Reviews for Ansari's Mediterranean Grill & Lounge in Eagan, MN

The food was full of flavor. Im Middle Eastern and tend to be critical. It was a little on the greesy side but good. Our server... was kind, tentative and always checking in refilling drinks. She was ahead of anything you needed. The atmosphere is interestingbecause one side feels middle eastern and the other seems like a dive bar. I would recommend the lebannon platter. And the kinggyro wrap! Read more

It's our second time at Ansari's and we just love their Shawarma and Gyros. This time I ordered chicken shawarma and my husband... the beef gyro. In addition, we got the italian fries and the dolma. The service was really good and our waitress knew the menuand what goes with what. The food was very flavorful, the drinks were great (I had a mojito). Prices were fair and we will beback for sure. Such a great place when you feeling like earing mediterranean food. Read more

We got the lamb kabob plate and chicken kabob plate. Very nice portions. The food was so tender and flavorful. Everything was... very tasty. The staff was super nice. There weren't a lot of people, we arrived right at 11 when it opened, but more arrived aswe ate. I can see this place being really popular they have good happy hour deals, and a nice stage for music or events. Theyhave belly dancing Fridays and Saturdays. Read more

What a pleasant surprise! Wanted to have a date night on a Friday and found this place on open table. The food was delicious! We... had the tour of Jerusalem, the steak humus, and this cheese they flambe which I am forgetting the name of haha. Everything wasgreat. Highly recommend also that you sit on their patio outside if you get the chance. Will definitely be back! Read more

I want to start off by saying there are thing to like about this business....like....It looks to be a FAMILY RUN BUSINESS!!!... (Big plus for me!!!!) The staff was very friendly! They have a lot of beers in tap! And some of the food was very good! I am notnormally a "buffet" guy...but a family member picked it for "Mother's day brunch"...and the buffet was....ok....They had somesauteed vegetables that were amazing! The food was always stocked and was to temp....but there were some shortfalls thatbothered me..... I am not sure how much of the food was made from scratch....the pita bread had to have been "storebought"....and the gyro meat looked to have been boxed meat they finished on a grill? Both in my opinion huge "no-no's" whenservings Mediterranean food! If you don't have a vertical rotisserie....you are not a Mediterranean restaurant! The meat wasfine....but they didn't even have tomatoes to accompany the meat....(maybe a supply issue? In this market it could havebeen....) The kabobs looked to be from scratch but were VERY salty! There was some "American food" options as well(eggs...bacon.... cheese hash browns) and I had SMALL portions of them just to get a taste....and they were fine....Finally...there was the bill....we knew the price before hand...and understand that for "Mother's Day" the price may beinflated...but when our bill came....they added 20% for a required tip as we had six people at our table! 20% for a buffet? Onalready inflated prices? Our service was fine....and I know there are plenty of restaurants fighting to stay in business....but20% required tip for a buffet is just not right..... Who knows....we may be back...the food was overall....good! People at ourtable stated they enjoyed it....but I will pay close attention to what I order asking questions like "is this made from scratchin house?"...when we go....and how many we have in our group....

Amazing food! Good service. Nice atmosphere and fun music in the background. Full bar and they have Lift Bridge Root beer in... the can. Will have to come back and see the belly dancing the menu says is on Friday and Saturday. If you don't likeMediterranean like some of our party there are wraps, pizza and burgers. The Chicken Shawarma was everyone's favorite. The lambwas great too! Read more
