New York Gyro

This place is happening! Good food, halal, no alcohol, even the adjoining gas station sells no alcohol. Was here visiting a relative. Whatever the previous reviewer said, it's all true.

OMG! I love this place! I can't stop thinking about the food! This is a casual place with a friendly staff :). I was returning to Minneapolis when I decided to stop and drive through St. Cloud and find a place to eat. http://Zabihah.com listed this place as a business that serves halal food. I thought I'd get a gyro or something and then go back on my. I was shocked to find pretty authentic, delicious food. Maybe because I had such low expectations. Who would have thought a small place that's not in a big metro area, that has a funny name, and a Statue of Liberty out front has pretty good food?! Sounds ignorant, but I assumed the place would serve watered down Middle Eastern food. Instead I found a place that was hoping with college students and serves mostly South Asian (Indian/Pakistani type food). The menu consisted of samosas, biryani, chapli kabab, burgers, nuggets, chicken and lamb kabobs, fish burgers, gyros, falafel, etc. This was some of the best food I've had in a long time. It kind of reminded me of home. Some dishes are comparable to homecooked meals and food found in New York and the Bay Area. I got samosas, the combo platter, and a drink for about $11. The portions are generous and lasted me a couple of meals. I am sure if I wasn't being so greedy, I could have made the food last longer lol. I thought I'd probably never be back here again because I thought it'd be my first and last time in St. Cloud, but I am hoping and praying something brings me back up here hahah. I don't think I've ever had such a strong reaction to a place before. I definitely sound like I have an obsession lol. I guess it was that good :). Great food, great prices, and great portions.
