I used to like Holy Land, but then I tried Marina Grill (4755 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis)/ Marina Grill & Deli (2424 University Ave NE, Minneapolis). The former chef of Holy Land started Marina and so now Holy Land doesn't even come close. Marina has an excellent buffet with excellent choices, not the nasty one like Holy Land.\r

Marina has larger space, more food options, better hummus/grape leaves/spinach pies/falafel/gyro/etc, friendlier service. Also, Marina's catering is cheaper and much better than Holy Land's. Holy Land's food used to be good, but now I have heard of so many people getting sick from it. Majdi is buying apartments in an attempt to make money because his restaurant is not as good as it used to be. It's outright gross now.
Cons: Everything
