    I stopped in here for a late dinner since I had seen it multiple times while driving past but had never stopped in. Not sure how long they have been in this location since it is a bit hard to find, the inside looks like it is fairly new but reviews are at least a year old. I ordered a Gyro and Lentil soup. Food can out fast, the Gyro was good and had good amount of meat. I felt like the soup was an afterthought because it was more of a dipping size container but flavors were good.

    I've been here twice and have had positive experiences. The first time I ordered online and it was ready to go when I arrived. The most recent visit, I stopped in and ordered but still took it to go. Everyone I've interacted with has been friendly and service has been super fast. They do have a large space and even a really nice patio. I love the beef/lamb gyro. That's my go to. It's always super tender and the flavors are just amazing. Produce on the sandwich is fresh. And it's honestly one of my favorite spots to get a gyro from. Sides-I like the lentil soup and the rice. Both have really good flavor. The soup is awesome in the winter and the rice is a tasty staple. I'm so happy to have another Jerusalem cafe closer to my home. Highly recommend!

    This new location is very clean inside and has a great patio if you are looking for covered and good food. We got the a gyro sandwich and platter. The gyro meat was perfect and so was the Tzatziki sauce. I found it interesting the standard is putting sliced cheese on the gyro meat for the platter but I asked for just feta and I was happy with that decision. We will for sure be coming back, but keep in mind pricing is on the higher side but you will be very full after.

    I enjoyed the first-rate service, the nice atmosphere, the generous portions and the delicious middle eastern food during my soft opening dine-in lunch visit to this family-owned restaurant. The original gyro with choice of two sides (reasonably priced at $12.93) was ready just six minutes after I ordered at the counter, where the service was welcoming, polite, hospitable and helpful with a genuine interest in feedback - nice! The platter included a gyro on a fresh, warm, 6" pita with plenty of delicious, moist chicken, along with flavorful saffron rice and a Greek salad with a tasty, light dressing. The dining area was clean, nice and freshly remodeled with middle eastern background music. I also noticed a patio. Excellent!

    We had dinner here tonight and it was excellent! The restaurant is immaculate, the service was good, the portions were generous and the food was very fresh and flavorful. They also have a gluten free menu which I ordered from. It's a quiet casual restaurant with quite a bit of seating. We will definitely go back!

    I haven't been to Jerusalem Cafe in at least a decade, when they were in their old-old location in Westport. When we last went it was run down and not very clean. The new version is such a vast improvement! Spotless, insanely friendly service, and stylish decor. And the food!? Incredible! Not a weak one in the bunch. My manakeesh was great. I got the sumac chicken with halloumi. Really interesting. Falafel must have been some of the best I've ever had. We are looking forward to going back!

    Tasty fast and casual Mediterranean restaurant. Friendly staff and delicious food. Look forward to trying more of their many menu offerings

    Gotta try the lemonades and Philly gyros. Perfect spot for lunch or dinner...maybe even both. Fresh selections. Open seating and spacious patio. Friendly service.

    I finally had the opportunity to check out the Jerusalem Cafe in Mission and can I say, still wanting more hummus. It's cute and love that it's quick to order and fast to start eating anything covered in tzatziki and feta. Also tried their baklava sampler and yum! Love a med place and that this is in mission in all the mix. Will be back.

    This spot has seen many restaurants come and go but this seems like the perfect fit! So happy to have a Jerusalem Cafe in Mission now. The inside is spacious if you'd like to sit and eat and it was easy to order ours to-go. The chicken shawarma was a big portion and service was fast and friendly. If you have menu questions they are happy to answer. Excited to make it a regular stop.

    It's been a while since I visited Jerusalem Cafe's old Westport location, and their new one in OP is much more modern and organized, but our food was hit or miss. We stopped by Jerusalem Cafe for an early dinner and ordered the combo kebob and Jerusalem combo mezza, as well as kunafa dessert. Our combo kebob came with our choice of two kebobs (we got lamb and shrimp) and two appetizers (we got soup and salad). The shrimp kebob was good, but the lamb was flavorless and VERY chewy. Our salad was a lot of sad and soggy lettuce, and the soup had no flavor. The Jerusalem combo came with falafel, hummus and baba ganoush, which were all pretty good, as well as grape leaves, which again lacked flavor. Our kunafa dessert was perfectly sweet and cheesy, I highly recommend ordering this if you are getting a treat there! Service was very quick and it was not crowded at all, very casual vibes and the prices are very reasonable. I would like to stop back and try some different dishes, but my recommendation for now would be to stay away from the kebobs, salad, or soup and order the hummus, falafel, and kunafa.

    Twilight zone ah restaurant…read more The summer evening's gentle humidity greeted me as I woke up from a strange dream. I recall a long room. Tables set. A menu hanging by a thread, the crease counting on one hand how many openings it has left. What is that desolate counter doing there? And those Wayfair basket shelves? Sure, I'll get the Greek Platter. A tasty entree no doubt but an unholy matrimony: the saddest pita bread you'll meet. At no fault to Kinzi, cyclospora weighed heavy on me this meal. Just thought you should know. Soon I'm in the hallway. Washing your hands is righteous, right? Where am I? Laboratory light seems to come from nowhere. Dove white dry paint on the floor and the door. And the handle. Get me out of here. As I descend the steps of purgatory, a siren calls: "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" Motion detectors. But where? And what are we protecting? The patrons from themselves? I'm back, but not for long. This entire time I endured the music. The flat screen does no justice to these poor bare bellied women, forced to dance for eternity, only punctuated by YouTube ads. Then, suddenly, there's an incessant beeping. For a few minutes it won't go away. Then, "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" followed by the cutely sinister chimes. Oh, it's the ice box. He rips something out of the bottom and the beeps dissipate. The kind man approaches. "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" What? Oh! The plates, yes, and the check, yes. "Save Ferris," his shirt reads. Is that who we're guarding? As he walks back, "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" *jingle lingle ling* Time to go. The motion detector once again clocks me as I exit. Everyone should dare to dream. For now, I must wake up.

