My husband and I have been dining her for over 20 years. We love the food and decor. The combo we always order is more than enough food for us and it is priced right. It has a taste of all the appetizers and a choice of main meats. We love it. Thanks Jerusalem.
One of our favorite Middle Eastern Restaurants. Their combo for 2 or 4 is a fantastic deal with lots of appetizers and enough main course items that 3 people can eat their combo for 2 and still be full. Good service, fresh and tasty food. Have been there many times and continue to go back.
Friday and Saturday nights are super busy so expect to wait anywhere from 10 minutes to more than half an hour for a table
Fresh hummus, legendary fried tomatoes and comforting lentil soup – what else can you ask for from a restaurant? The prices are reasonable and the portions are hefty to boot. Jerusalem is a neighbourhood staple, so be sure to book ahead if you you’re looking for a weekend dinner, because everyone is there, and you wouldn’t want to miss out.
