This was a while ago, but I've received criticism for this review (under compliments no less), but the fact remains this was my experience and since I spent 8 years working in the service industry myself, this isn't a good way to run a restaurant. We were not the usual demographic of this restaurant, but having worked in many different places I would never have served food while on the phone or ignored my customers. If they needed the time to tend to business the owner/manager should have helped out or closed down. Adding 20% gratuity for two people is ridiculous. To criticism my review because I'd only been there once is ridiculous. If I am not treated as a valuable customer then why would I lie or go back to pay money to be treated so again? If I ran a place of business and treated a customer like this, I would expect them to be unhappy and isn't this the forum for it? The majority of my reviews are positive so this isn't just me looking for a forum to complain. read more

Love it! They give you so much food! I got a lunch special for $17.99.I got an entree, two sides, salad or salad. But before she brought all that the waitress brought me three additional sides and a huge peice of pita bread. Their food is so good. The restaurant is run by Moroccans and this is authentic Middle Eastern food. They have delicious Yemenite Soup. The service is great. The restaurant atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. Though I spent more here for lunch than I originally planned to it was totally worth it. Something to be aware of, they automatically add an 18% gratuity to your bill. Tip:Order something to dip your pita in when you order something like the lunch special and the waiter brings a complimentary pita. I had originally ordered a different side but then changed it to Hummus when I saw that she brought the pita. read more

Came in over the weekend to try and snab an early Purim lunch before the giant 3pm party took over the place. First thing is first, the amount of food you get at this place is massive. Before you even start, a small army of Israeli side dishes including corn salad, pickled radish, olives, gherkins, malted veggies, and cole slaw alongside HUMONGOUS portions of homemade bread are brought to the table free of charge. While you nibble on your free goodies, if you still wish to order an appetizer, the combo plate with falafel balls should be enough to put you over the top which comes with a "best of" Israeli dip combo including hummus, tahini, babaganoush, fried eggplants, avocado salad among others that you can eat on their own or you can put your giant bread pieces to work and dip them right onto the platter. Yet if for some reason you still are not stuffed to capacity and willing to cry uncle, then please by all means dive right into their meat selection. From steaks to chicken to lamb, everything at Jerusalem is cooked to perfection and will feed you at least 2 to 3 meals. They really should put a disclaimer on the menu that you should share these platters as once you see how much flesh is on your plate, the pricing makes a bit more sense. The one downside to their meat is that certain cuts or dishes (chicken fajitas and lamb) tend to be a bit more oily or fatty then necessary and might require a bit of a trim in order to savor the meat itself. Overall a good kosher steakhouse option where if you walk out hungry, you did something wrong. read more

Jerusalem Steakhouse on Ave J has been catering to the Ave J neighborhood for more than 15 years. I've been coming here with the family since they opened and it's always great. AnimatThe starter salads and homemade laffa are fantastic. Their hummus and guac are must haves. The grilled chicken, shish kebab, schnitzel and skirt steak is always great! You won't leave hungry that's for sure. read more

I would give it a 4.5 if I knew how. I wasn't prepared for a great experience as I had not enjoyed it several years ago so I was pleasantly surprised. I was with my husband, cousin and friend and we were all very happy at the end of the meal. Right after sitting down several salads and a huge laffa were placed on the table.There as not a long wait for the main courses to come out. Kitty our waitress was amazing-no matter what we asked for the answer was yes. and she truly made the meal a good one.We asked for more laffa-no problem. My friend asked for more pickles, etc with her take out-no problem. The french fries are soft and homemade and the portion size was very good. The portion sizes were big enough for all of us to take food home. They are little expensive but not more than a lot of kosher ones and there is value for the money considering portion sizes. I had a burger but tasted the steak and it was excellent. I would definitely go back if the opportunity arises. It is a middle eastern restaurant so a lot of the salads and appetizers are middle eastern ones. read more

I've heard some great stuff about the steakhouse so I definitely wanted to give it a try. We ended up ordering the mixed grill, shawarma, and hummus. Before the order comes out, you're flooded with 8 small plates of various vegetables and a huge laffa bread -- all of which was absolutely delicious. They definitely use fresh ingredients and truly know what they're doing in the kitchen. By the time the entrees came out, we were practically stuffed. I recommend nibbling on the free stuff but remembering to leave plenty of room for the main entrees. I have to admit, it will be difficult as that stuff is addictive. The entrees are very large and regardless of what you eat beforehand, I recommend sharing a dish. The mixed grill was absolutely delicious but the schawarma surprisingly wasn't too tasteful. The place is nice and clean and the waitstaff is very friendly. I definitely recommend coming here. Just remember -- come hungry and share. read more

