“Amine did a wonderful job providing food and service for my mom's Celebration of Life dinner.

The food was much enjoyed and so nicely presented. Amine was generous, kind, helpful and accommodating; he even went to the trouble to provide us a gluten-free dessert- so lovely it was!
Much appreciated.

Thankful.“

“Stopped for dinner before a show at the Orpheum. The bartender made the drinks to perfection and recommended some great food choices for us. Will definitely be back to try some more off the menu. Friendly service!“

“I had the Somali fries at the fair but just went here for the first time. Definitely going to be a new go-to spot. We had the falafel wrap, chicken shawarma, tabouli and some of the juice. It was all so good! We also got it in the middle of the day and everything was super fresh. Highly recommend this place!“

“We wanted to have Dinner before going to a show at the American School of Story Telling Is that why?

It was Happy Hour So we ordered the Lamb sliders but they had sold out. So we got the Falafel sliders (gtreat flavor) and the special Pilsner and Old Fashion.

We then split the babaganush and
Salmon. Both excellent.

We ended tge meals with the Saffron Creme Brule and Pistachio Latte.“

“My friend and I were lucky enough to enjoy the Chef's tasting last night at Mara; what a fabulous time we had. The food was spectacular, the wine pairings were ON POINT, and the best part was the service. From the hostess who seated us all the way thru, we were treated to DELIGHTFUL personalities and kindness. Our server, Corinn (sorry about the spelling), was so knowledgeable and fun and her assistant Elizabeth was as well. the chefs all were so good at explaing the ingredients and techniques and just made great conversations. We commented to each other many times how wonderful everyone was, which elevated the entire experience. Bravo and High Fives all around! I certainly hope to return.“

“Absolutely lovely restaurant and a must-visit when visiting the twin cities. Love the atmosphere and kind staff. Try the fancy hummus and grab some baklava to take home.“

“Amazing food, fun atmosphere, and great service each time. Def recommend the wagyu sandwich and the garlic paste is my favorite thing to smother on everything. So good!“

“It’s sooooo good . I recommend 👍“

“We just got the gyro sandwich which was good, but the website menu doesn't really reflect the offerings inside as well - pretty bare bones. We were also charged more than it said on the website or the picture menu inside the restaurant.“

“Great experience with catering! Food was delicious, fresh and the staff was kind and easy to work with. Five stars all around and we will definitely be going back!“

“Food was good. The owner was very nice, and friendly service for kids. Had Dahi Puri after a long time.“

“Very disappointed! For the first time I placed an order online for a delivery at this restaurant. I ordered Grape leaves, The Lamb Experience, Filet Mignon Kabob skewer, extra dinner salad, extra order of rice, extra pita bread and some additional items. Food arrived on time, but barely warm and with some missing items. All extras that I ordered and paid for were missing. That didn't upset me as much as, when I called them to let them know, I was missing items, I got an answering machine, so I left a message. A few hours later, I called again and left another message. So, since Tuesday, I am still waiting for a call back. I don't expect a reimbursement at this point, but a simple call back and an apology, would be nice! I would not recommend, or will I ever order from them again!“

“Amazing food. Can't wait to go back“

“Cute little place hidden on the skyway level. Dry rub chicken wings were awesome! Crispy! Gyro pinwheels were also quite delicious. Service was efficient, not overly friendly but they were also very busy so maybe that was the reason. Sat at the bar. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a place to meet friends for drinks and food. Good volume for talking.“

“Went For Lunch! Fresh & Yummy! Great Service!“

“I order from Boss Burger all the time, and it’s always fresh and delicious. The packaging is top-notch, and you can really see the care and effort the team puts into every order. I highly recommend it and am always so happy with my meals.“

“Great hospitality! Great smells! Great tea!“

“We wanted to highlight and thank the excellent service we received from Mr. Shaik Mustafa. The food was good but the service was exceptional as Mr. Shaik Mustafa took time to explain the menu items for us for a nice dinner before departure. His suggestions were very good and his attitude was sincere and professional. We enjoyed our time at La Tapenade due in large part to the excellent service. Thank you.“

“So Good!! No menu unless you look online or ask them for help! The food was amazing! Definite a 10 out of 10. I had a wrap.“

“I recommend the rice bowl. You can choose what meat (protein) you want. The ingredients are perfectly proportioned from the amount of meat, rice, lettuce, onion, tomato, tzatziki. And best of all it fits my budget. Dee-lish-us. The staff was friendly too! Perfect combonation--friendly staff, attentive service, and great food.“

“The BEST gyro in the entire state! The entire WORLD in my opinion! Everything taste just a little better when it's made from the heart! #omarthegreat #goodeats #minneapolis“
