Due to the rainy day, I found myself in Independence, MO for my kids to play indoor pickleball vs…read more outdoors. Using Yelp to find a healthy lunch for myself and some fellow pickleball moms, I came across Jerusalem Cafe. It was super close to the venue, I could order online, and it had some delicious looking options. Plus in addition to the great reviews, I saw a local family enjoying their Jerusalem Cafe order which cemented my decision. I went with a Greek Salad + Chicken Gyro for myself and ordered a "Build a Bowl" for one friend and another Greek Salad another friend. I also ordered a hummus with veggies for us to share. Everything was ready for pick-up when I arrived. Service was friendly and I found the pricing to be fair - especially for the large portions. It was around $45 total for all of the above. We enjoyed everything we ordered as well as the pita it came with. Was it the best I've ever had? No. Was it perfect for the occasion. Absolutely. I would definitely consider ordering from here again or even dining in as the restaurant is fast casual, offers plenty of parking, and appeared clean. Thanks Jerusalem Cafe!

We've been there twice. It was not good either time, yet they got busy as we stayed. Why? My wife…read moresaid the burnt ends were inedible. My pulled pork was passable, but I've had many better. But maybe worse than the middling-to-bad food was the very poor service. I almost never tip poorly, but I did on our last visit. Let's see, if you're getting busy, do you diddle around and wait until all your tables are full to bring a check to the table that is finished? The server just didn't seem to care. Oh yeah, they made a mistake with our order, and she didn't seem to care about that either. I don't know what these other people see in the place, but I won't be going back.

I ordered the Lamb Tikka Masala with the Cheese Naan and it was not what I anticipated at all…read more The lamb burst with flavors and literally melted in my mouth. There was a perfect meat to sauce ratio. Then I paired it with the basmati rice which I could have ate by itself. So much flavors I could only smile and inhale. Then we got to the Cheese Naan. It was literally cheese stuffed Naan. I dipped it in my Masala sauce and instantly regretted only getting one order. I need at least 3 moving forward. Flavor of Himalaya was excellent and reasonably priced. I'll be back.

First day of a new job Lunch!…read more New to this side of town and stopped in here for a little comfort of something I recognized. The Atmosphere - Well it was clean and tidy. Again there is little personality to most locations these days yet the functionality and the ability to clean quickly is at a premium. But, there is little about the restaurant that is comfortable or memorable. So this gets the standard 3 stars. The Staff - I had the good fortune to interact with several of the staff members this time. And ALL of them were extremely nice, kind, and friendly. They went out of their way to check on me several times and remind me that I could get a refill on my drink. They gall at the checkout even offered to bring me the desert that I had on rewards that was set to expire soon. Some of the best Customer Service I have seen in a while. - 5 stars. The Food - Well this is the number one reason to swing in. They have a number of great creations and options to pick more than one. They do let you customize a sandwich should you want. I think this is as good as it gets (unless you head to a "real" deli where YOU decide what is on the sandwich. This visit I had the Pick 2 (which is common) where I had a fantastic Club sandwich and a Chef salad. Pretty healthy over all. (I used extra dressing and ate brookie bites so scratch the healthiness). 4 stars Overall - This was a fantastic visit to an old favorite. The food could have just a little more wow... and by now you all know how I feel about the clean/institutional look and feel of eateries. A perfect lunch space. I'll be back often as they are good, healthyish, and close.

Since I live in Raytown (where they have a very nice Hy-Vee) I seldom visit the 40 Highway Hy-Vee…read morestore location, but I am always impressed when I walk in the doors. It seems to be Hy-Vee on steroids as far as size and mass of merchandise choice. However, today, I want to compliment their Salad Bar. DD#1 and I were working out at Planet Fitness and our poor planning allowed both of us to neglect having anything to eat before our session, so we were pretty hungry by the time we walked out the door. It turns out Hy-Vee has a very well stocked Salad Bar. All the fruits and veggies were super fresh and there were an excellent selection of 'add-ons' and at least eight types of salads, such as pea salad, broccoli salad, potato, macaroni as well as several others. Protein sources were plentiful, as well, and included julienned ham, sliced grilled chicken breast, hard boiled eggs and more than one type of shredded cheese as well as red kidney and garbanzo beans. The only minor down side of our experience was that they had neglected to put more dinner size plates out after the lunch rush and, although, another diner pointed that out to a deli employee, no large plates ever appeared during the time we were there. Not a huge problem and I would definitely go to the salad bar again one of these days.

The pad Thai was just noodles and lack lister sauce and chicken, very few scallions and like a teaspoon of chopped peanuts. It lacked flavor and was one of the worst executed i have had. The restaurant was confusion of a sombrero on wall italian stucco, italian dusty grapes and Christmas bells... and that was just on one booth. Service was meh. I would move on unless this place can get it together.

Wish I'd taken a picture of the food. Next time. I had pork with vegetables that were cut up in smaller pieces than most which I like. The crab rangoon and eggroll were good. I took a few bites of lo mein. That was excellent. I don't usually get it, but I'm going to try this next time. Tasty noodles that were cooked perfectly. They also have a Thai fried rice. I haven't tried yet. It was nice to sit in there, but this would be a good carryout place also.

A hidden gem I didn't expect!…read more I recently visited Café Verona in Independence, MO, and it was a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxing meal. The pasta was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I also tried the sangria, and it was one of the highlights of my visit. It was refreshing, well-balanced, and paired perfectly with the meal. The service was friendly and attentive, making the overall dining experience even better. If you're looking for a great spot for authentic Italian food, delicious drinks, and a comfortable atmosphere, Café Verona is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!

Cafe Verona should be on more people's radar when it comes to Italian food in KC. Plus, it's nice to get a drink next door at the Sentinel before you head in for a delicious dinner. P.S. I ask for their vodka rosa sauce with the fettuccine noodles with the chicken parm and it will blow your mind.
