The…read moreowner's wife served me and I had the menimen, a coke (I had too much coffee already) and a sobiyet for dessert. I had seen someone a couple of months ago eating the menemen and she recommended it. The Menemen came in a brass serving dish bubbling hot and smelling wonderful with a nice piece of toasted baguette on the side. The dish has peppers, onions, tomatoes, two poached eggs and lots of cheese and spices. It was absolutely delicious, I can't quite identify the spices, but the whole dish was tasty and filling. I would have licked the dish clean if I were at home, but I wasn't going to embarrass myself in public. This will be my new brunch item in the future. Sobyiet is baklava with a creamy cheese filling and I could eat 6 or 7 if I wasn't watching my weight. Normally, I would have turkish coffee but as mentioned earlier I already had too much coffee at home that AM. I like to eat here about once a month when I'm in the area and I love the place. The people there are very pleasant and helpful and will offer samples. Many of the other patrons are Turkish and go there with children for brunch. It's worth a stop to try cuisine not nornally seen in Denver.

Later this year I went there a few weeks back and got 2 plates of chicken shawarma and the meat was burnt and dry the rice was on the colder side and the plates are TINY! I still enjoyed the nostalgic feeling of eating their food like I did during high school and it brings back good memories and I really love this business and hope them the best but I wish they do better in the future down the road.

The atmosphere is relaxed, I enjoy the lighting as it's more of a gentle glow rather than bright lights in your face. It feels open and chill.

I had been hearing about Jerusalem for years. In Denver, it has that kind of local-legend status…read morewhere if you have lived here long enough, especially anywhere near DU, people talk about it like it is both a restaurant and a formative life experience. And yet in nearly twenty years of living here, I had never actually gone. Which is absurd, because it is maybe no more than ten minutes from my house. So a few weeks ago, I finally made the effort. First surprise: there is a parking lot. This alone deserves acknowledgment in this busy part of town. Second surprise: the parking lot appears to contain roughly 6.7 parking spaces. I got lucky and managed to squeeze into what felt like 1.3 of them. It is not so much parking as a close encounter. Then you notice the outdoor plastic tent seating setup, which I assume exists because inside there is room for approximately 13.4 people, which feels statistically consistent with the parking situation. The whole thing has a kind of orderly chaos to it. But from the second I walked in, the feeling was one of warmth. Really warm. Before I could even properly take in the giant glass cases full of baklava and other Middle Eastern sweets, I was greeted enthusiastically. The menu hangs above the cases, and the man taking orders, who I assume was the owner or a relative, had exactly the kind of energy that makes a place feel beloved. When I asked if he was ready to take my order, he smiled and said, "I'm always ready." It was funny, kind, and genuinely charming. I ordered baba ghanouj, hummus, fattoush, and a lamb shawarma sandwich to go. It was around 4:30 pm, which may have been a strategic masterstroke on my part because the place seemed a bit quiet. I actually got a seat while I waited, which felt like winning a small lottery. Another very friendly younger guy brought me my order out, and the service from start to finish was excellent. Truly. I left thinking, okay, I get why people love this place. Then I got home. I unpacked everything like I was settling in for a very specific kind of evening: random Netflix, adult beverage, no plans, full commitment to carbohydrates and emotional detachment. There I was, alone with my feast, ready for the Denver legend to reveal itself. And to their credit, they had included a whole bag of pita with the dips, which made me feel briefly rich. Then came the first uh-oh. The pita was dry and brittle. Not stale, exactly. Just structurally unsound. This was not pita with confidence. This was pita that had already given up on itself. It was simply not up to the task of being dragged through hummus and baba with gusto. The baba ghanouj was very smooth and only faintly smoky. Perfectly decent, but not my favorite take on it. I like baba with a little more personality, a little more drama, maybe a little more of that "yes, an eggplant absolutely died for this" energy. This one was polite. The hummus followed the same pattern. Smooth, fine, edible, but lacking the depth and garlic I wanted. Again, not bad. Just muted. It tasted like it was trying not to offend anyone, including people who do not especially like hummus. The one standout was the fattoush. Fresh, bright, and by far the best thing I ate. That was the dish that had some lift. It did not include the toasted pita I usually expect in fattoush, and I missed that crunch, but it still had the most life of anything in my order. Then I went for the lamb shawarma sandwich, and this is where things turned from mildly disappointing to physically illustrative. I picked it up, and the sandwich immediately started falling apart. Meat and sauce began leaking out like the whole structure had been assembled on hope and optimism. The lamb itself was fine, but overall it was bland. Not aggressively bad. Just not remotely worth the hype. And that is where I decided: I liked the people more than the food. Jerusalem has charm. The service was genuinely kind. The owner seemed lovely. It feels local in a real way, and I want places like this to thrive. I can absolutely imagine that for college kids, especially hungry ones near DU, this place hits exactly right. Big plates, convenient location, late-ish hours, comforting reputation, and probably some nostalgia mixed in. I like that. But sometimes the college kids are just wrong. Or maybe not wrong exactly. Maybe just young. Maybe this is less about quality and more about palate, timing, appetite, or being twenty-one and convinced that proximity to campus plus a full stomach equals greatness. That is a beautiful stage of life. I support it. But my middle-aged ass was at home with Netflix, evaluating bread integrity and garlic depth, and from that vantage point, Jerusalem just was not for me. So: three stars. Very kind service. Real neighborhood character. A warm and welcoming experience. But food-wise, not enough flavor, not enough texture, and not enough reason for me to head back anytime soon.

Then, I settled in for a mid-day nap, because it took 37 minutes to get the food. If you have a job, a hobby, or a pulse, you might want to skip this one. The real magic happened when I got home: * The Bread Vanished: Apparently, "plates" here don't include pita or flatbread. Is this a low-carb cult I didn't sign up for? * The Gyro Ghost: Serving a gyro plate with no yogurt dip is like buying a car with no tires--technically it exists, but it's not going anywhere. Unforgivable. The food was "passable," but in no universe is "passable" worth a 37-minute sentence in a waiting room. The fries were actually the highlight, but you can find a decent spud at any frozen-aisle air fryer enthusiast's house in under ten minutes. I was looking for a "special" hidden gem; I found an expensive way to be disappointed.

I don't grasp their love of ketchup...is ketchup a popular French condiment? They put it on every plate. (Turned out that it was necessary to moisten the dry hash browns.) Two of us at our table had choking fits while we ate. My greatest complaint -- Cafe de France IS NOT ADA ACCESSIBLE! There is no ADA parking anywhere near this business. Their double doors are extremely heavy and the youngster serving as host just stood at his podium and watched me struggle to get my walker through those doors...and the place wasn't even busy yet. When I told him the name of the group I was joining, he just kept repeating, "How many in your party?" When I realized that he didn't speak English, I just proceeded to find my group on my own. Upon exiting the room where my group had gathered, I saw that the place was packed for lunch...so packed, that I couldn't maneuver my walker through the crowd to get to the door. A couple of patrons had to get up out of their chairs and move furniture to allow me to pass and they were annoyed by my audacity when I said, "Excuse me, please." The cherry on top...I had the trots for several hours last night. As that was my only meal yesterday, I am drawing my own conclusions on the origin of that.
