Ordered delivery today. Rice was cold, did not receive a side salad, fries were cold, normally get 2 pita but only one cold one received today read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. The ingredients were mouth wateringly fresh. I went for the vegetarian platter which consisted of humus, falafel, salad, olives, feta cheese and naan bread. So satisfying. We brought our own wine, corkage is €3. Lovely and bright in warm inside. Service was very friendly and attentive. Constant stream of people getting take out which had me excited that they do take out. Without doubt my favourite type of food. read more

Little Jerusalem - Vegetarian platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dublin, D

"For two? Do you have reservations?" - that was the first thing we heard when we got into this empty restaurant at 7 pm. Now that surprised me, I didn't expect a "formal" place in this way where reservations would be the norm rather than the exception - not used to that from Middle Eastern places which are often much more used by people for extended visits over food/tea and Shisha. I was glad we got a seat anyway, as the place did fill up during our visit. I looked on the menu for an item to combine as many flavours as possible and ended up with the first "house specialty" which had different kinds of lamb and chicken, hummus and tabouleh. My girlfriend ordered some crispy kind of veggie pancake, and we wanted the ful medames as a starter, as I haven't seen this around for a while. When we ordered this, the next surprise: "So what's for you for a starter than" as we only had one ordered - I thought it's all about sharing and caring... I also heard a similar "So you're not having any starters?" when the woman took the order at the next table. Felt again quite like a formal dinner rather than chosing the amount of food based on hungriness and yumminess. Then when the food arrived, I realized again that I'm not really the target audience of this restaurant, but they're probably looking for fancy Rathminers trying to go "exotic". All the food was arranged on the dinner-plate in a way which made it look like a typical Irish dish "here's your meat, on the other side there's your veg, and there's your potato mash -- or in this case - hummus". My girlfriends plate was arranged exactly the same way. The naan-bread was actually better than in many Indian places and the meat was good but in general I was missing all the flavours I'm used to - nothing very lemony, nothing very garlicy either. The baklavas we had for dessert looked delicious when we came in, however they were underbaked, and lacked a bit in flavour as well. Also all three types were exactly the same - nothing like pistachio, cashew, etc. the competition offers. The people there behind the counters were very very nice though. The bill in total came to about 40 Euro which is nothing to complain about and I guess low for Rathmines standard - but on par with my favourite Middle Eastern in Dublin. This might be a good option for a dinner for people who want to try something new, didn't have much Middle Eastern food before, but don't want to derive much from their comfort flavours. I'm not sure if I'll come back - I might, as I haven't found the ful anywhere else and they might deserve a second chance. read more

Little Jerusalem - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dublin, D

I don't have much to add to Jens's review, apart from that the homemade lemonade, although pricey, was really nice. Rose water and mint made it special. The rest of the night was less so than that. Meat-and-two-veg presentation on the plate, cauliflower "pancakes" which tasted like oil, a naan that looked and tasted awesome, but had the consistency of pita (which was just confusing), and the underbaked baklawas which looked like they'd had mystery pistachio paste smeared in the middle... I appreciated the munchy olives and spiced seeds we got to start with. The ful starter was also tasty, and the meat he got with his mezze was fine. The Arabic coffee after dinner, complete with cardamom pods, was also fun. I really ought to give this place the benefit of the doubt, and four stars. But overall I think it's bridging a strange line between exotic and Irishized- the stuff at other Middle Eastern places seems more standard than what Little Jerusalem has on its menu, but the looks of everything here are dollops and piles. Maybe it's the size of the servings or the plates, but other places have more art. Also, the staff were perfectly pleasant, quick and efficient with the customers, but looked so stressed behind the bar talking to each other! That detracted from the atmosphere, knowing our waitress was probably going crazy every time she looked away from the dining room. 3.5 stars from me. read more

Little Jerusalem - Arabic coffee by candlelight - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dublin, D

