Craving Mediterranean food? The combo plate will cure what ails you.
Food: Don't even open the menu. Just get the combo plate (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/eb_N5V7qKMVPB-ocxwo-Xg?select=pdbixgE0NLd_dxAjbrM-RQ, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/eb_N5V7qKMVPB-ocxwo-Xg?select=f1ZSKgfcRcWM-9jIwG53hQ) which has pretty much everything on the menu. This thing is loaded with all the goods like lamb shawarma, falafel, hummus, baba ganoush, a salad, tabouleh, a beef sausage, flavored rice, stuffed grape leaves, and delicious chicken. Everything on the platter is flavored just right with the shawarma, grape leaves, and the falafel really standing out. The meats are generally lusciously tender and bursting with grilled flavor. To top it off, the combo also comes with pita (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/eb_N5V7qKMVPB-ocxwo-Xg?select=fNbE-4VZVSsAXgC7-wwMfQ). Not too shabby, eh? I might steer clear of the desserts though. After having some amazing knafeh in Israel, I have been searching for something just as good in the States to no avail. Their version of this fried noodle/sweet and soft cheese dish was chewy and overly sweet (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/eb_N5V7qKMVPB-ocxwo-Xg?select=MbAaJI8n1Nt5XzHSE8xIaw).
Atmosphere: Jerusalem Restaurant is situated on a corner right across from Denver University. The interior is extremely small, but it seems like most people come here for takeout or sit in the patio area beside the kitchen. Every inch is decorated in Mediterranean fabrics and makeshift lighting. Eating here is somewhat like eating at a marketplace.
Service: Pretty good. Seems like they have a quick turnaround for the takeout.
Synopsis: Unless you're a vegetarian, you can't lose with the combo plate. read more
