Jon M. • August 19, 2014Delicious, #locallysourced dishes prepared with a blend of southern and Latin American influences. The yucca fries are to not to be missed. I would bathe in their cilantro lime aioli.

Chris R. • November 28, 2018All of the pizzas are fantastic!

City Pages • January 4, 2013One of the best post-hoilday eats! Gorkha makes it known that they use organic milk, butter, and cheeses, and if you do order something with chicken or lamb, it's often from a local farmer.

Paul H. • September 29, 2020Significant other indulged for my birthday and purchased the chef’s table with wine pairings. Extremely beautiful atmosphere with the attached hotel and cafe. Food and wine: INSANE!

Megan • January 31, 2012Chocolate chip cookie & rooibos tea is a great afternoon snack.

Richard B. • February 23, 2017Try the pour over coffee, since they roast it right here. Also you can buy coffee by the pound - nothing beats fresh locally roasted coffee ground right before brewing.

Rawnaq G. • March 21, 2012Their rice is cooked perfectly! And they have a homemade buttermilk drink that's delicious. And the rosewater & saffron ice cream is to die for.

Dr. H. • March 1, 2017What isn't good here nothing yet. Go outside your comfort zone and sample some of the sides in the case many are better warmed which contain rice or lentils. Tahini is very garlicky and tasty!

Claire G. • January 16, 2022Service, atmosphere and great food. The Brussels Sprouts and mussels were fantastic!

Ricky D. • November 6, 2016Amazing place, amazing quality. Ask what the special is because it will be delicious and then get some jumbo crispy shrimp with radish noodles too. Go with people and remember that sharing is caring.

Chee Yi O. • May 27, 2015MUST try the Toto which has goat cheese, thin slices of garlic and arugula. If you've been living with the lie that is greasy American pizza for your whole life, Neapolitan pizza will blow your mind.

Steve N. • March 8, 2018Burgers, wings and tots are great. Had the all you can eat fish last Friday and the fish tasted like deep fried pickles!! And yes, the deep fried green beans were tasteless. Good atmosphere and beer

Mongkol T. • February 28, 2015Possibly the best Ethiopian restaurant in town -- although the service can be a bit on the slow side. Otherwise, it is a great place for some authentic Ethiopian deliciousness and experience.

Andrew C. • August 24, 2016One of the best döner kebabs I've had in the US. This place has a great vibe, a super cool look, speedy wifi and good food.

Amruta B. • March 9, 2015The place is tiny so avoid peak hours. Other than that, the food very cheap ($10) and yummy! My favorite on the menu are the tofu-seaweed soup and bibimbap ☺️

Tyler S. • August 13, 2018Possibly the best chicken and waffle in the twin cities and awesome burgers.
