Fresh organic foods sourced from local farms.... What more could you ask for? Perfectly seasoned, expertly balanced, I could eat here every day and not get bored of it. You can even taste the quality in the olive oil they use. The dining area was way bigger than I expected for this hole in the wall and it tastefully decorated with Mediterranean relics. Abundant seating, both indoor and outdoor, with pleasant music throughout the building. I will 100% be dining here again next time we visit Greensboro read more

If you like Mediterranean food this is the place for you. Ordered the combo plate with chicken, babagahnous, rice and pita. Chicken was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of spices. The baba was even better. I'm really spoiled from a place back in Skokie and don't really like baba anywhere else, but theirs was fantastic. Highly recommend. read more

Jerusalem Market On Elm - Kifta - Mediterranean Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Cute ambiance with old pics of Israel. Very nice man took our order, overly helpful and pleasant. We got the shawarma and Armenian wrap with a dipping sauce of hummus, with homemade fries too. The hummus and fries were great. The flavors in the wrap were good, just not in our flavor pallet. I still recommend this place to try out. read more

The chicken kebab wrap was juicy and so well seasoned. Covered in that sauce, it was savoriness balanced with tang. The tissue thin crispy chips provided a good contrast every few bites. I just wish I had more of this wrap cause it was good. But a good portion if you want something that doesn't feel heavy. House-made hot sauce- not too spicy, packs a tiny punch, but keep it on the side if you're sensitive to spice. They have seating in the front but also a really big dining area in the back with ice filtered water to fill up yourself. read more

OH MY GOSH this place blew my mind!!! The food was beyond delicious - my mouth is watering just thinking back on my visit here. Wow, so good! I was working in Greensboro and a friend recommended we eat lunch here and I am so glad we did. Oh, I can't wait to go back. I ordered (by recommendation from my friend and the friendly staff member) the Shawerma Wrap. The meat was juicy and flavorful, the tahini sauce was refreshing, the greens were fresh, and the wrap was so tasty and had great texture. The seating area is in the back and opens up really nicely. The big windows brought in lovely natural light to the seating area. All in all, this is a great spot and I cannot wait to return. read more

I have wanted to visit this restaurant for a long time. I finally went and I;m kicking myself for not going sooner. The owner and staff are super nice. The hibiscus tea is amazing. I ordered the lamb burger special (with feta cheese and fries). I ate the whole meal. I}the burger was cooked perfectly and the fries were delicious. I don't eat fries a lot, but I ate every single one. The dining area is very cozy and there is an outdoor area. They have a water station and items for sell. I will be a regular. This was one of the best lunches I've had in a while. read more

I have to say I didn't expect that much out of a Middle Eastern place in Greensboro NC. I arrived to find the ambiance surprisingly Christmas-y (I guess there are Christians from that part of the world). Their menu promises local organic vegetables. Getting a falafel sandwich yielded a texturally magnificent creation with a thin, yet soft laffa wrap, fresh falafel, and abundant greens that certainly tasted local and organic. With the optional hot sauce and onions, it was a thoroughly flavorful lunch. Adding fries was a good decision as well, as theirs are skin on with a bit of seasoning. The hibiscus tea I asked for unsweetened, and probably would have been better if I'd sweetened it, but I'd had enough. If I were rating the bathroom, I wouldn't give them five stars. However, the reality is that I'll tell the reader the same thing I told the people working here: I just visited Jerusalem for the first time recently, and if you'd handed me this food there instead of at Jerusalem on Elm in Greensboro NC, I would have said it was great. read more

I have always enjoyed Jerusalem Market in Downtown Greensboro. I haven't been in a little while and am glad to have returned as it was so good! I ordered the shawerma with pita chips. I opted to add hot sauce and onions as it was recommended. It one hundred percent made it delicious! When in downtown be sure to check out Jerusalem Market for delicious foods in a great atmosphere. If you come on a Friday night you may even catch live music! read more

