Editorial Review for Old Jerusalem Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Though a bit of an oddball along this trendy strip, Old Jerusalem is a welcome oasis for vegetarians and those looking for a less expensive dining option. The Middle Eastern menu sticks to the tried-and-true without a lot of fuss: hummus, falafel, shawarma (meat cooked with lemon, garlic and mustard), baklava and other specialties.

Based on reviews we decided to go and try the food. It was OK if you were really hungry otherwise I would eat that. It was only a couple of tables taken, but still it took them a while to bring shwarma and it was slightly warm, so I had really serious doubts about the freshness. The taste was very very mideocre. 5$ meal from pita inn is soo much better.

Pros: Quite, looks like a normal place to eat

Cons: The food

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I just went with some friends and we waited 18mins no service. There was only 2 people there, and the waiter just ignored us. We just left after 20 mins w/o any service. After we left he said can we take your order we just laughed and walked out.

Pros: OK Food

Cons: BAD SERVICE.