This place is an absolute charm, and it's kind of hidden off down Wynnefield Road, so it's kind of a hidden gem. When I was here the place was completely empty, which is kind of upsetting, because the food was absolutely gorgeous. They've got all kinds of little bites (see Quentin's pics) if you're hungry and want a snack and then they've got the bigger mixed meat dishes. I'd have to suggest going with a couple of friends and just ordering a couple things off the menu and eating the food family style, trust me it will save you from having to try and get your friends to look out the window as you try and steal their food! Oh and I forgot to mention my favourite part! They've even got yummy pizza on the menu that sure outshines that fast food junk! read more

Little Jerusalem - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dublin, D

Hmmm... middle eastern is the tag I have chosen for the category bit - I must get our friends in Yelp to add Palestinian and Lebanese cuisine to their list for this is what this brand spanking new eatery in the heart of Rathmines offers. The restaurant is immediately friendly and inviting as indeed are the staff - even to short fat balding writers who storm in demanding opening hours and website addresses and everybody smile and mmm.. that looks nice can I try a bit and bye... all in the space of 3 mins. As you can see from the pics the array of the food is mouth watering. the chefs are working right in front of you (I live that!) Little Jerusalem do takeaway and delivery too, so there's no excuse not to try them... and try you must. It is far too early for me to commit to and recommend any particular dish - I haven't tried 99% of them... guess I'll just have to go back! read more

What? I'd not reviewed Little Jerusalem before? I can't understand it! And here was me last night thinking I must write an update review. Five stars all the way. The food here has never let us down and this occasion was no exception. The falafel starter is excellent value for the amount of food you get. The spiced lamb on pastry is an even tastier starter and I am beginning to wonder why I have never order this. I always have food envy when my partner does. For a main I went for the mix meat plate that came with hummus, naan, tabbouleh and a garlic sauce. There was a lamb kafka, chick and lamb pieces. Alas I cannot tell you its name (head like a sieve) but I am sure both words in the name started with the letter M. The restaurant itself is is decorated really well, giving it a very authentic feel I think (I've not been to the Lebanon, so I don't really know for sure, but I like it!) The staff played a blinder too, as the place was jammers. We will be making a booking next time. Final word: BYOB. The best thing to happen to dining. Woohoo is right, Little Jerusalem is as good as it gets. For us anyway. read more

I'm going to get straight to the point on this one - it's definitely one of my favorite places to eat in Dublin, and the reasons can be explained thusly: 1) It's in Rathmines. I live a stone's throw away, so kudos on having your restaurant within close proximity of my gaff. 2) The food is yum - granted, I don't have an incredible amount of dining experience when it comes to Lebanese food, possibly rendering me a useless yelper on this one, but I know what tastes good and everything I've ordered so far has been stellar (The 'Kofka Pil Patata' is the snizzzzzzzle my dizzzzle). 3) Recently, myself and 10 other girls descended upon Little Jerusalem with all of our giggling, bottles of plonk, and high expectations. Everyone (more or less) seemed happy with what they ordered. The one person at the table who voiced (minimal) dissatisfaction was a friend who was visiting from that wonderous Land of London, where places like Little Jerusalem are on every block/street corner, and according to her, you get a hella' lot more for what you pay for over there. Having said that, we're in Dublin, where eating out isn't always as cheap as chips, and in my opinion, Little Jerusalem do a good deal, and you get quality grub for what you pay for. 4) The Waitress deserves an Oscar...or, whatever the culinary equivalent for being a legend is! She didn't even flinch as we hummed and hawed over the menu for about 20 minutes, waiting for latecomers to arrive, asking her every 5 minutes if we could have some more water , and at one point, knocking over the glass pepper shaker (I'm immensely proud that it wasn't me who knocked it over). I can safely say that her demeanor and soundness over the course of the evening actually added to the quality of our dining experience. 5) Coeliac friendly. I must admit, last time I went to Little J, I was disappointed with their lack of knowledge with regard to which foods were Coeliac friendly or not. Things seem to have moved on and they were incredibly helpful this time around, catering (with no fuss or stress) to the members of the group who have a slight physical aversion to Mr. Gluten. 6) BYOB people, BYOB. Need I say anymore?!!!! 7) Nice atmosphere, nice music, optimal lighting and candles... Of course, there are a couple of cons. I'm going to keep this short... 1) Tiny, tiny, tiny place you have there folks! To walk the length of the restaurant, surrounding customers have to suck in their stomachs and pull in their chairs...uncomfortable and embarrassing for those who don't boast the breadth and width of an ice cream wafer... 2) It may be argued that the portions aren't big enough...one lamb dish in particular had a depressing,skimpy scattering of lamb on it, AND it happened to be one of the most expensive dishes on the menu...I didn't order it though so I'm not too bothered!!!!! Now, this isn't a criticism, but a word to the wise - if you want to go here at the weekend, book in advance, because it always seems to be booked out (yay for them!). As far as I'm aware it's not open on Sundays and Mondays. On the whole - I'm a fan, and would have no qualms about recommending this place to people. Go forth and enjoy the baba ghanoush :) read more

