I used to work across the road from this business, didn't ever eat there until my coworkers shamed meFor bringing lunch from home. I have since moved to other work location, but whenever I can squeeze a stop at Zakia either to or from the Airport or if other excuses to stop by, I always get the gyro, stuffed grape leaves, and occasionally the falafel. I ask for extra tahini sauce too. The vegetables are always fresh and the food is lights out amazing. I wish there was phenomenal food like Zakia up in Coon Rapids, we still have a food desert compared to other places. But nothing can hold a candle to Zakia, David is a great guy, stop by and share some love with my Fave food stop! P.S. Don't worry if there is a line, you will not be disappointed and they move through pretty efficiently.

There is actually a lot of seating in a relatively small space, and when it's nice out, there are also abundant outdoor options. The parking lot is right in front, so parking is easy. I had a greek salad with lamb, and it was really well priced (about $9). There is usually a line around lunch time, but don't be discouraged, it moves quickly. There is a line because it's always such a popular lunch spot! Value and deliciousness! The rotating hot offerings are always tempting, and I love their cold salads. The Eggplant and the Zakia salad in particular.

Nice to discover more good Lebanese food in NE Minneapolis. Zakia Deli passes the "aromas like in my Auntie Rose's (Armenian) kitchen" test. Service is cafeteria style but with attention to presentation as you can see on my gorgeous falafel plate. There are small tables and high table seating inside and some outside, Prices are very reasonable , especially for the good sized portions. The falafel are bigger and less peppery than some others I've had, relying on more subtle flavors.

Huge fan of Zakia deli! Just wish they were open a little later so I could more regularly go for dinner. Zakia deli is an awesome Lebanese restaurant serving a wide variety of Mediterranean and American fare.The workers in this place are great and their platters are a crazy good deal. I got the Beef-Lamb Gyro Special plate and as my two sides, the guys let me get falafel and Beef Grape leaves. It all cost me under $15 and every last bite was delicious. This place is a nice family style shop that I could easily see myself coming to weekly.All of the food here looks absolutely delicious and is incredibly affordable, I need to come back already!

Wow this was delicious and for a great value! Was able to order upon entering and decided on each of the Wednesday specials. The workers were friendly and helpful in taking my order and recommending sides. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside. The lamb shank was fall/off-the-bone tender, and the sauce with rice was a great combo! The chicken was also delicious -- the acidity provided both flavor and tenderness that the meat could be cut with a (plastic) fork! Tried 2 sides on each plate -- potato wedges, falafel, meat pie, and stuffed grape leaf (with meat). Loved. Them. All!! Definitely will be back for more!

It's hard for me to review this cuisine because I'm so unfamiliar. Overall, I enjoyed the adventure but I didn't taste anything that I'd love to repeatedly come back for.I ordered everything per their recommendation, but it felt all I was given was tons of appetizer like things. It didn't feel like a meal. It also was difficult to order because mix and matching things proved difficult when the cuisine wasn't familiar.

Stopped by here for lunch. Been on my list for a while. Quaint little place. Has a parking lot. Was busy even though they had just opened and while I was there, there was a constant stream of people coming in to get lunch or order takeout.They were helpful and friendly at the counter and happy to oblige to requests.I ordered the lamb shank (which was their special for the day) with a meat pie and grape leaves stuffed with meat an rice. The quantity was good. The meat pie was a little dry. They warmed up the meat pie and the grape leaves. The warm grape leaves rolls was new for me. I have always had them cold. The lamb was tender. I did find the food to be a little on the bland side. Good value for money and a good clean lunch spot. I would give it another try and try some of their other dishes. But for now, Emily's is still my go to for lebanese food and Caspian Bistro has the best Mediterranean style lamb shank in my opinion.

BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD!I was lucky enough to have tried Zakia and Asad's cooking when they were at a previous location. I'm so happy that their family has carried on their legendary cooking. It tastes just how I remember it! My favorites are the cabbage rolls and stuffed grape leaves! Anytime I'm in state I'll be sure to visit again. Much love and wishing you all the best-little Gabi

A small, quaint restaurant in north Minneapolis, this place is absolutely worth the drive. I got the beef/lamb gyro with cucumber sauce (which was to die for), my friend got a falafel sandwich with tajin sauce, an eggplant salad and rice. *chef's kissWe sat outside on a picnic table to eat under a "grass roof" umbrella and just had a fantastic lunch. I will absolutely come back!It superseded my expectations.

Delicious! We ordered for take-out and it was tasty. I ordered the lamb Wednesday special which was so delicious. My partner got the chicken plate and loved it. Lots of good food for a good price.
