Afro Deli & Grill: Minneapolis

The two types of gyros were amazing. Both meats, lamb and chicken, tasted great and seemed high quality (not that strange over-processed chicken). Would eat the gyros again in a heartbeat but will be trying the wraps and beef sandwich on my next visits after running into a old colleague of mine at the restaurant who was eating those and highly recommended them! I can’t believe it took me so long to visit this restaurant! Besides the great food, the service was great and quick, and the meal reasonably priced!

This is a great place for people who interested in trying East African food. I ordered the Chapati Wrap, and it only took 5 minutes for them to cook my food. The food was well seasoned, and the quantity size is great. I wish the fries had more seasoning, but aside from that the food taste pretty good. The atmosphere is very relaxed.

I was staying in the University of Minnesota and this place was a life saver when I did not want to eat in the dining hall. Their falafel sandwich was genuinely some of the best falafel I have ever had and their fries were undoubtedly the best fries I have ever had. The service was super quick and we got our food in under 10 minutes consistently. The staff was super friendly and the restaurant had a great atmosphere to it. Would strongly recommend if you are in the area!

Food was great and service was friendly and reasonably fast for how busy it was. Everything was still hot so it wasn’t sitting out.

Food is made fresh, service is quick and friendly. It's a casual fast-food spot so don't expect much about the atmosphere of the restaurant. The times I went, many people just ate and left immediately. I wish the hours were longer, but apparently this location is opened the latest out of them all

I’ve been in a few times and each time is a delight! The lamb gyro is amazing and it comes with delicious French fries. I especially enjoy their chicken quesadillas. They also have the best coconut shrimp in Minnesota! This particular location is situated near the Gopher Stadium. Their perfect fusion of African, Mediterranean and American styled food is worth checking out.

Very good!
Update: 6 years later I’m back, used to hit up this location frequently and well,,, it STILL DOES NOT MISS!!!
Got sauce on my hands and everything, this place is bussin

Best place to eat on campus maybe Test Kitchen. Amazing and kind staff, fun atmosphere, and delicious food. I personally recommend the Chapati Wrap with chicken or lamb, or the gyro. It is to die for. Their fries come with a delicious sauce as well which I always request an extra one of.

Wonderful owner, nice open atmosphere, great portions for the price, tasty tzatziki, chapati wrap was yum and ginormous, chicken gyro had like 2 big ol breasts on it, fries were crisp and salty with a great sauce, just a wonderful experience!

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!

When I first came in, the atmosphere was so colorful and lively. I ordered the Gopher Lamb Gyro there and the staff were friendly and quick with my order. My meal was very delicious. I’d love to go there again if I had the chance. 10/10

Afro Deli is one of my go-to food options if I find myself on the U of M campus. Their food is delicious, and the service is great.

Afro Deli and Grill is a vibrant and welcoming hub that merges the cultures of Africa and America in a tasteful and exciting way. The restaurant offers an array of dishes that are both flavorful and wholesome. The Somali Steak Sandwich and Lamb Gyro were standout!

Halal food. Excellent taste, quality, portion size, and price! I have tried the entire menu, and all items are excellent, except for a few which are okay. They make the food fresh, so it takes some time.

The quantity given is great for the price (Veggie Fantastic and Fries - sauce with fries is amazing), and the food tastes great, especially after a long day. Definitely a great place to eat for those on campus wanting Indian-type food without having to go very far (The Afro is a short walk from Moos Tower). Drinks come with free refills, so that is also a plus. Views into street could be nicer though.

The food was stellar. Had the chicken curry and samosas. Tried all three types. The one with potatoes was ok but the steak and chicken was really good. The chicken curry was super yummy. Had me even eating my veggies willingly. The service was fast and friendly. He checked all orders immediately fixed any mistakes. Also communicated any changes to customers.

I got the chicken gyro and it was delicious! The service was timely and professional even during lunch.

The food here is great. Love the fries, and the veggie fantastic. Service is quick and friendly. The menu isn't extensive, but there are vegetarian and gluten free options. There's usually a line during the weekday lunch rush, but it tends to move quickly. Not a great space to sit down and chat, but there are decent options to take your food to go and eat outside if the weather is nice.

Love the food and service here. Although sometimes there might be a long queue but it only takes less than 10 mins to be my turn and the food will be ready in less than 10 mins as well. The food is delicious and comforting! I love the Beef Steak Dinner as well as their crunchy sambusa (eat it when they're still hot so it's still crunchy). I will definitely visit this place again!

Was in town to visit the medical center around the corner and wanted something not fast food.
well, this food was served pretty fast, but this ain't no McDonalds. Spouse and I had the steak sandwich, and it was very tasty. Nice heat to it, I call things like this a rich heat. It is spicy, but it has flavor and doesn't melt your face off. The veggies (onion and peppers) were very good, and the lettuce and tomato was a nice touch. The whole mess was pretty reasonably priced as well.
I will surely be going back when I'm in the neighborhood.
