Looking for somewhere fresh, fast and unbelievably delicious? Located at 307 S. Fifth Ave, Jerusalem Garden satisfies all of the above while keeping your wallet happy. Although Sarah, Julie, Sam and I went out last Saturday night looking to explore a new restaurant on Main Street, we were overwhelmed by the crowds and decided to venture further away, still in search of a good place to eat. Don’t be thrown off by Jerusalem Garden’s small appearance, the inside atmosphere is lively and the food – when you finally choose from the restaurant’s incredible menu – is bursting with flavor.
Together we covered most of the menu – from hummus to falafel sandwiches and left both satisfied and eager to come back again soon.
Here’s how we did it:
Chicken Sharwma Plate with Baba Ghanoug and Mjaddara with Caramelized Onions. Broiled marinated chicken breast topped with yogurt garlic sauce, served with fattoush vegetables.
Chicken with Fattoush and Shwarma Sauce. Diced vegetables, lemon, salt, vinegar and olive oil
served with broiled chicken breast and pita chips.
Fattoush. Parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, red pepper, red onion, carrot, lemon, salt, vinegar, olive oil and sumac served with choice of fried OR toasted pita.
Hummus and Tabbouli Sandwich.
Baba Ghanoug. Roasted eggplant, tahini, tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, salt. Served with sliced pita bread.
Hint about the menu:
If you’re feeling a smaller, lighter meal you can choose between the variety of meat and vegetarian sandwiches Jerusalem Garden has to offer. However, if you want a true taste of all that Jerusalem Garden has to offer I highly advise going for the three piece meal. Choices range from falafel, shwarma and kabob plates as starters and are accompanied by two of their incredible sides and salads (try out the fattoush and the hummus).
Atmosphere? Laid-back, cozy and comfortable. Service was great and our food came quickly – however, expect a wait to be seated, especially on weekends.
Cost? Small sides (which aren’t really that small) start at $3.50, and the most expensive item on the menu – the shish kabob plate, is $11 but big enough to take home for leftovers.
Best dish? Way too difficult to decide, you have to go to check it out for yourself.
