Middle Eastern Restaurants in Minneapolis, MN

“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!“

“Incredible flavor combinations that reward you for stepping out of your comfort zone!“

“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 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.“

“It’s sooooo good . I recommend 👍“

“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!“

“The best East African restaurant in the Twin Cities hands down! I go to Kalsan at least once a month to get the Chicken Suqaar with rice, it's one of my favorite dishes in the city. They recently remodeled the interior too so I tend to sit down instead of ordering take-out now. Great place!“

“The staff are always very friendly and helpful to both my client and I“

“great food, friendly, clean, and did I mention the food I had was yummy“