Wonderful ambience with live music--soft sort of dinner music keyboard and cello. Comfortable interior space, live plants and windows! Great food with lots of selections. Come at closing and they may be sold out of your favorites. Tonight lamb and rice were no more. Plenty of other Mediterranean dishes, proteins and dips to choose from. Get the thin and crispy pita as apposed to the thick and chewy you'll be glad. Order at the counter, take your number to your seat and they bring your food out. Can't go wrong with chicken. read more

(4.5 stars) The mantle of best Middle Eastern in Greensboro is a matter of considerable debate, but for those seeking this type of food anywhere near downtown, Jerusalem Market should be a no-brainer. Upon entry, you'll see a drinks and dessert case and minimal seating, but don't let that dissuade you: there's a more spacious dining room in the back. It's low-key but tastefully appointed. Jerusalem Market's menu offers platters, salads, mezze (small plates), and wraps. There are plenty of vegetarian options as well as lamb/beef/chicken options plus combination plates for those who want a little bit of everything. You order at the counter and take a number back to your table. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I went with the Armenian wrap, which featured basterma (thinly sliced seasoned dried beef), provolone, baba ganoush, and cucumber yogurt with zaatar pita chips on the side. My wife was hoping for the Turk (similar but with sojouk sausage instead of beef) and upon finding they were out opted for the lamb burger on special instead. Given the day's humidity, hibiscus iced tea seemed too good to pass up. Jerusalem Market makes everything fresh, so the food understandably took a bit to arrive. However, it was well worth the wait. The basterma was salty, and the refreshing yogurt balanced it nicely. The zaatar chips were crisp and full of flavor and dangerously addictive (seriously, I could eat a bagful). My wife enjoyed the lamb burger with feta and a side salad, and we were both glad that we went with the hibiscus tea (free refills). While they may not have the huge portions of a Nazareth Bread, Jerusalem Market's prices aren't unreasonable given the downtown location. The wrap was $14 or so and the burger $16. All told, Jerusalem Market promises a healthy meal using quality ingredients and prepared with care. read more

Jerusalem Market On Elm - The Armenian wrap with zaatar pita chips. - Mediterranean Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

The food here was so spectacular. Everything was fresh and you could tell the Cook put time and effort into each dish. Inside there was seating in the front and back, including a back patio. Service was good. The person waiting on us gave us suggestions and make sure everything was taken care of. I see why this has become a Greensboro a staple. read more

We loved this spot - tiny hole in the wall. Service was chatty and friendly with plenty of recommendations. It was a nice day so we sat outside in the back patio. The food came out quickly and was delightful! Feta dip 10/10. Can't wait to make it back. It's a short walk from the Civil Rights museum if you're visiting! read more

I don't do reviews often, but this place is amazing. Went with the lamb platter. So good! read more

Jerusalem Market On Elm - Mediterranean Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

A fantabulous Middle Eastern restaurant right in the middle of the city. There are so many nice places in Greensboro, so I had high hopes, and I was not disappointed. The hummos is the best you'll find anywhere (with their special za'atar spiced pita chips). The baba ghanouj is the best I've ever had. The spinach pie and cheese pie are terrific, as well (two of my favorite things). I still need to order some of the larger plates -- they all look great. I'm very slowly going through most of the menu. They also have fancy bottled sodas -- which go really well with the food. The service and the folks who run the place are very kind and friendly. Easily one of the best places to eat in Greensboro. read more

My visits to Jerusalem Market when in town are a must, as the food is consistently flavorful and fresh, Esa and staff are always welcoming, friendly, and generous, the establishment is very clean, eclectic, with a relaxing atmosphere that welcomes peace. I will always support Jerusalem Market and hope more people do the same to enjoy flavorful, fresh, healthy foods. read more