Their delivery menu had found its way into our coffee table drawer, & one freezing night, craving something a bit lighter than Pizza Max, we gave them a call. Luckily, you can order off the menu by the item number, which saved me from completely garbling "Eaga," "Qatayef," and "Kofta Mashwiyeh". The food arrived 20 minutes later, & it was fresh, hot, & delicious (I recommend all the aforementioned dishes, a.k.a. 29, 33, & 44). A bit pricier than our typical delivery nights; well-worth it though. read more

Just ordered from little Jerusalem the food arrived cold (we live less than 2 min. Drive away) called to complain and was told "yeah, sorry about that. Bye" One of our orders they didn't have so have us some can olives instead. The halloumi hadn't been cooked. Last order from this place - venture away from Rotana done! read more

"Can I get the fasso..., the fazuh..., that one." I'd tangled with the menu, and been found wanting. I didn't make that mistake twice, when it came to dessert, I made a vague corralling gesture at the baklava selection. "These, please!" Little Jerusalem is a great spot, but it's back-street location and erratic opening hours means that when you see it's open, you just have to fill your boots. For the record, I had lamb with broad beans in a tomato sauce. Delicious, and really reasonably priced too. They do great takeaway too, and I've found myself stopping in for a few of their baklava on the way from work. It's BYOB, and with Devaneys and Tesco only up the road, you really have no excuse not to have a long, lazy meal here. read more

We had nearly 10 people in our party. It was cozy, as others have mentioned. The candlelit ambiance combined with really excellent, friendly service made our experience enjoyable. For starters, the chicken wings, baba ghanoush, hummus, naan, and falafel were great. For the main, I ordered the mixed meat dish. The salad was fresh, zesty, and tasty. The meats were succulent and nicely charbroiled. The only negative: the after-dinner espresso I ordered wasn't good at all. I didn't try the baklava, but it seemed to have been devoured with delight by the others. Price is very reasonable, though not dirt cheap. And, if you want a pint afterwards, just go next doors to Slatterys! read more

Nice restaurant this, although can be a little cold at times. The food is pretty great and the decoration is really nice. The staff are friendly and its not too badly priced. My favorite is the naan bread with spiced lamb on top for starters. read more

Great little place tucked off Rathmines Rd From walking past thought just takeaway but actually nice little restaurant. Went 7pm on Fri evening, lucky to get only unreserved table (full when left) Food is fantastic; aromatic and gently spiced. Starters about €6 mains €12. Its BYOB (which I really like), lots offy's nearby so not an issue. read more

