I usually do a delivery but I'm going to take a break because the food seems to be getting smaller portions...If I pay $30 dollars for a meal I expect to get plenty of food for the money... read more

The food is excellent, I always get the gyro because their bread wrap is always fresh. I also love their desserts. Very tasty! I don't go that often because I'm usually doing business in the other direction, but when I do, it's freshly made Palestinian meals...so tasty. The service is excellent and the people are so friendly. The owners did all the interior work. The tiles are beautiful! read more

We've been to Jerusalem Grill probably four times by now. Enough, that the staff already recognized us this last time . And let's start there. The staff are so friendly and down to earth. Kind people. I love that. The place itself is inviting and feels extremely unique. It was setup and decorated with care. You walk in and you're in a different place. You forget you're in a shopping center and that this is a storefront restaurant. The mint tea lemonade drink they serve...? DO NOT think twice about trying it. I'm not usually one for minty stuff, but this drink is absolutely phenomenal. What about the food, you ask...? Well, this is officially my place in all of Tampa Bay to eat Mediterranean food. And I've tried many that are absolutely delicious. But Jerusalem beats them all out. The meats are truly, expertly cooked, with flavors that give you that food high that leaves you feeling amazing after the meal. But then the sides are equally impressive. Everything down to their salads is fresh and packed with flavor and nuance. I have not had a bad thing on this menu. It's all been amazing. Oh... try their baklava. Not usually big on desserts, but I'll get that again for certain. read more

Delicious Mediterranean food right here in Brandon - including fresh falafel, which is hard to come by! We ordered the Sampler so we could try a little bit of the basics on our first time visit. The sampler included hummus, baba ghanouj, falafel and pita - the baba ghanouj was the stand out. Pure deliciousness - just the right amount of garlic. :) We also enjoyed the lentil soup too - the owner came by our table to check in with us and was super excited for us to try it as she let us know she adds cilantro as her special touch. Can't wait to come back and try more delicious Middle Eastern fare at this locally-owned, family-run business. read more

Jerusalem Grill And Deli - The Sampler - Middle Eastern Near Me - Valrico, Florida

The food was fresh and hot and the hummus was really good. Unfortunately, the overall experience was just okay. Our table was literally underneath a leaking ceiling, which definitely wasn't ideal, and our waitress wasn't the friendliest. The food was good, but the service and atmosphere could use some improvement. read more

First off, good here is always great; I've been coming here for years. Prices aren't bad either so in terms of Mediterranean food around the area, this has to be the best. The ambiance was fine, felt like a deli/restaurant. My gripe is, and this is actually something I find to be big, is they were featured on the Clipp magazine and offered $30 for $15 if you buy an offer. Well I bought one two months, the offer expires in December, I'm using it in August and they refuse to accept, telling me it's expired and they don't do that anymore. I detest when a business does that, completely unethical and almost like they wanted the perks of using the Clipp platform but without having to live up to their end of the bargain. So as much as I love the food here, I do not like to support businesses that aren't honorable or supportive of community in return. read more

Delicious and FRESH made gyro! I wanted to try a new place and Jerusalem Grill did not disappoint. The portions were hardy and the price was great!! The inside was so clean and tidy. I talked to a lady who was presumably the owner and she was so nice and welcoming! I can't wait to come back and try a bunch more food items! read more

I believe that I will try it again. My wife was not impressed with her salad. My sandwich was tasteful, but I'm not sure what it was missing. The workers were quite hospitable to my wife, but ignoring me. So my rating includes that also. My gyro was good. It wasn't one of the best that I've had in Tampa Bay. However, I'd consider giving it another try. The place was adorned with Jewish items well. I didn't get the feel of Jerusalem. However, that's common. Someone who may have never gone to Israel, would appreciate the decorations a bit more. As a disclaimer, since I write a lot of reviews, I figured I need to add in how the company shows hospitality to the person paying the bill. All in all, give them a shot. read more