I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. Which is what we did. We were travelling and found this on Yelp and decided go out of our way to stop by to get a "to go" order for the road. It was a Wed (before Thanksgiving) and there was one person in the place. After we ordered, she said it would be 15-20 mins to get the food. It took almost 30 mins. My bride ordered the Chicken Wrap ($12) and I ordered the Shawarma Wrap ($12). The pita wraps were super thin (never seen anything quite like it)....which made it a little more challenging to eat. The taste of the meat was just fine. They asked what we wanted for our side....we selected cucumbers (they gave us multiple options)....they were just plain cucumbers....no seasoning at all (and they ended up charging us $.50 when it certainly sounded like it would be included in our selection). read more

Fast and friendly service, with staff expressing true gratitude for your choosing to be there. I went two days in a row, and first had a chicken wrap and then a falafel wrap. Both excellent - but I will say the chicken in the wrap was particularly tender and flavorful and generous in its serving. Highly recommend! read more

I was really craving some falafel and decided to give this place a try. The man behind the counter was incredibly welcoming and helpful--he listened to what I was in the mood for and helped me navigate the menu to come up with the best option. Every tweak we made came out exactly right from the kitchen. I appreciated the extra care he took packing my drinks--he placed my cup of water and iced tea in a 4-pack holder and even wrapped them in saran wrap to prevent spills during the drive home. That kind of attention to detail goes a long way. The falafel itself was flavorful, the hummus was pretty darn good, and the homemade hot sauce had a nice kick and a great flavor. Overall, the falafel platter was decent--not amazing, but solid. I'd definitely come back for the friendly service and to try more of the menu. read more

Amazing delicious meal! I enjoyed this place the moment I walked in! They have a variety of goodies to such as baklava and date pastries as well as delicious chocolate candy bars and a selection of wines to try. They also offer a great menu with plenty to choose from even if you are looking for something healthy or are vegetarian. I enjoyed the welcoming feeling however it did take longer than expected for our food to come out. They have a great outdoor seating as well thats enclosed in the very back. The ambiance inside is very chill and relaxing good to go for lunch time to catch up with coworkers, friends or family! read more

Why has it taken me so long to visit this restaurant?! Such a hidden gem in Greensboro. I love Mediterranean food and this is near the top of my picks. Service was outstanding and friendly. I got the Amir salad and it was outstanding. Super fresh, love the dressing! The chicken was cooked perfectly. That creamy feta though! Can't wait to try other entrees on a future visit! I sat outside on the cute patio. I almost forgot I was in Greensboro. lol just a perfect afternoon! read more

Jerusalem Market On Elm - Amir Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I have a confession, despite the wide love for this restaurant, my visit last week is the first time I have ever gone. But not my first time at Jerusalem Market! I live very close to their original location out toward Sedgefield, and it's always a tasty place to stop in for fresh food. I also have no shortage of great middle eastern and Mediterranean type foods near me, so going all the way to downtown to eat just isn't something I need to do. That said, I was meeting my pop for lunch in downtown, and we both decided to give this place a shot. It's a great cafe downtown with an excellent location, situated on Elm street with several other choices. The food is made fresh to order, so unless you order something served cold, just keep in mind there's a 15-20 minute cook. This is not something I mind of course. I ordered the Armenian wrap, which is beef tenderloin with provolone, baba ghanouj, yogurt sauce and spices in one of their flatbreads. Comes with Z'atar chips, and I added a small cup of hummus for an upcharge. Personally. I'd like to see hummus come with those chips as part of the price, but it wasn't too bad. For a downtown cafe serving high quality food, prices here are reasonable. The flavor was definitely on point! Texture was excellent too, from the doughy pull of the flatbread, to the creamy sauce and baba. It was great. The Za'tar chips were crispy and spiced nicely. Dipping in the hummus, great combo. I had water to drink, but keep in mind all other beverages are bottled or canned. Dad got a nice fresh salad, chunks of feta and a chicken kabob and also enjoyed it. Overall, excellent healthy option downtown, a very nice cafe run by friendly people. read more

