23 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Brooklyn Center

“I've been going to Falafel King since they were on Lake Street. Love the family. Love the food. Love the service. Always top notch. The only thing I can say that I dislike is that there is no option to tip the workers with a card. I don't carry cash, and being unable to tip them sometimes results in my going somewhere else. Fuoad, Saeed, please add a tip on card option.“

“Great food and not overpriced“

“If you find yourself in Minneapolis/St. Paul and are even a little bit hungry- I highly recommend you try this cozy, friendly, delectable local restaurant.

“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!“

“I just watched one of Josh’s videos and saw what y’all did. Any business that helps their community is just amazing to see but any business that’s willing to go half in as soon as they heard it was for the homeless shelter just melts my heart and gains my recommendation any day. I Haven’t been to Minnesota and would love to try y’all’s food one day. Just by looking at some of those chicken sandwiches makes me so hungry.“

“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.“

“The food ( Gyro, Shawerma) was delicious and big size.
The fries was not as good.
The service was very slow as a fasr food. You have to pick up the food and there is no system to let you know the food is ready.
Lots of vegie variety.
There were many people in kitchen, they should improve their system to serve faster. On top of that the food fresh and excellent“

“Excellent meal great rice taste meat is so tender and fresh the kebab taste real good bread unbelievable just try it and you will know what I’m talking about mouth watering food“

“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.“

“Just drove from North Dakota to come here (6 hour drive) and this is the best shawarma I’ve had to date.“

“Great food, good ambience and fast service“

“If you crave a different kind of food experience, a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern buffet with big flavors and a large variety of dishes to choose from. You won’t leave the place hungry. We like the babaganoush, hummus, tabule, lentil soup, the pita and breads, the various ways they make ribs, kofta kebab, and the great desserts, like kunafa and baklava. Once in a while, some of the food weren’t hot enough. All you have to do is just wait until they bring out more food from the kitchen. Be sure to ask for mint tea, it is our favorite drink. The place is usually packed with folks from the Middle East and Africa during lunch. Between lunch and dinner, you will not have trouble finding a table.“
