My new favorite place for linch. They are open to 7 so you stll have time to pick up dinner. Steak sandwich and chicken curry are exceptional. Staff are super friendly.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Great prices and portions. We tried the hummus and pita bread, beef sambusas, gyro and the wrap. All of it was full of flavor and made fresh. My new favorite place downtown

I've only eaten here once (and never at the Minneapolis location, which looks pretty popular) but the food was good, affordable, fast and friendly. Give it a try.

Cool little place. I was in town visiting and stumbled on this near st Joseph hospital in downtown St. Paul. You order at the counter. Really liked the lamb gyro.

I'd been watching for this place to open for months. Yesterday it opened. I think I might have been the first customer. I had the Chicken Fantastic and Ethiopian coffee. The chicken was hot, fresh and quick as well as appealing to the eye. The coffee was rich and hot, great for the snowy day we had yesterday. I'll be back.

Any day that I can make it over for lunch at Afro Deli is a good day. The Chicken Fantastic isn't just a clever name... it really is deliciously fantastic. It's comfort food at its best. I buy the Large size and enjoy the leftovers for multiple lunches! I'm also crazy in love with the sweet plantains. Treat yourself to a tasty dessert! Every time I come in here, I'm greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. I really appreciate that.

Great service! I identified myself as a 1st time visitor, and the woman at the counter gave a few recommendations and an overview. I was there during off hours (2:30pm), so it was slow enough to have a conversation at the counter. I wanted to try a few things since I'm not local; it could be a while before I'm back. I ordered 1 beef sambusa, 1 veggie sambusa, baklava, and then asked her to choose for me from 3 options: Somali steak sandwich, Afro steak dinner, & Chicken fantastic. These were all things she recommended, but she had also suggested others and I narrowed the field a bit. She chose the aptly named Chicken fantastic. The veggies, rice, chicken, and sauce were all cooked to perfection and combined for a delightful meal. The sambusas were the highlight, though; I still can't decide which I like better, beef or veggie. She also gave me a small side of a spicy, green sauce, which was excellent on the chicken and the sambusas. Another highlight: the baklava was larger than the 2-bite portion that is often served at other restaurants. I'm actually taking it to-go, as my meal was quite large, but there was no way I was passing on dessert. The next time I'm in the area, I will be back. Looking forward to 1 sambusa, baklava, and probably trying the Afro steak dinner. 4 out of 4 stars for casual dining (I reserve the 5th star for fine dining only).

When I was in college I worked for a small business near Lake Nokomis. Nearby was a little mart or shop that served the most amazing gyros I'd ever had. Actually, I'd never had a gyro before that but I was hooked. Unfortunately for me, I've been chasing that experience ever since. I've had good, even excellent gyros as the years went by, but none that matched that memory in my mind. I'd seen Afro Deli a few times while visiting the little farmer's market just outside its entrance and finally tried it a few weeks ago. I decided to go for the lamb gyro and my friend also ordered us some sambusas to share. The sambusas (samosas) were delicious. Hot, fresh, and were served with a flavorful and spicy green sauce. The gyro was, blissfully, as close to my memory of the gyro of summers past as I've found. The meat is well seasoned and not in skimpy, curled strips like you might find elsewhere. The pita/flatbread was also fresh and warm and had a satisfying amount of crispness to the outside while staying soft in the middle. The tzatziki was refreshing and gladly not sour cream-ish like I've experienced at other places. My friend and I thought we tasted cilantro which was a little surprising but good as I love cilantro, but something to note in case it's not your favorite. Will definitely be back, maybe to try the falafel sandwich or one of the dishes served with rice. Or maybe I'll just eat three gyros a week and keep my mouth and memory happy. Service was friendly and quick. One of the men working there seemed to know a lot of the customers and was happy to chat with them. The seating area inside is quite small, FYI, but the patio looked nice if the weather is cooperative.

What a sweet find the Afro Deli was! We walked over for lunch today at around a quarter to 12. Twenty minutes later, the place was jammed with a line going out the door. When you consider the menu, the pricing structure, the service, and the food quality, its easy to understand why the Afro is so popular. Ever have a craving for a Somali Steak Sandwich with African spices? Here ya go pal, the Afro has it. Want an AfroSteak Dinner or an Afro Green House Salad? Check--- the Afro delivers. They have a very cool menu of sandwiches, wraps, burgers,entrees, and salads and you'll get change back from your ten-spot for anything on the menu! My co-worker and I had lunch here today- she ordered an AfroGreen Salad ($3.99) with a $2.49 up-charge for some nice lamb gyro slices. It was a pretty big portion and looked great. I ordered the lunch sized Chicken Curry Bowl ($6.79) and it was a very satisfying portion of cubed chicken breast with peppers, onions, eggplant, carrots, garlic and African spices served over Somali rice. Trust me, it was excellent. There is such a nice sweet laid back vibe here. The servers are nice as can be and reggae music plays in the background. A great combo of soul and heart - go check it out.

