I went to Jerusalem Café today with some friends, and I can't believe I had forgotten about this place! It had been about eight years since my last visit, and it was every bit as amazing as I remembered. The food was outstanding. I ordered the Philly Gyro with fries, and it was absolutely delicious. My friends ordered a variety of other dishes, and everything we tried was flavorful, well-seasoned, and juicy. I also love hummus, and theirs is some of the best I've ever had. The service was excellent as well. Our waiter was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The atmosphere matched the food perfectly. We sat outside on the back patio, and it was a beautiful day. The setting was relaxing, and it made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and will definitely be coming back. If you're looking for delicious Mediterranean food, I highly recommend giving Jerusalem Café a try! read more

I have been going to this spot for years, and I will never stop coming back for more! Portions are huge, food is delicious, and their lemonades are to die for. Easily a favorite spot in Westport that all KC foodies need to try. I usually either do a quick-pick up, or get together with friends here. The environment is relaxing with helpful service. read more

I think I'm a hummusexual... This is one of my top 2 favorite Mediterranean spots and it's not #2! I absolutely love their lemonades, for just 5 dollars you get a big cup of to-die-for lemonade.....and a free refill to take with you! It tastes fresh and immediately refreshes you. We ordered the pita pizza, falafel and baba ganoush, and built a bowl with yellow rice and gyro. Everything was delicious and had us full and satisfied. Their gyros by itself is also as delicious. I'm also going to go ahead and say they have amazing hummus, fresh pita bread, and delicious falafels. Their pita pizza is good and appetizing just not the best. They also have big portions which is always a plus The service here is a 5/5 on its own. Our waiter was always available, had us taken care of as soon as we walked in, accommodated all of my needs when it came to my food, and answered all of our questions. read more

I loved my lamb gyro. Our server was friendly and efficient. The frozen lemonade didn't disappoint. The bowls were light and flavorful. The restaurant itself was spacious and had comfortable seating. It was too cold, though. I liked this place and would come again :) read more

We stepped in on a cold Saturday afternoon and were immediately greeted with warm hospitality from the staff, heat from the wood oven, and the incredible smell of great food. We ordered the Jerusalem Dinner Feast, which begins with hummus, falafel, and stuffed grape leaves served with pita bread and two additional sides of your choice. For the second course, you get lamb, chicken, and kifta kabobs topped with gyro meat slices and a side of tzatziki sauce. You finish with either baklava or halva for dessert. We were able to split the sides half fries and half rice, and we both chose the soup and baklava. Believe me when I say this is more than enough food for three people. Both the Jerusalem tea and the Turkish coffee were excellent and very enjoyable. After truly feasting for over an hour, we still took home a huge amount of leftovers, including meat, rice, hummus, and plenty of pita. The hummus and falafel tasted incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. read more

Jerusalem Cafe will always be a great memory for my buddy and I's late night adventures to Westport. Back when Jerusalem Cafe was just operating out of their food truck there. Now there set up has changed dramatically, the space theyre at now is honestly really nice and and they've done really well with making it feel more of a restaurant after a slew of other quick bite places gave it a go and operated out of this location. I've only dined out from this location, while the shawarma tasted good I was hesitant even try it because of the price point at 23$. The veggies were fine, they didn't have a lot going on and the salad dressing left a lot to be desired for the salad. I also tried their lentil soup and felt the consistency was not quite what I'm used to, much more thin and watery that soupy. Flavor was fine on that, nothing special. The baklava was decent, a bit dense but a nice treat. All in all I just think for the money there are better options out there for Mediterranean food. Jerusalem Cafe will get you by and leave you full though. read more

one of my favorite restaurants in Kansas City. The service and food truly are hard to find now.

We stopped in here on a Friday night and were happy to be immediately seated. Service was prompt and friendly, the restaurant was clean and warm. I ordered a hot coco which was sweet and delicious. My husband ordered a gyro combo with lentil soup and I ordered hummus and baba gonoush with gyro meat. We also shared a delicious cheese flatbread. The flatbread was definitely the highlight of our experience. My husband did not care for the chicken in his gyro, but the beef and lamb was tasty. read more

There was a bug in my salad, the coffee had thick ass sludge at the bottom and I could taste the dirty coffee pot, the "falafel sandwich" on pita was a mess too. The pita was so thin I couldn't hold it without it breaking and I had a SINGULAR miniature falafel in there. read more

Solid fare and tasty selection and it is priced in fair to middlin' as far as restaurants go in KCMO. The service was good and our meals came out hot and fresh. The restaurant is fairly new so the accommodations are ok but it does have the chain restaurant vibe. read more

Excellent service, cozy atmosphere, flavorful and filling food. I especially love the chicken shawarma, lentil soup and Greek salad.

