Pangea Halal Market

Absolutely loved the experience! The food was authentic and bursting with flavor — from the perfectly grilled Mashawi to the well done Mendi. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It's rare to find a place that gets both food and hospitality just right. Please keep up this amazing level of service — it truly makes a difference and keeps customers like me coming back! Would you like it to include the name of a specific dish or mention the ambiance?

Very neat and organized. Tasty looking meat. Not crowded. Fresh veggies and fruits. They have almost all you need. Connected to the restaurant next door called Mashawi and they're really good!

I came here specifically for the Blazo chocolate bars. Each serving has less than 55 calories and less than 8 grams of carbs. I didn't spend a ton of time in the store but was very impressed with the selection. These are things that you won't be able to find at most international food stores. Highly recommend!

Great food at the grill. The market is on one side while the restaurant is on the other but they are connected inside. I walked through the grocery store and it was full of unique, hard to find items. I looked over the menu, seems to change a bit from ones posted on Google maps, but settled on the chicken shawarma with salad and pickled vegetables. You get to pick 2 sides. The food had amazing flavor and depth, also comes with a pita. Really a great value and delicious.

Awesome selection! Fresh produce, various candy, and almost everything offered in a large supermarket but a focus on Halal food. We bought some candy imported from Egypt, picked up some vitamins, and random other miscellaneous items and the price was excellent. Service was great and the staff interacted with my 1.5 year old (surprisingly more rare than one would think). I highly recommend stopping in and trying something new!

Pleasantly surprised! Restaurant has a travel gas station feel but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Being attached to the market lets you roam around and buy groceries while your food is being prepared. Flavor profiles were more complex that what I would have expected from a restaurant like this. Meats were tender and well spiced. Hummus and pita were excellent. Prices were reasonable. They gave a decent amount of food too. Definitely coming here more often.

I live about 10 miles from here and I love this place! The grocery store is very well-stocked, I always come in here to buy things before heading to the restaurant on the other side. I last went to the grill over a month ago and tried their newer items, I'm not exaggerating when I say the chicken shawarma burrito fed me for two days! At the time they didn't slice it into two halves, so I cut it myself when I got home, but it was still delicious. And their baba ghanouj is incredible! The food and grocery items here are priced well and worth it. Definitely check this place out!

I don't usually use the word amazing but in this case I have no choice. Everything WAS amazing! The extraordinary service with a smile, we felt welcomed and the food was hot and fresh. Just incredibly fantastic! I will be back often! Thank you!

2nd time back had to get more amazing Falafels with garlic dipping sauce, hummus with flat bread and the house salad that is just delicious. Was given a sample of Baklava and it was incredible. Probably the best I've tasted i had to go into the grocery store and but a variety pack. Dangerously good

I've driven by this store and restaurant few times now and finally had the time to stop by. One side is a grocery store and other side is a restaurant. The restaurant offers tacos, burrito, and Mediterranean food. I noticed they offer sambusa and decided to try some. The service was good, order aat the counter and you can choose to dine in. Specious dining area as well. Sambusa wwere delicious! Ground beef with spices wrapped in a crunchy eggroll wrap. I will come back for more.

I have been wanting to try the food from here since the last couple times I shopped at the market connected to the grill. Finally had the opportunity and it did not disappoint. Service was great and quick. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. It's a very laid back, casual eatery. I did notice that they have added some Mexican bakery items on the market side and also tacos and burritos on their grill menu. I will have to try them on my next visit. My friend and I decided to order the 3 person platter so we can try different things. It came with Beef Kabab, Chicken Kabab, Kufta Kabab, chicken shawarma, hummus, rice, salad, and fresh-baked pitas. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the Chicken shawarma and the pita bread dipped in hummus. There's plenty of food for multiple meals for two. We both were very satisfied. Definitely check out this place if you are in the area. You wouldn't be disappointed.

I'm only reviewing the restaurant portion of Pangea. We always drive by this place and I like the look of the building. As we are always up for trying new Middle Eastern food It's an order at the register and find a table or order to go. The place looked clean, thankfully too We ordered the 4 person platter. The price online, on the board and on their own register were all different - a bit frustrating. In the platter was beef, kufta & chicken kababs, chicken shawarma, hummus, baba ghanoug, rice, salad, and bread. We also ordered falafel. I'll start with the good the falafel was good. The meat for not quite enough for 3 people. The were three pieces of the chicken and beef kabab. There were only 2 small-med sized kufta. The chicken shawarma was dry and crunchy. Overall there was lots of rice and salad. The salad was good but the meat was dry and bland. The hummus was not super creamy and bread was also on the dryer side. The young woman cashier couldn't answer basic questions about the meal, the actual cost of the meal, and how long it would take to pick up. We left and came back with in 20-25 mins and it was ready to go. Maybe the sandwiches are better? We were disappointed and will probably not return.

I wanted to check out this place. It's fairly newer to the area. I was hungry and wanted a gyro. Although size seemed small, the meat to bread ratio was right on. I probably could have eaten two or one gyro and another type of main. Service was excellent for how busy it was. The ambiance was that of a busy market/deli. The market had a good halal meat market. Two or three types of beef but they had wonderful goat and lamb. I believe there was chicken. Don't shop there for your American meat needs. Shop there for your Halal meat and Mediterranean food needs. The market would suffice for any Mediterranean menu item. Olive bar and other deli items.

