    Chicken shawarma bowl
    Emily S.

    Welcome to the neighborhood Qahwah Cafe! I tried this place for lunch and had a great experience. The interior of the restaurant is very classy yet this place has a more casual feel as you order at the counter. You can choose to have a wrap, bowl or other entree. The server was very helpful and enthusiastic about the food. He helped us decide between proteins and his suggestions were spot on! I tried the chicken shawarma bowl and added various toppings and picked the tzatziki sauce to top it off. The portion sizes are large and enough for leftovers. It was a pleasant surprise that the bowl came with a drink included. They have a few fresh juices to pick from and I went with the lemonade. They also have an enticing mango drink that I will have to try next time. The flavors were very fragrant and delicious. The chicken shawarma was tender and juicy. The rice was very flavorful and was a satisfying pairing. I would definitely get this again. Another member in my party had the chicken fantastic which has a curry flavor and is very saucy. A second member of our table got half beef suqaar and half chicken suqaar and both were tender and well seasoned. This new restaurant is a great place to try. Thanks for a great lunch Qahwah Cafe!

    Very charming Mediterranean restaurant with seating and take out. Fabulous assortment of entree food options as well as great deserts. 1st time family went and got dinner it was excellent! Got wrap and bowls all were very tasty and freshly prepared. Will be going back to try more options. Very friendly staff.

    Great neighborhood Mediterranean cafe. Modern, clean, high quality food at a reasonable price. Delicious Somali tea included with the meal.

    I love Beirut. It has quickly became one of my favorite local spots…read more It's great for both sit-down and takeout. Their online ordering system is super easy to use, and ordering in person is just as smooth. The menu has such a good variety, everything from fresh salads to wraps and kebab plates. Honestly, everything I've tried has been so good. The garlic sauce is a must, it's incredible. My go-to is the shawarma unwrapped because you get a huge portion and can build it exactly how you want. The food is fantastic and the portions are very generous. The space is clean with plenty of seating, and the staff is amazing. They're so friendly and always make sure you have everything you need.

    The restaurant was smaller than it looked from the outside - a handful of tables are a available,…read morebut I think during peak hours you might need to take your food to-go. Ambiance was ok - more of a diner style. Very casual. High chairs available, which was a plus for us. I got the gyro wrap and my husband got the Lebanese wrap ( not pictured). The gyro wrap was pretty good, and I loved the garlic sauce that it came with. However, the fries they came with were a bit on the soggier side - not crispy and not too much flavor. The Lebanese wrap had good flavor but it was smaller than my husband and I were expecting. It was probably half the size of my gyro wrap since it was thinner. My kids liked the grilled chicken place and rice that they had. The chicken had great flavor. The portions overall though are on the smaller side, especially when compared to restaurants in Minneapolis or St. Paul. Food was pretty good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I liked it overall though and thought it was a fun and different option to try in the south suburbs.

    Two important notes: 1) I saw a sign that said they are moving to Lyndale/84th in late 2025, and 2)…read moremake sure to get THE RIGHT DUBAI CHOCOLATE. More on that below. This is a Greek/Mediterranean takeout place with a decent amount of seating and some appropriate grocery items. Really nice people working here. I got the Mediterranean Platter which was full of very perfectly-cooked meats and rice, salad with very fresh veggies, a Greek dressing ant tzatziki. The latter two were EXCELLENT, really creamy tzatziki and really flavorful Greek vinaigrette. A lot of food. Not cheap, but I'd say normally-priced. I've also gotten their house-made Dubai Chocolate. It is the best Dubai Chocolate I've ever had. BUT! Get the stuff from the case that they make, not the packaged bars on the counter. The latter is mediocre, but the stuff they make, the stuff in the case, you guys. YOU GUYS. That is why this is a five-star review.

    Ya'll I was not expecting this. This unassuming little place specializes in Mediterranean food and…read morethey also have a small shop where you can pick up any related International groceries. I honestly barely noticed because the smell of yummy foods hit me as soon as I got inside. I think they do most of their business as take-out or pick up, but we actually took advantage of the small dining area attached. The service is nothing fancy- order at the counter and they'll bring it to you. But ya'll- the food! It was really some of the best Mediterranean food I have had since moving to the cities. That hummus -as the kids say- SLAPS! It had a little spicy topping on it and they served it with warm pita breads. I ordered a gyros platter and it came with enough rice to feed a crowd! Even the salad was delicious. I told my husband right away- this is 5 stars.
