Authentic Palestinian chicken dishes, creamy hummus, and fresh pita
"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
"Jerusalem Chicken checks all the boxes of a reliable fast-casual spot and then some. This Palestinian restaurant serves a range of pita sandwiches, falafel plates, and chicken dishes in a tiny View Park-Windsor Hills strip mall. The portions are huge, which means you can basically split every dish on the menu. Plus, other than a couple of party-sized items, nothing costs more than $20. There’s no dine-in seating, but the food here tends to travel well, so it’s a good choice for a quick meal on your lunch break or takeout for a park hang." - sylvio martins, brant cox

"Specializing in Palestinian-style chicken, Jerusalem Chicken’s menu is unique to Los Angeles. The lemon and garlic chicken over rice is wonderfully saucy and flavorful along with its outstanding hummus with house-made pita bread that’s served hot." - Mona Holmes
"It’s impossible to place the wrong order at Jerusalem Chicken. Everything at the Palestinian chicken shop is homemade and multiple types of flavorful roasted chicken are available to order. Though the lemon garlic chicken remains a favorite, the hummus served with piping hot pita bread is a must, along with taking home an extra serving." - Mona Holmes
