! The meat itself was a little undercooked so was a bit chewy compared to traditional middle eastern meats but this maybe be the Somalian way of doneness on the meat not quite sure. Water and Banana at no extra cost was great to see!“

“Caspian is like a landmark Iranian restaurant and market. When there was no Iranian restaurants, this was one ☝️ of the two and who knows if there was a second one. The owners are Iranians so the good food it’s home made Iranian. The quality used to be great but time it’s taking it’s toll. If you have no clue about Iranian food. It’s time to try the food of the kings ;)“
“The first visit to Afro Deli, I ordered their steak with rice dish, and it was incredibly spicy. I couldn't even finish it. But on my second visit, I opted for the chicken fantastic and steak sandwich, which were both delicious and healthier with just the right amount of spice, and not greasy. I particularly enjoyed the zucchini in the chicken fantastic.“
“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.“
“I visited spicy feta for the first time today and I had an amazing experience. Although I was only taking-out, I had an opportunity to talk and look over the menu with an employee, explaining what each item was and what it had on it. I never eaten here before so I didn’t know what to expect, but both the people I talked to were extremely helpful. I ended up getting the Naughty Greek wrap with a side of fries. It was almost a Mediterranean burrito style wrap, the chicken, Shawarma was super juicy and flavorful, and it paired well with the veggies,feta, and Taziki. The only thing I didn’t like about my wrap is I asked for no olives and there was olives, however it was still delicious. The fries are light and airy, but super crispy and seasoned perfectly with a savory salty spice blend. One of the people I talk to let me sample out their lemonades, and help me decide which one I wanted. They were very patient and helpful and I will returning back soon.“
“Had no idea what the place was. Expected a bacon n eggs diner. It’s an East African joint and quite good. The owner (Ah Fork? Is how he pronounced it) was a good dude. Got a chicken wrap sandwich thing. Super good. With fries it was $10!! I’ll be back.“
“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!“

Neighborhood bar. Many different theme nights. Supurb wait staff.Parking: Large strip mall parking lot. Surface parking.“

“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!“
“Delicious food at affordable prices! The shawarma and gyro meats are both excellent. The sides (we sampled the potatoes, salad, tzatziki, mixed greens, and tahini) are also top-notch in quality. The saffron rice is the only exception - it’s ordinary but still good. The atmosphere is low-key and unpretentious. The guys working the till and making the food are all smiles and helpful. They’re willing to make simple substitutions to suit your taste - my friend asked for a double portion of rice instead of salad and they accommodated with no sweat. And to top it all off, they plate the food well! Great food for a great value.Kid-friendliness: Open spaces, casual atmosphere is kid-friendly“
“Haven't been here for a couple of years and decided I was due for a visit. Food was absolutely fantastic and exactly what I remembered. Our entire group felt the exact same way. Food is fresh made so there is a touch of a wait, but it is totally worth it.“