This is a one-stop-shop. It is a grocery/restaurant. Whenever I visit my friend in Coon Rapids I stop here for halva, pita bread, mango juice..etc. And, I either order chicken shawarma or falafel to go, at the restaurant for lunch or dinner. The food here is so good.

I waited and waited and waited for this place to open (eyeing it every time I visited the grocery portion of the store). We finally checked it out one night and I'm so happy to have this nearby. I had the kofta plate with rice, baba ghanouj and salad. Everything was delicious! The kofta could have maybe used some more spice, but it had a wonderful grill flavor. My husband had the gyro plate and that also looked great. He loved the pickled vegetable side option. He also ordered a side of falafel which I usually don't love, but these were so crispy and tender and delicious - I wanted more! Restaurant was very clean and staff was helpful! The store is also great - olives, cheese and bread are always my go to purchases. Kalmata olives were very reasonably priced and I had some delicious afghan bread (went great with my leftover baba ghanouj.) Love having you in the neighborhood!!

Been there a few times and the food was okay. Once though, the food was literally inedible. I don't know what was going on that day, but we literally had to throw our food away and buy something elsewhere. Just my honest experience.

What a cool spot with a fast casual restaurant & huge market! I enjoyed some really tasty plates from the Pangea Grill side. Combination Plate- one skewer each of chicken kabab, beef kabab, kufta kabab, and chicken shawarma. Served with rice, hummus, salad, and a fresh-baked pita. Mixed Shawarma Plate - A combination shawarma plate that comes w/ Chicken Shawarma and Beef Shawarma & served with rice, hummus, salad, and a fresh-baked pita. These were both really good! I think my favorites were the kufta kabab & the Beef schwarma! Everything was really flavorful. Also, I tried a drink called Vinto which is a sparkling juice that contains grapes, raspberries, & black currents! It was really tasty! Connected to the grill is a whole market with a meats, cheese, snacks, spices, fresh baked breads, and so much more. It's actually the largest Halal grocery store in MN! How cool is that! Definitely check out this awesome spot next time youre in Coon Rapids!

We ordered this for lunch. A coworker went and picked it up. The food was ready when they said it would be ready! The food was amazing! It was still hot, generous portions, reasonable prices. I will definitely be back! I have never been in this restaurant so I can't comment on the cleanliness or vibe.

Super clean and cute grocery store. Our family loves to try snacks from around the world so we got an array of different snacks and goodies to try. All were very yummy and fresh. The homemade flat bread and hummus were so delicious! I did get a chicken Shawarma wrap from the deli however, it was extremely dried out chicken, which was very disappointing. My husband actually went back the next day to get more hummus and got a year which was also meet was super dried out.

We've been here before with the whole family. Today we had a lunch date. Quality, yummy food. There's really nothing else to say except check out the market while you're here.

I always get nice friendly service here and the food is fantastic. Some of the items in the grocery store can be more expensive than other places.

Chill, no frills deli inside of a small grocery store. Order and quick pick up at the counter. Plenty of room to dine in if you want. The food is solid. Don't forget to get the pickled veggies.

This place is great! The chicken shawarma plate and kofta were superb! Great service and they keep the place super clean. I spoke to the chef as well, who takes a lot of pride in his work. Great job, Pangea Market!

They are super helpful and nice. Great high quality hard to find grocery items. GREAT restaurant next door!

Ordered the chicken kabobs and the whole meal was amazing! The grilled chicken was seasoned very good and the flavor was chargrilled. Their hummus was some of the best I've had. Very creamy, smooth and light/whipped. Service was fast!

Excellent middle eastern place. I generally judge these places ythe quality of their baba ghanoush and their's was excellent. Falafel were big and fresh as well. Highly recommend.

I order the combination plate and I am stuffed by the time I finish it. Foods real good especially for the price. I go to so many places and drop 20 bucks and I'm not satisfied, not full or feel like crap. It's the opposite with this place I love finding places like this. I've been twice now and will make it a regular thing.

Food is great! Service was great! Love this place, will definitely come again! Clean and love all the Market offerings too.

This is my new favorite go-to. The food is delicious, the staff are always friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is nice and clean. Plenty of gluten free options too. Definitely recommend.

Very good. The market has sugar free options not found everywhere. The gyro very have been back several times

Very good swaharmas. Our 2nd time back for lunch. Clean and fast service. They also sell groceries. Definitely coming back for more.

The food was amazing! The service was good, we had some questions about the menu and the staff explained what each was. It wasn't too crowded when we visited, which was a little after the lunch rush I assume. If you like hummus, there's something about the side hummus that just made it sooo yummy! I was practically eating it by itself! It had a very nice texture and the taste was not too overpowering. I got the gyro plate and my husband got the beef plate! Very good flavors! The meats were served on a bed of basmati rice and we had two sides. It was very filling! Definitely recommend this place!!
