One of the best Somali 🇸🇴 spots in Minneapolis—Cairo Grill never misses. The sambusas are so good, and I always go for the chicken + rice. The staff is super sweet, but just know it’s kinda an in-and-out mission (worth it every time).

Cairo Grill stands out not only for its mouthwatering dishes but also for its genuine representation of Somali culinary traditions. From my visits, the sambusas here are especially memorable—they have a perfectly crispy exterior with savory fillings that balance spices beautifully. The chicken and rice combo is consistently hearty, making it a favorite comfort meal for locals. One thing I appreciate about Cairo Grill is the efficiency of service. Despite being an 'in-and-out mission,' the staff manages to maintain warmth and friendliness which adds to the overall inviting atmosphere. The restaurant’s location on Chicago Ave in Minneapolis makes it easily accessible, especially for those who crave authentic Somali flavors in a casual setting. Whether you’re new to Somali cuisine or a returning fan, Cairo Grill offers a welcoming experience. The menu isn’t overwhelming, which makes it easier to choose, but everything is prepared with care and authenticity. If you’re exploring Minneapolis’s food scene, make sure to stop by and try their sambusas and chicken with rice—you won’t regret it. Plus, the quick service means you can enjoy a fulfilling meal without a long wait, perfect for lunch or dinner during a busy day.
