Taste of Jerusalem is the kind of place that reminds you why you should never judge a restaurant by its zip code or its signage. Tucked into a perfectly forgettable strip mall in Plainfield, this little spot is quietly serving some of the best food in the area and I am genuinely annoyed it took me this long to find it. The chicken kabob plate was a revelation. Massive portions of beautifully marinated chicken laid over a split of white rice and spicy rice. That spicy rice deserves its own paragraph. Fragrant, deeply spiced, with a slow building heat that lingers just long enough to keep pulling you back for another bite. Addicting is the only word for it. The hummus was exactly what hummus should be, fresh, delicious, also addictive. I added falafel and pita and those falafel were genuinely among the best I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, not a trace of that greasy heaviness that ruins lesser versions. Just fragrant, spiced, crispy little bites that I genuinely savored. My partner got the chicken wrap and said every component worked together without competing, tasted fresh, and left him full without feeling heavy. High praise from a man who knows his way around a wrap. The space is clean and simple. You order from a kiosk. None of that matters because the husband and wife team running the grill are pouring obvious passion into every plate and it comes through in every single bite. Plainfield has a gem here. Treat it accordingly.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!…read more Not only was the food delicious but the service was exceptional. My husband and I both had the steak souvlaki cooked perfectly and was delicious! My children had the gyro with Greek fries, all 3 of my sons finished all their food and said they want to go back again tomorrow! The owner and general manager talked to us, made us feel comfortable and they were so kind. All the staff was kind and professional. The restaurant was clean. We also had their rice pudding and it was great! Do yourself a favor and order some food and enjoy!

That never happened at Covo. The flavor of the chicken was good (although I asked for chicken gyro which she said they had, not sure if they do or don't since I was given grilled chicken) but the falafel was rough. They were small and had a chemical taste... super sad. Hopefully they can make some improvements but for now I'll be skipping here.

If you're looking for fresh, authentic Indian food with outstanding service, this is the place. I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend!

Shree is hidden in a strip mall that's hard to make a turn into from the busy street. Got a pretty big menu. The bad thing is it's too expensive for quality and quantity. Found out they have a buffet. It's on weekdays at lunch. The selection was pretty paltry but we thought it would be all for a great price. About half of it was meaty. The other half had things for vegetarians. It's about $20 for the buffet. We were shocked by the price. It was certainly not worth it. They were taking forever refilling water. A spicy plate of food has to have it available. They were also late getting us bread until we had finished a few plates. Great thing is it's the best Indian restaurant in town to be honest. It's because this is the only one. There's a lot for vegans and vegetarians.
