This was our first visit to Fhima's, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our waiter, Marshall inquired whether we had concert plans for the evening (we did). He did a great job of pacing our meal so that our food was presented in a timely manner and we were able to get to our concert at just the right time.
My hubs and I shared 3 different entrees and each was superb! The scallops with parmesan and saffron risotto, duck confit hash, and short ribs with sweet potato mousse were all tasty and nicely plated and presented. I could have licked the risotto and sweet potato mousse plates! The short ribs were garnished with a tuft of cotton candy-not needed in my opinion. Entrees were small enough to be a smaller plate meal; they were just right to share (2 scallops, 2 short ribs, etc). We finished off with sharing creme brulee which was actually brulee'd at the table. A fun way to end our meal!
We enjoyed a few drinks off of their seasonal menu-hubs had 2 drinks featuring mezcal-the Nib Slip and Smoke in Her Eyes-this was presented table side in a smoke filled decanter. I had the Dead &Lovely-I actually saved this drink to drink with dessert as it is a sweeter drink with heavy cinnamon notes.
Service was prompt and attentive, although it did taper off a bit as the restaurant became busier. Not a deal changer by any means, though. The wait staff seems to function well as a team with most tasks, which is nice to see.
We had a very nice visit to Fhima's. The variations in presentation of drinks and food makes the experience interesting and fun! Pricing was fair for the food and service levels. The attention to the small details was apparent. Well done!
Great venue and service, food was just okay. Cocktails were amazing.

Delicious food and incredible atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!
Thank you for your review!
Service was so incredibly slow. Our drinks took 25 minutes to arrive. We had to track down the host to deliver the wine that was ordered 30 minutes previously. The risotto was more of a soup. And the wagyu beef was cold in some spots and cooked in others. Just terrible.

Skip your usual dinner out favorites and GO HERE. I took my spouse here for a surprise birthday dinner on a Tuesday evening. I was excited to try Fhima's in it's historic space in downtown Minneapolis. The bar glows so invitingly from the street. Our host, Eli, was delightful and so helpful in making our evening special. The family recipe-bread was well worth ignoring my gluten-allergy for the evening. And, while I am not a big fan of lamb, the lamb tagine was all you'd hope with succulent meat, delicious exotic flavors, and the perfect mix of savory, salty, sweet, melt-in-your mouth delicious, with just the right amount of crunch from almonds. The GSM wine we had from the Cotes-du-Rhone was an ideal complement, and a good value for restaurant bottle pricing. We loved the space, but I wish they could also add some "warmer" lighting to reflect the incredible warmth of their hospitality. The art deco lights are amazing, but gave off a greenish hue close to the tall ceiling. If there were some attention to closer and more direct table lighting, the cozy factor would go way up. All in all, a great evening with great food. I felt like an insider and a friend when we left. And, we will definitely be back!
Thank you so much for your attention to detail! We are so happy that you enjoyed the experience the way it was intended; savory, magical and eventful! We look forward to your next visit!
Excellent service. Spectacular original art deco space. Great food, great cocktails

Great food Good service
Thank you so much for your review!
Great recipes. Recommend small plates to get a broad variety of taste experiences.
Thank you so much for reviewing us! Your details are very much appreciated!
I dined with a good friend who has been dealing with food allergies for years. I have dined with her before where the restaurant isn't as patient with her as they should be. It's not her choice to deal with these allergies. The Chef at Fhima came to our table twice to check on everything and to double check the allergy information. They were amazing. Service was truly top-notch and pricing is really good. We enjoyed the food too. Definitely check them out. The space is pretty amazing!
Thank you Kelly, it was our pleasure! We appreciate the time you took to write this review and hope to see you soon!
Food was not impressive and did not match the space, nor did the lackluster service. The salad was pathetic--large lettuce leaves with a bland tomato vinagrette , and while I appreciated the chef personally apologizing for it and sending out another salad--that was also just bad. Make an interesting salad with different textures and flavors, as these salads were lazy. The flat iron was terrible--overcooked and I felt badly for the animal that gave me this meat. The fries were not crunchy or flavorful. The service made the experience even worse. I left the restaurant hungry and totally disappointed when I just wanted a good meal during a cold night in Minneapolis during a work trip.

Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about menu and drinks. Our night was paced very well. Had great experience here!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us!
Fhima's is our go to place when we want to have a memorable experience. The hospitality is beyond 5 stars and quite honestly you walk out feeling as if you should expecct the papparazzi to be taking your picture when you leave. Not only is the service top notch but the quality of the food delivers as well. Even if you are not one to take pictures of your food you will want to when you see the presentation at Fhimas. The art deco ambiance with an touch of city chic will make you want to celebrate everything special.
Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate you and your support so much! Looking forward to the next visit! Happy Holidays!
We dined here for our anniversary celebration. The food was excellent but the service was terribly slow. I am not certain why as it seemed they had enough servers. It took 20 minutes to get our appetizers and at least another 35 to get our entrees. We hope this restaurant makes it but definitely need to resolve the service issues.
We appreciate your review and you thank you for your insights, Please send us a DM (according to the private message sent) when you have a moment. Thank you!
Fabulous experience!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us!!!
Some of the best food in the Twin Cities!!!!
Thank you so much for your review!!!!
Horrible service, except the guy that got our water. He was on point.
Please send us a DM according to the private message we sent to you, thank you for your time!
You can tell family is involved in every aspect of this restaurant. Truly a labor of love. The maitre'd was very attentive to all his guests. The flavor experience of the foods was totally unexpected! I remember dancing at Scotty's on Seventh. Fantastic art deco. Give it a try and you will be back.
Thank you so much for your review and your attention to detail! We appreciate your support and look forward to your next visit!
Our server and the staff were great!
Thank you so much for your review!!!!
This was my second lunch at Fhima's, and what I have to say is this is a gem in the making. Whether it is the Moroccan Fried Chicken sandwich or the Fhima Burger, pared with the delectable French Fries, or the amazing dipping sauces - homemade ketchup, harissa aioli, and another aioli, they are all amazingly good. You will not go hungry, and even the cold carrot salad is easy on the eyes and tasty. So my biggest concern, not enough people in the place at lunch. Seriously, check this place out, eat, enjoy, and tell others. I don't want this place to die on the vine! Service was good too. Never an empty water glass, plenty of drink options if you want them, and the coolest Art Deco place in the state. So please, please, please go and eat here for lunch or dinner!
Thank you so much for your review and for your support. We look forward to seeing you soon!
an absolutely unique place, the food and drinks were incredible! an absolutely ‘must go to’ if you haven’t already! beautiful ambiance and very good french moroccan food
Thank you so much for your review!!!! We look forward to your next visit!
We love this restaurant! The food is creative and so well prepared. The service is attentive and knowledgable. We've dined there three times in the past few months and every experience just gets better and better. The front-of-house manager personally welcomed us back and assisted us with our wine selection. Our server was very mindful of our timing, as we were heading to a show. We can't wait for an excuse to go back!
Thank you so much for your review!!!! We appreciate your support and you taking the time to share it! We very much look forward to your next visit!
Had the special, it was yummy and interesting. Interesting cocktail selection great service
Thank you so much for your review!!!!
The place has great ambiance. The coctails are nice. Although they were a bit small, the mussels tasted great. The lobster bisque was not think enough and it was very salty, and I generally put extra salt on my food. The wagyu flat iron steak was a bit overcooked and very salty as well. The scallops were fine.
It was a bit disappointing not getting a treat although multiple workers congratulated us for our anniversary.
Excellent, creative food!
Thank you so much for your review!!!!
Excellent dinner and great way to celebrate a birthday. Server explained drink and dinner choices to us and helped us make great choices. Definitely will return!
Thank you so much for your review!!!!
Was there for a birthday dinner and I was amazed! Our waitress was pleasant, the food was delicious and the decor and ambiance was delightfully refreshing.
Thank you so much for your review!!!!
Delicious food in a great setting. Service was attentive once we got it, they were a bit slow in getting around to us. Eventually the bartender just came over and took care of us despite the fact that we were in the dining room. He and the floor manager Alexis provided excellent service. The kitchen was slow, but they provided a complimentary glass of wine to make up for it. We can't wait to return.
Thank you so much for your review!!!!
Food was delicious, beautiful Art Deco environment, nice service. Would definitely go back and certainly recommend!
Thank you so much for your review!!!!
