They were pretty nicely busy on a Sunday night but we didn't have to wait too long for our food which was nice. While we were waiting though, we saw an order of the fries that looked super yummy and had to order one. The food was all super delicious. : German Style Beef Lamb Gyro Gemuse: The German Style Gemuse I was nicely flavored with goat cheese, fresh and sundried tomatoes. The first bite I took was pretty heavenly. The plate was also pretty yummy but I prefer the burger form. Fries: We also appreciated the fries which tasted freshly fried. They had a nice density to them and the outside had a nice thicker layer which I didn't expect but was still delicious. Baklava: Their baklava also looked beautiful so we had to try one. We got their cold baklava which was sort of milky at the bottom and flaky on top with pistachio filling in the center. It was really delicious and not too sweet and would highly recommend. I will definitely come back to try their other menu items!

I wanted to like this place but the Yelp ratings had me optimistic. I ordered via delivery, the…read moredolma and the Adana kebab wrap about 30 minutes before closing, and I have to be honest, the experience didn't match the hype. The dolma were overly acidic, and I'm not talking about squeezing the lemon they included, this was baked into the filling itself. Four pieces for $9.95 also felt steep for what you get. The kebab wrap arrived on lavash when I ordered pita, which is a small but noticeable detail. The first few bites were underwhelming but I will say it redeemed itself toward the end. Got really juicy and the flavor came through in the last few bites. I'm left wondering if ordering close to closing affected the quality, or if this is just what to expect. Either way it didn't match the ratings for me. Maybe I'll give it another shot in person someday, but for now I'd explore other options first.

We arrived around 5pm and many tables outside weren't cleared but there were many seats available…read more We were told to wait outside when we're supposed to order at the cashier first, so I was confused. The ladies took awhile to get us seated outside, only to then tell me to order inside. The super efficient guy with the red shoes was quick to take our order of chicken shish tawook and Mezze sampler. Portions are large and food was great! We love people watching as the N Judahs goes by. It's Arab comfort food in a cozy indoor/outdoor setting.Sooo good!

The food was great. I'm someone who is vegetarian (no eggs)…read more We got the Falafel Platter and it was good. It was very similar to other falafel dishes I have tried in other restaurants. I got Baba Ganoush was good and liked it a lot My friend (who s vegetarian but eats eggs) got the Ful with egg and she loved it a lot. (Must try acc to her) The service was good. The ambiance was very snug and cozy (we sat inside, outside it is freezing) , but it does get very loud in there

Everything we ordered was delicious. Especially loved the…read morekoobideh and Kashk-e Bademjan. I would go here again in a heart beat. The lamb tongue was ok too chewy not worth for the price. Ambiance is cute, we got seated in less than 10 min when we came around 7PM on a Friday.

Lavash (good food) was what lead me to be in a mood. Great way to support local communities…read morethrough their unique culinary creations, especially during women's history month. I'm sure there are other Persian cafés and restaurants as good as Lavash. I hardly stop to think about what made Lavash interesting. The floral aroma throughout the entire atmosphere, the gentleness of the waiters and hostesses who're well focused on serving others, and their signature paper thin Lavash bread. A clear teapot filled with saffron tea with rock candy on a stick; seen how they dip it in after pouring the tea. Interesting orange color indeed! A plate of zucchini, grape tomatoes, Moroccan mint leaves, and a pair of Bulgarian cheese; complimentary for my first visit here. Persian noodle soup, filled with beans, chickpeas, and lentils; loved the floral notes in every spoonful. Main course, veggie kabob on a bed of basmati rice drenched in saffron and spices, along with some onions and mushrooms, and of course, a large Lavash bread at the bottom to fill the whole plate. The best part is to completely sandwich wrap after I marginalized the contents on the plate. Ahhh! Satisfying to the last bite of herbs and spices. Not filling though, but I had no need for any dessert. Another highly recommended place to eat for locals and tourists alike. I let some of my friends know how much they'll love the best Persian dishes locals raved about. Thumbs up for the people of Lavash!

Great food. Large menu with variety. Can get vegetarian platter too…read more The shwarma salad was soo much meat on top of a little bit of salad. HEART SHAPED Cheese stuffed falafel and STAR/FLOWER SHAPED onion stuffed falafel were good and big pieces! The shaped, so adorable! Cut up and share. I didn't taste much cheese. Many tables, spacious It's on the pricier side for Mediterranean food. average $30 per person for one entree and falafel. Presentation and food is good!