J and I were in the mood for Middle Eastern so thought we'd wander over to Rathmines and give this place a try. It's hidden just off the main road in Rathmines and has a very cozy and inviting atmosphere. I'm a sucker for BYOW so they get huge points for that. While we sipped on our wine we decided on food and eventually signaled the waitress. To start we got the Baba ghanoush which is always a favourite of mine. Theirs was a very creamy variety with a nice smoky flavour that we both enjoyed. For my main I ordered the makloubet which was half a chicken served with aubergine, cauliflower, almonds, rice and Greek yogurt. The dish sounded amazing but the only amazing part was the rice. The chicken was bland and extremely dry - definitely not the chicken we have become accustomed to in Ireland! J's dish however was pretty good - mixed char-grilled skewers that give you a sample of chicken, lamb and lamb kofta. Overall we wanted to love this place but I much prefer Rotana Cafe. read more

This is a spanking good place, one of the best for Palestinian food in the city!! Little 'J' is small, really small, every inch is used so be prepared to eat elbow to elbow with your fellow dinners! If you are cool with that (and why wouldn't you be!?) then this place will take you straight to the Middle East! Service is brilliant, affable and fast and the food is nothing short of fantastic! Be warned, you will need to book as Little 'J' is a seriously popular spot but you could also try out their new place 'Jerusalem' at 77 Camden street! read more

Such a great food! That was truly almost Michelin level experience ;-). And we could bring our own wine which makes the experience even better. We started with halloumi and falafel. I'm not a big fan of falafel but this one was exceptionally well prepared. Very tasty and full of flavour so I felt like I could eat and eat few portions of it. For the main I had a lamb kebabs which were also very well prepared. Man, they know how to use their spaces! Portion wasn't too big so I still had a room for the dessert. I order some sort of local sweet cheese (it was s quite big portion so perfect for sharing). If you live in Dublin It's a must to go there. Definitely highly recommend!!! read more

Why would you ever go here when Rotana Cafe is 3 minutes away? Ordered delivery, delayed. When it came super dry, no sauces for dipping and meat overdone. Maybe I would've liked it better if I already wasn't spoilt Rotana with better service and food at a cheaper pricepoint read more

If you want a nice Palestinian type of cuisine this is for you. The place is small, cosy and everything reminds you of the owners origins. It's byob with a 6€ corkage. We shared starters which were a pizza filled with mince and hummus with bread. The pizza was particularly good. Then we both had the house special, a place filled with chicken, lamb and kofta served with taboulleh, salad, hummus, yoghurt sauce and more bread. It was good but I felt like the salads were lacking a bit of taste. Also they served the main course right after the starters so we were full pretty quickly. We then ordered a mint tea and were a bit disappointing to see it coming in a tea bag. Other than that the staff was great and the food was still really good! read more

It looks really lovely in the evening. It is on a little street, you have the feeling that you are travelling...it is warm and cosy. Cool atmosphere. The staff is friendly and welcoming. We had one of the house speciality : Mashawi Mushakala A selection of grilled chicken & lamb and Kofta skewer served with hummus, tabbouleh, sauce and Naan bread. All the meat was cooked perfectly , really tasty and tender,sooooo good ! : ) Plus, you can bring your own bottle'ssssss' hehee excellent ! Love it ! read more

Ever watched diners drive in and dives? This is the amazing dive tucked away in a side street in rathmines. Food is a little pricey in my opinion but the byob makes it a cheap night out. The staff can be a little moody some times but it is a great restaurant and we'll worth a visit. But be warned this secret is well out and you will have to book in advance. They are losing a star off the sometimes moody staff and sometimes the food is not as excellent as usual. read more

Funnily enough I live just down the road from here and last night was the first time I have ever eaten there. And I am definitely going to go back! I had the hummous to start and then the minced lamb with rice and chickpeas for my main. My friend had the minced lamb on pastry to start and then the vegetarian platter for her main. Everything was fresh and delicious and there was a wonderful smell of the other food cooking away there... We brought a bottle of wine and I don't think we were charged corkage. In total our meal came up to e35.00! My only complaint was that we were put in a corner and I was afraid of being elbowed by the woman at the next table. I wondered why we were put in such a tight space when there was so much room. It did get busy very quickly and we weren't pushed to go immediately after our meal so I can't complain too much. I'll be telling all my friends about Little Jerusalem and I look forward to eating there again soon. read more

