I love falafel, and I've only had bad falafel once, so I expected your good standard falafel. This…read moredish in its totality is probably in the top two falafel experiences I've had.

A mixed crowd of younger/older/friends/couples. The owner Mustafa is also very friendly and kind. They have a punch card here and I think your 6/7th hookah is free. They played good mix of music but they also offered to play whatever we liked which was nice.

They were also generous with the pita bread, which was a nice touch. My one disappointment was the gyro, which was smaller than I remembered. That said, prices have stayed reasonable given how much everything's gone up lately, so I can't complain too much. Overall a nice place, and I'd go back.

If you're visiting Kansas City, make time for Aladdin Cafe…read more The owner and chef is one of the kindest people you'll meet, and that care comes through in every detail. You feel welcomed the second you walk in, and somehow that warmth makes its way into the food too. I've tried just about every Mediterranean spot in Kansas City, and this one stands out every single time. It tastes the most authentic and the least commercial by far. Everything feels fresh, intentional, and made with care. Nothing tastes rushed or mass produced. There's real love in the food here, and you can taste it. Their dolmas especially take me right back to my grandmother's kitchen. That kind of food memory is hard to put into words, but if you know, you know. Comforting, fresh, flavorful, and made in a way that feels deeply rooted and genuine. With the World Cup approaching and so many people coming through Kansas City, visitors need to know about places like this. These are the local spots worth seeking out. The kind you leave talking about afterward and craving again the next day. And if they have the mint lemonade, order it. The rose lemonade is always incredible too. If you can get both, mix them and thank me later. A true Kansas City gem. You won't regret stopping here.

If I would order the hummus again, I would get extra pita. The hummus was some of the best I have ever had, so smooth and fresh. The chicken was great as well, I really enjoyed the sauce. The side salad and rice would usually be nothing to write about, but these were superb. The salad really is that good! This place now has a spot in my takeout rotation.

I went to Jerusalem Café today with some friends, and I can't believe I had forgotten about this…read moreplace! 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!

I think I'm a hummusexual…read more.. 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.

Chicken swarma to die for! This restaurant is so delicious. Everything on the menu is fabulous. I…read morehave loved going here for years. Besides the dine in option, there is outside dining, as well. They have quaint chairs and tables outside in good weather. Staff has always been super nice and accommodating. They have been patient about special requests and substitutions. The decor is very nice and tasteful. The only problem I have with this restaurant is the location. It is located in downtown lawrence and parking can be an issue at times. It's not the fault of the restaurant, it is just a minor inconvenience. The restaurant is easy accessible and there is a parking garage a few blocks. Prices are reasonable and in line with the quality of food. Simply delicious food at this sweet restaurant.
