| - I'm not a big fan of all you can eat, buffet style restaurants, but Jerusalem wasn't too bad. The food is Middle Eastern, and the vibe... very middle eastern. What I like about this place was that it wasn't your typical buffet restaurant, where it wasn't just about eating and getting out. Jerusalem Restaurant offers live entertainment, at dinner time, complete with Arabic pop songs and belly dancers. What takes the cake though was the overall liveliness of the place, and not with just the entertainment, but with the clientèle! During the music and entertainment portion of the evening, people were getting up to dance, clap, and sing along with the band. Personally I felt this made my dining experience coupled with the super friendly wait staff and servers.
Fair warning though, if you're there on a heavy birthday night, be prepared to have the same happy birthday sung over and over again. The entertainer could have spaced out the birthdays I think, instead of opting of going through the whole list and going from table to table singing the same song.
I won't comment much on the food. It's laid out in typical buffet fashion. It wasn't bad, but nothing stood out either aside from the khabsa (rice cooked in roast lamb) which brought memories back to when I lived in the Arabian Gulf.
I would go back to this place, but more for the experience and the good times than the food.
