I go there for the delicious Middle Eastern food, which, for a buffet, is amazingly fresh and tasty. It helps, of course, that the buffet is replenished frequently. It includes a wide variety of salads, hummus, pita, soup, protein, and desserts--and it's all delicious! If you have not been to the family-owned Mediterranean Cruise, the building itself is surprisingly large and impressive. It features a 25-foot or higher ceiling, a private dining area, and even space for belly dancing presentations. While Mediterranean Cruise offers Mezas, soups, salads, rice and hummus bowls, sandwiches, and more off the menu, you must try the buffet to truly appreciate the breadth of their offerings. Highly recommended.

I've been coming here for years, but lately it just hasn't the same…read more The food is still good, but not at the level it used to be. I have pretty high standards for Greek/Mediterranean food, and it just doesn't stand out anymore. The pita has been dry, although the hummus is still solid. The platters are fine overall, but nothing particularly memorable. Service has also been a bit underwhelming recently compared to past visits. That said, the atmosphere is still a highlight. The space feels very authentic with all the decor, and the belly dancers are always a fun touch. The patio is also nice if you're able to sit outside. Parking can be a little tight in their lot, but there's a ramp nearby which makes it easier.

Good food spiced to my request)I like things hot). Service friendly, speedy and accurate.read more

Stopped by this evening and grabbed dinner to go. I don't normally eat Indian influenced food but…read moregot the butter chicken and it was so good. The beef shawarma was tough so I won't get it again. Family said the samosas we're ok and naan, which was also ok but didn't have much flavor; it's probably to offset any overwhelming flavors. The green spicy sauce has just the right of heat and the garlic sauce omg I need to get extra next time. I will be back for the butter chicken but looking forward to trying the chicken 65 because l enjoy a good spicy dish. Support this small local business. 1

The hummus bowls at Babas were amazing!…read more I ordered the chicken buffalo bowl. At first, I was a bit hesitant about the flavor combination but it turned out to be delicious. We also ordered a pita pizza-style and it was good as well. My personal favorite is the chicken buffalo and would recommend to anyone that plans to visit. It is located in uptown, parking isn't the easiest but it's worth it. Overall, food was good, restaurant was clean, service was also good and fast. I will return!

I got the Falafelicious, which was incredible (5/5)! The hummus was some of the best I've had, and…read moreI've eaten and made so much hummus! The falafel was super crunchy and good, and the mini pitas were also wonderful; they were slightly crunchy yet airy and fluffy. I think this is the best fast casual meal I've gotten, especially for $15. The service was pretty quick (4/5). The ambiance is very nice (5/5), epically for a fast casual spot. The interior and exterior is beautiful and modern with a lot of glass windows, and they also have board games and a small little shop.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. My only disappointment was the portion of protein for the price. For a $23.99 meal, I expected a lot more chicken. The veggies definitely outnumbered the small pieces of chicken, which made it feel a little unbalanced and not quite worth the cost. If they increased the protein portion, it would easily be a 5-star experience.

Anytime I see meat on a spit, I am salivating. Gyropolis is not my favorite Greek restaurant in MN, but I enjoyed my dining experience. Pros: - Staff was friendly and accommodating - Lots of seating space Cons: - I prefer being able to select which veggies and sauces I want, as opposed to Gyropolis' set platter items.

I usually go to Holy Land , and that is good, but this definitely is the next best thing. This also has a butcher shop, fresh pita and other breads, lots of produce with fresh mint, cilantro and parsley always plentiful and clean. They also have a small deli grab and go next to the butcher are where there are fresh made snacks, za'atr bread, spinach pies, etc The olive and cheese deli section is plentiful as well. There is a separate cafe which I did not try on this visit but will be back for it. Plenty of seating and they had my favorite Falafel sandwich on the menu My favorite part are the little snack goodies in the grocery area such as chips of unique flavors, a variety of candy , and salted nuts snacks. There is a large amount of Indian groceries as well for those looking for that. They say are the largest Halal market in Minnesota for those looking for that niche. They have their own private parking lot and are off of University Ave and 85th Ave. There is always someone available from the store to answer questions. Looking forward to trying their cafe next time.!

Finally made a point to come here for dinner and excited to try out their food! Not realizing it was also connected to the supermarket we wandered the aisles for a bit before heading over to the cooked food cafe. My husband grabbed some olives and immediately started eating them while we sat in the grill area--10/10 no regrets. We ordered the babaganoush, garlic spread, and a falafel sandwich. While we weren't huge fans of the pita (very bready), the dips were so good they made up for it. Great food, great market vibes, and a fun place to try something new!

The shop is cute, has a couple of seats but this really is a "take and eat on the way to your gate" kind of thing. The man behind the counter was very friendly! Made great conversation and was polite! Excellent service! We got one chocolate chip cookie and a samoa doughnut. The food: The cookie was good but not exceptional. It's also SO SMALL! Not worth the money! The samoa doughnut was the worst doughnut we have ever had... absolutely no flavor. I don't know what needs to change but that was not a good doughnut. It didn't taste very fresh either. Do I think it's worth a stop? Honestly no. Save your money.
