    Ordered the greek salad with lamb kabob, and fries. The salad was really tasty. The red hot sauce has a delicious citrus flavor to it. Usef and Lisa were fantastic host as they enjoyed serving us. I recommend this place if you want flavorful Mediterranean food cooked by folks from this region.

    Chicken shawarma plate

    This is a great option for casual food, if you're in the UC Berkeley area. It's located on Durant, which is full of restaurants and cheap eats (perfect for students!). D'Yar is a casual restaurant with a long menu full of different options, including veggie, chicken, lamb, and more. My friends and I walked over from the UC Berkeley campus and ordered chicken shawarma plates. The 2 ladies working were very friendly and fast. We ordered to go because we were not planning on staying at the restaurant for very long, but we all ended up finishing our chicken shawarma plates before leaving. Each plate came with pita, chicken, rice, hummus, salad, and dipping sauce. Everything was tasty and delicious!

    The Best! Crunchy Falafel...really crunch and delicious!creamy hummus.. Pita is great. 100 percent my favorite Super chill staff, very helpful. I highly recommend this spot.

    Stopped by for falafel. You can order with the tablet or with the cashier. Falafel came out after about 5-10 minutes. Solid falafel. Plenty of seating on a Thursday night.

    I love D'Yar, I do not car what anybody says. This place is such a great deal for what you get and the flavors are fantastic! In super close proximity to the UC Berkeley campus, this place is a reliable spot for food whether for lunch or some late night eats. Service is always super quick which is a plus! The restaurant itself is small and is nestled on the side of Durant Ave. I love getting their chicken shawarma snack, falafel wraps, couscous with chicken, and plain 'ol hummus. Super good! The chicken shawarma snack is probably the best deal. So so cheap and very filling! Overall, love this spot and it has become one of my go-to spots around campus. Try it!

    Beef & Lamb Gyro Plate

    The beef and lamb were tasty and seasoned and paired well with the pita. The fries were average and a little thicker and oilier than I would prefer. The hummus was pretty bland, and the yogurt sauce was better. The service was quick, and the people at the counter were nice.

    Ordered the lamb gyro plate. Fast service and large portion sizes. Super convenient and close to campus! Highly recommend this place for a quick meal!

    I love the food, interior of this place and the service. Very tiny spot with 6 tables and a few bar stools but worth the visit if you're in Berkeley for flavor, quality, and portions.

    What time do they open?

    I know it's 11 a.m. on weekends. Not sure about weekdays, but I don't remember any breakfast items on the menu, so I would doubt it opens any earlier.

The only thing on my mind was "I need some food that will lift up my spirits". We happened to stumble upon Jerusalem because it was at the end of Solano Avenue and we did not have the strength to go anywhere else for food. I can say with full confidence that that was the best decision we made! The food was 10/10 experience. Maybe my hunger made it taste better but you really can't say their food is not good. I got their combination platter with chicken and lamb. Perfect seasoning that went well with the saffron rice, hummus and pita. It was so refreshing!! Additionally, the portions are so big! I could hardly fit everything on my plate. I was so so happy about that. The restaurant itself is easy to miss in my opinion and seems a bit old but that gives it a nice aesthetic. The service was good but they were quiet busy with other customers so they could not really focus on us. I didn't care though, I was just so focused on finishing up the delicious meal. Safe to say, I left feeling very satisfied. This is definitely one of the best middle eastern dishes I've had. I loved everything about this place and I can't wait to go back.

Started with my favorite Labneh and multi-wheat pitas/Zaatar which was absolutely amazing. Experimented with Grape leaves mezze which was little on sour side and mild. Then main course of perfectly seasoned grilled lamb chops, scallops kebabs and lamb kebabs. Out of all the tender lamp chops are must try. Roasted potatoes and basmati rice on the side plays well. Ended up with another favorite Baklava (unexpectedly had right sweetness) and tea.

We sat down and the server who is also the chef's wife, a fact she made sure we understood throughout the evening, asked what we wanted to order. We asked how many lamb chops came with the lamb chop plate. She explained that they were priced by weight and that, because it was dinner, they could only serve us a large plate. Fine. We ordered the large plate. She then began repeatedly reminding us that they are not a restaurant. Despite the giant "RESTAURANT" sign behind her. According to her, it is a wine bar. This distinction became particularly important because we had five people in our party, including a two kids. We tried to order an item off of the kids menu and were told they don't serve it at dinner because, again, this is a wine bar, not a restaurant. Okay. We ordered beef, lamb and chicken shawarma, a chicken kebab plate, and the large plate of lamb chops. Then things got weird. The chef, the husband, came out with a plate of 3 small lamb chops. I had read a previous review mentioning that someone felt they'd been shorted on the portion size by the wife, so I very specifically asked him whether the plate was the small or large portion. Without hesitation, he said small. I told him we had ordered the large. He looked confused and said, "I can get you whatever you want." At this point, the wife came storming outside and insisted that it was a large portion. She then proceeded to show me photographs of the raw lamb chops placed on a cutting board on her phone as visual evidence of the weight of the meat. All while I was eating. I suggested she speak with the chef about it, at which point she very aggressively said: "HE'S MY HUSBAND!" And I said, "Well, I never denied that fact." I was no longer sure if I was at dinner, witnessing a marital dispute, or participating in an episode of reality television. The food, unfortunately, did not redeem the experience. It was terrible, even for a wine bar that insists it is not a restaurant. The vibes were completely unhinged. And, as if the evening hadn't already provided enough entertainment, at one point a baby fell down at the bar. Five stars for the experience if you enjoy chaos and confusion. One star for the food and hospitality. I still have no idea whether we ate at a restaurant or a wine bar. One thing is for sure, I'm not going back!
