Less than two blocks from a light rail station… always book any appts at the U around lunch time so I can eat here. Best chicken Greek salad, chicken fantastica is also one of my favorites. Friendly staff, clean store

My first experience at Afro deli. I was placing an order for my wife. I was happy with everything until I went to the front desk to grab my order. I order lamb gyro with fries and Diet Coke. I went to the vending machine to get the drink. The machine didn’t have any Diet Coke. Display said “unavailable”. Same thing for zero Coke. I tried zero Fanta. The machine filled half the cup and started just pouring clear soda. This is not the problem. I went to the front desk and talked to a Somali guy at the front desk. I let him know that the machine is out of multiple drinks. He said “ I give you the drink for free” and then asked me “ did you pay for the drink?” In fact I paid for everything plus tips. He didn’t even apologize or offer to change the containers in the machine. The guy had ZERO sense of politeness or customer. This was my first and my last time there.

Went on a Monday around 1:30. Dine in, not very busy. Food was good. Had Greek salad and gyro. With fries. Sauces were delicious. Food was fresh.

A nice quick and easy to obtain restaurant by the U of M campus! Was a big fan of their beef bowl. It was super savory and had a lot of beef.The chicken fantastic had decent flavors, but did not have much chicken at all maybe 7 pieces total in a large.The beef sambusas had a great crispy exterior, but the insides could have had more flavor. Fortunately the sauce they provided with it was not too bad.Overall food came out quick and it was tastyPictured:1. Medium Beef bowl2. Large Chicken fantastic3. Beef sambusas4.

Yummy lamb gyros. Very large portion, great fries, tasty sauce, if meat isn't that dry, it will be perfect.

Pretty good! Large portions, meat was a little dry, but otherwise well done. Fries were good!

Love their food. They do a great job with catering as well. All of my coworkers and students loved it - I got so many compliments on it!

Always a delight; food is delicious and service is usually prompt. One time they messed up my order but were very kind about the mistake and provided a desert to compensate. Highly recommended!

This was a random selection following time at the winter carnival and ? ? so glad we found it!Delicious food. Cool atmosphere. Great service.Definitely the place for a sit down or get together, anything!

Delicious food and amazing customer service! I have never been disappointed. They have something for every pallet: a must try is you have never eaten here before.
