“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“
“Falafel is amazing, fresh, crispy yet soft inside. Made to order. Hummus is delicious and creamy. Dining area is clean and modern with a feel good atmosphere. Perfect light lunch or dinner place with friendly fast service. A can't miss for Mediterranean cuisine.“

“If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I absolutely would without hesitation! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with the warmest welcome. Even though I opted for takeout, the level of care and attention to detail from the staff was exemplary. A beautiful moment caught my eye as I noticed a family observing their fast, and to my surprise, the same gentleman who took my order was graciously preparing tea for them. It was a heartwarming gesture that truly reflected the genuine hospitality of this restaurant. I cannot recommend this gem of a restaurant highly enough. I know for certain that I'll be returning time and time again.“
“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.“
“Went here for dinner with my wife and brother. We were seated promptly and service was very attentive. The vibe of this place is really interesting, especially the décor.The adult beverage list is extensive and reasonably priced.My brother and I ordered the Wagu Butter Burger - 10/10! Maybe tope 3 burgers I've ever had in my life. It was perfection. The fries were also a cut above.My wife's Mediterranean sampler tasted fine, but she said my burger was better.No complaints at all. I'll be back!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“The good morning hopkins is a protein delicacy. The team is super fast and never get your order wrong. Cheese curds done perfectly and the alternative menus are awesome. Charging for sauce seems to be par for the course where all restaurants are forwarding growing cost to their customers.“
“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!!“
“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 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.“
“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.“

“Caspian is a welcoming family run Persian restaurant and grocery. From offering all your Persian grocery supplies and brands, to sweets, teas, cheeses, and spices, the store opens up to its restaurant half. Family welcomes you in and the menu offers warm soups and breads, to full service grilled kebabs grilled on site. Friendly service, clean, and they own what seems to be the largest parking lot on University of Minnesota to easily park on site.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Owner George will know you by name. Extremely supportive of local high school programs. Fantastic good. Much bigger portions than other area restaurants for the same price. Great value. 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!“
“Ansari's has fantastic lunch specials, most under $15. I had the kabob combo (kabob, gyros, Greek salad, and rice) while my daughter enjoyed the veggie combo (falafel, spanakopita, hummus, baba ghanoush, and Greek salad). Of course, I had to get a pistachio baklava for dessert.“
“Great service and very good food. Nice location on Grand Avenue with outdoor seating available in the summer. Fresh and bright Mediterranean flavors. Got the gyro platter which was really good and the yellow rice was amazing. but while I was dining I saw the waitress go by with a falafel burger. Now I got to go back“
“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.“
“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!“
“Great Gyro sandwiches in beef and chicken flavors, with sides including Spanakopita, special house fried potatoes, sauces and dinner plates with Gyro or chicken meat, salads and other sides. Love the crew always friendly. Not generally open weekends. Beverages available. Eat in or take out. They are expanding so we will see if they have more dining space and change to more days open. Packed during meal times but fast in line and tasty. Best Gyro we found so far. Parking lot tight but easy access and hopefully expanding as well. Convenient right off 90th and Penn!“
