Great take-out! Portions are massive for the price point, and food is very fast. I ordered online for my first time trying the place. When I came to the location, the guy handling the orders was very fast and polite. He did seem surprised to see me tip, though. Told him I did it in cash so it couldn't get taxxed, and it was a pleasant exchange. When I turned to leave, though, someone immediately tried to solicit me for money. I was going to give her a few dollars too, since I know times are rough. However, the gyro guy somehow materialized behind me and immediately told the woman that she could not solicit money in the deli and that the kitchen would make her food. It got to the point where he was kind of guiding her gaze towards the counter so I could leave with my sandwich. I have never been in a scenario where I've seen a guy move so fast. I have further never been in a situation where a guy was that resolute after I tipped in cash. Probably gonna become a regular just for that, though. That was a crazy-nice thing to do for someone he just met, and I respect him a lot for also getting that lady food. The sandwich itself is REAL good, though. I love a lot of tzaziki sauce on my sandwich, so the bread-to-sauce-to-meat ratio is perfect for me. I'm also small, so this was easily 2 meals for me. It's great if you don't have much money and need to eat a lot of meat. The tiramisu is also really good. The only downside I can think of is the deli at Stadium Village is small, so plan to have 3 people in your party tops if you want to eat in-person. Worth at least one try in my book, but for me, I love it. Nothing beats a good, huge box of food made by folks who keep the world spinning with their attitudes. Hope this place remains open forever.

One of my favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities, and one of the best places to spend your money for many, many reasons. I'll explain. First, you can't beat the fries. They are heaven on a plate. You can't go wrong with the sambusas. Really anything you order here is amazing. Second, they keep their prices VERY affordable! I got an absurd amount of food for $14. Third, it's clean, inviting, kind staff, and just an uplifting place to be (I was having a frustrating day and this was an oasis of peace and happiness for me today). Lastly, the owner, Kahin, has got to be a literal angel on Earth. He and his incredible staff donate thousands of meals to the community. Whether it's K-12 students who would otherwise rely on school lunches for a meal, elderly residents who have difficulty leaving their homes, frontline healthcare workers, or other communities in need, Kahin is there with a smile and bags of delicious meals. I'll say it again: there is no small business more deserving of your money. Even Lizzo agrees!

Worst food ever. I at there today for lunch. I ordered eight wings, side salad and a beef Sambusa Let’s start with the hygiene. None of the cooks changed their gloves as they handled cooked, uncooked and fresh food, touching everything in the kitchen and then the food. Had to request the cook to change his gloves before he made my food. Salad- it was disgusting. The green pepper was literally rotten had to spit it out. The salad tasted like dirt. Wings- bland and mushy and undercooked. Bit into a second wing and it was raw. Left my food and walked out. I was too mad to ask for my money back because I was too afraid of what I may have done to the cooks. Avoid that dirty ass spot.

A nice quick and easy to obtain restaurant by the U of M campus! Was a big fan of their beef bowl. It was super savory and had a lot of beef. The chicken fantastic had decent flavors, but did not have much chicken at all maybe 7 pieces total in a large. The beef sambusas had a great crispy exterior, but the insides could have had more flavor. Fortunately the sauce they provided with it was not too bad. Overall food came out quick and it was tasty Pictured: 1. Medium Beef bowl 2. Large Chicken fantastic 3. Beef sambusas 4. Beef sambusas interior
