Nupa Mediterranean Cuisine

My favorite place to grab a great healthy lunch! Their chicken pita lunch special is awesome. Great customer service and a place where they remember your name.

Wow! I am so glad I visited!
Went for lunch on a Saturday. They had chicken kabobs listed as a la carte, so I asked if I could get as a platter. The guy said they had a platter, and I could choose 2 of 4 side options: salad, grilled veg, rice or fries.
I decided to forego the extra carbs and had my two kabobs with Greek salad and grilled zuccini and yellow squash. It also comes with 4 pita triangles that have been on the grill and a delicious tzatziki sauce.
The food was a nice portion and absolutely delicious. The vegetable sides were filling without bloating. The kabobs come with onion and peppers between the pieces of chicken and were perfectly seasoned and not dry.
This place is just shy of a mile from Mayo clinic, and easy to walk to through local neighborhoods. I highly recommend it. Great to get out of the Mayo complex of underground tunnels and skywalks connecting to hotels, shopping and restaurants and get some fresh air. I noticed a cool brewery nearby as well, and it seems to be in a neat neighborhood.

I love Gyros and short of the fair, this is the best place around to find good quality Gyros.

Favorite restaurant in town! Took my family there for dinner on Friday and then lunch on Saturday. Love the spicy feta & hummus appetizer. My husband always orders the Gyro greek salad. Service is friendly & fast. The food is affordable & delicious!

In-​house pita chips from a gas station parking lot restaurant have no business being this good. They ain’t Stacy’s Pita Chips, but, you know, that’s not a bad thing.

Their food is amazing… sometimes here service is a little slow even if the restaurant is not busy so expect that but their food is worth the wait!

Excellent food and outstanding service. The staff was efficient and dedicated providing a wonderful experience with fresh food and clean environment. I strongly recommend coming to this establishment and suggest the fresh salads.

Went here for lunch for the first time the other day and was amazed! I convinced my coworker to come with and we were so happy she did. I had a gyro and the meat was so delicious and flavorful. The tzatziki sauce was killer! She had a Mediterranean salad and loved it. We will definitely be coming back to try all the other menu items. Oh and the service was excellent!

Nupa is fantastic! We had both the chicken and the lamb/​beef gyro lunch. I really liked them both and the fries were awesome. I could take a bath in their tzatziki sauce.

I always get the grilled chicken salad– amazing, fresh and fast! Excellent friendly service! One of my fav spots.

We went there for a late night dinner and had the place almost to ourselves. The food was great. Highly recommend the stuffed grape leaves. The caprese salad was good. The tomatoes used were a generic meat tomato, but I prefer an heirloom variety (I’m probably picky). However, they used a good balsamic drizzle over the salad, and the price more than made up for it. My wife had the gyro and I had the calamari. Both were decent. The calamari wasn’t too chewy — always a plus! I would have preferred more vegetables in the pita. The tzatziki sauce, however, was tops and pulled everything together nicely. They also served the calamari with a mustard sauce that I didn’t care much for but that was no big deal. Food was good — could have been fresher. All in all for two entrees and two appetizers, we ate for under $ 30. We will be back.

If you haven’t been here, you’re missing out! Nupa has been serving consistently excellent and fresh Greek food for years here in Rochester. With the rise and fall of many other restaurants in the interim, it’s been great to have this staple for a quick lunch or dinner.
My go-​to is the grilled chicken salad which always comes with fresh ingredients (I’ve never seen a piece of wilted lettuce here…) and warm pita on the side. The gyros are amazing — fresh, hot, and very generous portions. Definitely one of my favorites.

Huge fan of the chicken shawarma platter. The chicken and rice pilaf are both outstanding and the pita is light and delicious.
The rice pilaf is on the salty side (which I like, but it’s not for everyone!).
I’ve dined in and taken out and both have been enjoyable.

I love their pita sandwiches! Their lunch specials are awesome and include a salad and fries/​rice. The chicken pita has been my favorite, while the falafel was just OK. The service was excellent. They give you a number card after you order and you seat yourself, sit back, and wait for them to bring the food to you. I can’t wait to go back and try the florettas and more!
Bonus: Free Cucumber/​Flavored Water!

Very nice place
Very good food. Clean place. Salad size was smaller than i expected for ir price (8 $ for a very small salad) but in general i will get back here

Our first time at Nupa, we went for lunch. I got the combo plate, and my boyfriend got the gyro lunch menu. They were very busy, which was great to see, but it took a while to get our food. When it came out, however, it was awesome. Perfectly cooked meat (chicken kebobs, lamb), perfectly grilled zucchini, and a lovely romaine Greek side salad. Pitas were hot and straight off the griddle. Highly recommend it!

This is literally the best food I’ve ever eaten… as far back as I can remember.
I got the chicken pita lunch with a Greek salad, fries and a tiramisu for dessert.
DELICIOUS!

A solid gyro. Good, fresh tzatziki. The wrap was bursting with meat, lettuce, tomato and red onion; it almost too much food. I also got some of my favorite soup — Avgolemono — and it didn’t disappoint. Having the soup as a side would have made more sense, but I was charged for both separately, which made the meal kinda pricey. Customer service wasn’t friendly, but they were pretty busy. Cucumber-​infused water — yum! I paid for a fountain drink, but just ended up drinking that.

Love this place for both eat in and take out! Awesome Gyro Pita! Every time I go, I toy with trying something else, but I just can’t NOT order it. I switch between getting the fries & the rice (and if I’m feeling extra hungry/​carby i get the plate that comes with both. HA!)
Restaurant is small, clean, and has a nice casual ambiance. Staff are really friendly, and often come around to check on you (even though this is an «order/​pay at the counter» place).
Try their cucumber infused water — its really refreshing and good!

Rochester MN — This little Mediterranean restaurant is perfect. First off, I love places where you order and pay at the counter. It makes so much more sense than having a bunch of servers frantically running around trying to keep everyone happy. That being said, the guy from the counter went above and beyond, bringing out our food promptly and checking on us twice to make sure we were enjoying our food. Fantastic service. He even brought us extra pita bread out after finishing our calamari because there was hummus left over.
The food was perfect. I had a falafel wrap and was very impressed with the quality. Sides of rice and green salad complimented it perfectly… The fries looked unbelievable but I had to refrain due to my poor diet choices this week. My partners chicken salad was also fantastic. Great job! Would definitely return.
