Wonderful hummus and pita, can be crowded..
The buffet is a good value--excellent pita and hummus too. Plated orders can be a bit pricey. I ordered a falafel sandwich and it was >$7 for just the sandwich (no sides). Have gone a few times and
it can get crowded. The parking lot is in the back but it's really cramped and tough to maneuver, especially in the snow. Better to just park on the street if you can. Sometimes it's packed for dinner--possible that I just came during Ramadan and it was not the norm.
Would recommend for people who would like to try middle eastern food, but be aware the service is pretty minimal and it can be crowded.…
They keep forgetting my sauce!. The first time I went to Holy Land, I had one of the chicken sandwiches with both cucumber and hot sauce, and it was really good. The sauces really made the sandwich for me. I've gone back 3 more times and ordered the same thing, and all 3 times they've forgotten the sauce. They type it in the computer when I order (and charge me for the "extra" sauce, I think), and every time, no sauce. Shame on me for forgetting to check at this point, but it makes me really angry. Without the hot sauce to excite my taste buds, the chicken is bland. Overall, Holy Land is cheap and you get a lot of food, but every time I go there I'm increasingly disappointed.…
Find all Middle-Eastern ingredients you need.
I grew up in Lebanon and have always struggled to find the proper ingredients to cook Lebanese food, until I visited this grocery store. I finally found Labneh, Jallab syrup, fresh Lebanese cheeses
like Baladi and even Kri-kri! All perishable foods are fresh and there is a great selection. I did not have a chance to taste the cafe foods but was very happy to find fresh Khobez and even Italian pastries.
Highly recommended!…
My ex-favorite restaurant (Marina is way better).
I used to like Holy Land, but then I tried Marina Grill (4755 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis)/ Marina Grill & Deli (2424 University Ave NE, Minneapolis). The former chef of Holy Land started Marina and
so now Holy Land doesn't even come close. Marina has an excellent buffet with excellent choices, not the nasty one like Holy Land.
Marina has larger space, more food options, better hummus/grape leaves/spinach pies/falafel/gyro/etc, friendlier service. Also, Marina's catering is cheaper and much better than Holy Land's. Holy Land's food used to be good, but now I have heard of so many people getting sick from it. Majdi is buying apartments in an attempt to make money because his restaurant is not as good as it used to be. It's outright gross now.…
Holy Land- it should be called Holy Mother Load!.
This place is great! The grocery store has a wide selection. The produce is fresh, the olive & feta deli are amazing, the breadth of choices for all the various types of pita etc are amazing! The
restaurant next store is really good, fresh, and the buffet is also good!
Hummus, Feta, Olives, can't be beat!…
