Music sets the mood to escape and forget the outside world and care for those within. Nothing fancy needed. It took a few minutes to order because so many many dishes we hadn't eaten before! John chose a kabab and I chose the gyro platter. They were both very good! My platter was piled high with gyro meat and all the fixings. Maybe too much rice on the plate and definitely could lessen that and increase the Tzatziki sauce!!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Holy Land. This place is a total gem in Northeast…read moreMinneapolis. I am always amazed by how much they have going on here. It is way more than just a restaurant, because the attached grocery store stocks everything you could ever need. I love being able to grab hard to find spices, fresh pita, and halal meat like goat or lamb all in one trip. The food in the sit down area is just incredible too. You have to try the hummus. It is seriously creamy and flavorful, probably the best I have had in the city. I also ordered the shawarma recently, and the spices were perfect. The vibe is great, but the workers really make it special. Everyone is super nice and willing to help you find things in the aisles or figure out what to order. It feels very welcoming every time I walk in. If you have not been here yet, you are definitely missing out!

If you go to the Holy Land location it is a small grocery store on one side and a small restaurant…read moreon the other side. The grocery store has many different foods from around the world and for a little while I was trying different breads from different regions. The bread section is one whole corner and is fun to try all the different varieties. The restaurant side you order food at the cashier and then sit at a table. So there really isn't much service here. The food consistency has not always been the same. Sometimes it's just ok but other times it has been amazing which is why it's getting 4 stars instead of 5 stars. Overall it's a good choice but I do mostly take away for the food. My favorite is the chicken lovers combo. Also note there is a large parking lot in back rather than trying to find street parking but I usually only go here if I am going to the grocery store. If I just want food from the restaurant I just do a delivery service or a quick pickup.

There was a problem with one of the dishes, so that's why it's only at a 3. My friend and I got the lagman, tandoori bread, assorted shish kebabs , and small plov to share. Overall, the food was flavorful and portions were generous. We really enjoyed the lagman's deep flavor. The bread was just okay, as well as the plov. We got a small size, but it was still pretty big. The assorted shish kebabs came with lula, lamb, and chicken. The lula and lamb were great! However, I took a bite of the chicken skewer and it was cold and ended up being raw. We checked the rest of the chicken kebab and found that while the middle pieces were cooked, then ends weren't. We brought this to the server's attention and he was very apologetic and immediately took it away for us. It was not the server's fault for sure. He informed us that he would let the cooks know and offered some alternatives (1. they remake the chicken skewers, 2. remake the whole dish (and I guess we would still be charged?), or 3. just remove it from our check). We chose the third option. Overall, service was friendly and nice. They were just swamped because there was also a banquet that was going on. I wonder if that also contributed to what happened with our food. While I was disappointed, I am willing to give this another try some time later. I would just be hyperaware of how meats are cooked.

The kebab looked really appetizing but was a little under seasoned for me. I saw two other tables with locals that seasoned their food with salt so perhaps it's more of a customer preference than a seasoned meat on the grill. I counted one guy who shook the salt shaker 21 times, which I thought was excessive. Maybe the salt isn't too salty. I added some on mine. I'm comparing this to another middle eastern place near my place. I may consider another dish to try if I go back.

Dined here with a couple of colleagues and ordered a variety of appetizers and mains. Standouts for me were the dahi vada and chicken tikka, thought the latter was a bit unusual in that it was a little saucier that I'm used to and came with random bits of vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc). A couple things I wouldn't reorder were the lamb rogan josh, which was too creamy for my taste, and the makki ki roti, which was smeared with a little too much ghee. The menu is extensive, and I'd be happy to return to try some of the other items.
