“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“

“This place is amazing. The food is delicious. We usually get a plate, which is 2 or 3 meals worth of food. The koftas, chicken, and lamb gyro meat is all perfect. The rice is so flavorful. Staff is always very nice. Service is accurate and fast. We have visited many times before and will continue to go!“

“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!“

“I really enjoy how cozy the place feels. They didn't have an espresso machine, which I think is actually not a good thing. I recommend they consider getting one soon to attract more customers. Also, it's not a Yemeni coffee shop, which was a bit misleading; it's a Somali coffee shop.“

“Had a great meal for 4 adults and 1 child. Food was fresh and good portion. Staff were super kind and great hosts. Drinks were super good as well. Got appetizer, main meals, and dessert and would absolutely recommend and go again.“

“The restaurant is great at lunch time and awesome for a happy hour. Great selection of beers and very good appetizers. Cheese curds are my favorite. As if the environment, drinks and food were not enough the best comes last. Joy, Mike and Nick are the best bartenders in down town Minneapolis!!! .“

“Ariana is definitely in my top 3 restaurants in the greater MPLS area. I have never had a bad meal. In fact, every meal we have ever had has been incredible! You can taste that everything is scratch made and I have never had an error on any order. Love this place! Support local, eat local!“

“Great hospitality! Great smells! Great tea!“

“No disrespect to the old establishment, but the new ownership hit it out of the park. The chicken shawerma is bangin. Good portions, good price. Not a fan of ordering on a tablet, and I’d recommend a menu on the wall for easier reading but I’ve already eaten here multiple times. Check it out!“

“Great for weekend activities“

“The resturant is not much to look at on the inside. That said, Never judge a book by its cover. The food was very good. I had possibly the best gyro I have ever had. Friendly and fast service as well. A must try. Honestly, a hidden gem this place. I will be returning on a regular basis for the great food.“

“I've never liked coffee before, though I'm open to trying new things. There's was the first coffee I ever liked.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Person running takeout orders was super nice. Food was well prepared BUT, they could season there hamburger meat. That's why 4 stars. Light seasoning would have been good but on multiple occasions hamburgers were not seasoned. Waiting for food outside in parking lot was chill even at 4a.m. Food tasted delicious but would have been better WITH seasoned hamburgers.“

“Ordered takeout from Oasis for the first time last week. The hummus, baba ghanoush, and grape leaves were all excellent. I loved the smokiness of the baba ghanoush - so much flavor. The falafel was really good too. The roasted veggies and salad were fine, but not memorable.“

“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!“

“Delicious food with the familial feeling! Great restaurant with lots of great food. We tried combo and the beef doner kebab. Impressed by portions and overall freshness. Lots of different options including vegetarian. The space was small but felt “homey.” The staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely would recommend!“
