Jerusalem Restaurant

This place is hands down one of the most underrated ones. Based on what I understood from asking other friends and people, this place doesn't seem appealing from the outside. But trust me, just take a leap of faith, walk in and try their food. It's mind blowing how much this place makes me miss home. I have nothing but love for the owner and the food he serves. My favorite is their lunch or dinner platters, so do try them out.

An absolute staple. Different unique sabzis daily, excellent quality food, and a healthy, nutritious, and filling meal every time. Sometimes the owner will throw in some fruit or snacks on the side as well :-) Be prepared to wait for at least 15 minutes as there is just one employee handling the cooking and serving, but it is well worth the wait. Pictured is the veggie lunch platter.

This was my go-to lunch place for 2 years! I've been here no less than 30 times. The food is always very tasty, healthy, and the lunch plate value for money can't be beat! The owner takes great care in serving and keeping the place neat! Jerusalem introduced me to middle eastern food and it's my favorite cuisine now!

I have eaten at this place twice and was pleased to find the taste so close to a comforting and satiating home-cooked meal. The flavors are so subtle and not like other random fast-food restaurant or greasy spoons. The place was single-handedly run and managed because of which one needs to be patient to be attended to. As much as like a smiling or welcoming face to plate my food, I recommend you just pretend like you don’t care about hospitality or soft skills and are there to fill your tummy with most-likely healthy food.

Fantastic food, no frills but full of flavor, the lunch specials are quite a deal and absolutely delicious. The owner/chef/waiter heard us talking about falafels and stopped by our table with a fresh batch that were amazing! Later he dropped off some watermelon as well! Just amazing hospitality! We will definitely make it out go to spot every time were in the area! Bus your own tables but make sure you don't throw out the cutlery!

Loved every bit of this meal and place! It’s cute, located near Everett on campus (perfect for uni students and staff). My friend and I went here, and the food was great. Sure, as some of the replies mentioned, the owner can be a little crabby at times. However, he’s only crabby if you show up late (and I’m talking, like, 30 minutes before closing). My friends and I made the mistake of that, came back the next day, and guess what? He was super nice. I got dolmeh, baba ghanoush, and lentil soup. Absolutely delicious. I have to try the baklava eventually, and I will be returning to try the rest of the menu!

Amazing tasty food. My husband and I did make the mistake of coming at lunch hour and it was packed, but with only one person working it wasn't a horrible wait. The portions are huge for the pita sandwiches and super filling. My husband got the lamb shish kabob and liked it a lot. The kibbeh was super tasty too. They do take card. If you come at peak, just expect a wait, but it's with it.
