This chicken is so good and flavorful...but the rice underneath was really the star. It was so delicious. I also got the spicy hummus and the roasted potatoes. Tbh, I didn't really care for the roasted potatoes. I didn't like the texture. But the hummus was delicious. The pita bread was so soft and fresh. The garlic and spicy garlic sauces were just perfection. This place has been in my area for a while now and to be honest, the only reason I hadn't gone is because the chicken is served only by half's and I really don't care for legs and thighs so I just figured it would be a waste, but I shared some with my family member who isn't too particular about the dark meat chicken and they enjoyed it as well. The lady who waited on me in the front was so sweet and explained all the sides to me as a first time patron. I can't wait to return. I'm going to be super greedy and order even more pita. read more

Jerusalem Chicken - It doesn't photograph well but trust, it's GOOD! - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I understand the hype now! The chicken is so moist and flavorful here. It is my go to spot if I am craving some middle eastern flavors (with chicken as my protein) in a takeout order. Original Chicken - Stuffed with rice and other bits. It is a classic and the most flavorful. It is on the saucy side with spices but the chicken is super tender. Emsakhan - Dry roasted chicken with sumac. Still moist but not as tender as the original. It also has a more crispy exterior vs the original. For sides, I like the cauliflower salad. The baba ganoush is excellent and the hummus is solid. I don't care for any of their side sauces so I just get the tahini. Fried Cauliflower - Must get but beware it is on the heavier side. It's not in the trendiest or fanciest part of town but works perfectly fine for takeout. There is a small parking lot. read more

Love the food here. I always try something new and am never disappointed. The chicken is always perfectly cooked. I love the roasted cauliflower side. The falafel is always fresh and very good too. The staff is always so helpful and kind, and often throw in little extras. read more

Really enjoyed the original chicken (1/2) stuffed with rice, ground beef and mushrooms. Chose the cauliflower and eggplant (surprisingly fried and yummy) and hummus sides. The chicken is swimming in sauce (very tasty) but be warned, it's messy! Didn't love the chicken pita sandwich. The chicken itself was very dry and the hummus and banana peppers made everything soggy. (See photo). Easy free parking out front (in the street), and in the mini mall itself. read more

I got the Emsakhan half chicken plate. The chicken was... outstanding. Super tender and moist and covered with a very flavorful smothering of caramelized onions and sumac. It was served on a bed of rice. Normally, I don't care about rice because it's too plain and boring but this rice was really tasty. It was soaking in some kind of broth-oil type concoction (maybe just the jus/olive oil from the chicken or onions which was on top of the rice?). You also get to pick two sides from, like, 20 different sides. It's nice to have so many choices--both cold and hot. I got a cold cauliflower salad which had a lot of parsley and zucchini and other stuff too (it was fine... not my favorite) and then some hot bean dish, which was very flavorful. You also get a nice pita bread (one of the thick ones, not the really skinny ones which are mostly pocket). Lastly, I got some of the spicy garlic sauce which was super flavorful to dip different things in. Overall, everything had a lot of flavor. And there is definitely a lot of repeatability at this place because you could get a totally different flavor chicken and different sides and you would still get a great quality neal. It was definitely a hefty amount of food (I couldn't finish it for lunch!). I definitely recommend checking this place out. Also the woman helping me out was very friendly. read more

AMAZING Palestinian halal food!!! I grew up eating my best friend's mom's Middle Eastern (Egyptian) cooking and everything I had here reminded me of her flavorful, comforting dishes. My friends and I had no idea Jerusalem Chicken existed until we parked right in front of it to go to another restaurant. The sign and aroma wafting from the door snagged our attention. Since we were a little early for our reservation, we took a peak inside to check out what this place has. They specialize in making the juiciest chicken I have ever sunk my teeth into, along with Middle Eastern sides such as tabouleh, hummus, falafel, cauliflower salad, kubbah, sumac fries, fried eggplant, Jerusalem rice and pita. I got the Original Chicken plate to go for $21.99, which comes with a half baked chicken stuffed with rice, mushroom and ground beef with a choice of two sides. I opted for the cauliflower salad and spicy hummus. As soon as I pierced my fork into the crispy skin, juice bursted out and the meat was so tender and flavorful in an outstanding lemon garlic sauce. The cauliflower salad was mixed with garbanzo beans, zucchini and onion and was roasted and seasoned to perfection. The spicy hummus was smooth and the spiciest I've ever had aside from the spicy hummus I make. The pita bread came right out of the oven and was thick and fluffy. Not a whole lot of ambience here. It's more of a fast food set up where you order at the cash register and pick what you want by seeing what's available. So happy I stumbled upon this place and wish it was closer to me. I'd be here all the time! read more

