Fhima's Minneapolis

Took my husband here for his birthday. Upon arrival, we were greeted and taken to our table. The atmosphere was wonderful and the service was great. We started off with an appetizer called the Moroccan sampler. This dish was beautifully plated. Came with hummus, Moroccan olives, tahini, and their version of shakshuka, zaalouk (the eggplant dish) and msmen. Anyone that has ever had shakshuka knows it’s not a paste. I’ve never tasted zaalouk that was so sweet and had the taste of cinnamon. The msmen? It was flatbread. Not msmen at all!

So great! Had rabbit with risotto and it was so good. I never had rabbit before so I recommend giving it a try. My boyfriend got the Wagyu Tenderloin and it was divine! The drinks are so good and the wait staff is amazing. Chris was so attentive and handled our every need. Another waiter, Tanner stopped to talk to us and make sure it went well.

I did a pick up order while in a huge winter storm and on a normally-would-be-busy Friday night, it was very slow due to the weather. While I waited for the food, the staff were lovely, so friendly and warm (on a cold day too!). The order was quite large and absolutely fantastic! The seafood was some of the best I've had. The atmosphere of the place was intimate and upscale. The booths had large privacy curtains if needed and the ceiling is quite tall, lovely design and detail! I would love to have a dine-in meal here, and soon!
