    Chicken kabob and spicy rice

    I Love this place. It's my favorite! I live 40min away and everytime I'm in the area I stop there. The chicken kabob is my go to, I usually don't like rice but the spicy rice here I swear is amazing and paired with the garlic sauce . The people who run the place are also wonderful people! You must stop here if you are in the area!

    Vegetarian plate perfect for lent. Each bite is savory and mouth watering. Very authentic Mediterranean food.

    So we wanted something different tonight we decided to try the Taste of Jerusalem for the first time.... We ordered both beef and chicken shawarma which was quite tasty.. and actually wasn't dry I've had it from other restaurants in the past and this was a problem.. We ordered the falafels, which were one of the best ones I've had... We also ordered the Baba Ganoush that was also delicious... I wish that they had had pita chips .. because I'm a dipper.. I'm a fan of basmati rice .. although their spicy rice was way too hot for me,.. I know it would have been good. Had it not been too hot for my taste... And I prefer more of a yellow rice than just white, but everybody's place does things differently..... Overall it was a decent meal.....

    Phenomenal Mediterranean food. The best in the area. Always fresh, always delicious. We love this restaurant & everything that comes out of their kitchen. The vegetarian plates are spectacularly tasty. My boys love the combo plates. Chicken skewer, Beef skewer, kafta skewers, super juicy & tasty!! This is a family owned business. Mary is amazing. We order often, but weekdays from 2-5p is generally the time for the fastest, ultra direct service, Come check them out then or anytime!

    See all

    This was simply an amazing meal. We got the meat combination and the veggie combination plates and it was perfect for two people.

    Delicious so full of flavor however the serving of rice compensates for the meat serving.

    Great food, authentic ambience and the service is top-notch. However, their hours stayed till 9…read moreo'clock and they stopped making food at 8:30 as I was just told.

    My friend recommended this place to me since I go to Middle Eastern restaurants and cafes semi…read moreoften. This is located next to B'n Chingon (an okay Mexican place). Parking is sufficient. This is a nice, small Middle Eastern market compared to Souq Fresh Market in Lombard. Souq is very big. This market has a lot of unique Middle Eastern snacks that I've never seen before along with a kitchen that you can order lunch and dinner from. Lunch is served 10 am - 2 pm. I believe dinner is served from 2 pm to 9 pm. Don't quote me on the end dinner times. They have 3 tables that you can eat at. I came after 10:20 am and I ordered the chicken kufta lunch special, two different kinds of samosa, and kebabs. Prices were cheap, I got all of this for $25. They also have an area where you can get some fresh meat and deli items. Staff was friendly. Overall 4 out of 5. If they fixed the kebabs, it would easily be a 5. -chicken kufta lunch special 5 - he made this fresh. You get one pita bread with it. Meat was soft and tender. The rice and salad were very tasty. Huge portion. -samosas 5 - I got one beef and one potato. They were both delicious. -kebabs 3.5 - he gave me two big kebabs but they did not taste freshly made. I'm no stranger to kebabs and I usually like my kebabs to be tender and juicy. These were semi tough and kind of dry inside. I can see the spices in them but they would taste even better new.