I think 'cozy' best describes the ambience of Little Jerusalem although I can't decide if the name is ironic, provocative or just a little strange. The 'Little' bit is certainly accurate. As for the 'Jerusalem' bit, I think it's more Beirut than Tel Aviv. Not the place for an illicit meeting or intimate discussion unless you really want to be overheard by a very small roomful of perfect strangers. On a warmer evening it would probably be described as 'stuffy' if not downright 'sticky'. That said, the food was excellent. The Mixed Messa, Kofta Mashi and, my favourite, the Mashawi proving particularly popular although I found the presentation on standard dinner plates rather than all lumped in the centre of the table a bit odd. This kind of food is perfect for sharing and sampling and individual portions somehow inhibit that. Just a personal view. The nan bread was also excellent and was replenished a couple of times without asking. Whilst the BYOB policy is excellent in that it keeps the overall cost very low, we ran out of wine (for 4) midway through the main course after two bottles (service was a little slow to start but not annoyingly so) and we had to resort to the locally produced 2011 vintage H2O served in old bottles with a sad sprig of mint doing nothing to imporve the taste. Vile stuff, water. Very strong arabic coffees and some baclava rounded off the evening satisfyingly. A good time was had by all and a smidgin under €20 a head for an excellent meal was really good value for money. We shall return. read more

Let me be very clear. The food is average BUT what happened with my last order is jut unbelievable. I was told the food would arrive in 45 minutes. Instead, I waited for 2 whole hours and the food was cold. The owner apologized but never offered me any reimbursement and the driver tried to overcharge me on top of everything. Little Jerusalem most definitely lost me and many others as a customer tonight and I can just recommend to anyone never to order from there. read more

Let me start by saying I have no clue about food/s from this region of the world. I am completely dumb when it comes to remembering the names of the dishes...what they are...well you get me..bla bla. Want to try something you wouldn't normally...then give yourself a kick in the "bum" and sit down in Little Jerusalem. Bring your own drink (Tesco is less than 2 mins walk). The food was just delicious - share your dishes and the experience will be more interesting. I will be returning...Im the one eating with my hands and wiping sause from my chin yyyuuuummmmmmmm read more

How this restaurant can still be open? Everything was dry like the desert. We really felt that it was yesterday food. I was in Jerusalem few month ago, I know the taste of Palestinian food and it's far away from that. Their makloubet was so dry that the rice was crispy, I prefer don't talk about desert, a SHAME. There are way better middle east restaurant in town, don't bother with this one. read more

I came in, saw a main curse and was like: "I don't think I'll be full after that". I went out and was like: "I can't eat anymore! I'm full!" The food is really nice and it's one of the rare restaurants where starters don't taste like they don't put any effort into them. Luckily I could try more than one starter. The best one was the "pizza thing" (I forgot the name but I'm sure if you ask for the "pizza thing" you will get it). After that and a really nice main curse you will probably be full BUT don't stop! The dessert is worth it. read more

Ate here on a Thursday nite. The food is your usual middle eastern (Arabic) fare - hummus, falafel, dips and pittas for starters I got the wings - chicken tasted like it had been re-heated and wings, even tho I was starving, were poor. My partners dips and bread were lovely and great to pick at starter Main course the fish and rice had being heated in the microwave. while her lamb and rice was good but not massive portion. I would like to note here the food looked healthy think indian without the massive portions dripping in grease. it was fresh at least or should I say microwave fresh Desserts - filo pastry and quatfa were delicious if you are in to filo's and Arabic desserts definitely worth a walk in for. overall cost for 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 desserts = € 60 if I wasn't so hungry I would have been very disappointed with the starter (wings) but then again my partner had the hummus with dip which was lovely. so maybe a case of sticking to whats actually middle eastern in a middle eastern eatery and not winging :) it by ordering non authentic food. Its a funny thing sometimes you go somewhere and even tho the food wasn't great. I would still go back on the weekend with a view to having a bottle of vino or two and chilling out over bowl of food that can be picked at with a few friends - I liked the BYOB, the ambience and to be honest this type of food is great for a lazy Friday or Saturday nite out (hummus, pitta breads, various spicy dips over a bottle or two of red -delish) so overall food isn't going to blow you away but still a nice cheap and cheerful healthier alternative to an indian read more