Great local Palestinian halal food in LA!! I feel like this place is comparable to Sababa in Anaheim. I got the chicken shawerma pita and it was fantastic. There were plenty of seats outside and inside and the service was fast and fresh. The pita was super filled, I got everything in it and loved the chicken, spicy hummus, and the pickles. I want to come back and try the bowls as well and they actually have a ton of menu items so I'll be interesting in trying it out. Love how its Palestinian and the logo has a keffiyah on it. It has its own parking lot so parking is free, but if it gets busy I'm sure it can fill up. Came with my friends and one of them got a beef shawerma bowl and the other got the lemon garlic chicken plate and it looked really good! The only negative is that it is quite pricey read more

Wahhh flavors with heft (the bag), they give to your taste buds and stomach. This is one of my favorite places west of Downtown or toward Inglewood. They give you a good amount of food for the price, puts fast food to shame. For $20-22, you get two sides, half a chicken with rice, bread, and choice of two sauces/dips. The stuffed chicken is very juicy and the bread absorb the juice nicely. I like the mushroom and ground beef infused with the rice inside the chicken, it taste very well together. The lemon chicken can be a bit dry when you get it near closing but it's so good that I don't mind. Very savory and tangy, it's hard to stop eating. I really like their potato salad, it's not mayo-based, but a vinaigrette-like taste with flat leaf parsley. A great palate cleanser with a light taste, it keeps every bite of chicken refreshing. The spicy hummus has a nice roasted mild spicy twist to it, highly recommended. The regular hummus is just as good, creamy and thick. The eggplant is pretty good with a deep roasted nutty flavor but it can be a bit oily (taste like olive oil so I'm not complaining). Roasted onions and potatoes is a good alternative to potato salad. They taste opposite of each other, where the roasted one tastes like a home oven-roasted side. The cauliflower fritters are great! Very tasty and goes well with their sauces. The mint drink is also very refreshing, goes well with their baklava. I like all the sides here, just down to personal preference. I would recommend getting contrasting sides like a salad/pickled one versus a roasted/fried one to balance the taste. I get this every time in near LAX or SoFi stadium, the family workers are very nice and accommodating (like letting us have both hummus). The inside is cozy but small, however it's perfect to eat right outside at the public tables (area is clean). read more

Jerusalem chicken makes some really tasty chicken. We had ordered it for pickup! They are very fast and efficient. The spot is chill and laidback. The chicken itself has a lot flavor and you can taste the freshness of everything. Highly Recommend -If you get one thing make it the Chicken Pita Sandwich with Banana peppers, onion and pickles 4.5/5 -The Lemon Garlic Half Chicken with spicy hummus and Salata 4/5 I just wish they had more chicken breast options as that's what I usually prefer. Jerusalem chicken is a solid chicken option and I can't wait to go back. read more

When my boyfriend and I were craving some Palestinian food, we took to Uber Eats to see if there were any near by, luckily there was! We both ordered the lemon + garlic chicken with rice combo with different sides, however everything was exquisite! The chicken? Juicy with the rice amount of seasoning. The rice? Happiness in every grain. The salata? Amazing. The spicy hummus? Hmm don't even get me started on the hummus. So yummy! No, seriously, soooooo freaking good! Everything on that plate had FLAVOR! If you're in the area, or if you stumble upon it online, please do yourself a favor and order from Jerusalem Chicken. You won't be disappointed :) read more

