    Sample platter
    Haley N.

    I've been to this place twice now and love the variety! I get a sample plate so that I can try multiple things and of what I got this time, the zakia salad is my favorite! This plate also comes with pita bread. Love that there are ample vegan options too, all clearly labeled. The service was kind and quick. There is some seating inside with expanded seating outdoors in warmer months.

    Falafel Plate with Tabouli and Lebanese Salad

    Nice to discover more good Lebanese food in NE Minneapolis. Zakia Deli passes the "aromas like in my Auntie Rose's (Armenian) kitchen" test. Service is cafeteria style but with attention to presentation as you can see on my gorgeous falafel plate. There are small tables and high table seating inside and some outside, Prices are very reasonable , especially for the good sized portions. The falafel are bigger and less peppery than some others I've had, relying on more subtle flavors.

    Beef-Lamb Gyro Special Plate with falafels and Beef Grape Leaves

    Huge fan of Zakia deli! Just wish they were open a little later so I could more regularly go for dinner. Zakia deli is an awesome Lebanese restaurant serving a wide variety of Mediterranean and American fare. The workers in this place are great and their platters are a crazy good deal. I got the Beef-Lamb Gyro Special plate and as my two sides, the guys let me get falafel and Beef Grape leaves. It all cost me under $15 and every last bite was delicious. This place is a nice family style shop that I could easily see myself coming to weekly. All of the food here looks absolutely delicious and is incredibly affordable, I need to come back already!

    Wow this was delicious and for a great value! Was able to order upon entering and decided on each of the Wednesday specials. The workers were friendly and helpful in taking my order and recommending sides. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside. The lamb shank was fall/off-the-bone tender, and the sauce with rice was a great combo! The chicken was also delicious -- the acidity provided both flavor and tenderness that the meat could be cut with a (plastic) fork! Tried 2 sides on each plate -- potato wedges, falafel, meat pie, and stuffed grape leaf (with meat). Loved. Them. All!! Definitely will be back for more!

    Food here is always pretty flavorful. I love that it's not always the same special giving my taste buds something to look forward to daily. Service was great, and they make you feel right at home. It's a nice little spot that's always packed with outdoor seating as well.

    It's hard for me to review this cuisine because I'm so unfamiliar. Overall, I enjoyed the adventure but I didn't taste anything that I'd love to repeatedly come back for. I ordered everything per their recommendation, but it felt all I was given was tons of appetizer like things. It didn't feel like a meal. It also was difficult to order because mix and matching things proved difficult when the cuisine wasn't familiar.

    Lunch dir me and the little guy

    Stopped by here for lunch. Been on my list for a while. Quaint little place. Has a parking lot. Was busy even though they had just opened and while I was there, there was a constant stream of people coming in to get lunch or order takeout. They were helpful and friendly at the counter and happy to oblige to requests. I ordered the lamb shank (which was their special for the day) with a meat pie and grape leaves stuffed with meat an rice. The quantity was good. The meat pie was a little dry. They warmed up the meat pie and the grape leaves. The warm grape leaves rolls was new for me. I have always had them cold. The lamb was tender. I did find the food to be a little on the bland side. Good value for money and a good clean lunch spot. I would give it another try and try some of their other dishes. But for now, Emily's is still my go to for lebanese food and Caspian Bistro has the best Mediterranean style lamb shank in my opinion.

    I'm in the Twin Cities roughly every 6 months. A trip to Zakia is one my highlights. I completely enjoy the 5 item deli sampler. So good.

    I love Beirut. It has quickly became one of my favorite local spots…read more It's great for both sit-down and takeout. Their online ordering system is super easy to use, and ordering in person is just as smooth. The menu has such a good variety, everything from fresh salads to wraps and kebab plates. Honestly, everything I've tried has been so good. The garlic sauce is a must, it's incredible. My go-to is the shawarma unwrapped because you get a huge portion and can build it exactly how you want. The food is fantastic and the portions are very generous. The space is clean with plenty of seating, and the staff is amazing. They're so friendly and always make sure you have everything you need.

    Finally made it down to Beirut Street Food. We had been big fans of "The Port" for almost 20 years…read more The Sultan remains one of my all time favorite meals. Lebanese food is just one of those foods that we can't live without. So while we were sad when "The Port" closed, we were excited to hear they were opening Beirut Street Food. Today we ordered their Kabob family meal. That comes with a lot of our favorites. The choice of 4 kabobs, we picked chicken and kafta, 2 vegetable kabobs, salad, their delicious lebanese rice, bread and the addictive toum. We added a few grape leaves and extra bread to snack with that toum. Those who know love bread and tourm. Everything was excellent! I have tried multiple times to make kafta at home and it never is as good as they make it. The chicken is always cooked perfectly. A nice char from the grill, and tender and juicy on the inside. The grape leaves a nice balance of sour from the leaves filled with savory rice and meat. So good. The vegetables were grilled perfectly. Not overly grilled, sweet with a little crisp. Everything was just as we remembered. They are now located in a strip mall with plenty of parking and a few seats inside. While the Sultan is not on their menu., they do have lots of other tasty options that we look forward to returning for.One of our favorite places!

We got to that door just as the owners were closing up shop, so we asked for a nearby suggestion and were directed down the block, to the other side of the protest. My friend promptly forgot the name of the suggested eatery, and I was busy focusing on the protest and feeling so deeply proud of our community, so we simply meandered before arriving at Hamdi. Abdiladif had such a bright, warm grin spread across his face as he welcomed us into the space and led us to a back table that you wouldn't think there was a fight for human rights occurring right beyond the walls. Or rather, it's possible that he realizes that, yes, there was, and every voice outside and every visitor inside is proof of where this community stands in this fight. Yeah, okay, that'd be reason for me to grin, too. The menu was simple. A few protein options. A few vegetarian dishes. A few drinks. A complimentary cup of Somalian tea that you could refill at will at a station conveniently located at the middle corner between the two dining rooms. No prices beside the menu items, which was puzzling. Abdiladif was so friendly and happy to answer our many curious questions, offer clarifications and suggestions. We ordered the two goat dishes. One ended up being out of a key component, likely the happy result of several tables filling up before ours, so we ended up with two of the same goat dish. They weren't really named, so "goat" was all we went off of on the menu. My friend paired his with the spaghetti, while mine was with chapati, hummus, and creamed veggies. My friend ordered mango juice. The sweetened Somalian tea was plenty delightful for me. We both preferred the creamed veggies in the same bite as the hummus. The chapati seemed somewhat dry and needed the hummus. The goat was decently flavorful and tender, though not juicy. My friend struggled a bit with the larger bones on his pieces. We both loved the tea so much that we continued chatting while sipping on one last sweet refill, after learning that a dessert menu no longer existed. Before we leave, I leave my jacket and to-go container of lamb meat at our table to use the restroom. I return to my jacket missing. Baffled, I figure my friend had grabbed it. I turn to grab the to-go box and go pay on my way out. As I turn back towards the main dining room, a diner from a neighboring table within the room runs back in and makes a beeline for me. He's holding my jacket, folded tidily. Sheepish, he explained that he thought I'd forgotten it and had run out of the restaurant with it to look for me. It's unfortunate that painful times like these exist, but it's also beautiful to see community come together in light of that dark. There are several Somali places in this area, many other ethnic spaces to support in the Twin Cities. My friends and I look forward to getting to know a great many more.

    This place has GREAT food, and very attentive service. Very vegetarian-friendly, there were several…read moreoptions to pick from if you don't eat meat or fish. We will be back
