Can we say HIDDEN GEM? This little diamond is located near my new apartment, so after passing by a…read morefew times we decided to place a take out order. They sell very authentic Arabic food and have a small shop of imported treats from Turkey (teas, grains, Turkish delight, grape leaves, etc) We ordered a promotion for two people which included a plethora of treats to try: a stuffed bell pepper, stuffed courgettes, stuffed aubergines, stuffed grape leaves and stuffed cabbage, all filled with a rice and beef mix. It also came with a large piece of Mazipan which was a sausage casing stuffed. It wasn't visually appealing but also very tasty. The deal also included 2 drinks and was 12.000, fed two hungry people so I thought it was really well priced. The menu also has various dips (hummus, babaganoush, etc), shawarma and falafel as well as various salads and desserts. Will be back soon to try more of the menu. A few patio tables but overall more of a take out place!

This is the real deal. It is important to note that just 3 months ago the administration changed. I…read moream not sure how it was before but I can say that their falafels are delicious. Kabab offers Middle Eastern food made right. The new owner (and cook) is Palestinian and Colombian and after talking with him briefly it sounds like he has big plans for the restaurant - including adding TV's to watch the games as well as a website for easy ordering. Kabab's menu has many different traditional Middle Eastern options and some with a Chilean twist. My favorite is the vegetarian option of falafels with a delicious yogurt sauce. They also offer "dulces arabes" which I believe is Baklava (or if not, something similar to it). I can't speak for the kababs or how it was with the old administration, but definitely worth giving it a try. They also have awesome "menus del dia" that are very economic and tasty (Tip: if you are a vegetarian ask the owner for an alternative)

After walking along the beachfront of viña del mar, we were hungry so we checked out Jerusalem,…read morewhich my guidebook said was popular with college students for having cheap Mediterranean food like pita wraps and shawarma. The place is small with a few tables of outdoor seating along the sidewalk and a small dining area inside. You order at the window. I ordered the falafel shawarma (Chico size) which came with a mini bottle of soda. They accept credit card. They brought my order to me along with a white sauce and a pale green sauce. The shawarma was just okay. The falafel was really dry. Even drowning it in sauce didn't help. The staff was really nice, and I probably should've ordered something else.
