Our Blog

During this challenging time, we appreciate the support of our Afro family and we remain flexible to meet the needs of our community. The health and safety of our customers and employees is our top priority and will continue to monitor the situational updates daily. We have a few more updates since the situation has progressed in the last few days.

In response to the constantly evolving COVID-19 situation, we will be temporarily reducing hours at our Stadium Village location. Starting Monday, March 16th, we will be closing at 6:30pm everyday of the week. All other locations will continue with their current operating hours until further notice. We will have more updates as needed.

Thank you for your patience and thank you for all that you are doing to keep our community safe!

ICYMI: Afro Deli will finally be in downtown Minneapolis!

We're proud to be opening our 4th location and couldn't be happier that we will finally be in downtown Minneapolis. You can now find us in the Baker Center skyway serving the same amazing flavors you've known for years.

Four years after we first opened in St. Paul, we are proud to be opening up a second location in the Alliance Bank food court. We have learned a lot over these past years and we have loved every minute of our growth. We're proud to serve you in a new way with our skyway location focusing on bringing the food you love in a simpler and quicker way. 

Starting today, Afro Deli will provide complimentary meals to federal government employees working without pay or laid off as a result of the ongoing government shutdown. We appreciate all of the hard work government employees and contractors in our community provide to our country and we are happy to offer a small token of our appreciation during this difficult time.

Summer is always our favorite season for many reasons. This year we're excited to announce our new MPLS Happy Hour promotions!

Starting June 11th, we will be offering new promotional bowls of your favorite entrees for $5! This promotion is only valid after 5pm daily at our Stadium Village location.

We're honored to be recognized by the City Council of Saint Paul as one of their 2018 Business Award winners! We know of at least three of our Afro family who nominated us and we want to take the time to thank everyone for their part in this award.

At Afro Deli, we love sharing food and culture with everyone. We're always looking for ways to connect with even more people and we're excited to announce our upcoming Instagram contest. Starting on Monday, September 25th, we will be giving out a $25 gift card each week to someone in our Afro family that shares their delicious photos. Just dine, snap, and share — it’s that easy. 

We’re proud to continue growing as a company because it means we can reach even more people. One of the ways we have been exploring for the last two years is the grab-and-go products. We’ve been proud to partner with Hudson Group over the last year and now we would like to offer a complete grab-and-go experience.
