Christos Greek Restaurant · Whittier
Christos has served Greek and Cypriot cooking on Eat Street since 1988. Lavraki, grape leaves, avgolemono, and generous combination plates connect the dining room to owner Gus Parpas's family history. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine's 2026 feature treats the restaurant as a living neighborhood institution shaped by decades of regulars and family hospitality.
Spicy Feta · St. Anthony Park
Spicy Feta carries a fast casual Mediterranean menu of doner, shawarma, gyros, bowls, salads, and wraps. The University Avenue shop is the flagship choice from a small local operation. Minnesota Star Tribune reporting documented the ownership change and the restaurant's halal Mediterranean direction when it replaced the Naughty Greek identity.
Baba's Hummus House & Mana'eesh Bakery · Whittier
Baba's grew from a family hummus business into a colorful Lyndale Avenue restaurant. Creamy hummus plates remain central, joined by falafel, shawarma, bowls, flatbreads, and bright vegetable sides. Minnesota Star Tribune features have covered both the restaurant opening and the careful hummus that anchors its Palestinian American menu.
Zakia Deli · Northeast
Zakia Deli serves Lebanese and broader Mediterranean food from a family run Northeast counter. Shawarma, kibbeh, spinach pies, stuffed grape leaves, and daily specials reward a cafeteria style visit. A current Minnesota Star Tribune feature maps out an order while documenting the family history and cooking behind the longstanding deli.
