| - I'm really shocked that Jerusalem doesn't have a better rating. I've been coming here for years and years with my family - in fact, when I lived in Hamilton my parents and I would often drive out to the area JUST to dine at Jerusalem because we love the food so much. The service is great and the owner, Romeo, is a very friendly and generous guy.
We always get the Dinner for Two combination for $39. It is so much food, between three of us we always have extra left over. What you get: mixed pickles, baba ghanouj, hummus, tabouli salad, pita bread, fried eggplant OR cooked tomatoes BUT we always ask for both because they are just SO good!! Their eggplants and tomatoes are really the star of the show and both are hands down my favourite menu items here. I've eaten at many middle eastern restaurants but never had such delicious eggplant and tomato in my life. I don't know how they make it so good.
After the appetizers you get salad, rice, and your choice of three skewers of either chicken, lamb, beef shish tawook or beef kabob. The rice tastes like its flavoured with a spice known as kebabiya - very unique and so, so tasty.
The place is often busy but I suppose the crowd that enjoys Jerusalem doesn't Yelp much. It's been around since the 80s and has won many awards for best middle eastern cuisine, healthiest food, etc.
I don't recommend trying the other Jerusalem locations in Mississauga or North York, this one is THE best, the others are sub-par in comparison.
