    Being the romantic sort, I took my wife here on Valentine's Day. I made the right move, for once…read more We loved it. We had the tilapia plate and falafel combo. Both delicious. What really stood out, though, was the fava plate appetizer. It's a dip that comes with pita bread but it's not like hummus. You could eat it with a spoon. It could be a meal, a very tasty one. You order at the counter, then wait at your table, listen to some middle eastern grooves and a short time later a super friendly server brings your food. The place is great!

    The food here is very good. The falafel is crispy on the…read moreoutside and fluffy on the inside. Very generous pieces. Not your typical round shape but more of a tube/long shape which really works great for dipping them in tzatziki. We also had grape leaves which come warm. Yummy! We had a chicken shawarma and gyro entree. Both came with rice, salad, pita, and hummus. All very good. My one criticism is I prefer my protein sliced more thinly instead of a thick cut. It's a texture issue for me. The thicker, the chewier. The chicken also had a bit of chewy skin. It could have had more flavor. Still good but this is what made my review 4 instead of 5 stars. I thought the gyro had a little more flavor than the chicken. You order at the counter and then they walk your food out to you when it's gone. Our two appetizers came out very quickly. Our entrees just a few minutes later. Service was smooth and very good. The guys working there were all friendly. Great service! The restaurant is very clean, plenty of seating, and lots of appropriate artwork. It was cold in there but it was really hot outside that day so they had the air turned up. It did make my dining in experience a bit tough since I couldn't escape sitting under an air vent but I don't really want yo criticize them much for running the air in a hot day. That's better than the alternative. On the way out I got a small variety pack of baklava and a rice pudding. Both really good! I'm still eating the baklava. I really like being able to get the variety! It's hard to choose. We would definitely go back again. On the way out, we saw 2 gentleman with gyro salads. Wow, it's a huge bowl with gyro piled high! Looked fantastic and I want to try the gyro salad now!

    They have a lot of options. The menu is right beside the counter where you order.

    (Parts from original review 10/13/2022) * OMGOODNESS!…read more We soooo enjoyed our meal here. This restaurant serves up huge portions and extremely delicious Mediterranean fare. I'm always taking food home. The fresh vegetables they served in our salads were positively the freshest we've enjoyed outside of our home. The Lamb was magnificent! Also the falafel and the hummus were the best we've ever had. Smooth and savory, without being too acidic and overpowering with lemon. The entire meal was unforgettable in a great way! We'll be loyal patrons for life! So glad they opened this location so close to our home. They also serve up the best fresh squeezed lemonade ice ever had... I ordered the mint flavored lemonade. However, they have cherry, strawberry, and blueberry as well.. all fresh made to order. Only one size... about 32 ounces... also enough to share! We highly recommend at "any hour", always hot, and always fresh to order! A must try!

    Due to the rainy day, I found myself in Independence, MO for my kids to play indoor pickleball vs…read more outdoors. Using Yelp to find a healthy lunch for myself and some fellow pickleball moms, I came across Jerusalem Cafe. It was super close to the venue, I could order online, and it had some delicious looking options. Plus in addition to the great reviews, I saw a local family enjoying their Jerusalem Cafe order which cemented my decision. I went with a Greek Salad + Chicken Gyro for myself and ordered a "Build a Bowl" for one friend and another Greek Salad another friend. I also ordered a hummus with veggies for us to share. Everything was ready for pick-up when I arrived. Service was friendly and I found the pricing to be fair - especially for the large portions. It was around $45 total for all of the above. We enjoyed everything we ordered as well as the pita it came with. Was it the best I've ever had? No. Was it perfect for the occasion. Absolutely. I would definitely consider ordering from here again or even dining in as the restaurant is fast casual, offers plenty of parking, and appeared clean. Thanks Jerusalem Cafe!
