    a plate of chicken and rice
    James L.

    Decided to give this place a try before my flight back home. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate. Which consisted of rice and very small amount of chicken and a pickle ( the pickle was a first). The food wasn't bad it was just bland. I mean nothing had any flavor whatsoever. The only thing that had flavor was the garlic sauce. After ordering my food I noticed that this place was actually featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. Which really doesn't say much because I've eaten at a few of the places that have been featured on this program and none of them were as good as the host made it seem. The people working were okay not very friendly but nor were they unfriendly or mean. To me it seems like they are there to do their job and that's it.

    Yum yum! I got the falafel wrap and make it a meal for an extra $5. So I got a side of fries and a drink too. Super pleased with the wrap it was really tasty and full of flavor. While the falafel is fried, it didn't feel greasy. I got the wrap with some hot sauce for an extra kick. The cucumbers were crispy which added to the texture of the wrap. The fries were the true star. I love when the fries are slightly breaded and extra crispy. Got some hummus too and excited to try it on my flight. **the only downside is the fountain drink dispenser is also used by the restaurant next to it and it's super awkward because the servers are pouring drinks and you're just awkwardly waiting to get your drink.

    Cool little food truck exterior. Quick and easy service. Prices are lower than what you'd expect at an airport so two thumbs up here from me. Ordered the vegetable samosas for $10 and was served freshly made in 10 minutes of wait time. The 8 mini samosas had peas and potatoes as expected. Not overly greasy. Enough to tie me over for a few hours. The to-go container included pickled cauliflower and other vegetables below.

    Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: n/a Overall: A good food option for the airport when you want something different than the usual chain food. The extended review... Food: Gyro Plate - A very hearty meal just before a flight. The gyro was very tasty though not quite as plentiful in portion, the rice and pita were there to complete the meal and fill me up before my flight. Service: Friendly host and cashier. Ambiance: Not much of one since it's more of a grab and go place. There is some seating in the common food area.

    I always get excited to see Mediterranean cuisine during my travel as it's one of my favorite cuisine. With excitement, I ordered Arabic Beef Shawarma, assuming it would be keeping up to it's name and be authentic. It was a complete disappointment. Soggy bread with not so good quality beef with appeared to be made from store bought Shawarma mix, which tends to be bitter. I think it gives a bad name to Arabic Shawarma. #onetimerrestaurant #Airwolf

    Gyro crap

    Place is horrible! Two slices of thin gyro meat if that's what you call it! The gyro sandwich was just full of lettuce and I asked for garlic.

    Clear menu options/prices!

    AMAZING FOOD! Seriously!!! Get the Greek salad with triple the meat! It's worth it!!! That said... I leave frustrated each time I visit. The problem is the customer service. Communication is rough (clear language barriers), and it took countless people (5) to find out how to ALLOW ME to get extra meat on my salad. The guy in front of me had his food taken by the guy in front of him because of their EXTREMELY POOR IDEA of gently sliding a TABLE NUMBER SIGN to identify orders, often leaving multiple table signs unused while the cashier calls out the order number. Absolute disarray. Let me note, each cashier I've dealt with has been kind, very well intentioned, and seem to mean well, but the method of getting your food into your hand needs a revamp. Poor management strategy.

    Gyro?

    70% pita, 8% meat 20% lettuce, 2% sauce. Very sad. 13$ for this..... i think i learned me lesson. I asked for sauce because it was so dry, sour wanted to charge me extra. Meat was like leather . Really disappointed.

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap
    Alicia O.

    Overall I would say Holy Land Deli was Ok. Not great not bad but it was Solid for an airport. I got the Chicken Shawarma with garlic sauce. Wrap fine . Everything about it was just ok, I don't really have anything more to say then that.

    It's called Holy land Express. Great food with resonable price. Comes with fries and drink. Terminal 1 Gate E. Next to RedCow. Fully Halal...Loved the Swarma. Hours are 7am to 9pm.

    Really tasty gyro plate with hummus!

    Stopped here again during a morning layover just to eat a falafel wrap at 9am. This place is a gem.

    We're in the area to support a neighboring Somali eatery. ICE protest going in full force on the…read morestreet, taking up an intersection with cries of the community. We got to that door just as the owners were closing up shop, so we asked for a nearby suggestion and were directed down the block, to the other side of the protest. My friend promptly forgot the name of the suggested eatery, and I was busy focusing on the protest and feeling so deeply proud of our community, so we simply meandered before arriving at Hamdi. Abdiladif had such a bright, warm grin spread across his face as he welcomed us into the space and led us to a back table that you wouldn't think there was a fight for human rights occurring right beyond the walls. Or rather, it's possible that he realizes that, yes, there was, and every voice outside and every visitor inside is proof of where this community stands in this fight. Yeah, okay, that'd be reason for me to grin, too. The menu was simple. A few protein options. A few vegetarian dishes. A few drinks. A complimentary cup of Somalian tea that you could refill at will at a station conveniently located at the middle corner between the two dining rooms. No prices beside the menu items, which was puzzling. Abdiladif was so friendly and happy to answer our many curious questions, offer clarifications and suggestions. We ordered the two goat dishes. One ended up being out of a key component, likely the happy result of several tables filling up before ours, so we ended up with two of the same goat dish. They weren't really named, so "goat" was all we went off of on the menu. My friend paired his with the spaghetti, while mine was with chapati, hummus, and creamed veggies. My friend ordered mango juice. The sweetened Somalian tea was plenty delightful for me. We both preferred the creamed veggies in the same bite as the hummus. The chapati seemed somewhat dry and needed the hummus. The goat was decently flavorful and tender, though not juicy. My friend struggled a bit with the larger bones on his pieces. We both loved the tea so much that we continued chatting while sipping on one last sweet refill, after learning that a dessert menu no longer existed. Before we leave, I leave my jacket and to-go container of lamb meat at our table to use the restroom. I return to my jacket missing. Baffled, I figure my friend had grabbed it. I turn to grab the to-go box and go pay on my way out. As I turn back towards the main dining room, a diner from a neighboring table within the room runs back in and makes a beeline for me. He's holding my jacket, folded tidily. Sheepish, he explained that he thought I'd forgotten it and had run out of the restaurant with it to look for me. It's unfortunate that painful times like these exist, but it's also beautiful to see community come together in light of that dark. There are several Somali places in this area, many other ethnic spaces to support in the Twin Cities. My friends and I look forward to getting to know a great many more.

    This place has GREAT food, and very attentive service. Very vegetarian-friendly, there were several…read moreoptions to pick from if you don't eat meat or fish. We will be back
