Honestly it was a weird experience. I had chicken biryani and another person had gyros fries which came with cheddar cheese sauce? We were also given complimentary bananas. Yeah I'm still confused about the whole thing. But the food was good. The food seems to be a mix of Indian, Mediterranean and even some African dishes/traditions. The menu is on 3 tvs which rotate the image so you can't study them for long. I have a feeling there are more dishes that weren't listed. I repeat- this was a weird experience compared to most dining situations here in the US. But yeah we liked the food. The other weird thing is the TVs in the dining room were BLASTING CNN. It was so loud and they were talking all politics. I'm not a super fan of cable news over dinner, but YMMV. We didn't ask them to change it or turn it down. read more

Not sure if they treat people of different nationality different, but the gyro meat was hard and gross. I was very disappointed. I have no rating for this place. read more

I would definitely come again! This place was a whole in the wall. Service was good, everyone was asking if I needed anything else. The soup was soooooo good!! The biryani was amazing, bets I've had in a while. The hummus and samosa was okay but still good. It was a little hectic and we didn't know how to sit or where to order. But it was so good, I need to come back! read more

I'm still confused about why this place is named Golden Fingers (making a mental note to ask next time) but don't let it deter you from trying this place out! A friend and I needed to go to a theater show nearby & found this place on yelp. The fact that they had a deal for 10% off your first order led us to choose this place over others. We needed to find a place that was also vegetarian-friendly and this place looked like it had a number of options. They sadly had run out of vegetarian nuggets by the time we arrived but my friend got their hummus appetizer, falafel, & vegetarian (potato) samosa. I got their gyro & a meat samosa. All were really good, especially for the price ($7.50 for mine). I recommend asking for their various sauces. I liked the green sauce the best since it had some kick. Overall, had a great experience here. Staff were super friendly & even asked how everything was after we'd been eating for awhile. This place has a neighborhood-favorite kind of feel where the locals go after work or with their families. So join the locals and check this place out especially if you're looking for an affordable but satisfying meal! read more

A relatively unassuming spot on the corner of Chicago and Franklin, Golden Fingers has become my neighborhood go to. They offer African, Mediterranean, Indian, and fried American foods that are all cooked to order. After trying a few things, the chicken suqqar has become my absolute go to. Perfectly seasoned chicken, yellow rice, grilled peppers, grilled onions, then a small salad on side with lime wedges. I get mine spicy, so they include house made green hot sauce (won't kill you and has quite a bit of flavor). I prefer to mix all of mine together, as the tomatoes and cucumbers from the salad actually compliment the dish quite well. Like most African spots, the meal is served with a banana as well. It's a steal for around $7 at lunch and $10 at dinner. Service is awesome, but depending on how busy it is, it may take a little time. I'd DEFINITELY recommend calling in before hand. Food is all made fresh to order and there's no shortage of hand sanitizer for anyone who needs it. Staff follows all COVID protocols and once they get to know your face, become quite inviting. You are able to dine in now with proper distancing, but it is still counter service. Does Golden Fingers offer five star ambiance? No. It's a corner, neighborhood spot. However, it does give you five star quality food for the price you pay and five star service! read more

Golden Fingers - Chicken Suqqar - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I am so so impressed by the portions and quality for price at Golden Fingers! I ordered the Shawarma feast which came in a full sized aluminum server tray and filled to the top with yummy saffron rice, tender meats, and came with two drinks, hummus, and pita! Wow o wow. The quality for the cost is amazing. I also got the gyro fries which were extremely cheesy and also a good portion but not super flavorful. Think philly cheese fries :) the food was extremely freshly made and I ordered for pick up and only had to wait ~5 minutes for the food to finish up. The place itself isn't very well decorated, but I still dig the club lights on the ceiling. Definitely could use some work on keeping the tables and floor cleaned which is why I'm giving it 4 stars, but the food itself is reason enough for me to come back! read more

We ordered the Goat Sport + Fries. It was perfect. My daughter stopped half way through and asked for a box because she wanted to eat it again tomorrow! PS - this place is Halal! read more

Ordered 5 meals and a few sides. Only 2 meals came with my order. They didn't want to send out what was missing... Never again read more

Best Sambusas in town! Great service! Owner are so nice. If you are ordering for a party I recommend to call a day in advance to place your order. read more

Went in to get a Gyro and Fries combo. It was easy order for take out. I'm a no salt fry person, but forgot to request no salt. Luckily the cook only used a little. Sandwich was a good size, but I didn't open it until I got home and no cucumber sauce. Next time I will request it on the side. I had some ranch dressing so that worked. Fries were good and crunchy. I just got a can soda since it was a combo. I would try different foods here. The area is always sketchy, but the place looked clean. read more