Saw an Instagram reel about this place so we gave it a try! We got the lemon garlic chicken and falafel! So flavorful and every aspect of the dish had careful attention to detail. The rice had caught all the flavor of the chicken and was so delicious. Chicken was tender and fall off the bone with flavor. The cucumber salad was good. Hummus solid. The falafel were solid and not too dry. They don't skimp on the portions either! We will be back! read more

This place has lovely Middle Eastern food. It's located in a strip mall with ample parking. I ordered the lemon herb chicken with a chicken roll and hummus. My total was 20 dollars and I received half a chicken! It came with the 2 sides but they have a variety of sides to choose from. Chicken is bold, tender, seasoned and cooked perfectly. I love the sauces and spices used. I appreciate the flavor profile. My hummus was yum and the chicken roll was nice. It also came with rice. This meal is very filling. You can split between 2 people because they give you a lot. Service was friendly, respectful and kind. I will come again and try other things on their menu. This was definitely a win for me. read more

This was my first time trying this place out and OMG... The chicken was succulent and full of flavor. The skin added more roasted flavor to every bite.

Oh, the green hot sauce was the right amount of heat and acid too. Just freaking delicious! read more

Jerusalem Chicken - Lemon garlic chicken with potatoes and onions and hummus. Soooo Freaking Delicious! - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I knew it was gonna be good because when we pulled up a famous TikToker was coming in very excited. He recommended the lemon garlic chicken and I'm so glad I listened to him! I also highly recommend the cauliflower and the baba ghanoush. I ordered steak fries thinking they were just going to be the big thick french fries but it was actually fries with steak on top. Fries were okay but not as good as the chicken. The tahini is delicious. Chicken is cooked thoroughly marinated heavily and pretty much just fell off the bones and I'm not someone who likes to eat chicken on the bones. read more

Tasty food, very friendly service and clean establishment! I got the chicken stuffed with rice, ground beef and mushroom plate.

What I Ordered: -Lemon and Garlic Chicken with Rice, Spicy Hummus and Regular Hummus 1/2 of each, potato salad and a pita $19.99 -Cauliflower Fritters $7.99 I was watching random videos on Youtube and came across a video of someone going to Jerusalem Chicken and I was intrigued. The Cauliflower Fritter and Chicken plates looked insanely delicious. I knew that I wanted Siri's Original which is the chicken stuffed with rice and mushrooms, but I asked the staff there about what's the most popular chicken dishes and I was told the lemon garlic chicken was the most popular chicken dish. I opted to change my order to the lemon and garlic chicken with half spicy hummus and regular hummus with a side of potato salad. It comes with pita. The Lemon and Garlic Chicken was fantastic! That's not an understatement. The chicken was seasoned well and so flavorful! It came on top of a bed of rice. I felt like the rice was a bit rice. It could have been due to the juices of the chicken, but I don't think that was the case. I would have liked the rice to be more fluffy. The potato salad was different than other potato salads that I've had before with a strong herbs taste, but it was quite nice. I like it! When I was asking the staff which hummus was better. They offered the option of half and half. The lady in line behind me chimed in to get the spicy hummus and how its the best spicy hummus she's ever had. She wasn't wrong the spicy hummus was legit. So was the regular version. I really like the option to get both. It's the best of both worlds. The pita was disappointing. It wasn't hot or warm for that matter. It didn't taste super fresh more like something you would get in a package from the grocery store. I was dipping it in the hummus to make it taste better. I still feel the pita feel short of my expectations. The Cauliflower Fritters were good, but they weren't super fresh. When I ordered it, I noticed they were sitting out on top of a paper towel to soak up the oil. I asked the staff, is it fresh? and he said it was. I was kind of a fool to not insist for a fresh order, but I don't want to be that pain in the butt customer. Fried food that's not fresh is often soggy. This was the case of the cauliflower fritters. It wasn't very busy when I came in for a late lunch on a weekday. I feel like they had time to fry me up a new order especially when I was getting a full side. I really want to try this again, but I wouldn't get a cold and soggy fritter again. I highly recommend that you get the lemon and garlic chicken with the spicy/regular hummus and the potato salad. You cannot go wrong with this order. I would ask for a fresh order of cauliflower fritters and some warm pita especially if the line is not too long. The staff was very attentive and friendly. One of the guys who I assumed was the owner and boss came over to check in with me ask how I liked it. I will still say 5/5 because that chicken tho. This portion size is humongous. I'm a pretty big guy and I was so full they should have carted me out in a wheelbarrow. You can definitely share this order amongst two people. I only ate one Cauliflower fritter. I didn't even finish the pita because it wasn't so fresh tasting. That gives you an idea of big the portion sizes are. I can't wait to come back here. I'm salivating just thinking about that lemon and garlic chicken. You must come here and try their delicious food! You won't be disappointed! read more

