Afandina Cafe

I loved this restaurant. They have excellent clean interior 👌. All the foods were delicious 😋 and the serving sizes were fair enough based on the low prices. I will highly recommend it.

Great food, fun interior decor. Self service. The meats were stellar. Rice and salads were average. Plenty of parking, good location right off the main road. Exterior is a bit run down, but otherwise great.

Love the food and people.
Recommend it definitely
In mother day we went there
And they closed it the restaurant but still take our orders.
They also give us extra dessert
and offer cake as well.
Our family really appreciated their hospitality and kind heart. ❤❤❤

Beautiful setting and wonderful food. The staff were really nice and playful. Great music. Really generous portions. The Greek salad is delicious and fresh and beautifully presented. Absolutely great spot.

The service 10/10
The food 10/10
The time food took to be served 10/10
The PRICE 10/10
I donnow at this rate i feel i should kiss the cook’s hands cuz that was soooo gooood. But i still don’t understand why they added cardamom on the shawarma, it doesn’t belong there, but u know…whatever works💙

Really good food and Palestinian Owned???? Perfect.

Such a cute spot. The food was delicious and service was great. We tried to kofta bowl, gyro and fries with garlic sauce. The portions are generous and the food is excellent. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed. We had a great visit and will be back! Very much recommend.

Really enjoyed the food here. Hummus was like butter, meat was phenomenal.

Delicious food with a good portion and reasonable price! The fries were amazing, the gyros are delicious, and the workers are friendly. Well my favorite is the shawarma :) The outdoor seating still needs improvement but it’s good enough for now. Overall, we love it and will definitely come back!

Really good food. Just fantastic. The chicken shawarma is the best I’ve had. Really good gyros also. The only knock, for me, would be the fries. My kids like them.

The chicken shawarma over yellow rice is delicious. I’ve had it a couple of times already. They could put more white sauce to mix with the rice, but I’ll ask for that next time.

Easy location to get to. Right on the corner of 40th and University. Ample parking. Easy menu to order off of. I’ll be back for sure.

The best middle eastern food in MN! Highly recommend the entire menu 😄
The only caution is to get sauces on the side or else food may taste too salty.

The food was so good that I didn’t even get the chance to take a photo of it! I had the saj shawarma sandwich, which tasted like an authentic Lebanese chicken shawarma wrap. The garlic was as strong as I liked, and the fries were delicious. I think it’s the best fries I’ve had so far! They have this unique double crunch and the perfect level of saltiness. For desserts, I had their Palestinian knefe, and it was perfect, but it must be shared with another person (quite a generous portion). I highly recommend this place!

We were put on waiting list at the restaurant across the Street, there was three in our dining party. We were all willing to try something, Authentic ethnic Mediterranean. All absolutely delicious.

Gyro was very tasty; the portion was ample. I'm so happy the owners were finally able to open. I've been watching it be built for years. Nice decor. Good people. Great food.

Had no clue what to order but glad I did! Got the number 2! Food was amazing and the inside of this place is pretty cool!

Love this place! Delicious Mediterranean food and great ambience. All their food is fresh and made to order. Sweets are handmade too and taste amazing (try Knafeh & baklava)

One of the best Mediterranean restaurants I have been in Minneapolis. Really loved the afandina mixed grill. Falafel was really great too

Got four different things (kofta, falafel, gyro, shawarma/gyro combo and ate every morsel. That good. Even the fries were first rate. If we lived here we would be regulars.

- Amazing inside place with worm feeling .
- Due COVID-19 we had to order to go .
- We order chicken shoarma meal, and was very very good , I can’t wait until we can set & eat inside..

Beautiful authentic decor, mouth watering menue and excellent customer service. We ordered Chicken Shawarma and the mixed grill and we loved it, The delicious fresh Kunafa was served with mint tea that made our dinner perfect. Definitely we will come back to this place .
