★★★★★ 5.0 Dipa & Brandon Berkley-Vigil-Patel · Nov 2025

We recently did a vegetarian catering order from Ami Jerusalem Café, and it was absolutely incredible! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish had generous portions — perfect for our group of about 25 people — and everyone loved it, including the kids! The sauces were especially memorable. The hot sauce and garlic sauce were both crowd favorites. The pita was perfectly fluffy and fresh, and you could really taste the care that went into the cooking. The owners were wonderful to work with. They were so kind, responsive, and helpful in answering all my questions and helping me plan the order. I highly recommend Ami Jerusalem Café for anyone looking for authentic, delicious Mediterranean food and a truly great catering experience. We definitely plan to cater fro

Delicious Israeli street food! Been a few times and has not disappointed. Freshly made and served quickly. Great hummus, perfectly accents the various kebabs. Lots of prepared foods and desserts packaged to go. Ample indoor and outdoor seating.

Small hole in the wall but amazing food! Ami the owner was there when we went and he went above and beyond. Had the humus falafel bow and the rice chicken shawarma both were delicious will definitely come back!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael M · Sep 2025

What an amazing place. Not only the food is delicious and fresh, the outdoor venue is fantastic. Live music was a great touch to help us spend our time outside. Small venue, but huge flavors and character!!! Will definitely return.

★★★★★ 5.0 Denise · Mar 2025

Heard so much about Ami I had to take the drive! Very small establishment but oh so mighty! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! The chicken schnitzel hummus bowl and lamb rice bowl were definitely my favorites! Arayas were packed with so much flavor. Only wish I lived closer to this restaurant but definitely can’t wait to be back.
