    We enjoyed our visit to Ansari’s. The food and service were very good. Generous portions, affordable. Great option for Mediterranean food. The one off putting thing was that the belly dancer came to each table with a tip basket after her performance. We don’t usually have cash on us and we did not expect this so we found it embarrassing and felt very on the spot. I wish I had known ahead of time that tips would be expected so that I could have come prepared. But also that practice of literally having her stop at every table felt tacky.

    Service was really off. The potato chips served with entrees are usually always good but they were not edible and bitter. Couldn’t even eat them. Water glass had a massive crack through it. Sprite refill took 30 mins. Disappointed.

    Ansari's is one of the best restaurants in the Twin Cities. I have been going there for over 20 years regularly & hope to be going for another 20! If you like gyros, hummus, great beer, or food, this is the place for you!

    I booked in advanced a booth because I have disabilities and need somewhere to sit comfortably to watch people from guild of middle eastern dance perform since I am a member and cause I was celebrating an achievement, but it was only me going to be at a booth. I came 10 minutes late and called saying that I was running late because my driver canceled their ride and didn't show up so I had to book someone else. When I got there even though I was 10 minutes late, I had to wait in line to tell someone I had a reservation and when they were sitting me they wanted to sit me at a spot that wasn't a booth. I said I reserved for a booth ahead of time, cause I have disabilities. Then she said she asked me where I wanted to sit but I said I didn't hear here cause the dance performance was going on so it was loud. While she was walking me to my booth she made some kind of comment saying that it was just me sitting at the booth and how it would've been better if I would've say over at the other table. I thought that was so incredibly rude because I have came other times and sat in that exact same booth with others it's just I came alone this time and trying to make snide manipulative comments towards people with disabilities is not cool. I'm really disappointed. I've had great service from others here and I love the creative food options and selections but sometimes you just have to call out a business when they make mistakes sometimes to do better. I still will be coming back, but hope for better service.

    Came for Valentine's Day and had delicious food and great service, as always! The Valentine's special 4 course dinner was amazing. The lamb shank was so tender and the gyros pasta was to die for!

    We went there for dinner and to watch the belly dancing performance. The food was amazing. My husband had the taste of Greece, and I had the stir fry. Both had great flavors. We enjoyed watching the belly dancing performance. The performer even gave my daughter and some other kids belly dancing lessons on stage. It was a great night out!