Pretty good! Food was flavorful, but not the best thing I've ever had. Service was slow because there was one girl working as host and server on a pretty busy night. The restaurant is clean and open, but nothing too crazy! read more

Loved Jerusalem cafe! Great spot for our group of friends to have lunch. Our waiter was great and we were pleased with the timeliness of service. The lentil soup has to be my new favorite! The lamb gyro, greek salad, and lemonade were a few tasteful items! Do recommend getting your pita/sandwhich "Jerusalem style" with pickles, garlic sauce, and french fries added! read more

This spot is well-known by locals for serving up remarkably delicious Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes: Jerusalem Cafe! The second you walk through the doors, you can instantly smell the spices that are used to create their flavorful dishes. The gyro sandwich, the spanakopita, the Jerusalem Combo Mezza, and the famous falafels with house hummus are just a few of the must try items on the menu. read more

Overall, the food was tasty! I really enjoyed the lentil soup and pita - very yummy. The shawarma (Jerusalem style) was a little dry and didn't quite satisfy me, but the Philly cheese gyro (I forgot the exact name) was amazing - juicy and so flavorful! read more

We had a really nice family lunch here recently and will definitely return - hummus and pita were great, my halloumi flatbread was perfect for a cold windy day, lentil soup is always a hit and even my nephew's fries were good! Our server was prompt and friendly and prices were in line with quality and portion sizes. Looking forward to another visit when it's not zero degrees out! read more

Got delivery from here, the Jerusalem Dinner Feast, and it was fantastic--delicious, well-executed food in gigantic portions. Every bite was excellent. The dolmas were over-the-top and some of the best we've ever had. Our order became lunch and dinner the following day, after we had filled ourselves for dinner on the night we ordered. Would definitely reorder and would love to visit the location in person to see what it's like. read more

I like this place. It's really very good, and although the food has changed a bit from how it tasted back in the '90s & early 2000s when it was in the other location up the street when I was a frequent visitor, I still enjoy stopping by when I'm in the area. They have great hummus and traditional Mediterranean dishes, with portions so big I had a full meal to bring home. The staff is very friendly, and the large dining area feels welcoming. I do wish the pita was homemade, fresh, and warm, but it's still good. Overall, I like to swing by when I'm in town. read more

I love Jerusalem Cafe! I don't get over to Westport too often but I love to stop in for a gyro when I do. My most recent visit was on Christmas Eve. I ordered at the front, paid, and my food was out in no time. The individuals at the front were extremely friendly and helpful. And my order was accurate. I did take my food to go but the interior was nice and pretty large. I ordered the hummus and falafel combo. The hummus was really good and they gave plenty of fluffy pita bread. The falafel were crispy and flavorful. I like to pair the hummus and the falafel and I always have leftovers. I went with the gyro sandwich for an entree. I always opt for the beef and lamb but you can also get chicken. The gyro is good sized and they put lots of meat on it. Plenty of tzatziki and fresh tomatoes. The beef/lamb meat is delicious. It's so tender and juicy. The gyro comes with a few things too-soup or salad, and rice or fries. I went with the soup and rice. The soup is lentil and it's really delicious. I would order this by itself. They blend the lentils so the soup isn't chunky but it's a nice thick, creamy texture. And the flavors are on point. The rice is no ordinary rice. Again, flavor explosion! It really pairs well with a gyro. They have one of my favorite gyros in the city. Definitely check them out! read more

I used to eat at this place all the time when I lived in Kansas City. It was my first time back in six years. The new building is nice. The hummus, baba ghanoush and make my own bowl were amazing. Carter took extraordinarily good care of us like we were family members dining in his home. read more

Placed order to go and got food before the time. Located in Westport. Darker tone to room. Nice and friendly staff. The food was pretty good. Sweet dressing on salad and the rice wasn't so flavorful as I would've expected but definitely loved the gyro and shawarma I order. read more

I love that Jerusalem cafe has stayed in Westport along with expanding to other areas. Some long KC natives may remember Westport Sizzler which is super cool. The restaurant is pretty and you see the giant oven with firewood which makes quite the impression! It had been a while so I ordered several platters to get a vibe to see if it was like how I remembered it and it blew me away. Consistent, fresh, delicious every time. Such great flavors while staying true to its roots. Great portions as well which I love!!! Our server was also really nice which means a lot to me nowadays. Definitely THE spot to check out read more

The mango juice is delicious. Never had a bad food item. The hummus is very good. Love the Greek salad

Reasonable prices, nice service, and good (not great) falafel. It's reliable and affordable for weeknight takeout.

