Fresh pita! There’s a dedicated deli for olives, feta, and more marinated veggies. Grab a shopping basket and fill it up with hummus-choose from many varieties like garlicy, red pepper, or guacamole. Holy Land sells pita chips too, so good with the hummus! Everything you need to make a fresh tasty meal is here, including a halal butcher and produce section. Pick up some baklava or my favorite, homemade Honey Cake! No time for cooking your own dinner? Just step over to the restaurant and eat in or take out. Holy Land’s menu has something for everyone.

By far the best Arab-Market in town. Food is fresh and top notch. The customer service is 100 percent. You need to try there Saffron the brand is (MILI AFGHAN SAFFRON). product of Afghanistan best quality in the world. By far since I have tried a lot of Saffron from different countries but this brand is the best. 10/10

Great customer service. Had a very large order placed at the last minute and they had it ready less than an hour after opening! I highly recommend these guys.

Not sure how well they clean their facilities or how often they replace their furnace filters.Reason being, when looking towards the windows in the sunlight, i can clearly see a flurry of dust particles pouring into the restaurant area. There is sooooo much dust in the air here, more than I've seen anywhere else. Looks like a blizzard of particles in the air.The food is great, but not sure I'd spend more than 5 minutes in here again. It could be that they dont clean above their drop-ceiling either.

The Gold Standard for all things Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food. Exceptional food made in house and very good quality across the board. Very good hummus and breads. Exceptional Persian lamb kebabs. Great salads. Very reasonable prices and a curb side service model that is highly efficient. My mottos is “if you’re going to do something, nail it.” And Holy Land nailed it on pretty much all points. Highly Recommended

Excellent reasonably priced food! The chicken shawarma & hummus were delicious. As a bonus, they have a grocery store too!

Ordered takeout online, super impressed with the quantity and quality. Ended up feeling the shareable meat platter, roasted veggie dinner, and grape leaves. Fed 6 adults and still had leftovers.

Food was well made, flavorful, and good quality. Staff was not very welcoming or helpful when trying to decide what to order. They didn't acknowledge we were there or ask if we had any questions. This was my first time eating this cuisine so it would have been nice to have had help as the menu is huge and very overwhelming. Once we got our food the woman cleaning the tables and bringing us the food was very pleasant and welcoming. Wish we would have had that experience when we were ordering. Overall, the food is good but the customer service needs a lot of work.

Legendary food, quality, and service. I had not been back since the remodel until today, and was blown away by how much the place has changed since its humble beginnings. A veritable treasure trove of Mediterranean cuisine—the best of the best. Prices are very reasonable, and the staff are knowledgable and welcoming. There is a whole glow about the place. Fitting that it’s called Holy Land.

I have loved the food at Holy Land for 20+ years. I lived nearby when I was in college and still do. I used to frequent the restaurant for cheap eats and it was always really good. Could usually squeeze 2 meals out of a single order. I go there quite a bit less often than I did back then. The food is still good but the prices are really getting to be very high. I went there for lunch and had a Falafel sandwich with fries and a drink. It was $20 including a $3 tip. It was a large serving but nothing out of the ordinary. It will be some time before I am going to go back. $20 for a weekday lunch is just too much.

They have the best wood rotisserie chicken, I never disappointed with the foot, it is always awesome, every time I come here I have friendly smiles and great service, if you like to enjoy Mediterranean food look no more, Holy Land is the place to go. They also have an amazing grocery store where you can find fresh olives on variety of flavors, fresh vegetables and fruits, fresh feta cheese and meats.My favorite place to go. 😍👌

Such a great selection in the grocery side. I especially like the mejool dates, olives, feta cheeses and pita breads, really fresh and reasonably priced! The restaurant has a extensive menu of middle Eastern and a few American favorites. Portions are generous and everyone there was very helpful and friendly. My falafel salad was freshly made and tasty.

I highly recommend this place. I've been meaning to visit for awhile and now I feel like I've been missing out! If you like chicken, get the rotisserie chicken meal! The chicken is so tender and very flavorful! I will be coming back and bringing all my friends and family!

Holy Land is one of my favorite places to shop (and dine!) in the Twin Cities. Best values and selection anywhere for olive oils, rice, baked items, OLIVES, spices and ingredients for Middle Eastern foods. Highly recommended!

Only the Best at Holy Land! The food is sooooo yummy. My absolute favorite is the falafal. The feast for four is our favorite. We will be enjoying our second dinner later this week!