This review is for their catering. I had one of their catered lunches at work the other day. Normally I skip them, but when I saw it was Afro Deli, I had to go! Everything was good. We had yellow rice, chicken fantastic, chicken curry, a veggie option, salad, veggie sambusas. I had everything but the veggie dish. The chicken fantastic was truly fantastic, and so was the curry. The sambusas were a little greasy and soft, not crisp, but I suppose that's because they weren't just made. The salad was super fresh, not the iceberg junk. The green salsa was AWESOME, super hot. I put that ish on everything and inhaled my plate. Can't wait to check out the actual deli.

Afro food offers ethnic food for the whole family. Although adventurous eaters can be satisfied, you don't have to be one to enjoy food that Afro Deli offers. Many of their entrees are flavorful, but subtly spiced. For example, their Veggie Fantasic dish includes sauteed vegetables and saffron basmati rice with a light cream sauce and parmesan cheese, It's the kind of dish that can please a picky eater as much as someone with a more courageous palate. The menu includes lamb gyros, falafel, and coconut shrimp... as well as chicken quesadillas, cheeseburgers, and Caesar or Greek salads Sambusa -- deep fried pastries filled with your choice of beef or veggies, are one of their specialties. Although they appear among entrees on the menu, I tend to add them to every order as an appetizer. It's a great beginning to other items on the menu. Service at the Afro Deli is friendly x2. The first time I stopped, I was walking by with my dog and the chef waved. When I stopped to wave back, he brought be a menu, took my order, and brought food out to me so that I could enjoy dining outdoors at Rice Park with my dog.

Good selection of food at reasonable prices with friendly service. The falafel sandwich was good; the spiced tea was surprisingly strong and sweet but also quite good.

Yesssss, my favorite lunch spot from school can now also be my favorite lunch spot for work. See the reviews for the Minneapolis location if you need more evidence that this place is worth your time. This location has all your favorites from the Minneapolis location (gyro, chicken fantastic, sambusas, etc) and it looks like they'll have a few different offerings soon (smoothies!?). And of course, the prices are good and the staff are super friendly. And it's not just a lunch place. They're open until 7 on weekdays so you can pick something up on your way out of or into St. Paul, too! This place isn't huge, but when the weather is nice you can sit outside. Hopefully Afro Deli can help breathe some life into 7th Place Plaza and downtown as a whole.

Awesome well-priced meals, quick service, and nice outdoor seating with umbrellas. Great place.

This place is wonderful! It's my go to lunch spot. Fresh, flavorful dishes with huge portions. Usually get two meals out of their salads or wraps! Pita and hummus is also delicious for a quick snack. Everything is appropriately priced as well!
(5)Washington N.
Surprised by the freshness of the food. The employees were pleasant. Had the regular sized chicken curry which was perfect lunch portion. The salad was only $1 extra. Despite being quite busy inside my order was ready pretty quick. Will be back to try other menu items.

Food was very good. Good portions. Be prepared to be forced to decide to tip a fast food place-irritating!

Great! Afro is great for people who are curious about African inspired cuisine but aren't ready to go whole hog yet. It has sambusas, chicken fantastic and other staples. If you love the flavors and want to try something a bit more authentic, hop the Green line to Fasika (Snelling) and Flamingo (Griggs).

Downtown Saint Paul needs more places like this one. Get away from the junk in the Skyway and make your way over to Old West 7th for some flavorful, food from your friends at Afro Deli. I have had the Somali Steak Sandwich, Veggie Fantastic, and Chicken Fantastic, Baklava, and Fries on various occasions. Everything has been delicious and fresh. I would like to try more of the menu, but quite frankly cannot stop myself from ordering a Chicken or Veggie Fantastic every time I come here. It's the most scrumptious mix of creamy zucchini, peppers, onion, and carrots (plus tender chunks of chicken, if you so choose), served over hot, seasoned basmati rice. And the regular portion is HUGE. No need to go with the large, unless you want to get at least two meals out of it. Friends have raved about their other offerings, including the Gyro, Falafel, and Sambusas. But just keep giving me that Veggie or Chicken Fantastic day after day and I'll be a happy camper. This place and it's friendly staff deserve your business!!!
