Superb Persian delicacies are served in one of the Twin Cities' most stylish dining rooms.Tease your palate with roasted mussels or broiled scallops.

Authentic Kurdish restaurant |
544 Saint Peter St Minneapolis, MN 55102 United States +1 651 602 9964 |
Babani's claims to be the first authentic Kurdish restaurant in the United States. The unfamiliar menu items may keep some away, but once you try it, you will definitely come back. The richly aromatic cuisine is prepared using fresh vegetables and organic herbs and spices. The Kurdish chicken soup, dowjic ($3.50 cup/$6.50 bowl), and tabbouleh ($3.50/$6.25) are nicely complimented by naska nan wa paneer ($3.50/$6.95), an addicting, delicious house-baked bread.For those looking for a taste bud-tingling entrée, don't miss the kubay sawar ($11.75), ground beef stuffed in fried wheat dumplings, or chicken tawa, chicken layered with potato, green pepper, onion and dried lemon. Prices are reasonable and portions are enormous. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cozy atmosphere |
720 Grand Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55105 United States +1 651 290 2085 |
Stepping into the light and airy dining room, you will find a calm escape in this laid back restaurant in a converted home in the heart of bustling Grand Avenue. A crusty French bread with black olives sautéed in olive oil, garlic and cayenne is your appetizer. Skip the usual garden salad; opt for artichoke hearts and goat cheese scattered over a plate of baby greens. Moroccan stews are the highlight of the small, but spicy and exotic menu. The lamb, wild mushrooms, beans and raisins stew is superb. For the vegetarian, it is hard to pass on the bean and lentil stew with apricots and asparagus, served with mint and dill sauce. Dessert can be as simple as a plate of fresh, organic dates or a creme caramel with lots of burnt-sugar syrup. This place is closed on tuesdays. Review © 2007, Wcities |
