I've been coming here to the skyway location in Downtown Minneapolis for 2 years. I work downtown and this location is convenient for me while I'm in the office. The food is delicious however there is an older gentleman that works behind the counter and is quite rude. The other staff are friendly and welcoming, however I've noticed the older gentleman is quiet, stares at me with a scowling expression and never speaks. I never thought anything of it until today. There were two white gentlemen ahead of me in line. The older worker was behind the cashier today (12/17/25) and completed the transaction with them. Once I ordered my food and approached the older worker, he pressed a button on the keypad for me to pay then walked away. He maintained a stern demeanor and never looked back at me or acknowledged me. I proceeded to tap my credit card and grabbed my own receipt. Luckily the other staff who assembled my food were welcoming and kind. I don't jump to race in situations like this but can't help noticed he completed the transaction and thanked the white gentlemen ahead of me then walked off once I was next in line. I've been coming here for 2 years and love supporting downtown businesses like this one and I tip generously. Needless to say I did not tip today and I hope nobody has to experience what I just went through today. I know this establishment aims to create a welcoming atmosphere and all other staff I've encounter have practiced that. Hopefully this review will raise awareness for the older gentlemen in some capacity. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

This is my favorite lunch spot in the skyway! The food is SO good. I love the chicken kebob bowl and the lamb koobideh bowl.

Incredibly, massively, unconscionably overpriced. 2.5 oz of protein plus some rice will run you $16-20. Wild times. Should get 2 protein skewers for the price, not just one.

Best falafels I've ever had - not dry at all and very flavorful. The side of orzo salad is delicious and fresh. The fries are crispy and perfect. 10/10 I could eat here every day.

Amazing everything fresh and delicious. First time visiting their restaurant. Gyro on warm naan. The French fries are next level. Cooked perfectly little crunch not soggy. Seasoned lightly, and the seasoned sour cream knocks it out.

There are not enough words in English to how amazing this place is. SUPER friendly service. The owner is amazing. Been coming here for years. Large portion sizes and always just enough fries to have some to bring home. 100/10 LOVE IT!

This has become my go-to for lunch. Quick service. Friendly, grateful staff. And the food is excellent. I usually get the hot chicken with saffron rice. The fries are great but if you want a healthier side, get the orzo salad.
Make sure you go early though, they tend to run of out of popular items.
Amazing Food! Healthy, with just the right amount of choices and the portions are generous! The owners have really taken the time to provide freshly prepared food at great prices!

A month ago I arranged catering for a group of 70 and couldn't be happier with the experience. The cuisine was outstanding, the service was impeccable, the pricing was very competitive. I strongly recommend their services for top-notch catering needs!

They are ALWAYS personable & generous with portions & sauces. They even took my expired coupon! I always get the chicken skewer bowl but im sure everything is good. The cucumber orzo salad is very fresh & refreshing; I could have that by itself.

Great food! Best fast Mediterranean spot downtown.

It was ok. I will try it again. Service was polite and quick. It would have been a 4 but I felt I add to ask for fries as a side. Service would have been a 5 if when I said this is my first time, there would have been an explanation of the Chipotle like set up for mediterranean food. When first arriving, I was the only person in line, so it would have been appreciated but not expected.Food was a 3. The chicken paco was very dry and was breadier than how I think of a meatball. The thing that saved the dish was the red cabbage.
