" Food was just okay. I had the lentil soup and found it to be nothing special. The main course felt under-seasoned, and overall, I wasn’t blown away. Service was polite, but there was a long wait time. I may not rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday here and what a delightful experience it was! Each dish we ordered was seasoned to perfection, particularly the chicken shawarma – succulent and flavorful. I also enjoyed the traditional sides that paired well. The service was attentive, and even the ambiance felt fresh and inviting. You'd think I was dining at a restaurant way more expensive due to the quality! I'm making plans to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This spot is absolutely phenomenal! I ordered the vegetarian platter, and it was a feast! The flavors were rich, and I loved how fresh every item tasted. Service was fast, and I appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant. I’m definitely adding this to my list of favorite places to eat. If you’re in Oak Park, make sure to stop by—you won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This cafe has become my go-to for Mediterranean food! The falafel is consistently amazing, and their tahini sauce is to die for. Very reasonable prices for the quality and quantity you get. I appreciate the simple yet cozy ambiance—it feels like home. Thank you for maintaining such standards throughout the years; it's clear you care about your patrons. " (*Curated Review*)

" I generally love Mediterranean cuisine, so I was excited to try Jerusalem Cafe. Overall, I found the food fresh and flavorsome, but the portion sizes were average at best for the price. The service needed some improvement as well, as we waited a while for our orders to arrive. However, the flavors were genuine, making this place worth considering again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not impressed. The food was bland and lacked authenticity. Service was decent but nothing to write home about. I would suggest trying elsewhere. Too many better options in the area to waste my time here again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Jerusalem Cafe is a solid choice if you're craving Mediterranean. The pricing is fair, and the quantity of food is impressive. My only critique would be the service, which some days can feel a bit rushed. But overall, the food quality makes up for it. You should definitely try the combo platter which has a bit of everything! I will gladly return for lunch. " (*Curated Review*)
