★★★★☆ 4.0 Marcus Barton · Mar 2026

Tried the chicken shawarma plate at and it was fantastic. The plate comes with your choice of couscous or basmati rice along with a fresh Israeli salad made with cucumber, tomato, onion, and herbs. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the visit, which made the experience even better. The shawarma itself was packed with flavor, and everything on the plate was delicious. My only minor note was that the food came out a little on the cool side, but honestly it didn’t take away from how good everything tasted. Pro tip: ask for half couscous and half rice so you get the best of both worlds. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.

We have been a few times now, still tasting things on the menu. First, organic and non gmo. Thank you so much for that. We stopped in this weekend for the stuffed cabbage rolls, delicious and the redfish dinner. I have also had the knafta for dessert and don't know where this has been all my life. The pitas are fresh, hummus is great, morrocan carrots are spicy, best falafel I have had. Two standard sauces on the table. Always a God bless you on the receipt. God bless you all.

Excellent! We went out of our way on a trip to find this place and 10/10 would recommend. Hubby and I had the shawarma plate and split a side falafel. It was delicious. Fresh. And if you are gluten free you can eat almost anything on the menu including falafel! Tried a local kombucha they have and it was yummy too!

A favorite of ours for Israeli and other Near Eastern cuisine since we first tried it after moving to the area! Charming dining area with something if an open kitchen, and a few tables outside under the awning as well. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, including bring takeout orders straight to your car at the curb as default. Ordered a shakshuka plate with couscous and Moroccan carrots. Flavors were good, not overseasoned but not bland, either. "Medium" spicy for the shakshuka was still fairly spicy, but not uncomfortably so. Egg yolks were on the runnier side. Carrots were a good level of done-ness, cooked through but not mush. Their pitas are thick and fluffy, always a highlight of the order. Be warned, the shakshuka is soupy, and can easily get messy just from carrying the co

★★★★★ 5.0 Greg Jacobik · Feb 2026

Wow! Eli’s Jerusalem Grill is delicious! Walking in the vibe is like a bustling eatery in Israel! The decor and music is authentic and simple! Eli is the Owner with his wife Laurel! This is a local family owned business which impressed me so much! I am retired Air Force 27 years and have been all over the world and “Love” authentic cultural entrees! I miss traveling so I come here! I will leave the meal I ordeeed which is Lamb and Chicken and daily fresh pitas! Actually everything was daily fresh! I hope I am making your mouth water for a cozy place to bring someone for as romantic lunch or dinner with a great vibe and low key sound for conversation! The service was FANTASTIC! Laurel and Sarah weee hustling for Customer Service, attention to bring your entree to your table.