Golden Fingers - Gyro and Fries combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I had the gyro plate with fries. It was very good, and the cucumber sauce was delicious with an extra kick of spice... spice as in spicy, but still holding the cucumber sauce flavor! The Philly cheese steak was a generous size and very filling, but it had mayo on it and I wasn't a fan of that. I like mayo, but not on my Philly cheese steak. read more

Their food used to be good, don't know what changed may be different cook ? But this time food was horrible too much cheese in the steak sandwich and fries were reheated Overall bad experience read more

Golden Fingers - Philly Steak Sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Man!! Golden Fingers had me finger licking! I ordered the chicken biryani and it was good! I also ordered a side of shawarma, along w pita and hummus, and they both did the job. I ordered take out, so I can't say what the inside of the establishment looks like, nor can I comment as to if the staff is cordial, but this food slapped(was very pleasing) for a first try. I may have visit. read more

My favorite is the Gyro with rice. It's delicious and savory full of flavor. Its a big plate so two people can share

Made 2 orders that I never received and they also took my money and didn't refund it.

I take my old review back of one star.... they actually did see my yelp review and made it up to me. They took my yelp coupon and apologized and now I can honestly say they are more like friends now! Shocking I know.. but this place really is a classic and worth a shot. Really enjoy my meal and time here. Really REALLY recommend this place for tasty Mediterranean food and good company! read more

We walked here from our AirBnB and ordered take-out. It was easy to order and our food was out quite quickly and for a good price! We ordered the chicken shawarma, falafel and a beef samosa. We only wanted the shawarma, not the meal and we're charged for the fries (as a meal)- which were delicious; but we didn't order them and weren't asked to confirm. The falafel was even spicy which we weren't expecting but still tasty. The Shawarma was cooling and delicious (but still a bit spicy, even without the sauce). The food was very good but we weren't expecting the inconspicuous spice/heat. Samosas we're fantastic and I'm sure they know that! read more

Two stars for the food. Zero for the service. I ordered chicken plate with garlic sauce. No garlic sauce. Yogurt paste on the outside of the chicken was not cooked. No seasoning. Not even salt. Tahini sauce obviously poured straight out of a can. No seasoning at all. Nothing. Hummus same problem. Sent the wrong dessert. Not returning. read more

We ordered 2plates and when we got the order one was completely different I called the store and was told they didn't have what I ordered and they decided to replace it with foul chicken that was totally disgusting we didn't receive any sauce that we ordered and a gyro plate had no pita and was also disgusting. I can't believe this place is in business. Nasty nasty nasty. Stay away far away read more

Amazing spices and flavor, amazing portions for price points, and lots of variety. I love that there are several types of Sambusa/Samosa. Even the rice is flavorful and you can tell there is care put into making it! Must try, for sure-- especially if you are a known fan of African, Middle East, or Mediterranean foods. Their Beef Shawarma plate reminded me of one of my go-to menu items at Ethiopian restaurants (ZilZil Tibs)-- the flavor was AMAZING. Their Kofta Kebabs are fantastic, hummus amazing, etc. I truly believe there is not a single dish that is made poorly at this restaurant. Golden Fingers is definitely my local go-to at this point. read more

The food was fine. Very good. Not great. But of good value. I had the chicken kabobs, which were better than the chicken shawarma. The portions are very large. The salad was large, but very basic. The styrofoam packaging is out-dated, however the paper straw was thoughtful. Lost one star because I did not receive my drinks. Don't know if it was the driver's fault or the restaurant's. I will say that the Uber Eats App instantly refunded the missing items the moment I reported them missing. The food took about 45 mins from order to delivery. Overall a good experience. I consider three stars average, and this place is a good value, large portions and tasty - with some room for improvement. read more

I would not recommended this restaurant to anyone! First off the place is absolutely horrifying. The paint job, TVs too loud, sticky tables and flies everywhere. I gave the place a chance. The customer service was unhelpful. I told one of the employees I'm vegan and have certain restrictions that are easy to follow. The employee was disrespectful and using a certain tone. I ordered a falafel sandwich without sauce and a side of fries. My sandwich turned out to have a sauce that the employee did not know what it was in it. He also lied about what was in it to persuade it. He did not even asked the cook who made my plate. How disrespectful he was. The fries came in late. He gave us the plate before we left. I would not spend my coins in this fairly new place. I left the place in such kept rage and disgust. read more

I work nearby and picked up lunch for a group of co-workers. The gyro and falafel sandwiches were good, $5.99 lunch special for sandwich and can of pop. We'll probably get food there again, I'd like to try a plate meal with rice and salad. Friendly staff and place looked clean. read more
