We were craving beef sambusas and googled this place which was on the way home. We ordered over the…read morephone with Mama Safia and tried to get wings but she said they were sold out and recommended the drumsticks with the same marinade. We ordered 8 freshly fried beef sambusas with their house green sauce and chicken drumsticks with fries. We were greeted to take a seat and was served a banana and a water bottle. Probably THE best chicken drumsticks we've ever had! Whatever that orange colored dry rub was, was so flavorful with a little kick. It was not oily and the meat fell off the bone at first bite. The fries were hot and crispy, not soggy. The beef sambusas were so delicious, generously seasoned, and a larger triangle size, paired with their house green sauce that we could literally drink. We totally forgot to take a pic of the chicken because it was just that good

Friendly spot with decent Somali food. Stopped in late on a Monday night. Since it was near closing…read moretime, they were out of several items. Ordered the chicken suqqar and my friend got the beef suqqar with ugali. The meats were a little dry and didn't have a lot of flavor. I asked for some of the green sauce that helped, but it would have been nice if the dishes had more flavor on their own. The spinach dish that came with the ugali had a lot of flavor, and the ugali had nice texture. It was a very cozy space and the service was friendly, but I was also overcharged for my dish (didn't notice it until I paid). I wanted to love this place, but found it only OK. I will try it one more time since they didn't have the dishes I wanted to order.

We popped into Raag during the Edina Art Fair, so the whole area was already a bit chaotic. Inside,…read morethe food came out quickly and our server was absolutely great, but the front of the house was a bit of a different story. The young host was running around looking very flustered, which made the vibe feel way more chaotic. Thankfully, it looked like the owner noticed and helped take over organizing the staff and getting guests arranged at tables. We noticed they have a really fun cafe setup called The Corner Café with its own window in the corner. It was closed when we were there, but it turns out they actually operate as a full-service artisan coffee shop during the morning and afternoon, serving Spyhouse coffee and pastries before shifting entirely to fine dining at night! For dinner, my husband ordered the sticky cauliflower as an appetizer and declared it "the best cauliflower 'chicken' bites he's ever had"--he also absolutely loved the white sauce it came with. He also got the mango yuzu drink which was super refreshing. For entrees, we ordered the coconut curry, which had a great flavor and wasn't overly sweet (which can sometimes happen when a kitchen overdoes the coconut milk). I ordered the Delhi butter chicken. The waiter mentioned that their spice scale is a "Minnesota spice" scale, so I felt safe upgrading to medium since I usually order mild. Flavor-wise, it had a bit too much tomato flavor for my personal preference, but it was still well prepared and the pieces of chicken had a lovely, smoky flavor.

I had the chicken Chettinad and it was a great portion size with the perfect amount of spice/flavor combo. The garlic naan was to die for. Our server was also very attentive and professional.

Not good at all.

Stopped by for dinner on a Saturday night and I wasn't even sure if it was even open. The area…read morearound the restaurant in Uptown is really quiet and we didn't see anyone. Their entry way is in an alley facing the parking structure, so it's kind of strange. First thing I saw when I walked in was their pet dog sitting by the kitchen. ?!?!? Isn't that a health code violation? Or are rules different in MN? The restaurant is quite big. There were only about 5 other customers inside when we arrived so it felt very empty and quiet. The ambiance in the restaurant is very mellow with low lights, not sure if they were trying to create a romantic atmosphere? We were seated in a back booth. Our server was very friendly and upbeat and brought everything to us quickly. We ordered the Mee Kay Teeh (rice noodle with red curry) as was recommended by our server. It was a basically a noodle soup, reminds me of Khao Soi but rice noodle instead of egg noodles, and red curry instead of yellow curry, it was very good and hit the spot on a cold night! The pineapple fried rice was also good.

Hummus was amazing, the rice wasn't oily and chicken was nicely seasoned. The meal comes with all of it and a salad, only for $10.99. Falafel was crispy and not dry. The sandwich was gigantic and I had to take it to-go. Utensil station had lots of napkins, water, cups, spoons and forks. My only thing is it place seems very vintage and definitely not cozy and homey. Very spacious with lots of seatings, but expect a super vintage European cafe vibes.

I had heard good things and it was on my list for a while so was excited to try it. Clean place. I ordered at the counter. They told me there would be a 10 mins or so wait for my sandwich which was fine. Ordered my 12 inch turkey pastrami which is their most popular sandwich and a bottled drink. The total was 22 and change before tip which I thought was a little steep. The sandwich came in 4 pieces. Had the pastrami, tomato, pickle, peppers on a soft bread. The bread was fresh and soft. The sandwich was filled well with a good ratio of filling to bread. The taste was very well balanced and fresh. I wish there was more of the pastrami. Overall, I had a good and tasty lunch even though a little expensive. Happy to support a local black owned business. I would give this place a try if you want a good sandwich in a friendly environemnt.

The basil leaves used was Italian basil instead of the Thai basil for a little spicier herb flavor taste. Service was prompt with two kiosk to self order or at the counter. Prices are a little high for the noodle soup since the amount is less than what you would get a regular Vietnamese restaurant. It's a small cafe with a few tables to eat in and clean and decor is simple. The Mayan pull pork sandwich was flavorful and had a nice level of spice but was too saucy for my liking. Again, not a typical banh mi. I would try their Jasmine Rice bowl next time.

Their fusion of Vietnamese and New Orleans cooking is delicious! The atmosphere is fabulous - they explained to me how the decor in the restaurant transitions through various parts of New Orleans (ask them to explain it, I can't remember the specifics). The food feels plentiful for what it costs, especially compared to a lot of places in south Minneapolis. They also have a built-in coupon when ordering there and signing up with your phone number (as of June 2026), so it's even more affordable! I live pretty close, and I'm so excited to have this restaurant within walking/biking distance!
