Came across this place in downtown Chicago and loved the experience and food! Place is owned by a Lebanese family they are the sweetest people the food was so good and flavorful 😍 definitely will visit again
I just visited Old Jerusalem Restaurant and it was such a beautiful experience. The food felt like it came straight from a grandmother’s kitchen. Warm comforting, and full of care. The tea especially stood out, as if it had been brewed slowly over charcoal, carrying a deep, nostalgic flavor. The atmosphere was just as special. The staff were incredibly kind, and there was a strong sense of family in the space. Seeing an elderly woman in the corner quietly cleaning with the warmest smile added something truly touching to the experience. It feels like a place where Middle Eastern culture, warmth, and simplicity come together naturally. You don’t just eat there you feel it.
We went here late on a Friday night and got Musaheb and Shish Tawook wrap sandwiches. Both were outstanding. The owners and staff were very nice. I highly recommend this place.
food is great, i believe it’s family ran. Had the lentil soup solid, mixed meat platter, solid and chicken kebab good, a little dry but still good. Would go back for more for sure
I tried this restaurant for a gyros. The quality and service are top notch. The gyros meat is very tasty. The waffle fries is a nice touch! The stuffed grape leaves very tasty too!! AAA+
