Jerusalem Market on Elm

What an amazing little gem of a restaurant. Food, atmosphere and service were all overwhelmingly good! I had the Jerusalem plate, a terrific selection of appetizers that was just perfect as a meal: a spinach pie whose filling was the exact amount of tart you want from sumac surrounded by crispy-soft pastry, a satisfying pile of hummus surrounded by cucumbers, two perfect falafels and crispy zaatar-dusted pita chips for dipping and textural contrast! I asked for tahini and cucumber yogurt sauce an polished the entire plate. The hibiscus tea was also perfect and refreshing. The cafe had a great free live band the night I was there: super interesting, jazz standards with a pedal steel player thrown into the mix. I can't say enough about how friendly the owner and staff were. I felt right at h

Everything was pretty good. I wish they had traditional pita rather than a thin wrap; my falafel wrap was not the way they made it in Jerusalem which used a fluffy pita. It tasted good and the portions were fairly generous for the price (2 meals w/drinks for about $35). My partner highly enjoyed his chicken shwarma wrap, which they often have as a special on the weekends.

Food was amazing, haven’t had food that touched my soul like this in years, 10/10, definitely coming back, Isa was so welcoming and created such a comfortable environment for me as a guest, and his brother is an amazing cook, definitely an underrated and under appreciated family business, hoping it gets the Love it truly deserves, beautiful work, see you guys soon

I’m new to GSO downtown and I’ve been searching for good middle eastern food. This place is phenomenal on a whole new level. You can tell how much pride this family has in their father, their restaurant, and their food. The food was so fresh and delicious. The price was very reasonable as well. They got a new regular today hands down.

Such a gem downtown! Love all of the vegan options! Food is a little pricey but you can tell how much care went into it. Owner and staff really seem to care about customers and their experience. The outside patio is lovely on a nice day.
