I haven't been here in 8 years since my last review (I moved out of state). When I came back and ended up in MPLS, I had to stop by Afro Deli for my favs. I for the beef sambusas, chicken and steak entrees. All of them were fantastic as usual. I had craved these dishes for years! I highly recommend coming here.

Been following Afro since their original location. My son worked there during college and 10 years later had them cater his rehearsal dinner! Amazing food, flavorful, healthy and vegetarian options too!My go to's: Chicken Fantastic and the Sambusas (veggie with lentils). Just right!!

We had a convention in the area and were on our way home. We got there around 3 and there was a parking spot right out front. Sadly the AC was seriously lacking. We shared the hummus and pita. I loved this style more loose than solid. Great flavor. I always get a sambusa. Fried just right. The green sauce is too spicy for me so I dipped in tziziki sauce, just perfect. I had a bite of Basil's falafel and they smother it in tziziki. It's as delicious as it looks. I thought I'd need a salad, nope too full so I had it for a later dinner at home. I like the new fashioned soda machines. Basil got a strawberry fruit juice. Funny we never got around to ordering dessert. Zacharia took great care of us at the counter. Between the hummus and falafel I think we went through 20 napkins.

Ate in and had the veggie plate. It was delicious, especially green sauce, hummus abd tzatziki. There is a lot of plastic that is used in the meal.

Came here on a Friday for a late lunch around 2:30pm. It's a colorful space with a ton of seating.I got the 3-piece Chicken Sambusa and a large order of fries to share. I had heard rave reviews of the fries and they didn't disappoint. They're perfectly crispy and served fresh. The sambusa was also terrific, with a crispy shell and flavorful fillings.If you need to use the restroom, you have to ask an employee for the keys to the restroom located in the same building as the restaurant, but down the hall.I would definitely come back and try out more of the menu!

I've been a fan for years now and I've always loved the food but I must say I'm disappointed in today's order. I paid extra for a sauce and it was not included I was also disappointed to see that they didn't include fries with my order. I'm not sure if things have changed since my last visit but there were fries always included in the order and if they did in fact change it to just sandwich that's unfortunate.

I've been to a couple of their other locations and I think this is a really cool local chain! I don't know much about African cuisine, but I'm pretty sure the entrees on the menu here are creative concoctions inspired by African dishes but greatly informed by recipies from around the world. Every time I've been to any of their locations, I've made sure to get beef Sambusas, which make a great side or standalone snack; they are REALLY flavorful. The Chicken Fantastic is a popular entree for good reason, it tastes really really good and is a very fun combinations of flavors. They also have great, simple sides like fries, falafel, and chicken wings. The entrees come in two sizes; for me, the smaller size is big enough, but leaves me room for a couple of Sambusas!I learned a couple of years ago that this company is extremely involved in the community and gives generously to causes that help the needy locally and abroad. I really like knowing that, however, my guess is that most of their repeat customers are not aware of their generosity, and just really like this delicious food!

New Afro Deli location! The food was excellent and the staff was super friendly. The owner checked in with us to see how we were liking things and thanked us for stopping in. I really liked the vegetable Sambusa!! Looking forward to trying other dishes here in the future!

I was pleasantly surprised by Afro Deli and Grill. I've been to a few different African food serving restaurants before. I like AD&G they were staffed by seemingly Africans. AD&G was not. But the food had a lot of flavor and was the perfect temperature. I had the best sweet plantains. The food seemed very authentic and came out fast.
