28 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Hopkins

“Their food was very flavorful, and authentic. Got the birria quesadillas, wings, and torta. Will come back for more 🙂🙂“

“Good stuff for takeout. Big portions ad filling. They were out of what I was going to initially order, but don’t let that intimidate you. Just ask what they do have or what they might recommend. The guy working the kitchen let my friend and I try a couple different types of meat that were both great since we hadn’t had it before. Sambusas were good too but are spicier meat.“

“1st time excellent food excellent service definitely I will come back.“

“After exploring the sculpture garden, Loring park and the walker art center. We decided to stop for lunch at Cardamom.
I had the pistachio latte and beet salad and my daughter had the marscapone pistachio French toast with a Shirley temple and we both loved our lunch and the lovely atmosphere.
It did take a bit to get service once seated but we did not mind as the restaurant was relaxing and surroundings were beautiful to look at. Would definitely recommend and stop in again if we are ever in the area“

“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.“

“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.“

“What a delightful evening this was! It was truly a dining adventure with the variety of dishes and flavors in such an enjoyable homey atmosphere. Mo was a gracious host and at once we felt at home in his home. There was time to socialize and meet the other diners but also time to enjoy your own privacy with the people you came with to dine. I have been smiling all weekend thinking about this wonderful experience; I will definitely be back and can’t wait to share this gem with others. 💜“

“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!“

“Amazing Ethiopian food, woman owned and operated, Muna has put her life into this restaurant. We are so grateful that she supported our school, when we took a trip to Africa in our Junior Crusaders Preschool Program. The kids were enthralled with the new food they were able to try! Thank you Muna for being a beacon of love in our community!“

“Went For Lunch! Fresh & Yummy! Great Service!“

“It’s sooooo good . I recommend 👍“

“Ordered chicken shawarma bowl and it was good not great! Needed more flavors since the rice texture is thick. My husband's chicken shawarma in pita tasted amazing though. I guess if rice were either flavored more or rice were thin textured would have been great!

Parking: Plenty of free parking

Kid-friendliness: Restaurant is spacious so people were not bumping into toddler chair like happens at other places“

“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.“

“Food is Always Amazing, Staff is always Friendly and Welcoming! I always make it a stop on my trips across Minnesota! Great Place!“

“Looking for an unconventional (for me) lunch spot and found this gem in the skyway downtown. First time with African food and will certainly be back to try the rest of the menu. Went with the afro steak bowl, cucumber, feta, mango pico, tiziki and chipotle sauce...great flavor combos. Meet was soft enough to chew but firm enough to bite, just the right amount of tomato and seasoning. Curry seasoned basmati rice was spot on as well.“

“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.“

“Just wanted to give a big shout out to this market. I was near a similar store today so I went in to check it out. All their tahini was priced at least 2x as much cost wise, and the bulk olives in the deli case didn't have a price posted on them, and when I looked, nobody asked me if I need help and just ignored me. When I go to this market, the prices are always clearly posted, and the food I get is always great for the price. Someone always asks me do I need help, and then my experience is great. If you are curious about shopping at this market, I love it, it's great. Shop here to be happy with your shopping experience.“

“Amine did a wonderful job providing food and service for my mom's Celebration of Life dinner.

The food was much enjoyed and so nicely presented. Amine was generous, kind, helpful and accommodating; he even went to the trouble to provide us a gluten-free dessert- so lovely it was!
Much appreciated.

Thankful.“

“loved the gyro I ordered for lunch, super yummy. 💜“

“After a long day at a work conference, my wife and I were looking for a memorable dinner experience—and Fhima’s delivered in every possible way. From the moment we walked in, we were transported to a different era. The 1920s Art Deco interior is absolutely stunning, with glowing chandeliers, velvet textures, and a bar that could easily be a movie set. It’s classy, cozy, and quietly buzzing with charm. We started with the sampler appetizer—an incredible way to warm up our palates with bold, layered flavors. My wife ordered the Chicken Tagine, which came beautifully presented and full of rich, comforting North African spices. I went with the Wagyu NY Strip, which was grilled to perfection and paired with saffron rice that was as fragrant as it was flavorful. The rosemary chimichurri on the side added a nice kick. For drinks, my wife had a well-balanced Cosmo, while I couldn’t resist their signature Call From Istanbul—a dramatic and smoky twist on the classic Old Fashioned, served with flair (and actual fire). What made the night even better was the attentive, personable service from Eli and Will. Their recommendations were spot on, and they made us feel welcome without ever being overbearing. Whether you’re a local or a visiting foodie, Fhima’s is an absolute must for date night or any occasion that deserves something special. We’ll be talking about this meal for a long time—and already planning our next visit.“
