In Short – Belly dancers greet happy-go-lucky guests at this intimate Mediterranean cafe, which casts a party vibe with lively music and colorful decor. The eclectic menu includes lots of Greek and Middle Eastern dishes, including salads with feta and olives, spanakopita, moussaka, gyros, lamb shanks and beef kebabs. The restaurant also serves American standbys including steaks, burgers and fries. Vegetarian diners will find plenty to fill them, as the menu is chock-full of meat-free options--from falafel to vegetarian stir-fry.

VERY DISAPPOINTING SERVICE
by Nish2 at Citysearch
I was very disappointed with the service my friend and I received. In particular with "Israel" who acted like the customer is a bother. First, we asked for help regarding the food we were going to order, to which we got a flat "...a kabob is a Kabob..." Israel needs to realise we all do not belong to the same culture and may not be familiar with the food, but are willing to try different cuisines hence going to the restaurant. We had to keep sermoning for him to get our order, even though there was a total of 4 customers in the place. After waiting almost 40 minutes for 1 main course, we Inquired what was taking so long to which Israel replied " do you want your meat cooked or raw...so wait for it to be cooked." Shortly after, he brought the order and pushed it infront of me and stomped off, while there were so many dishes from our appetizers/mint tea all over the table. My friend and I had to clear the dishes and put them on another table to create room to eat. As for the food: chicken kabobs were overly salty and the basmati rice was over done the salad was average. I would not recommend this place!!!!

Fantastic Lunch Buffet!
by ddtundra at Citysearch
A group of my co-workers and I came for their lunch buffet and belly dancing last Friday and we were more than impressed! Their buffet is pretty extensive with a couple different salads and soups. A lot of what you would order on their menu was featured in their buffet such as the hummus, falafil, spinach pies, kabobs, gyros. They had moussaka that day, which I love! Oh, and there was lamb shank! yum! We were all so happy with the choices they had and the price was amazing! We also were able to enjoy the belly dancing! Fantastic! Love the Cruise!

Always Great- Awesome food and top service
by DHolm at Citysearch
My wife and I have been going to the Mediterranean Cruise for years. It is one of our favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities. Every time we dine there, they never disappoint. The food is always so delicious and great. We have probably tried just about everything on their extensive menu, but I really love their shrimp Casablanca- a shrimp stir-fry with mushrooms, onions, pine nuts over rice. My wife is in love with their lamb rack and shrimp kabobs. We almost never skip a dinner there without hummos and the flamming cheese! So good. But it is Jamal and the staff that always keeps us coming. We are always treated like family. Great place all around.

Great Place
by Topsik at Citysearch
This place is Great!!! We being going here since they moved to this new location. Everyone who works there are very friendly and they always make time to stop by to talk to you and see how are you and if you need anything else on your table.
Food is delicious. Shiskabob is the best (beef). Doesn't matter what you try on their menu you are not gonna be disappointed.
Come on Friday night or Saturday night and you will have fun for sure. Number 1 place to be at with your friends/family.
There is no words. You guys are the best!!!

Perfect Date Night!
by JulieJJ at Citysearch
Came in for the first time to the Mediterranean Cruise Cafe last night. Had a Blast! My husband and I wanted to be a little more adventurous for date night and the Mediterranean Cruise Cafe seemed like the perfect choice. No regrets there! The food was great! We wanted to try a variety of their food, so the waiter suggested the supper appetizers for two. LOTS OF FOOD! Gyros, falafil, hommos, grapeleaves, the flaming cheese, spinach pies, greek salads, a parsley and mint salad. It was fabulous! We also were lucky to have caught a belly dancing show. How fun! I even got my husband to get up on stage with me and try some moves! We had the best time!
