It is a tiny cafe in the bottom of the Lumber Exchange Building in downtown Minneapolis. But you’re not taking any wedding parties there. Best to get your food to go. MAYBE 21 people can fit in the cramped dining room. But you’re there for food you would expect in the Mediterranean. Creamy tzatziki, wonderfully textured hummus, home-baked pita. It’s all there. The portions are immense. This may be the only time we go since we’re from out of town. But they have their regulars as you can tell from the conversations. And regular or not, they are happy to see you.
