Daily Cairo Grill

Yep this is one of those come back time and again, an African "Cheers" kinda lunch hall spot. That is if you're into East African deli food. It's awesome, and beats many of the choices around this part of town. I usually get the $6 lunch special with goat meat, rice, and salad. It's a crazy amount of food for $6. The goat meat is amazing with all the yummy spices, rice is seasoned and moist, and the "salad" is just cut iceberg served with a wedge of lime. If you like spicy, there is NOTHING like "African Hot" in my book. Their pepper sauce, which is green in color, is killer, and a great complement to the meat and rice. A friend once called it "devil's snot." It certainly clears out your sinuses! LOL. If you're adventurous eat in and get the all you can drink mango juice. If you're in a hurry or need to eat in the car, they have the street food selections: Sambusas, fried bread, crepes. It's all very inexpensive stuff and yummy. Just know it's like going to the lunch room with a grumpy and VERY hurried lunch man behind the counter and have your money in hand and KNOW what you want. Yes, it's in the HOOD. Do yourself a favor and park on the street, as the crazy cabbies coming in and out of this place will put the fear of God in you and for your car in how they navigate this tiny little lot that's always way too busy.

Menu board is a bit confusing - there were a few items that looked the same but the cashier just read the title of the dishes to me when I asked the difference.... "OKI guess i'll just get the goat and rice platter!"It was fantastic - meat was tender and fall-off-the-bone, spiced well with hot fluffy rice. Mango juice was pretty sweet but nice refresher on a hot summer day. Banana was perfectly ripe. My only complaint is that they still use styrofoam.

super good had the lamb gyro and recommend it! great restaurant and awesome indoor dining lounge

It's the Sambusa that I come here for, Best in Minneapolis. They are cheaper than anywhere else plus it's hot and spicy all the time. The long queue doesn't mean a long wait time, flies fast.

I went from hooked to addict after my second visit to this hole in the wall 10 years ago.It was the Sambusa that keeps me coming back.I saw staff come and go while the non-existent decor slip south. I live and went as the staff went form owner/operator 5 star courtesy to rude-care-less-we-don't-have-time-for-your-additional-instructions, to good and acceptable again.

Best sambusa in the whole wide world! If anyone knows any other establishment that has better sambusa in this city or state, please let me know. And to the weird, old, uncultured Anglo man who said he was asked about his religion: please don't go back there; I don't think they serve bigots there. I can almost guarantee it! Maybe you should stick to eating cheeseburgers and extra large fries. This is the type of creepy bigots that give the good yt ppl a bad name.

The ambiance is dirty, and things are all over the place. They don't care about the customer service, and the food used to be great, but it has went down hill Dramatically.

The food here is fantastic! It's not really a sit down place. Fantastic goat and rice and sambusa. Service is quick and friendly (I'm a white guy and find the other "white guy" review highly suspect.) my kids loved the rice and chicken legs.

best place ever the Sambuso the customer service and the employees there all very great people kind but the restaurant is not esthetic nad needs new better improved furniture

Best Sambusa in town! I lived in MPLS for a long time and I have never been anywhere else that has better sambusa. I live in St Paul and I drive all the way to get their Sambusa. I also get it for every work celebration and every school event for my kids. I highly recommend their sambusa. It's very busy during Ramadan but they are fast. I wish they created a pick-up orders option. Thank you for the delicious Sambusa! Mahadsanidiin Dhamaan
