"Hikers returning from Table Mountain or other points on the Washington side of the Gorge should pop by the small-but-mighty stretch of restaurants along Southeast Chkalov. Jerusalem Cafe has been serving east Vancouver family recipes of Southwest Asian and Northern African food for more than 20 years, from simple hummus-filled pita and stuffed grape leaves to richly seasoned lamb and chicken platters. The dining room is simple but warm. Takeout is available, but the strip mall housing Jerusalem Cafe does not allow outdoor dining." - Nathan Williams

Had a Lamb and Chicken special take out with Baklava. Really disappointed about meat quantity and quality, portions were tiny and chewy (over cooked). $30 for these two items felt rip off.

The Nan bread and humus was incredible. The garlic fries are better than anything I've ever had before. The gyro was also very tasty. I'm normally a guy who eats lots of fast food. So this was incredible to me. No wonder why my uber eats customers love it so much. Also the service is incredible. Very pleased atmosphere as well. I will definitely be back soon and I'm very much looking forward to it.

Solid spot. The food was on point and service was fast and communicated well. Don't let the place fool you, they take a lot of care with their food and customers. There is a lot of heart and pride that goes into this place and itt's all old school.. I ordered the Lamb Shish Kebab and the little lady ordered the Greek salad with Gyro. Meats were super delish and salads tasted fresh. If you don't like something tell them, they believe in connecting with customers and making that place great.

This is the second time I have come here. The food is between good and really good. I am saying that because it in any way bad. But because I like Mediterranean food to be heavier on the seasoning, and this was seasoned more for the American pallet, which I am not. So, that said, the place is a sitdown fast food style, except that the food is super healthy and delicious. I gave the service only 4 stars because the waitresses did not smile, and even though she was very kind and polite, she was dry and looked scared. The Arabic music was very pleasant, Oasis, Scheheresadee 1001 night, Aladdin and Jasmin type, and the price was right too. Love the place and strongly recommend it to travelers from and to Portland Airport. It's only 10 or 13 min from there, and it's a great substitute for ground hoofs on two buns accompanied by soggy fries. I am a person who loves food and I eat a lot, so I order two. Even that only cost me just over $20. Good eats for the right price in a pleasant environment. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

We enjoyed the hummus, samosas and garlic chicken. The portions were generous and the server pleasant and attentive. The rice was a little dry and I would have liked it with more salt. My husband and I split the dinner and we both had food leftover.

Wow! Today my husband and I ate here for the first time 😋 😋😋😋😋 We were so impressed with the quality and flavors of the entrees! The pita bread, hummus, baba ghanoush, salad plate... chicken, rice and the mint tea, coupled with the very friendly service, pleasant atmosphere, and reasonable prices provided us with a great dining experience! We even bought extra hummus and pita to go!💯💯🙌🙌 Definitely on my repeat list!

(UberEats) Food & Drinks - 3.0 (food) Presentation- 3.0 Atmosphere- N/A Customer service - N/A Value - 2.0 They forgot our pita bread, and one full salad—a friend was kind enough to share his full salad with me b/c you definitely need the salad. I ordered their 'lamb & chicken special' and it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. Rice was dry—most likely old, and the mixed pieces of lamb and chicken didn’t have that lemon-garlic flavor my palate was looking for. Without the salad…I probably would’ve rated the food a bit lower. My friend swears the food is good here—he just doesn’t know what went wrong that night. I’d give this place another chance, and dine-in. Change my mind on my delivery experience.

Super disappointed as well. Not at all impressed and I am sad about it. Tried twice and both times disappointed and they have so much potential. The dishes/entree are just not impressive for the cost, and basically very low key and nothing to write home about. Kabobs are just... meh. Small-ish, and rice lacking any flavors except mildly yellow, and comes with a few bites of greens and 1 spoonful of cheese served in a small plastic cup. After two earnest tries despite they are friendly and have great intentions... it's just not worth the time and money. It's really sad. I really want this restaurant to thrive... but it will be quite unlikely.
