The seating is all booths under a television usually blasting Bollywood videos that are hilarious. My wife and I love this place and don't ruin it by going every few months. It always satisfies.

I was happy to receive two takeout dinners from the Sunday night special of this restaurant…read moretonight. The combination of the Butter Chicken and the Tika Marsala, with extra Basmati rice and Nan bread, was a welcome sight with stunning visual textures of soft tomato soup with cheese bearing resemblance to red acrylic paint. As I spread the savory mix on the Nan, I was loving the flowing aromas of Indian style spices emanating from the large bowl I was using. The taste that followed was a burst of flavors I had not experienced in a few years, when I was practicing Indian-style recipes I found in the culinary magazine "Saveur". The chicken in both dishes had a firmer texture with a delightful chew where I could almost taste the muscle fibers individually or together. It was well-cooked in the flowing red sauce it came with, but nobody could describe it as "falling off the bone" (what some people may mistakenly describe good BBQ chicken as). The heat came on strongly in these paired dishes, so I would suggest that anyone indulging in this kind of cuisine drink cold Ginger Ale with it. Half my family is from Mexico, so me encanta la comida picante, but the other side is from New York, so the cold and sweet ginger element would help put out that fire. I read that this restaurant has a buffet, so I am planning to visit with my family and put a dent in their delicious spread.

Upon entry, the service felt a bit slow. This was our first time visiting, so we weren't sure if we…read moreshould seat ourselves or wait to be helped. We were noticed multiple times but not acknowledged, and no one told us something simple like "feel free to sit anywhere," so we ended up standing there for over five minutes before finally being seated. Once we sat down, things improved. In my opinion, the food could have been hotter it was more warm than hot. That said, the flavors were really good. And the star of the show: their naan bread WOW. Seriously, I could just eat that and be completely happy. It's made in-house, and you can definitely tell. Absolutely delicious. Prices are very affordable, which is a big plus. Despite the slow start, I would come back again.

What we didn't expect was the very high pricetag that came with our meal! Very small dining room with old school diner tables and booths. We were greeted upon entering, but from the kitchen as it's literally a mom and pop establishment. No front of the house staff. After a few minutes, the owner and cook came for our order. We got 2 delectable samosas as apps. Very crispy and savory. I ordered the chicken vindaloo and my girl the chicken curry. We asked for spicy+. The dishes didn't disappoint! Super flavorful and even though it didn't burn our mouths, we were definitely sweating and had clear sinuses! The garlic nan was very good, but could have used just a tad bit of salt to bring out the flavors. We also got the chicken nuggets and fries for a kids meal and even though the owner forgot about it, he quickly put that in and added extra nuggets. Again, food was great, but the prices don't really leave a desire to come back... Especially with a full buffet at University Market 5 minutes away! Our meal came out to $50!! I did the math and he definitely over charged about $5 at least, and I should have clarified that, but I just tipped 10% instead. Even if he hadn't done incorrect math, $45 for 2 medium sized entrees, 2 nan breads, 1 (complimentary?) rice, 1 kids meal, with 2 waters and a juice is way too much. I'd only go here again if the Indian craving hits super hard on a Sunday when University Market is closed.

The building is fairly large with 2 levels. It has a good amount of parking space and plenty of seating. The interior is cozy with warm lighting. I ended up ordering the Mango Lassi and the goat biriyani. We also had an order of butter naan for the table. The mango lassi is refreshing and smooth. It is aromatic and comes in a tall glass. It pairs well with the cuisine. The goat biriyani was excellent! It came packed to the brim in a generous deep bowl. The goat was tender but could have used some more seasoning. The rice was fragrant and enhanced the flavor profile of the goat. Overall, the food satisfied our Indian food craving and the service staff was kind. A unique quirk is that each table gets a complimentary can of Thumbs Up (Indian version of coca cola) and some fresh sliced veggies with a mint sauce. We'll definitely come back to try more dishes!

I had been wanting to try Jerusalem Mediterranean Bistro and store for a while. Here in the RGV,…read moreMexican food is everywhere, but when you want something different, unique, and delicious, this is a great option. Jerusalem Mediterranean Bistro faces Trenton Road in a small shopping center at the intersection with Sugar Road. It's flanked by other stores and because it's not large it's easy to miss. As I walked inside I was intrigued by the calm ambience and the soft Middle Eastern music playing in the background. The window had a beautiful display of various sets of tea and coffee pots and cups, dates, nuts, as well as other items. I walked down the wall on the right which is lined with shelves containing all kinds of Middle Eastern foods for sale: canned, dry foods, spices, and even a freezer in the back with frozen foods, most of which I won't try to spell. Only one I remember well enough and that is the frozen falafel ready to heat up and enjoy at home. The owner / operator welcomed me, and even gave me a free sample of hot tea as he explained that all their ingredients are authentic and imported from the Middle East. As I waited for a friend who was to join me I viewed the menu and saw they offer gyros, falafel, shawarma, sandwiches, soups, kabobs, salads, and plates of lamb, beef, chicken and more. They have Vegan or vegetarian options as well with entrees like lentil soup, hummus, salads, etc. For drinks they have imported drinks, teas, juices, carbonated and non-carbonated, mineral waters, fresh water, and beers. You can get tacos and a soft drink anywhere. Here, you can get authentic Mediterranean cuisine and an imported drink unlike anything you've had before. I got the gyro, the lentil soup, and a Freez carbonated fruit drink. They were all delicious. The fries that came with the gyro was so good and well seasoned I didn't need Ketchup. The Tzatziki sauce on the gyro was amazing. The lentil soup was also delicious and satisfying like a comfort food. Prices are very reasonable - especially considering much is imported. The service was excellent and friendly. This is a great place for a business lunch or a place to meet uo with friends or family. My friend and I really enjoyed our meal and want to return. Do yourself a favor and try them out!

I was born in Georgia (the country), and I've really missed food with a variety of spices and bold flavors. This meal reminded me of how comforting and exciting good food can be. The baba ghanouj had just the right amount of spice. Warm, balanced, and incredibly flavorful. The tabbouleh was so fresh and refreshing that I'm already trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, exactly how I like it: packed with flavor. The hummus was simply divine. The best hummus I've ever had. Paired with the soft, fresh pita, every bite was perfect. The garlic sauce instantly brought me back to my childhood. Some flavors have a way of unlocking memories, and this was one of them. And the tea was the perfect ending. It was exactly how I love my tea: soothing, aromatic, and just the right amount of sweetness. Thank you so much for such an incredible meal. Every dish felt like it was made with care, and every bite had its own story to tell. I'll definitely be visiting the restaurant and store soon. This is exactly my kind of food, and I can't wait to eat again!
