Heart Of Jerusalem Cafe

4 Stars: The staff was totally on top of everything especially given that they were getting slammed when we came in for dinner.The food was delicious, excellent serving portions, and decently priced.We really liked that there was no TV to distract the kids from eating (but having a coloring or sticker thing would 've been helpful).1 Star: The establishment was too cramped. It felt like we were sitting with the people next to us, our kiddos were right in everyone 's spaces, and I worried about elbows chairs getting clipped from passers by.The pillows for style creating a Middle Eastern feel were a nice touch, but maybe not for where people eat.. they kept falling on the floor fingers that were messy had to be used to keep retrieving them.The table was also very wobbly and our waters kept spilling whenever we moved.There was a very strong chemical/cleaning solution smell that was overpowering eliminated the smells of yummy food being prepared.It would be helpful if there was a way the staff member ringing up the bill checked in with the guests to see if any applicable discounts need to be applied before charging/taking the cash.We had a bill/check where it needed to be separated into 3 different charges/tabs.Each person needed to stand in line to pay (also clogging up the space).The bill should 've been separated into 3 separate bills vs one collective bill that each person made their payment to.Because it wasn 't separated, after the 1st person paid their bill, I was no longer able to receive my discount for my bill. This meant that I didn 't have the money from that discount to use towards the tip like I was planning on doing (or save, if someone else had agreed to cover the tip). OVERALL : The food is worth the visit (as was the kindly on top of it service) but I 'd totally recommend getting food to go and/or going during times where it 's not likely to be busy.Parking: Parking is a little tricky, but doable. If arriving in separate vehicles, it 's not likely that everyone will be able to park in the same area during a busy time (as is the case with many establishments).The handicap parking is up on a hill.. not recommended for those with difficulty maintaining balance. There 's also not much room to maneuver a wheelchair from the vehicle and up over to where the door is located.. especially without the vehicle sticking out into the follow of traffic in the parking lot.Kid friendliness: There 's no kid activity so bring one, ESPECIALLY during a busy time.Also would recommend just moving any pillows away from wherever you 're sitting. Once those little hands are washed ready for food.. one def doesn 't want the kiddos touching stuff that many other hands have touched.

A little cramped. I wish it was in a bigger space but the food, oh the food! So fabulous! Great service! The Manakesh is my new favorite!

Some of the best middle eastern food I've come across in the springs would recommend

One of my favorite places. Casual Mediterranean food.

It was à good gastronomic experience, I will return to try the different dishes they have in the menu but the Gyros are the best in City
