Afro Deli & Grill — Restaurant in Saint Paul

I came in and the employee taking orders making orders and handling cash without washing his hands and did not ask for help seeing and knowing he needed help with the line that formed. I decided to wait and ordered chicken sambusa and a grilled cheese kids meal. The grilled cheese was not fully cooked literally looked like four pieces of cheese just slapped on toasted bread the cheese was not melted at all. The chicken sambusa was so oily and it had large chunks of dry chicken in the inside. I’ve never had sambusa with chunks of chicken literally cubes of chicken. I then get my food and proceed to sit down but the sitting area was so dirty from the tables to the floors I just threw the food away and left because if it’s this dirty in the sitting area then it’s dirty in the prep area and I was not going to allow my son or myself to eat in filth. This place to be on the news and have more than one location should really be ran a little better. I won’t support them anymore not like my money will affect them. Just want them and others to know it’s not clean and the food...

Wow! I was out walking wondering where I should go for a late lunch....and as I walked down 7th Place...the smell lofting out of the building made me stop in my tracks and say to myself...." Why have I never tried this place?!" So I stopped in and I am happy I did! I was greeted by the sweetest girl asking if I had questions...and while I checked out the menu I asked her what her favorite was...and she mentioned the steak sandwich...so I ordered it. It was PERFECT! Portion size was big enough to know down 6' 4" 250lb guys hunger...and the portions of meat/bread/veggies were great! (Wish it had a little more veggies though...) The taste... amazing! All for a reasonable price? Yup! There was a guy behind me that said his favorite was the chicken fantastic...so that's next (I'm guessing tomorrow at this point)... If you have not been here...you need to go! Vegetarian options....Gluten free options (my wife is celiac so huge plus) with food that is freshly made and has more taste than anything ever imagined by a fast food...

Went there on 12-2-24. Asked The guy who was preparing my mail if he could change his gloves. He didn't want to change the gloves after touching my wrap paper what is open palm. I asked again, he said he didn't know why he had to change them but he did. I told him he had the gloves on before I came into the restaurant. And then I asked him to change the wrap paper because he had touched it with his open palm with the dirty glove on. That's when he got upset and slammed his hand down on the paper and bought it up and threw it hard into the trash can. I said "oh no, no I won't be eating here with that bad energy. All because I asked you to change your gloves and you're upset like that!!! You won't get my money!!" I left. Came back in to record his face.

I reported the restaurant to the MN health department.

And I will mention the other guy who came out eating and didn't wash his hands, but he put on a...
