    CHICKEN SHAWARMA MEAL
    Sami U.

    I work close to this place so decided to stop by and grab the Chicken Shawarma Entree w/ Hummus and it was really good! Customer service is great here and your food is ready In 15 minutes Definitely recommend trying this place if you enjoy middle eastern food!

    Kefta wrap

    We were looking for a new place to eat after shopping at Fashion Outlets. We went to Halal Dz at noon and walked in, only to be told they wouldn't open till 12:30. After driving around a little we found Jerusalem Grill. Street parking was tight, but apparently there's parking in the back. The interior looks decent and is more spacious than the exterior suggests. Service was kind of non-existent, but maybe we caught them at an off-time. No one greeted or seated us, so we just grabbed a booth. I then got up and asked if we order upfront, but the guy told me he would come to our table shortly. There were also no napkins or cutlery at the table, so we had to ask for those after the food arrived. We ordered a kefta kabob wrap and a mixed shawarma bowl. The meat in the wrap was tasty, but the kabob quantity was small compared to the amount of bread. The shawarma bowl was also pretty good. Too much lettuce on top, but the rice and meats were good, especially after I asked for garlic sauce. Their garlic sauce tastes different than other places. The food wasn't bad, but nothing different or exceptional compared to other Middle Eastern restaurants. The bill came to $26 with tip, which is not bad at all. Decent food, good value, and relatively nice interior. Just need to work on service.

    6 years since my last review. This place does not disappoint. Stopped by this evening for a gyro bowl and still very clean place , friendly staff, and delicious food.

    I rarely get delivery and I mean like I haven't had any delivery in the past 2-3 years maybe only some pizza when it's snowing bad. But other than that I always pick up my food. This time we decided to get delivery. They didn't answer their phone at first. We then messaged them on Facebook, and they apologized and asked us to call again. They did finally answer. Their quoted delivery time was spot on. My wife ordered their chicken shawarma, and I opted for their beef shawarma with a small side of hummus. The beef was very flavorful and the rice was perfectly cooked. You definitely get a lot of food and it is very filling. The plate came with grilled onions, tomatoes and even a grilled jalapeño. I have never seen that before but it added some heat. The hummus was tasty and very inexpensive for the amount of hummus they give you. They also had some salsas. I did not care for these. One tasted odd, and the other was like Louisiana sauce or Tabasco. Whatever it was, it definitely doesn't belong on Mediterranean food. I wouldn't mind returning.

    Shawarma sandwich

    After multiple Google searches for a chicken gyro, we ended up a Jerusalem grill. They didn't have such thing on their menu, " it doesn't hurt to ask we thought" We asked for a chicken gyro? Or chicken on pita? The cashier seemed confused when the cook approached us and simply said " I got you" OMGGGGG he wasn't lying this sandwich? Wrap? Pita pouch? Whatever you want to call was DELICIOUS!! So flavorful he did not disappoint at ALL. Shoutout to the cook working on 12/22 at 7:30ish! Please put this on your menu it's MOUTH watering. I'm so full yet already planning on my return for that specific dish. Also - excellent staff! Very friendly

    I was looking for a place to eat this afternoon after getting my haircut. I found Jerusalem Grill on Narraganset just south of Belmont Ave. I ordered the beef & lamb shawarma w/onions, pickles & a few slices If tomatoes. All of this came on a bed of hummus. The food was kind of middle of the road. It was tasty, but nothing exceptional. The lamb & Beef was over cooked and very salty as was the hummus. The food was a bit pricy for lunch ($11.99 + tax $13 & change) Nice restaurant, very friendly people, decent food but nothing exceptional (too salty).

    Awesome place. It has parking in back. Food is great. Customer service is top. Very clean. Treatment given is VIP. You gotta try their Kenafeh (grilled cheese dessert)

    Stylish Fulton Market Brunch with Great Food and Service…read more Booked brunch for two on OpenTable at Aba in Fulton Market, and it's easy to see why this spot is so popular. The space is beautiful--open, bright, full of natural light, and stylish without feeling overdone. We ordered the Short Rib Shakshuka, which was flavorful with just a hint of spice and a generous portion size. The warm, soft pita served alongside was perfect for dipping. The Steak and Eggs was also excellent--the steak and eggs were cooked perfectly, and the fried potatoes were a standout: crispy on the outside while still moist and tender inside. Portion sizes were just right. We also tried both of the recommended brunch cocktails, and they were strong, flavorful, and well balanced. Service from Mike was great--friendly, efficient, and attentive throughout the meal. Overall, Aba delivered a polished and enjoyable brunch experience. Highly recommend, and based on what we tasted, I'd absolutely come back to try dinner.

We ordered the grilled chicken kebab along with the tuna and watermelon. The chicken was moist and well-cooked, but the tuna and watermelon dish was disappointing. There was no watermelon at all, and the seasoning was overwhelmingly salty. The cucumber and mint spritz was refreshing, but the bartender was new and not very attentive. Overall, the experience fell short of expectations.

As typical for a counter serve, this facility is no thrills but it's kept very clean and the service is straightforward and great.

We've tried both the Chicken Kabob Plate and the Kifta Kabob Plate and both were fantastic.

This place is a local gem: simple, quick, casual, but packed with flavor. The falafel is crispy crunchy and herby served with two sauces (the red is bright and spicy - my fav), and you can see that juicy shawarma rotating in the window as you pass. Though unassuming on the outside, this place serves yummy Lebanese food at high ROI. Of the two shawarma plates I tried, I fancy the beef, but I tend to lean beef. The chicken was clean and flavorful. The hummus is creamy and delicious and the plates are served with a balsamic fresh salad on the side. The guys behind the counter are working hard and if you're picking food up to-go, you're likely in and out of line with hot fresh food in under 10 minutes. Definitely a spot to try if you've never had shawarma or Falaffel, or need a quick bite while on your lunch break. Also wouldn't be a bad late night snacky

I called them because I wasn't sure if the online version would be too slow. We were a group of three that came in Saturday night at 7 pm. It was moderately busy. The staff were all welcoming with smiles on their faces and attentiveness. Prices were fair for the amount of food you receive. Food portions are colossal so I would recommend one appetizer and one entree if you are a couple. They give you a complimentary dish. We ordered arayes with meat, meat toshka, mixed grill with baba ghanouj, fillet of basa fried, and mint lemonade. They also offer you fresh Arabic coffee before you leave. This is about a 4.5-5. -arayes with meat 4 - this was not bad. It's like a tamer version of the meat toshka. -meat toshka 5 - I prefer this over the arayes because they add the Syrian cheese. This one was bursting with flavor the moment you took a bite out of it. The minced beef and lamb just melt in the mouth. -mixed grill 5 - this came with 3 big skewers (shish kabab, kufta kabab, and chicken tawook. It also has tomatoes and onions to help cut down the meat when digesting. There are two heaping portions of biryani and saffron rice and baba ghanouj. The baba ghanouj was creamy and flavorful. It goes well with the pita bread. The meats were cooked medium well unless you want something. I think next time I'll ask for the shish kababs to be cooked medium rare or medium for a more juicy taste. The chicken tawook and kufta were both succulent. -fillet of basa fried 5 - the two pieces of basa fillet were astronomical. It also comes with two different kinds of rice. The fish was flaky, moist, and seasoned. Make sure you add the lemon and eat it with the sauce. -mint lemonade 5 - this was very refreshing after eating a heavy meal.