Literally just walked out!! You know when your serving food that is not acceptable. And food is too expensive for me to call you out for serving less than acceptable. My salad Literally had the bottom of the bag of croutons!!! Poured it over my whole salad and then served that mess. Crumbs everywhere and this was my only meal today so Thank you for that. If It doesn't look good Don't Serve it. Remake it read more

Jerusalem Cafe has some great food. The manakish is delicious. Think cheesey bread but better. The lentil soup was one of the best I've had. It is full of flavor and was perfect on a cold day. The service is quick and friendly. One weekend nights, they run a food cart in Westport where you can grab hummus or a gyro on the way home. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options available here. read more

I had the Philly Gyro sandwich delivered. It was so delicious. I chose the beef/lamb gyro meat (another option for chicken) and it came with two sides. I chose the salad and lentil soup. Salad was fine but the soup was great. Also got baba ghanouj on the side which was pretty good as well. I will definitely be getting the sandwich and soup again. read more

I was looking for vegetarian options while in KC and came across this find! Excellent falafel that's green on the inside and quite flavorful! I got 3 pieces along with the hummus and they didn't disappoint. I also ordered the fattouch and while it wasn't your traditional fattouch it was still decent. I'd recommend the falafel, pita, and hummus to anyone looking for something that isn't BBQ in Kansas City! read more

I met a friend for lunch at the Jerusalem Cafe, and we had a DELIGHTFUL meal! I hadn't visited the restaurant since they moved to their new address in Westport, and I LOVE the ambience! It's very open, airy, and inviting, but still feels comfortable for 1-to-1 conversation. There are plenty of tables and loads of windows to catch the view of the surrounding area. Our server was Aba a, and he was marvelous! He was efficient and attentive, and answered all our questions about the menu (as some of the dishes were new to us). When I asked if I could have unsweet iced tea with just a touch of the raspberry flavor, he said "Sure!" and it was perfect! Aba checked back frequently to ensure we were enjoying our meals, and we really appreciate that. The food was DELICIOUS!! I had the Baba Ganoush platter, which was the BEST (as always!), and my friend had the Shawarma dinner platter and really enjoyed it. The portions were generous, and the flavors as authentic as I remember. Many thanks to Aba and the Jerusalem Cafe for a great meal! We'll definitely be back!! read more

Wow! I was very excited to find this place! Jerusalem café did not disappoint. A friend of mine who has lived in Casey for a couple of decades, recommended it to us, and she even met us there for dinner. It's one of her favorite places because she's a vegetarian And they have many choices for her. My wife and I are carnivores and they had many choices for us as well. Their hummus is fantastic and I am very picky about my hummus. The baba ghanoush was the best I've had! The dolmas were amazing! The lamb was a little dry. The rice was wonderful. The chicken was good. The service was a wee bit slow from time to time, but we were there for hours catching up with our old friend, so I understand. I can't wait to return to Jerusalem Café, and have some more delicious food. One of the people dining near us had the tabouli, and it looked incredible. I'm gonna need to put that in my belly. read more

I had Meddys on Wednesday and really enjoyed the food. So I wasn't busy on Thursday and decided I would try Jerusalem cafe for lunch. Service was on point.

Food was good but didn't blow me away like Meddys. read more

Got the opportunity to come to this restaurant again a few years after initially trying it, and it was still awesome this visit! Got the chicken shawarma sandwich, and it tasted great! Chicken in the sandwich was great and really also liked the yogurt. Also tried out both the falafel and hummus, and they were both amazing! The falafel was very flavorful and crispy. The hummus was very creamy. For dessert, got to try out the Knafeh, and it was very good. It wasn't overly sweet and had the right amount of cheese. Service of this restaurant was also very good! Overall, I had another great experience at this restaurant and look forward to returning next time I'm in Kansas City! read more

Food tasted absolutely fresh. Great place to visit while in Westport for a family dinner. The staff was very welcoming and answered any questions. The sandwiches are not vegan friendly from what our server said but you can modify the salads and add the falafels. There are some entrees that provide a great variety and the tahini sauce is also vegan. read more

I've been enjoying Jerusalem Cafe since I was grabbing their Hummus and Pita from their food truck after a long night in Westport. Their new location is a nicely modernized version of their old spot and the food is still just as good. Their Manakeesh is always excellent and they have some of the best gyros that you'll find in Kansas City! I've never had a bad meal here, and given that I've had most of the items on their menu, I expect you won't, either. read more