You will be more than pleased with this place!! It's DELICIOUS! Real ingredients, fresh flavors, everything made to perfection, and the owners are so kind. Really cute place on the inside, clean, and has outdoor seating in the back. Among all the deep-fried and frozen food you can get off Elm, do yourself a favor, and stop by Jerusalem Market instead. I'm working through trying everything on the menu, and nothing disappoints! The chicken wrap, cucumber dip and pita chips are a 10/10 lunch! read more

Fantastic, flavorful Mediterranean food, my wife and I lucked out on a night a bad was playing to make an upbeat, festive experience. Two choices of pita with the hummus, my wife had a salad and chicken plate, I had a lamb platter - all were exceptionally seasoned and flavorful, next level above your good Mediterranean food. Jerusalem Market is a curio of authentic middle eastern maps and artifacts which adorn the restaurant. Staff were happy and smiling throughout, prompt and attentive. read more

What an amazing little gem of a restaurant. Food, atmosphere and service were all overwhelmingly good! I had the Jerusalem plate, a terrific selection of appetizers that was just perfect as a meal: a spinach pie whose filling was the exact amount of tart you want from sumac surrounded by crispy-soft pastry, a satisfying pile of hummus surrounded by cucumbers, two perfect falafels and crispy zaatar-dusted pita chips for dipping and textural contrast! I asked for tahini and cucumber yogurt sauce an polished the entire plate. The hibiscus tea was also perfect and refreshing. The cafe had a great free live band the night I was there: super interesting, jazz standards with a pedal steel player thrown into the mix. I can't say enough about how friendly the owner and staff were. I felt right at home and deeply cared for. Don't miss this place if you are in Greensboro! read more

Nice. But can't keep up with the demand of Basterma. It's always on back order. Otherwise good service

This was hands done the most delicious Middle Eastern food I have ever had! The menu is marked well for vegans and/or vegetarians. The pita chips and potato salad were so good. They were both prepared differently than expected. The service was friendly and the food was just as expected. There is plenty of seating in the back for dining. There is also a smaller outdoor space for patio dining as well. read more

One word for Jerusalem Market on Elm...Stupendous!! This place nailed it on all cylinders. The food was absolutely amazing. You can tell that everything was fresh and made with love. I overheard that this was a family owned business that uses traditional family recipes. I don't think you can go wrong with anything ordered. I ordered the shawerma platter...piles of beautifully cooked lamb and beef with...salad, falafel and a side of rice pilaf. The amount of food on this platter is plenty for two. I tackled on my own, and ended up having plenty of leftovers. The server at the front counter was a true gem. He made you feel welcome and was ready to answer any questions about the menu. I love the self seating. You can choose to sit in either of their dining rooms. They also have a self serve water station that has fresh water and to-go containers for your leftovers. Such a great experience!!! read more

Great food! Good people. Parking deck only 300 feet away. Loved the potato salad. He carefully explained the menu.

A casual looking market in the middle of downtown on Elm, but in reality, a great place for Middle Eastern food in the city. I'd have to rank Jerusalem as the top 2 for Middle Eastern eats in Greensboro. The best, quality ingredients really make the dish, as well as the taste of soul that this family puts into their food. A large menu of great food - kabobs, whole plates, falafel, shawarma. Pita bread that comes with each plate and the pita crackers are pretty amazing. The hummus is some of the best, and meat is charred perfectly and still juicy. I highly recommend this GSO staple, the owners/family are as nice as can be and make sure you enjoyed their food. *don't get caught off guard by the look of size - there is a lot of indoor & outdoor seating towards the back, ad well as outdoor seating at the storefront read more

Great authentic spot in downtown Greensboro. Honestly I don't know why I hadn't been here sooner. The food was super fresh and flavorful. The staff was nice and the parking options weren't as dreadful as I thought they would be. It's in the middle-ish of downtown so there is street parking but if you cannot find a spot there, there is a parking lot not far away! read more