I agree with Yamin's review below. LJs has started to go seriously downhill. I have travelled widely in the middle east, and I've been to this restaurant regularly in the last five years, so I can say: try somewhere else for your middle eastern food - BYO is the only thing LJs still has going for it. The lamb was very dry... yesterday's, probably. The falafel seemed to have been cooked from frozen, and the rice had clearly been microwaved, and tasted of plastic. The nice hot sauce that used to accompany most dishes has gone. My lamb koftas were supposed to come with a chick pea salad, but they did not. And the baklava was a disaster, served with cool whip and raspberry sauce, like a 99. (Our mains were overpriced at €16:50 and the baklava was €5.50 - total ripoff for the quality) What happened when we mentioned these grievances? The waiter argued with us! Told us we were wrong! That's terrible, terrible service. Finally we were offered a replacement baklava - but we just told him it was awful! Why would we want another serving? No apology. No offer of a future discount. Must do better. Train your staff in basic customer service. Under new management? Bring the old one back. read more

Neat little restaurant tucked away just off Rathmines main street. Freshly made bread, high quality lebanese food and great atmosphere. Would recommend as a place for reasonable priced good quality food. You won't be disappointed. read more

From the outside this looks like a takeaway and it is a takeaway also. It's definitely not a pretensious place, but the food is excellent. What I had was nice bright colours, a class above the typical Middle eastern, though perhaps not equal o the best, but good value for money Apparently it's BYOB. read more

We waited for a few days to get a table as this place is small and popular. You can bring your own alcohol and pay 2€ corking charge which is superb. I have a ton of experience with Middle Eastern food so I can honestly say the food here is really not that bad, even quite good. The problem is that it's way overpriced, especially considering the portions you get and the cost of ingredients which are known to be very cheap (chickpeas, chicken, tomato, onion etc.). They are making crazy margins and people are actually paying. For starters we had the Babaganoush (€6.10) which was a really small bowl, quite tasty but so small. We also had the Falafel which at €6.10 which just a ripoff. It was tasty and all but the plate had a spoonful of hummus and just 2 average sized falafel balls. That is 3.05€ per falafel, unheard of. For the main courses we had a selection of lamb and chicken skewers that were served with a simple salad which claimed to be a Palestinian salad though that is suppose to be finely chopped and served with parsley/mint, which this wasn't. All meals are served with naan bread, not sure why they cannot make pitas here or at least call the naan bread Laffa, which is exactly what it is. For dessert we had Arabic coffee which was very good but then got ripped off again with the Baklava. At 4.25€, you'de expect to get something in return but not here. We received a tiny plate which 3 mini Baklavas, which were totally dry. So overall, a disappointing experience experience for a restaurant we heard so much about. read more

We went there for dinner on a Saturday night. The restaurant was lively and the staff were efficient and welcoming. Unfortunately the food wasn't great. We ordered two of the restaurant's signature dishes - Mashawi Mushakala (lukewarm pieces of meat with very ordinary hummus) and Mulihea Pilaranp (a plate of rice and a bowl of vaguely minty soup with cold lumps of lamb floating in it). The couple beside us also said that their food arrived cold, so it didn't seem to be a once-off problem. The desserts sounded great, and we ordered cardamom tea, Arabic coffee and what was described as rich date cake; the tea turned out to be a glass of water with a teabag in it and three cardamom pods floating on top. No discernable flavour of cardamom. Arabic coffee should be boiled three times in an ibrik - the coffee that arrived had clearly been made in a coffee maker and thenpured into an ibrik. The date cakes turned out to be three dry tasteless disks with the consistency of fortnight-old fig rolls. The last delight was the bill, which arrives in a box which has a lovely picture of Palestine covered by a PLO flag, with the Jews living there literally wiped off the map. It certainly made sure we left the restaurant with a nasty taste in our mouths, in more ways than one. read more

