"Holy Land, a beloved Middle Eastern deli, bakery, and grocery store nestled in Northeast Minneapolis, has been a Twin Cities staple for decades. Its innovative initiatives, such as the Holy Land Hummus Factory and the Holy Land Charitable Fund, have made a meaningful impact on the community. The menu is equally impressive; the appetizer plate offers a delightful array of creamy hummus, vibrant baba ghanoush, crispy falafel, and tender grape leaves. The Arabic Shawarma combo includes both chicken and beef shawarma with a tangy garlic sauce over rice or hummus. No visit to Holy Land is complete without indulging in a piece of their delectable baklava or kunafa - truly a must-try." - Matthew Awad
