Reviews for Afandina Cafe in Columbia Heights, MN
Superb food ? get the chicken shawarma plate, appetizer combo, and finish with a cup of minty black tea and kanafe (hot sweet... cheese topped with crispy glazed noodles). One of the top three Mediterranean restaurants in Twin Cities, no question. Read more
My mom & I went today to get shish kabob. There was an issue with the east tenderness because of the meat that came to them not... because of their cooking. I talked to the team and they handled it very very well. The chef himself came and talked to us andexplained that it was an issue in the meat patch they received. They brought us two new dishes that were excellent and gave usfree dessert and hummus and made sure we really left satisfied with our food. Highly recommend!! Read more
One of the best Mediterranean restaurants I have been in Minneapolis. Really loved the afandina mixed grill. Falafel was really... great too Read more
Finally got around to dining here and it was delicious. The ambience was vibrant and welcoming. I left full and happy. The... kanafeh dessert really stood out here. Sweet, nutty, cheesy, crispy, and syrupy, it followed the savory mediterranean dishes weordered perfectly. The ambience also stood out here. Clean, bright, and lined with colorful tapestries, the interior felt cozyand authentic. The outdoor patio was a gorgeous place to have our meal and really added a lively quality to the experience. Onecritique is that they did not interpret our request for no nuts in the kanafeh correctly at first. However, when it arrived andwe re-explained the allergy situation, they corrected the mistake for free. My second critique is that plasticware is given evenfor customers dining in; this includes plastic plates, serving spoons, and silverware. They may be saving costs this way, butreal dishware and silverware would be preferred. All in all though, Afandina hit the mark with presentation and ambience. Itwas a memorable dining experience and a great place to get dinner with friends. Read more

Delicious food with a good portion and reasonable price! The fries were amazing, the gyros are delicious, and the workers are... friendly. Well my favorite is the shawarma :) The outdoor seating still needs improvement but it?s good enough for now. Overall,we love it and will definitely come back! Read more
