| Holy Land Bakery and Deli | (612) 781-2627 |
| 2513 Central Ave Ne, Minneapolis, MN | |
You do not know how much food pita can hold until you've ordered one of Holy Land's sandwiches, and you do not know how much food you can hold until you've eaten it. Gyros chicken or beef, falafel, and souvlaki are all available, stuffed into pita with equally generous amounts of tomato, lettuce, onion and tahini. You'll want to grab plenty of napkins, because you won't avoid a mess. The atmosphere here is quite informal, and prices are reasonable: about $6.00 for a sandwich that will stick to your ribs for hours. | |
| Jerusalem's Restaurant | (612) 871-8883 |
| 1518 Nicollet Ave, Minneapolis, MN | |
When one steps into Jerusalem's Restaurant, one feels that one has stepped out of time into a world of rich decor, rich scents and rich foods. The ambience is a key factor here: it is dark, warm and cozy, but retains an elegance that makes it as suitable for a business lunch as for a date. The food is superb, with portions rivalling those of Holy Land. Here you can expect to pay $9.00 a plate. Well worth it, especially if you come on a night when there is belly dance happenng. | |
| Emily's Lebanese Delicatessen | (612) 522-8975 |
| 641 University Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN | |
Emily's offers a good selection of mediterranean delicacies, and their shish kabobs are not to be missed. For a real luxurious treat, be sure to have their Halvah; they make it themselves and it is rich and creamy and full of pistachios. | |
| Frank's Dairy and Deli | (651) 778-9964 |
| 1201 Edgerton St., St. Paul, MN | |
Frank's Dairy and Deli is a staple among Eastsiders. This is a bit of a rare hybrid: a combination convenience store and gyro spot. They have a full take-out menu including Gyros, Falafel, Kofta, Chicken Gyros, Chicken-Kabob, and Shish-Kabob. For the less adventurous they also offer Chicago Roast-Beef and Sausages. Take out only, prep time is about 20 minutes, so call ahead. | |
| Dino's Gyros | (651) 645-8800 |
| 1670 Snelling Ave, Saint Paul, MN 55108 | |
Dino's is a great spot for a quick lunch or casual dinner. They offer the traditional greek sandwiches such as gyros and souvlaki as well as falafel. They also have the best french fries in the state of Minnesota, served piping hot. They also offer traditional greek dinners such as moussaka, and do a lovely spanakopita - traditional greek spinach pie, made with spinach, feta cheese and a touch of lemon in a flaky phyllo crust. | |
