Jerusalem Grill

My wife and I go here all the time!
To be honest, a couple years ago, I stayed away. But then the management changed, and I started hearing good things — that things were improving.
We went once and were pleasantly surprised that the food was actually… good! So for a while we got just sandwiches and burgers because they were greasy and delicious.
But over time, we would try the things we didn’t like as much (like the chinese), and found that slowly but surely, all the things we specifically didn’t like seemed to get weeded out. That includes some less than awesome waitstaff that they had for a short time.
If you go today, expect to find fast service, consistent food, and a warm welcome from the new owner, Benny. And if you find you don’t like something you ate, tell them and then be willing to try it again in a week or two. I can almost guarantee they will have improved it.

I highly recommend getting the falafel at this place, it is one of the tastiest i have ever had.

This may be the dirtiest place I have ever eaten at. And I watched the old man who cooks the Chinese food wipe his nose with a rag and then wipe the counter where they prepare food with the same rag!!! I thought this was a kosher restaurant. Where is the health inspector when you need them?

The menu is very nice, and I had a hard time not ordering more! The best no frills deli in town. Great atmosphere and friendly service.

Hit or miss. But when they get it right the food is delicious!
They have a falafel Monday special not worth it… Definitely not authentic middle eastern tasting. Wish they put more effort into their food. And service is very mediocre.

Great baba! I’ve heard good things about the falafel and the Monday special :) good for lunch and a casual meet up for dinner

Good humus, better techina — Israeli style, and not the salty /​watered down Lebanese kind that you get at Taza or Aladdins.

My wife and I come up from Akron for this wonderful food! It is so worth the trip. On our last visit, yesterday, we had the falafel special. We’ve had it before and it was delicious this time. At 4.99, it is the best deal ever. The service was prompt and courteous. We will make this trip time and time again.

I came in here on a whim last night, figuring that I had passed it so many times but never actually tried it out. My instincts were on point apparently because I was happy to find they have a Monday night falafel special! I picked up one of those and a shawarma, as well as a potato bureka to go. Everything was great! They were super fast, super friendly, and delicious.
In short, this is the closest I’ve found to a slice of home, Israel, in Cleveland and it’s great. I’ll definitely be back.

Great place for fast falafel. Not the BEST but pretty darn good and reasonably priced.

We had a hankering for Chinese and there is no other kosher chinese in the city. Now, normal, non-​kosher chinese is nearly always decent (at least the places I go to) and even the kosher place we get carry-​out from, Tien Le Chow, is pretty tasty. This had to be the most un-​tasty chinese I have ever eaten in my life. I don’t care that the guy who makes the chinese food had his own restaurant for 30 years! It was awful and flavorless, completely missing the orgasmic deliciousness that I associate with excellent chinese food. Perhaps it was missing MSG? Whatever. Next time, I get a shawarma or something like that. And WTF? No ice for the water? I just love drinking a glass of tepid water on a hot day (yes, it was in the cooler but it wasn’t cool)

Service was wonderful. Food was hot and delicious and beautifully presented. My husband had the The NewYorker which he said was GREAT. Corned beef and pastrami was tender and flavorful. Coleslaw was crispy and fresh, and the Russian dressing gave it a tasty zip. I had the Sharwma platter. It was soooooo good. I could not have been more satisfied. The waiter was incredibly nice and gave us a few homemade pita crisps and some pareve choc chips cookies to go which we’re incredible. Best cookies I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend this place.

The hummus and pitas are really really good, that alone gets 5 stars.
I agree to D.M.W.‘s review. We also ordered Shwarma Pita sandwich and it was huge looking yummy, although, it had small portion of meat and majority was salad. Wet and runny. Im sure they can make it better with a little bit of change.
After discovering their hummus and pitas, I can no longer enjoy the ones from Aladdin’s Eatery. I am eating hunmus and pita from Aladdin’s at this moment just because they are close to my house but oh so oweful. I miss Jerusalem Grill’s!
This place carries kosher/​Islaeli food and Chinese food.
There is a Chinese guy/​chef working there so the food can be authentic but I really do not get this combination.
To be honest, they should change their décor and clean the place.
As soon as I walked in, I decided to order it to go.
This place can be a real big success if they know how to improve a little bit of there, little bit of that.
For example, they put plenty of hummus in a white plastic box (which doesn’t really seal well) so it was already runnig out of the box when we got it and went bad within a day. If they’ve use a stronger clear plastic container which does seal, that would have been great.
But again, Jerusalem Grill makes very good pitas. I really recommend you to stop by to pick up their pitas for $ 3.5 per pack.

Got back from Israel a few months ago and had been tired of middle eastern food. Today was my first venture back into it.
I had a Shawarma with Israeli Salad, Tachini and a little humus. While you can’t say it was «just like home» it comes pretty close. If you want a more realistic sandwich ask for it with lighter sauce, they drenched mine (which still tasted delicious but authentic middle eastern food tends to be drier)
The owner told me on Mondays they have a falafel and soda for $ 5 which is a GREAT deal. I spent $ 10 on a single shawarma!
Seriously, stop in here and have a bite to eat.

Take-​out/​eat-​in place that has some of the best Kosher/​Middle Eastern food I’ve ever had. The falafel is so good it makes me want to cry just thinking of it. Do yourself a favor and order the Israeli Meatballs platter.
