The Best Middle Eastern in the Twin Cities | Eater Twin Cities

"Though a deli might not be the most traditional setting for Lebanese cuisine, Zakia Deli has been delighting diners with its unique approach since 2007. Offering traditional Lebanese dishes in familiar American-style deli digs, it serves cold deli sides and rotating hot daily specials. From the deli, try the fasoolya, a refreshing dish of kidney beans in a light dressing, or visit on a Friday for the loubieh special, a savory Lebanese stew of green beans, onions, garlic, and red bell peppers in a rich tomato sauce. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a variety of desserts like baklava, honey cake, coconut cake, turmeric cake, molasses cake, and many more." - Matthew Awad
