"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
"Enjoy Mediterranean cuisine in a casual atmosphere, with a wide-ranging menu including gyros, wood-fired rotisserie chicken, Persian-style kabobs, handmade samosas, and hummus with fresh pitas. The restaurant is certified halal, and there are plenty of vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian items. Hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m." - Stacy Brooks
"Holy Land restaurant donated food to support the Gaza solidarity encampment at the University of Minnesota. The restaurant's contribution was part of a collective effort by local Palestinian restaurants to provide meals to the protesters." - Justine Jones

"After a challenging few years, Holy Land’s flagship location in Northeast Minneapolis is still serving Middle Eastern and Mediterranean staples to the local community. On the grocery side, this Central Avenue spot is stocked with fresh produce, labneh, olives, and spices, plus butcher cuts from the halal meat counter.
