Afro Deli & Grill: St. Paul

"Abdirahman Kahin’s Afro Deli — with locations in both St. Paul and Minneapolis — dishes up chapati wraps, lamb gyros, and Somali steak sandwiches heaped with thin-sliced beef for right around $10. Curry, chicken yassa, and steak rice bowls clock in at about the same price, while the flaky sambusas, at three for $6.29, make for a perfect quick lunch." - Justine Jones, Alex Lodner

"Abdirahman Kahin’s St. Paul staple, Afro Deli, offers easy lunchtime dining, dishing up yassa chicken, flavor-packed beef sambusas, and bursting-at-the-seams Somali steak sandwiches, all at fairly budget-friendly prices (most meals are around $10 or $11). Save room for a slice of baklava or tres leches cake, and note that Afro Deli is closed on Sundays." - Justine Jones, Joy Summers, Eater Staff

"Abdirahman Kahin’s St. Paul staple, Afro Deli, is a great option for a pre-theater meal in a pinch — but fast service times don’t compromise quality on this menu of yassa chicken, flavor-packed beef sambusas, and bursting-at-the-seams Somali steak sandwiches. If you’re making frenzied dinner plans an hour before curtain time, head here, and save room for a slice of baklava or tres leches cake." - Justine Jones, Julie Zhou, Eater Staff

"Afro Deli is a takeout mainstay for yassa chicken, chapati wraps, and Somali steak sandwiches. For an especially big group, place a catering order in advance for trays of falafel gyros, chicken curry with rice, or the finger food sampler. Sambusas, sweet plantains, and coconut shrimp make for great game-day snacks." - Justine Jones