I was in town visiting my sister and brother in law and wow! What a find! The restaurant itself is spotless and charmingly decorated and most importantly the Yelp reviews didn't disappoint! This might be the best Mediterranean food I've ever tried. I'm usually not a big baba ghanoush or falafel fan, but I loved both at this restaurant. Everything we tried was so moist and flavorful and the portions didn't disappoint either. Service was great also. Everyone was friendly and helpful with the recommendations. They brought us samples of their new Biscoff cheesecake and wound up ordering full slices. We wanted to lick the plates it was so good, lol. Will definitely be back next time we are back in Valrico! read more

This place is an absolute gem!! This was my husband and i's first time going here after seeing the great reviews online. THIS PLACE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Everything was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, authentic and full of flavor. The lamb chops were so good, we had to get a plate to go. The service was amazing. Our waitress was the sweetest and made sure we were well taken care of while dining in. The mint lemonade was nothing like I've had before and it was delicious. The steak was full of flavor and paired well with the grilled veggies. We will be going back for sure. Already planning another dinner date here. read more

This place absolutely nails the balance between upscale fine dining and an impressively efficient experience. We came specifically to indulge in high-quality Mediterranean cuisine while in town, and it exceeded expectations across the board. The service was flawless--attentive, genuinely friendly, and perfectly timed. The dishes arrived quickly yet felt anything but rushed: generous portions, impeccably fresh ingredients, spot-on seasoning, and presentation worthy of a top-tier restaurant. Without question, this will be our go-to spot every time we're back in town. read more

My aunt told me about Jerusalem back in February and she told me I needed to try it out. I was greeted right away. One thing I noticed right away was the amount of people in the restaurant and how busy it was in there. My waitress told me about what drinks were available and I got the mint lemonade which is so good. I was served an appetizer of stewed tomatoes with olives and pita bread. I ordered the hummus with pita. The hummus has a little kick with it. For my early dinner, I got the chicken shawarma which freshly made and seasoned well. I have to say, Jerusalem has some of the best pita and it's freshly made and just wonderful. The restaurant is nicely decorated and music is playing. There is a dessert counter which looks good but I was so full. The owner is really nice and appreciative. If I'm in the area, I would visit again. read more

I really recommend Jerusalem Grill and Deli read more

Pros: we have been here at least 4 times since we discovered it and love it. Service and food- excellent. Service: so friendly and welcoming, their sauces are so yummy.. homemade hot sauce and the spicy chimichurri are my favorite. We have had shish, chimichurri chicken, chicken sharwma, gyros, salads -- love their greek salad.. We tried numerous baklava also- good!! Definitely worth a try. Ambience- it's very nicely decorated, felt very authentic. read more

We were in the area and decided to stop by for a quick lunch, and we're glad we did! The lentil soup was the highlight of the meal, absolutely delicious and full of flavor. We ordered the chicken shawarma platter and the chicken chimichurri platter, and both were excellent. The rice was especially tasty and complemented the meals perfectly. The service was fantastic, too. They went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten free request, which I really appreciated. Friendly staff, great food, and excellent service made this an easy place to recommend. We'd definitely stop by again! read more

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into each dish. You'll want to wash it all down with their mint lemonade or Vimto soda. Our waitress made the experience even better. She was incredibly informative, gave awesome recommendations that we loved, and was genuinely kind and attentive throughout our meal. Make sure you save room for dessert--or take some to go--because you do not want to miss their Biscoff cheesecake. It's unbelievably fluffy and airy, unlike any cheesecake we've ever had before. The texture is light yet rich, and the flavor is out of this world. We're already looking forward to coming back for another slice! read more

The good is great and the owner are very nice. The place is very clean and well organized Only one complaint they need larger drinks, cups are small and the Ice Tea is great, but no where near enough. Other than that I do recommend. read more