I had Jerusalem Chicken about 3 months ago and was excited to finally try it out based upon the reviews. I went with the lemon chicken, which was delicious...like some magical grandma was back there doing the most. Their online advertisement has misleading prices, I believe, by design. I went to their website to check out their menu, and their "menu" is written in narration form like they're getting ready to tell you a story about each item. I just want to know how much a chicken plate is. So I go online trying to find their actual menu, and Zmenu pops up with a menu from Jerusalem Chicken. Great. $10.99 for the chicken plate and $9.99 for a falafel plate. Cool. My friend and I wanted to try both, and the prices were great, so we got both plates and a side. I was stunned when the total was over $60. These meals are made with everyday ingredients. Nothing crazy special. I haven't been back since, truthfully. Just be upfront with your prices cuz that was annoying as heck...plus the wait time was ridiculous when I went, and there were hardly any customers. read more

Absolutely Delicious! The Lemon Garlic chicken was full of flavor. And the rice soaking up all that flavor tasted soooo good. The price was reasonable. read more

The raves are well-deserved!! When comfort food is this good, I don't need my preferred variety in texture or acid. The pita bread is thicker and delightfully fresh. First time here. The woman employee was so welcoming and helpful with deciding my order. Got the Garlic Lemon Chicken. For my 2 sides, spicy hummus and roasted grape tomatoes, cauliflower, garlic cloves and eggplant. Some of veggies were too oily but was olive oil. So the good kind of oily. Watch out the hummus IS spicy but great. I got used to the heat, but didn't like pepper seeds in it. The tender, mildly seasoned chicken falls off the bone! I kept eating long after my stomach was full. And with the big servings I got at least 3.5 meals! Next time I'll try the Cauliflower Fritters. They were sold out around 6:30pm on a Saturday. Some seating both inside and out. They also have Elegance Sandwich, which tastes like an elevated dark chocolate wafer bar. Not too sweet but rich chocolate and high quality ingredients. It's my mission to find these closer to home. It shares a small parking lot with a few other businesses, on corner of Slauson and Overhill Drive. Whether you're in the area or if you make a trip like me to Windsor Hills, you'll leave very happy! read more

Extremely Poor Service - Felt Discriminated Against I am a Black woman, and I visited this establishment on Tuesday, October 28, 2025. When I walked in, I was the only customer. A gentleman who was talking on his cell phone approached me. I initially thought he was another customer since he stayed on his phone, but then he asked what I wanted. I had a few questions and then placed my order. Afterward, he went behind the counter, and a Hispanic woman came out from the back. Around that time, a white male walked in -- she immediately took his order and he was served quickly. Soon after, two more white men entered, and again, she stopped to take their orders. Her English wasn't very clear, so she went to the same man who took my order to ask him questions about their order. Meanwhile, my order -- placed first -- was still not being made. Then another woman wearing light blue, with her hair covered, came in and went behind the counter. The man told her to "help me." When she approached, I kindly asked if she could wash her hands before handling my food. She pretended not to understand me, so I repeated it twice more and gestured with my hands. She clearly understood but chose to be rude. She finally said "Oh, I will," but instead of washing her hands, she asked me to repeat my order again. At that point, I told her I had already ordered and reminded her that three men who came in after me had already received their food. She still insisted I repeat my order. I decided to walk out instead. The service was disorganized, disrespectful, and discriminatory. I left feeling dismissed and unwelcome. I will not be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who values fair and respectful treatment. read more
