    Gyro meat combo plate with a chicken kabob, grilled zucchini and hummus. Very fresh and tasty.
    Tom C.

    Pretty sure the Greek gods are eating here. You can almost picture Zeus polishing off a gyro plate while Athena side-eyes him for double-dipping in the hummus. Everything tastes fresh, well-cooked, and seasoned like someone in the kitchen has divine guidance. My gyro plate with a chicken kabob was spot on -- the chicken was so tender it probably sang in a choir once. The grilled zucchini and hummus were equally great -- simple, bright, and clearly blessed by the olive oil gods. It's a little nicer than your usual order-at-the-counter spot -- like if Mount Olympus had a lunch counter. There's even a small bar with draft beer and wine in case Dionysus feels like clocking in. The space is bright, white, and airy -- very "temple of good vibes" energy. Service was friendly and helpful -- mortals doing the gods proud. The verdict: the deities are pleased, and humanity gets to keep existing for at least another meal.

    I was craving some hummus and decided to give this place a go! Holy moly yum!!! There is free parking but this is a very popular area, so it can be difficult. Walking in, the menu is huge in front of you! There is plenty on the menu, so I recommend reviewing it before you go in! The person who took my order and delivered my food was pleasant. The ambiance here is upscale mediterranean. The colors, pictures, olive branch's, evil eye and tv playing clips from Greece all transport you! As someone who has been to Greece, this was an awesome feeling! The food: get the hummus with spicy feta dip! The pita came out warm and the dip was so tasty!!!! I also got a shrimp gyro. I wouldn't say that's "authentic" Greek food but it was extremely tasty!! I sent pictures to my boyfriend and he was definitely jealous! I will be back soon!!

    Loved this place in Rochester and was so glad they opened in Maple Grove. I truly enjoy Mediterranean food and the gyro plate, chicken kabobs and all the side options like hummus and spicy fries or the delicious salads are a great lunch or dinner option in Maple Grove. Lunch options have been coming with a soda which is a sweet bonus in today's economy! Great staff and they are super helpful if you are new to this cuisine!

    My partner and I visited Nupa and ordered the gyro meat combo plate along with their soup special of the day (which we didn't receive), a steak kabob served with a Greek salad. The gyro meat combo plate was solid ~ meat was seasoned well and didn't feel too heavy (4/5). The Greek salad (3.5/5) was fresh and balanced the richness of the meal nicely (nothing fancy). But the real standout for us was the steak kabob (4.5/5)--possibly one of the most tender cuts I've had in a long time. Absolutely delicious. Yum. That said, the portion sizes felt a bit smaller for its price point which brought down the overall value for us. Still, we're happy to support a new, local small business trying to get its footing. The ambience was great. Clean space, neatly set tables, and thoughtful touches like house special herb and spice blends at each table for extra seasoning if you need it. Being a new restaurant, there are definitely some growing pains. Service was a bit backed up, and a few customers who ordered after us received their food before we did. The staff also seemed to be working out some internal systems, which caused delays and confusion--at one point, a staff member had to stop us from eating because the dish might've been for another table, and we also received the wrong soup (and couldn't be bothered to ask for a new one) All in all, we'd rate our experience a 3.5 out of 5, but we'll round up to 4 stars for the potential we see here. We're hopeful that with a little time and fine-tuning, this place will truly shine. Looking forward to giving it another shot soon!

    Spicy feta hummus and pita
    Abby R.

    What a gem in Maple Grove! Beautiful aesthetic in the dining area and the kitchen looked very clean. The food was all so fresh, perfectly prepared, and great portions for the price. Couldn't have asked for better, more enthusiastic and passionate service from Laney and Howe. We took Laney up on all of her recommendations and tried the spicy feta hummus, spanakopita, lamb kebab, falafel, lemon soup, baklava, affogato, and frappe. Would recommend all - especially the lamb, hummus, and the lemon soup. Pita came with everything and was perfectly soft and chewy. Will definitely be back next time we are in town!

    The service was phenomenal and all of the staff were terribly friendly and clean. The location was pretty busy but we were able to get a clean table and our appetizer was out within 5 minutes. They have fresh iced cucumber water on hand and fun mocktails if you want. Two adults were able to have a shared appetizer and meal with two sides for 53 bucks. We had it to go to take home and the whole experience was delicious. I will add that my partner had the lamb hero and I had the chicken gyro both of which had meat that was tender and pie cut.

    Counter where you order

    The restaurant has only been open for about two months, and is clean and bright. We were there around 6:30 on a Saturday evening. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Staff was very friendly and checked on us several times. My partner had the Gyro Meat Plate and Horiatiki salad and Avgolemeno (soup with a savory flavor-good). He said the meat was cold and greasy, like it had been cut a while ago, then reheated (but not heated enough). I had the half size Horiatiki Salad alone. There were too many green peppers and onions for my taste, but the dressing was good. It also came with warm pita. The half order was plenty of food for me. I had a glass of water which turned out to be cucumber water. I don't usually like cucumber water, but the flavor went really well with the meal so I did like it. The tzatziki sauce was really good, creamy and flavourful. They bus the tables, and they do it pretty quickly. We will likely be back.

    Tried Nupa for the first time today and let me tell you this place is beautiful. Opened just 2 months ago. My online order was ready on time and the employee packed my food with care. The food was hot and fresh and the price was on point for fast casual dining. Worth the stop.

    Calamari

    Staff were friendly and nice. They consistently checked up on us. Food was excellent. Nearly everything was made fresh and from scratch. Skewers, calamari, and fresh fries were our top picks. If you pay cash, you get free sodas and a small discount.

    Great new spot! The staff was helpful and checked on us several times. Menu has lots of options. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. I also appreciated that they are generous with their pita bread. It's so fresh you definitely want lots. I had a half Caprese salad and a steak kebab. My companion ordered a Gyro pita and french fries.. We also shared a hummus plate. Delicious. The place is clean and really cute. Oh, they also have a small bar. We'll be back.

    Nupa in Maple Grove is an absolute gem! From the fresh and flavorful food, to the super friendly staff, it's easily one of our new favorite restaurants! They have large windows for a good amount of natural light, comfortable seating and nice decor. The prices are very reasonable too!