Dropped by on a weekend afternoon for a late lunch. There's plenty of seating and the restaurant…read morehas a nice vibe to it. 1) Staff - very courteous and attentive 2) Cleanliness - our table was not very clean and there was leftover food under the table 3) Loaded falafel fries - my favorite dish. The falafel was on point, 5/5 4) Hummus with shawarma - average. Meat lacked flavor and depth, and the hummus was ok. 3/5 5) Musakhan - came highly recommended based on other reviews but I was not a fan. The caramelized onion makes the whole wrap very sweet and takes away from the flavor of the meat. 2/5.

There was complimentary bread which was insanely good and fluffy and warm plus tahini and an onion tomato sauce I think along with radishes and olives. We are not olive ppl sadly but I tried one and it was pretty okay. The service was great and all the servers were super attentive and accommodating. The Stuffed falafel was so good and huge 1 is enough for 2 people. The mosabaha was very refreshing and so good. The meat combo was good overall and everything was very herbally spiced, I wasn't impressed by the lamb tho but the kebab, hummus, and chicken were great! I haven't had Mousakhan before so not sure how it should taste but to me it was sweet and savory with really well cooked chicken. I honestly felt pretty healthy overall cause I was eating hella veggies and everything tasted so fresh. The kunafa was good we got it crispy and was yummy imo but was a lil oily (I think this is normal tho). Arab food isn't really spicy but it is spiced and very herbal which I felt in the food here, I appreciate that chili sauce is provided for the spice lovers. Overall, would highly recommend. It was about $100ish for everything and they recently increased their prices but tbh the portion sizes are huge and I feel like it is so worth it we had hella leftovers. If we had 4 ppl instead of 2 it would've been perfect portions for everyone.

We've come across and heard about Old Jerusalem before and felt like having middle eastern food…read moretonight, so we took a chance and tried them out. When we arrived at around 7:30 pm, there were tables available. It's a comfortable cafe-like restaurant with mural paintings on the wall. Service was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as the ambiance and waitstaff. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF SHAWERMA ENTREE ~ the beef was overly salted, saffron rice was ok, hummus was really thick, like peanut butter. My guy ordered this and thought it was average. 3/5 LAMB SHISH KEBAB WRAP ~ this was my dish. I ate one half of the wrap and it only held two cubes of lamb meat. The lettuce and tomatoes made the wrap bland. The meat was seasoned, but everything was plain, so it needed more seasoning. Honestly, this was missing flavor! I'll have to add something to it when I eat the rest of this wrap at home. 2.5/5 HALF ROASTED CHICKEN AND RICE ~ Our friend ordered this dish. It needed more sumac. This tasted like plain roasted chicken. Maybe it needs more seasoning while marinating. It wasn't dry, so that's a relief. Rice was ok and it wasn't dry or soggy. 3.5 We've been spoiled and have had better food in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Nothing stood out for any of us. Prices are a bit high for what you get. Sadly, probably won't be back.

If you're looking for authentic Pakistani & Indian food that tastes exactly like home, this place…read moreis an absolute MASHALLAH. This is not just a restauran - it is an experience filled with hospitality and the comforting feeling of being with family. Mr. Waqar & Mrs. Rabia are most humble people you will ever meet. From the moment you walk in, they welcome you with such sincerity and affection that you instantly feel at home. Mrs. Rabia has a remarkable way of making every guest feel special. She treats everyone with the same care & love a mother would show her own children. The food is outstanding, with generous portions and authentic flavors that transport you straight back to Pakistan/India. For breakfast lovers, the Halwa Puri with cholay is among the best I have had (available any time of the day, 7 days a week, is a huge bonus. The homemade parathas remind me of my mother's cooking, my absolute favorite & something I crave regularly. Chicken Biryani with Shami Kabab bring back memories of home with every bite. The Chapli Kabab paired with fresh paratha is simply irresistible-I can never get enough of it. The Beef Haleem is rich, authentic, & prepared exactly the way it should be. The Lamb Shank served with biryani rice is another exceptional dish that showcases the quality and authenticity of their cooking. Our first visit was only a month ago & since then we have already returned around 10 times. That alone speaks volumes. If you want delicious food, authentic flavors, generous portions, and hospitality that makes you feel like family, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended.

This is more like 3.5 star…read more Was at an event near by, found this place on yelp and decided to try it out. There was maybe one other customer when we reached and I guess that helped with getting the food quicker. I think , most of their curries / entrees are pre made . They also mentioned that they use frozen naans ( probably the ones sold at Indian stores ) but make the parathas fresh. Which was true. It came out piping hot and it's huge in size. We decided to get 2 different combos , so as to try more options. Got Paneer tikka masala, chana masala, palak paneer and daal makhani. The Daal makhani was not as creamy / buttery as it's supposed to be. All tasted decent , and on the milder side I would say. I feel all of them could have used a little more salt. It's reasonably priced . They also had back patio kind of area, which would be nice on a warm day.