Great service! Great environment! And awesome food! I'm so happy with my overall decision to have taken my bf to Fhima for his birthday.
Thank you so much for your review!!!! We hope to see you soon!
My wife and I celebrated our 19 year dating anniversary , sounds funny when I put it that way, but it means the world to us. We’ve been married 3 years now. From the second we walked in the experience was fantastic. The hostess greeted us with a huge smile and great energy. The service from our server was spot on. So kind and helpful when it came to any questions about the menu. Too add to it all, the food was absolutely amazing. The taste of Morocco was so so good! We both could eat that bread for the rest of our lives. The owner, Mr. Fhima came over as well to see how our experience was going. We just felt so taken care of during our experience. Loved it all. Can’t wait to come back!
Love it! Thank you so much for your review!!!! It means the world to us that you enjoyed yourself and we look forward to your next visit!
Service was spot on. My friend at the Chicken Tagine. It was tasty. I had the special which was a duck breast over farro. Duck was over-cooked. Flavors were great.
The Art Deco was odd. The back of the restaurant felt like a sports bar. I enjoyed the food and would return.
Thank you so much for your review! It is very much appreciated!
Exceptional French Moroccan cuisine in a beautiful Art Deco restaurant
Fhima’s is without exception one of the best spots to dine in all of Minnesota. Theatric and delicious cocktails such as their Old Fashioned (called something like the Telephone Old Fashioned) were completely unique in presentation. For the Old Fashioned for example, they lite a small campfire at your table, which they then applied to the glass for added flavor and aroma - once the bourbon was added, which made it smell and taste absolutely delicious.
The food is classic Executive Chef, David Fhima - beautiful in presentation and beyond words in taste and flavor. My favorite dish was the Bone Marrow starter dish, however I was also blown away with the Tuna Tartar, the Scallops main entree.
Last, but not least was the cast iron, table-side caramelized Crème Brûlée for dessert! Exceptional and knowledgeable service from sever Anna, and overall a five star experience.
Thank you so much for your detailed review! We appreciate you taking the time and look forward to your next visits!
Absolutely stunning experience from start to finish. The food was some of the best I have encountered, and the service and attention by the server, bartender, and chef, who came out to welcome us and talk to us about the food and how it was prepared, was first-rate. This was one of the best dining experiences I have had in the Twin Cities. We were all very impressed by the drink menu as well, and the attention to detail in how the drinks are created. Everything from the special ice and wood-smoked glass, to the creativity of the cocktails, to the careful explanations by the bartender while making them, placed this restaurant leagues above the rest in terms of the overall bar side of the business. And then there was the desserts...while other restaurants use a torch to make their crème brûlée, these guys bring out a branding iron and sear it right at the table. Our group of five people has dinner together every Friday night, and it's rare that we decide to go back to the same restaurant twice. Fhima's is right at the top of that short list.
Thank you so much for your support and your review! It is very much appreciated and we are excited to have you back!
My goodness, everything was spectacular -- the food, the service, the atmosphere, the special treatment feeling!
Thank you so much for your review! Looking forward to seeing you again!
Professional service without an attitude; well-informed about menu and wine lists; attentive without being intrusive. The staff, both front of the restaurant and the kitchen, worked well together to make a lovely evening for the four of us.
Thank you so much for your review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to write us a note and support us in that way! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Everything about this restaurant is outstanding.
Thank you so much for your review!
Elijah (?) the Maitre D’ was very kind and welcoming. Even stopped at our table after dinner to check on us and chatted briefly. Great personal touch. We had drinks at the bar before dinner. Bartender was great. Sorry I don’t know his name. The Chef even stopped at the bar to greet us and was also very welcoming. Barbara was our server and she absolutely rocks! She is kind, efficient, professional, funny and made a standard Wednesday night dinner, fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about the entire staff and our experiences here. We love it. The background music could have been a tad more lively but it was a Wednesday lol.
Thank you for your kind and generous review! It was our pleasure to serve you and we look forward to your continued visits!
The servers were all extremely attentive. The food was good. A starter and a small plate was plenty food. Great selection of desserts.
Thank you so much for your review!
Amazing food, great service, informative and gracious staff. A beautiful evening. Will be back often.
Thank you so much for your review!