Holy Land catered our wedding and it was FANTASTIC! Lianne met with us to decide our menu, was super flexible on changes to guest count, and was amazing with our desire to have a low-waste event. The catering staff was super professional, were very responsive, and did a great job collecting waste for compost versus recycling. Our guests LOVED the food! It was delicious! Also, great flexibility for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free guests! Couldn't recommend a caterer more strongly!!!

Holy land is amazing. I’m sure most of us can really verify that their food is truly amazing and a treat. The workers are nice, and many families come down to eat here. I would give it a five star, but the only thing that isn’t amazing is the price. Most likely due to the expensive cost of food, families don’t come here as often. It’s like a once in a while kind of place. The food is 5/5 Though, but that’s the only set back. Other than that, Amazing!

A place like this needs to have an absolutely phenomenal falafel, and wow, do they fall short.The falafel is not fresh. They appear to fry them in batches, and then when someone orders one they smash or cut them in half and heat them up. Not fresh. Bland. Sandwich comes with lettuce and a wrap that breaks in half (also not fresh). Served with their awful sauce packets (get rid of the wasteful packets when people are dining in). Used to do better. Should try to improve.

I think some costumers could use a less gendered language from the staff (being called brother/sister). As an Arab trans who grew up eating this heritage food I’m saddened that I don’t feel comfortable there due to being constantly misgendered.

We had dinner at Holyland and it was excellent. An employee welcomed us and gave us tips on what to order since we were newcomers. I am vegetarian, and I really like the entree he recommended for me. Portion sizes were large, and our meals came with drinks and desserts, including an extra surprise piece of cake an employee brought us from the kitchen that was super delicious. We have enough leftovers for a second meal. Great place, glad we checked it out.

A wonderful store & restaurant! The meats are well cooked, with amazing rice to go with it. The pita is fluffy, buttery, and fresh, so combining it with hummus is delicious. The falafel is available for vegetarians, and it is simply WONDERFUL. It goes well with hummus, as do most good things on earth. The employees are very kind and understanding! The service is great! The store part is really interesting, with diverse selections of anything from tea, to meat, to exotic sodas. The entire space is very open, inviting, and has a mouth-watering aroma. A tasty, remarkable trip for everyone!

When we moved out to the suburbs a few years ago this is one of my favorite neighborhood places I miss the most. We use to go every weekend for groceries. They have some of the cleanest and tastyest lamb. Were in the neighborhood again recently and stopped by to get some goodies, including some African breads.

Love Holy Land! The food is authentic and delicious. The servers and staff were attentive, kind and genuine. I only wish they sold lamb on a stick like they do at the fair. Everything on the menu is great! Buy homemade hummus in the store.

Huge selection of Middle Eastern groceries and consistently good food at the restaurant attached. Guy Fieri visited here a couple years ago so you know it has to be good! Open 365 days a year. Holy Land Hummus is the best hummus I've ever tasted. The figs they sell are second-to-none as well!

Awesome food. Highly recommend. The beef, lamb, chicken platter tasted delicious and the side salad was also good. The place was packed, but I was able to order and get my food right away. The service was good even though you order at counter and they bring you your food. Good place to watch football. They have their own parking lot.

The store has a very good selection of halal foods and meats. The prices are a bit high, and there have been a few times we've bought packaged sandwich meat which turned out to be slimy and expired. It was the only shop that carried certain halal sausages that I liked, but they're not stocked anymore. I would love to see more western style halal foods. As a convert, I sometimes crave some foods I can no longer eat.

I really can't say enough about this place. In fact, my wife and I like their food so much we had them cater our wedding. Everybody raved about the food. The Kufta is particularly good.

Questions & Answers

This place has foods and other goods from mostly middle east region.

They have everything you need

I stopped by to ask them on my way home. They do not bake cakes, but you might try "football pizza" a few blocks South, which does have a bakery in house, and is Muslim-owned and operated.

Hours

No

You should call and ask

This location doesn't have buffet.

All our meat that we use at our restaurant is Halal-Zabiha and we will be more than happy to provide with all the certificates , invoices & sources for our meat ..

Talking to the owner, they used to have a larger national distribution but got pushed out by Sabra, which is too bad, since Holy Land hummus is waaaaay better. As mentioned above, still can be found in grocery stores in and around Minnesota.
