We are a fusion restaurant and social venture that seeks to weave together business with community and culture. Serving Minneapolis since 2009, we offer fresh, delicious fusion cuisine that brings the community together! Afro Deli is a fast, friendly, and affordable place for anything from coffee and tea, to lunch, dinner, and dessert. We offer freshly made African, Mediterranean, and American cui

sine at reasonable prices. All of our dishes are made fresh and prepared Halal! Afro Deli exhibits the familiar, vibrant color scheme shared by African Development Center and offers both indoor and outdoor seating to suit all seasons. We also cater all types of events and meetings, from small to large. Tell us the size of your party and your budget— and together we’ll custom design a meal that will satisfy both. At Afro Deli, we believe in a prosperous community for all! We donate a percentage of our proceeds to local organizations that promote a vibrant and healthy local community. Instead of serving our closest circle, we hope to reach causes far and wide and truly walk the talk of community reinvestment. Adding more depth and culture to the booming commercial corridor in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, Afro Deli is a growing hit among students, residents, and workers in the area.

When the architects of the Minneapolis Sound pull up for sambusas 🎶

Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis walked into our downtown St. Paul location on Friday and we haven't stopped smiling since. Forty years of hits, five Grammys, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, and they still stood at the counter, took their time, and made sure our whole team got in the photo. You can tell greatness by how it treats the people behind the counter.

Catch them at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand on Saturday, Aug. 29 for Homecoming: A Celebration of the Minneapolis Sound. Then come find us in the Food Building, east wall. We're there all twelve days with our new Peri-Peri Bowl 🔥

Legends eat here. So should you 😁
