Holy Land is more than just a restaurant--it's also a deli, a grocery store, and a bakery. It was opened in 1987 by Wajdi Wadi as a tiny Halal grocery store, and it has expanded by leaps and bounds ever since. It's a neighborhood staple and known throughout the Twin Cities for its authentic Mediterranean cuisine and adherence to Halal/Zabhihah strictures. The restaurant has a casual and comfortable atmosphere and good service. They use products that are as eco-friendly/ethical as possible, and they have gluten-free options, vegetarian options, and vegan-friendly options, too. Their menu includes a spinach pie, kebobs, shawirma, and wood-fire rotisserie chicken. For dessert, try their chocolate baklava for a twist on the old favorite.