The restaurant appeared to be severely understaffed, our server was also cooking, and it seemed like only one person was running the entire place. Because of that, service and cleanliness suffered a bit, and the tables and menus felt slightly sticky. I'd probably recommend takeout over dining in, but I also got the sense that this was more of a staffing issue than a lack of effort.

After…read morelooking through the menu and photos beforehand, I landed somewhere between casual and upscale with jeans, a button-up, and a jacket. At first I felt slightly overdressed, but as the evening went on the crowd definitely skewed more polished, though overall it still leaned approachable and relaxed. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and one of my favorite parts was being able to watch the kitchen in action. The lighting and music might be a little challenging for some older guests, but we had no trouble carrying on conversation at the table. Service was on the slower side, though we were there to enjoy the evening and never felt rushed. We started with the spanakopita and grilled octopus. The spanakopita was excellent, perfectly crisp phyllo with a filling that leaned more spinach-forward than feta-heavy, which I really enjoyed. The octopus was fresh and flavorful, though it wasn't as much of a hit with the rest of the table. For salads, we tried the roasted beet salad and the watermelon feta salad. Both were fine, but on a return visit I'd probably skip them and save room for more appetizers or mains. For entrées, I ordered the lamb shank while my wife had the moussaka. Both dishes were excellent, but the moussaka absolutely stole the show. It's served in a square baking vessel and is rich, comforting, and easily large enough to share between two maybe even three people. To finish, we took baklava to go and stayed for the crème brûlée, which was exactly what you want from a classic version of the dish: creamy custard with a perfectly caramelized top. Overall, Paros delivered a really enjoyable evening with a beautiful atmosphere, strong entrées, and a menu that feels elevated without being pretentious.

Our appetizer was the Trio Of Spreads with featured tzatziki and taramasalata, rare to find in KC. Main course for my companion was the Moussaka which was top notch.

On July 7, I went there for Chicken Plate and didn't realize I got over charges; the price is about $13 and my CC statement shows $27.79!!! I didn't recognize the amount when I had to approve the charge as it how I always did at this place. So part of this is my mistake I guess by not carefully look at the final charge on the machine. However how come someone at the restaurant would have made such as HUGE mistake on the amount to begin with!!!! I did call and ask if something could be done. They said it was three ago and told me I am the one that approved the charge so nothing they can do about it high and dry. So be aware of how these guys are doing business or make sure you catch a mistake. If I am in their shoes I would have offered the customer something. Not going to go here any more or need to learn a lesson to always take a receipt. I try not to generate any waste paper but lessons learned. Edited: Well, the owner reached out to me and took care of the issue. The reason I am saying the new owner because there have been certain changes and me making that assumption. So I stand corrected if that is not the case. Anyhow, regardless of the initial experience/complaint, the foods here are almost good and worth it for $ you will be paying for. This is why our family have been going to this place for many years from time to time when we feel eating quick and good Greek/Mediteranean foods. Anyhow, putting that situation behind and the fact that the owner got back to me so quickly, I highly recommend this place and change my star review!!!

First getting to it is a little tricky if you're not paying attention. Coming from the west down 83rd you have to turn early and go through the housing because of a median that keeps you from turning in. Best bet is if you can come in heading south down Metcalf. The food was awesome. So fresh. I had the Gyro Plate and he had the Gyro sandwich. We also got a couple of baklava and Almond Cookies. I loved the portion size and felt it was a great amount of food for me. I would like to go back and try some other things on the menu. The place was very clean and nice inside with music playing. You go up to a counter to order your food, then they call your number for pick up. Everyone was friendly and polite. When there was no customers at the counter you could hear staff talking and laughing with each other, which to me shows they enjoy their job and seemed like they enjoyed their co-wotkers. Tipping was optional with tip jar.

I absolutely love Mediterranean food, especially the Mediterranean food I've experienced back home, so I was really excited to try a new spot. The restaurant itself was very clean, quiet, and easy to navigate. You order at the counter and they bring your food out, and the staff was friendly enough. I just wasn't overly impressed with the overall experience. I ordered the chicken shawarma pita, which came with lentil soup. Unfortunately, the shawarma was pretty mediocre for me. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't something that left me thinking, "I can't wait to come back and get this again." I was especially looking forward to the lentil soup, but unfortunately, it was so hot that it actually burned through the bottom of the container and leaked all through the bag. By the time we realized what had happened, a good portion of the meal had been ruined. The one thing I will say is that the garlic sauce was really good! My daughter also enjoyed her chicken tenders and fries, so there were definitely some positives. Overall, I'm glad we tried Sahara, but based on this particular visit, I wouldn't be rushing back. I think there's potential for it to be a good spot, but my first experience just didn't wow me the way I was hoping it would.
