“Had steak and shrimp $25.99 special. Everything was great except the steak. I unfortunately had to send back a tough gristle filled steak for a better, but tough steak.
The service was excellent, and they did their best to satisfy us. There are many delicious items on their menu, and we will be back... but steak will not be chosen again.“

“The Cajun is so yummy and the best in town“

“Wonderful dining experience for a birthday celebration with a foodie. Our server was extremely well educated about the menu and the sommelier's wine suggestions were spot on! Everything was delicious, the service was impeccable and the restaurant is lovely. Loved it!“

“Staff is very nice and accommodating. Love the decor and vibe of the place. If you miss filipino food, this can be a place to go. It's a different region of filipino food from what I'm used too. Prices are pretty good with the portions sizes.“

“Wife had the shrimp avocado toast and lobster tail with red potatoes and corn on the cob. I had the lunch smash burger with bacon, great flavor you can tell they use quality meat. I also had the fried shrimp basket with fries, very tasty. Staff was great as well, definitely going back tomorrow.“

“Today was my first time eating Herr and it was very good.“

“We stopped here on December 24th looking for fresh lutefisk and were pleased to find we could buy a 5lb filet. The lutefisk was amazing I was told and in the future we will be sure to call ahead and place the order. The manager was running back and forth with several options before we decided to just buy the 5lb filet. I can say I was amazed, they cooked it in the oven and when I returned that evening I could hardly smell anything other than the usual air fresheners we have in the house.

So thanks again for helping keep a Christmas tradition alive and hope the girls hockey team does great.“

“Очень вкусно , красивое стильное место, очень понравилось.“

“Often, lovely food cooked simply can be the best. That was my experience at Chilango. Fish tacos with a side of charred peppers and onions plus a side of red rice. Staff are trying really hard. Give ‘em a chance.
They have a great mezcal selection too!“

“We stumbled upon "Barwaqo" as it's now called when we were headed to the Electric Fetus for a book signing event; apparently this place changed hands about a month ago (Oct 2023) so previous reviews under the old Cala name are not relevant. We felt very welcomed by the owner and staff, and had an amazing dinner of Somali chicken and rice, sambusa, and the spinach dish which game with roasted goat and a fava bean soup with glutinous rice cakes. Everything was fresh and delicious and obviously made with a lot of care, and all of the food we got only came to about $45. We were thrilled to have randomly taken a chance on an unknown place and we will go back in the future. When we talked to the owner outside afterwards, I asked one of the staff what "barwaqo" means in Somali and he said "gift" but when I looked it up, it means "prosperity." Take a chance on this place at the corner of Clinton/Franklin instead of the Wendy's across the street!“

“My husband had gotten off work and it was almost closing. I hate doing that but I was starving. We got food that was awesome and the gentleman taking our order was very awesome and helpful and the place was very clean and very comfortable! Best wings and cat fish I've had for a long time! Great job guys! Thanks so much!!“

“Everything is good the wings and fried rice is the best the fish is crispy and fresh the fries are just the way I like them they are the best and the price is right it won't break the bank loe love it been going to seafood to go for as long as I been in MN and that's for 30 years they only gets better“

“I’m so happy Deluxe Plaza went with this food vendor and they were able to move in and take over. This restaurant is my daily go to for employee group food and daily lunch. Reasonably priced and amazing service. Each employee like Ahmed greets you with kindness and care while serving great food. I recommend it to everyone.“

“Thank you for superb service and wonderful food. Best lasagna I have ever had!“

“Our waiter Eric was amazing dealing with such a big crowd for our dad’s birthday.“

“These folks have known how to do fine dining for decades. One of my favorites growing up and now I take my own kids.“
