Middle Eastern Restaurants near Bloomington, MN

“Allegedly one of the best places to eat in the MOA… I got the new Chicken tenders and they were really good and filling! 🙏

My friends portion of beef was significantly less despite the higher price tag, so they didn’t feel full.

Also I wanted to love the rice but it was pretty tasteless. 🥲 but I liked the pickles!!!“

“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!“

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

“Mim’s Cafe is a FIND! Great atmosphere, friendly workers and our schwarma was delicious! The mocha and chai were on point too. We will be back!“

“Excellent food. Highly recommend it.“

“I was staying in the University of Minnesota and this place was a life saver when I did not want to eat in the dining hall. Their falafel sandwich was genuinely some of the best falafel I have ever had and their fries were undoubtedly the best fries I have ever had. The service was super quick and we got our food in under 10 minutes consistently. The staff was super friendly and the restaurant had a great atmosphere to it. Would strongly recommend if you are in the area!“

“Amazing food! The goat was SO good, literally fell off the bone, rice flavor was incredible, and chapati was soft and very good with the hummus. The service was so kind and brought out complimentary lentil soup and Somali tea for each of us. The online menu seems to be a little off, some of the prices are actually lower than they’re listed for. Would definitely come again!“

“I visited Naf Naf - Eagan on 5/5 at approximately 5:30pm and the two gentlemen that helped me were incredibly attentive, helpful, and kind. I have utilized Naf Naf for large catering services but the service I received today encourages me to visit in person more often! Truly the best service experience I've had in a while, thank you to you two!! Gracias por todo“

“I go to Naf Naf grill a lot and recently tried this Naf Naf Grill location. They have very good pita and chicken. I absolutely love the pita sandwich and just can't get enough. They are very delicious and taste awesome when paired with the right sauces.
The staff here are very nice. Though the price of Pita sandwich meal is a lot on the higher side compared to such meals in the area, the Pita meal deal $9.99 for pita sandwich with fries and coke was the perfect pricing and hope they make it permanent.
Overall a great delicious food place and a must try!“

“Good portions, good food, clean restaurant. Only downside is pricing is a little high. But it's in the Minneapolis Skyway right next to the Hennepin County Government Center. Prime location costs.

I'd recommend it for your downtown lunch needs.“

“It’s just so good in every thing you want in dining.“

“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.“

“East Village is hands down the best Somali restaurant around!
Their sambusa is absolutely delicious — crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The chicken salad is next level: clean, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The quality of the food here is unmatched, and the service is always friendly and fast. If you’re looking for top-notch Somali cuisine, East Village is the place to go!“