I have been passing near this place few times a week, but never tried their food. And since I had a friend visiting NYC who only eat kosher food, we went there to for lunch. I would like to say that I am so happy since this place offer high quality food, and delicious salads. We had the Lunch special, which is around 17$ and include salads drink and grilles meat. Everything was delicious, and I am really glad I found a place in Midwood that offer good Israeli food. read more

Jerusalem Steakhouse - The place from outside - Salad Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I just got my order from the restaurant and the food came ice cold and was the most bland tasting crap ive ever eaten . Save your money and go to a place that actually cares about what they put out for there customers . read more

This place is still holding number 1 steak house in Brooklyn. They first start you off with an assortment of salads and a large hot steaming lafa. The waitresses come almost immediately to ask if you want to order salads(chumus,eggplant,avocado etc)and drinks and possibly some kids meals. Then you have an option to mix any 2 main dishes together for the same price. The food is fresh and top of the line. They also have a large lunch special it not so cheap and a sandwich special for a decent price. read more

They have great kabab. But their have the worst hamburger that I ever had, and I had bad one in the J av already if you want throw away money 19$ buy the hamburger it too over Spices and taste disgusting read more

Food was good. Got an assortment of stuff. Chicken was moist and the pilaf with chick peas was delicious too. Whatever bread they gave us was soft and warm. Would definitely order from here again. They would get four stars if it wasnt for the fact that they didnt include forks knives or plates as part of a delivery. It was a big order too so it was a headache finding plates. Overall good food though. read more

We nave been coming for lunch here for two decades! Food is great and tasteful always! Good choice for kosher place

We came here with about 45 people. The service was fantastic. They served us without any issue and with a genuine smile. The food was very tasty and flavorful. When we wanted additional drinks, they came rather quickly. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious, no question. Nice variety to choose from + varied start salads + pita. Food is always fresh and yummy! Very nice waitresses eager to please. But this place is understaffed! When we were there last Sunday evening (first night of Chanukah) the place was full, with the same number of waitresses (I think 3) to serve a full house. From the time we ordered (including 3 children) until we received our food, it was just about an hour. This is not atypical here; yes, it could be half hour + to get your food. Unacceptable! The waitresses try their best but can't do much about it! The owners are not involved with the customers, except take their money + 20% automatic add on to bill for "service." Somehow, they keep doing it this way for years, and people keep coming back, I think. If you come for dinner at 5:00 on Sundays, you'll be fine. Otherwise, it's nerve wrecking! It doesn't seem like the owners care! Too bad. read more

Pretty solid kosher food. They have great hummus and meat, and bring out an abundance of salad starters (Israeli style). The service can be a little better, but that's the worst problem you'll have at this spot, in my experience. Delicious lamb skewers too! read more

Outstanding food! Great service. We were starving so it was so refreshing to have delicious food open late. The portion sizes are large too so you'll be really satisfied. read more

I really enjoyed the food there, and the people who work there are pretty nice, the steak is fantastic! I was defiantly stuffed and satisfied read more

Great portions and service. Food is also always delicious. This is usually a "go to" when I want meat and I am always very satisfied afterwards. read more

One of the best shnitzel i had in pita. I wasnt even hungry and i ended up eating so much. I just had to leave a review. It was So juicy and well done. Amazing food at such good prices. I highly recommend this to all steak fans and especially if u want good shnitzel, this is your place. read more

Decent food, very nice service. The pluses are they have very good portions for a good price. The steaks are big and it's only 40 bucks not to forget that any main course comes with two large side orders of your choice. Kebabs are pretty good as well. A table gets 6 mini salads for free as well as unlimited fresh out the brick oven bread. Only negative is it's a little loud and somewhat not like a high end look. And the biggest upset which is the only reason they get 4 starts is they mix their A1 sauce with water. I mean your a steak house who serves nice big steaks how can you do that lmao. read more

Lousy. It took nearly 45 minutes for the food to arrive with no apology. If you like chewy steak and soggy couscous then this is the place for you. Generous portions though and great fresh pita. read more

One of the best things about this place besides the food is the staff. Their waitress is so friendly and helpful when it comes to choosing what you want to eat. Everything she has recommended me so far has come out great. I haven't regret ordering a single thing. Their food is perfect. Just perfect. So well cooked and tasty. I definitely recommend this to everyone. Trust me you try it once, you'll find yourself there every other day. read more

Great food with good prices if u have the lunch specials. Its clean and with a friendly staff. I Always come with kids n no one minds the noise. The salads are fresh and tastey. A very good find if you eat kosher n are in that part of town. Highly recommended. read more

Was here with my fiancée for a dinner. This isn't the romantic type of restaurant but it definitely rates when it comes to pricing and taste. We ordered extravagantly and enjoyed every dish that we ordered. The portions are so large that we left over about half of what we ordered even after staying an extra hour because it was just too good to throw out. Our bill was just $100 after tip, for the amount we received it was a very good price. We'll definitely be returning. read more
