    Vegetarian sandwich
    Suzanne F.

    I have been coming here for many years and it never disappoints! There is something for all tastes and dietary needs. The food is freshly made, quality ingredients and very reasonable priced. It's hard to say that anymore about restaurants after Covid. Lots of seating, no frills decor, quick service and overall great options. My favorites are their hummus and Jerusalem salad but everything is good!

    Chicken Tender Kabob Entree

    Very good! Review context: Ordered delivery, live about 2.5miles away/15 min away during the time it was delivered. This was our very first time ordering from this restaurant. What we ordered: Chicken kebab dinner that came served over yellow seasoned rice What we thought: Delicious!! Final Rating: 9/10 -- the only thing that would make this 10/10 is a fresh lettuce salad with a drizzle of evoo instead of cooked veg. It would make it feel a lot fresher and add texture. Otherwise, AMAZING!

    Good food! I came here on a Saturday night for dinner; Jerusalem Cafe is nestled on a busy street in downtown Oak Park where you can find street parking (and a super cheap parking garage nearby which is where we parked). Inside is a very humble, down-to-earth vibe with seating dispersed throughout the restaurant. There were lotsss of takeout orders and people coming & going. We opted to dine-in with our meals. The employee who took our order was very friendly and helpful! She answered all our questions. We got the chicken shawarma and chicken tender entrees, which came with rice, veggies, pita, and a small thing of hummus. If you want sauces it's 65 cents each (I got the white garlic sauce and their spicy green sauce). The meal was good; it wasn't anything out of this world but it was definitely yummy nonetheless. I wish the sauces came with the entrees. My sister got the lentil soup too; it wasn't the greatest. I think their fattoush salad would be a better addition to the entrees instead of the veggies since it's a bit more authentic that way. This was the first mediterranean place I've been to that served veggies instead of some sort of Arabic or fattoush salad on the side with their entrees - it was still good, I'm just used to having salad instead and think it fits a bit better! Overall I had a good experience here at Jerusalem Cafe.

    Berry Sensation Smoothie! Fabulous!

    Thank you, Jerusalem Cafe and UberEats. I'm home sick with Covid and all I wanted was a fresh fruit smoothie. My son ordered the combo platter plus a sandwich for tomorrow and he's thrilled too. Quick delivery. Fabulous smoothie. So fresh and cold, like arrived still icey cold! I think I'll order another for dinner.

    The food was delicious. A lot of rice. It came with a very small container of hummus which I wish would be a little more. It also came with pita bread.

    Lunch special platter

    I got the lunch special combo platter and it was OK. The chicken and rice were by far the tastiest. You go to the counter to order & it was pretty quick. Medium sized space with tables & chairs.

    Reliable decent Middle Eastern food if you don't mind the outdated tacky decor. Excellent humus!

    Not super friendly. The food was odd. The beef kabob platter did not come in a kabob style. The…read moresalad was old. The rice was more like Spanish rice. The garlic sauce was 50 cent. MOST disappointing and odd was the hummus tasted like egg, never had this experience before and I am an average connoisseur of Mediterranean foods.

    For a place in a strip mall this is pretty good to be honest. It was a lot better than the…read moreexpectations based on the looks. North Avenue Falafel is located on North Avenue of course, but it's way out west around Oak Park. Has more than just falafel here with lots of classic items. There's options for both meat eaters and vegetarians who will find lots of good things. Came in around lunch and got a combo. It's about $12 for a typical one. They also have a few cheaper lunch specials. Had to get the Falafel Platter. This is the place's signature item after all, so it had to be good, and it was. I came with eight pieces of falafel. Quite a lot for a platter at this price. Lots of good ass stuff on here. There was hummus, Jerusalem salad, pitas, and rice. Falafel is the main thing it seems, but there's actually plenty more. There's side items like salads and soups. Have to make a return trip over here some time and get some more of the falafel and some other items. It's the best at lunch when there's some specials. There's more than just falafel, with a few meaty choices, and lots of choices for vegans and vegetarians.