Similar experience to some recent reviews below. - I feel it has gone downhill lately. So sad because this restaurant used to be my "local", as in a trusted option for a tasty meal in the neighbourhood. On my most recent visit I ordered the falafel (as I usually do) and found it so dry, it seemed like a microwaveable version you get in Tesco or something. I mentioned this to the waiter and he got seriously stroppy and said it was freshly made. However, it just did not taste as good as on previous visits. My companion got the Mashawi Mushakala, again the usual, and said that while they weren't BAD, they just weren't as tasty as they used to be. The portion size had decreased drastically also. Don't even get me started on the ghastly baklava, also seemed to have come from some deep freezer somewhere. It was so stodgy and not a nut in sight. The highlighter coloured pink sauce over it was just bizarre. We couldn't finish it. All in all, while the meal was relatively tasty, I'd have serious reservations going again. Too expensive for what you get. BYO is great, but that's not enough to excuse bad service and the worsening quality of the dishes. read more

hello!! I recently went to little jerusalem in rathmines, D.6. for a tasty, early bite before heading out and I wasn't disappointed. Their menu isn't overflowing with choice but that's a good thing for the indecisive like myself. They have a varied selection, between vegetarian and meat dishes. It has a healthy mix and there's no messing around with service, they're so polite, courtious and above all else... quick. It was a pleasure to be treated in such a way, because I've found more recently that other dublin businesses are too quick to get you in and get you out without so much as a hello! Returning to little jerusalem, the food was delicious, fresh ingredients and presented well. I have no complaints... apart from at the end of the meal, when I asked for a herbal mint tea and ended up with a cup of normal tea with mint leaves in it. But we joked with the waiting staff about that afterward. If there is to be a fault, it would be that the restaurant itself is slightly small, but that is easy to put up with when the food and service is at such a high level. Oh, before i forget, you can bring your own, with free corkage before 7p.m. i think! Enjoy... read more

DO not order took an hour and 20 minutes to arrive! The staff were rude. The food was cold and poor quality! When I rang to ring after receiving the food the phone was off the hook! If you can't deliver an order, don't take it!!!!! read more

First time i've tried out Little J though it's very close from our place. I regret i haven't tried out earlier ! It was really good. I went for a chicken dish called.. hm... something :) (i really can't remember the name, sorry). It was delicious. Served with home made pita bread and a bit of onions covered of lemon. He actually made the pita bread in front of me which i thought was really cool. I just regret that i didn't get vegetables with the chicken. I didn't know it wasn't part of it since it usually is in other restaurants. They should mention that you might need a side dish to complete the meal. Otherwise i ate well thanks to their amazing cooking. No wonder it's always so full of people (yeah pretty busy place so you might consider booking a table if dining on place). The kitchen takes most of the space of the restaurant which allows you to watch them cook. It's very small but warm and well decorated. I ordered to take away and appreciated how fast i got served. read more

The rating is for the Takeaway/ Delivery service only. Not the sit in. The food was absolutely dreadful. I would stay clear if anyway considering. the food was cold, poorly portioned, soggy, presented badly, and bad tasting. The naan bread was the worst part of the meal altogether. I would have thought they could offer a good delivery service considering the restaurant is good. If you want this type of food go for a Zaytoon. read more

I had the Mezza plate, very good portions and exceptionally tasty. It is quite easy for places like these to churn out similar food without the wow factor but Little Jerusalem is different. Big portions all served with a side of freshly baked steaming naan. I cannot recommend it enough. read more
