Our Story
In 1979, the Ansari brothers from Jerusalem created and established the Mediterranean Cruise Cafe in Eagan, Minnesota. After years of working together, some of the brothers left the business to pursue other endeavors. From then, Jamal Ansari has dedicated his life and love to the business.

With their strong Mediterranean heritage behind them, Jamal and his sons have created many original delicacies from Jerusalem, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, Italy, Turkey and Greece.
Not only is the Mediterranean Cruise noted for its food, it is also known for its unique belly dancing entertainment Thursdays through Sundays.
With years of hard work, the Mediterranean Cruise has been recognized as the one of the top restaurants in the Twin Cities.
