"Jerusalem Chicken, a sliver of a takeout chicken shop in South LA’s View Park-Windsor Hills neighborhood, stands as a powerful reminder that food doesn’t have to be eaten in courses, or even inside a restaurant, to be resonant. The shop deals in Palestinian comfort food that hits home for Angelenos from all walks of life: Siti’s Original (now called the Original J-Chicken Plate), a half-chicken stuffed with savory rice, mushrooms, and beef and served with sides like pickled turnips, fried cauliflower, or salata (tomato and cucumber salad), is one of the most soul-warming dishes in Los Angeles. Beyond the chicken plates, the shop also sells falafel pitas; filling bowls with chicken, falafel, or steak; and homey sides like ful, a fava bean stew. Order delivery or pick-up through DoorDash." - Rebecca Roland