It's all true! This is the kind family that would always offer samples of their wonderful food inside the Al Madina grocery store. Everything they cooked was made with love, and then I found out they were no longer there. They now have their own restaurant. I'm so happy for them! What's even better is that it's now in my neighborhood in Valrico (at Plaza Bella on Bloomingdale Avenue). Yay! It can't get better than this. The food was just as wonderful today. Actually, it was even better. The dining area is much larger with lots of booth seating. The kitchen is spacious and open. The décor is on point with displays of different items for purchase such as Alameed Coffee and local pita bread from Ramallah Market Bakery. It all looks great! I'm not going to bore you with the details. Just read my review from Al Madina. Anyone who lives here locally knows about their amazing chimichurri sauce. You can't go wrong ordering anything with that sauce. The Hummus & Baba Ghannouj are so full of flavor. The taste of the grilled meats (no matter what you get) is delightful. I tried their Lebanese garlic yogurt dip, and I couldn't resist adding it to my Chicken Shawarma. It was all great, and with huge portions of meat. As I was finishing up my meal, one of the owners came by with a sample of her freshly made cashew baklawa. It was heavenly! I ended up getting 6 more to take home with me (3 cashew and 3 pistachio). My husband already wants more. He especially loved the cashew one, but I love them both. They have a whole case full of desserts. Oh, and they are going to add Kunafa soon. What a treat! I can't wait to go back with my husband. There's really no excuse not to go since it's so close to home. Check it out if you're in Valrico. read more

Great local restaurant for Mediterranean food. Inside was nicely decorated and very inviting. Open kitchen in the back. We tried several sandwiches for lunch. Beef and chicken schwarma, gyro and kefta. All were excellent. While we waited we got pita bread with cream cheese, olive oil and olives. Schwarma sandwiches were very good. The different sauces were excellent. Gyro was good and kefta was very good. Everyone was very satisfied with flavor and portion size. We definitely need a place like this in the area. Very new and staff was very friendly. Everything we saw coming out looked great. Can't wait to come back. read more

This is the absolute best!! I remember the owners when they cooked at Al madina, so was really excited to see them open up a new spot. As expected, service was great! It is located in a plaza on Bloomingdale. The inside is gorgeous! It's decorated beautifully. It's bright. It's spacious. We got a plethora of our favorites: grape leaves, hummus, chicken shawarma, and mixed grill. Everything was a 10 out of 10. They make the best hummus around. Add the chimichurri!! It's so good! The bread was fresh and warm. The meat all had a great grill flavor. Literally everything was fantastic. read more

Absolutely great experience. The food was I had the kafta and baba ghanoush, both packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The beef shawarma with hummus and the lentil soup were amazing as well.

On top of that, the people were awesome, super friendly and welcoming. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. read more

I've been eating their food since they were in the back of a Middle Eastern grocery store. The food is always delicious and generous portions. The owners and staff are all friendly and attentive to your needs. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with photos of the holy city of Jerusalem taken by the owner. The booths and chairs are comfortable which can be hard to find in most restaurants these days. read more

After watching the manatees, we looked for a well reviewed place for dinner and yum! Complimentary haydari was the starter and so light and perfect. The sampler had hummus, baba ganoush and falafel and it was probably some of the best we've ever had! All three! Our mother, not a hummus lover, could not keep her pita out of it. My brother and I both took a bite of the lamb and just nodded at each other. So well done! Juicy and flavorful and the perfect medium rare. My mother loved her mixed grill and I tried the chicken and kufta. Very good! The lamb was the super star and I highly recommend! The salads were also delicious and fresh. We took the dessert to go because we were so fully satisfied but we knew the baklava couldn't be missed. Our server was kind enough to offer a sample of the biscoff dessert and we got that to go as well. read more

We went here to celebrate a friend's birthday with a large group of about 25-30 people, and despite the size of our party, the service and food were absolutely top-notch. Every order came out perfectly -- fresh, flavorful, and on time. My husband had the chimichurri steak sandwich and I had the chicken shawarma platter -- both were outstanding! The flavors were spot on, and everything tasted freshly made. I'm so happy to have this restaurant in our neighborhood, and we definitely plan on coming back soon. Don't hesitate and pay them a visit. You won't regret it! read more
