It's small but deserves more business, they were friendly and helpful. Our meals were delicious. I even order some for later since I was headed to work. Next time I'm going to try the baklava, was too full last time. If you like Mediterranean food, can't recommend enough. It's a small, cozy spot. It's across from acme so it's in a small plaza. I thought I took pics, sorry about that.

My 6-year-old picked up a bag of lentils, looked at it for a moment, and put it right back on the shelf. Nothing was opened, nothing was damaged, and there was no mess or problem at all.Instead of speaking to us as the parents, he snapped at my little child directly in a harsh and intimidating tone. My child got scared, embarrassed, and ended up crying for a long time afterward. There is absolutely no excuse for talking to a small child like that over something so minor.At that moment, I chose not to argue with him because I did not want to upset my child even more or make the situation worse. Based on his attitude, it also seemed almost impossible to have a reasonable conversation. Because of this entire experience, I am giving this store 1 star. I especially would not recommend this place to families with young children.

I usually do few reviews, and only do reviews on a first visit if a.) someplace was really, really…read morebad. Or b.) if someplace was extraordinarily good. I'm glad to report that Jerusalem Food Imports (JFI) falls in the latter category. Hungry for Mediterranean food and having tried all the other local destinations, I gave JFI a try. Boy, am I glad I did. JFI is a specialty market with a kitchen on the left side with a full takeout menu. No space for seating, but I'm working from home, so I was just doing a buy and fly anyway. I was in a chicken shwarma mood, so I ordered one. If you can't tell by the picture, it is monstrous. It looked like they used about a pound of chicken when preparing it. Add in a side of fries (which I didn't know came with it and really didn't want) for $5.99, and you have enough for two meals unless you're extremely hungry. Ate half and saving the other for dinner. It's much tastier than comparable sandwiches (specifically Ghossain's), with the requisite picked veggies and tahini sauce. They also had a complete selection of meat pies, chicken pies and spinach pies. I picked up a spinach pie for $1.99 for later. I also picked up a pint sized tabbouleh for $5.99, where competitors charge $4.99 for 8 ounces. I did try some of it and it's very tasty and fresh. I look forward to trying some kibbeh and hummus next time. K'nafa practically next door is good too. But if you're looking for a lot of food at a tremendous value, give JFI a try. The gentlemen working there couldn't have been nicer, and even offered to include some water without asking. I hope to get the word out on this hidden gem. Give them a try if you like Mediterranean food.

I used to really enjoy this restaurant, but it has unfortunately gone downhill. One of the biggest…read moredisappointments is the hummus. It used to be fresh, creamy, and flavorful--the kind of hummus that kept me coming back. Now it has a thin, watery, almost slop-like consistency with very little flavor. It tastes as though corners are being cut, whether by changing ingredients or rushing the preparation. For a Middle Eastern restaurant, the hummus should be one of the signature items, and it's disappointing to see such a noticeable decline in quality. It's frustrating when a place that once took pride in its food starts sacrificing quality to save money or reduce effort. I genuinely hope the owners return to the original recipe and standards because this restaurant used to be one I enthusiastically recommended. Right now, it's hard to justify coming back when the food that made it special is no longer the same. Staff is amazing and nice.
