Jerusalem Restaurant - Denver

Good food! Reasonably priced. Glad this place is here, super close to DU

Few vegan options, what is there is pretty good for a late night bite after a few drinks. Updated from previous review on 2021-04-30

I love this place! Their food is awesome! The menu has lots of options and they are clearly marked vegan and vegetarian. Seated is somewhat limited for as popular as it is, but that’s understandable. It might be a good idea to get takeout during peak times if you’re in a rush.

Our family loves Jerusalem Restaurant. We just wish we lived closer, so we could go more often. It's our Christmas Eve tradition to go there. The food is so fresh and delicious. I always order the the Vegetarian Platter. I mix all the ingredients (except the falafel, grape leaves, and French fries, of course) into a pita, and top it off with the wonderful cucumber salad (cucumber/yogurt dressing). I call it a party in my mouth, with so many incredible flavors that blend perfectly. My husband orders the Beef and Lamb Gyros, and my son the Combination Super Dish.

This place is awesome! The food is delicious, affordable, and very fresh. Plus the portions are generous and the service is wonderful. My boyfriend and I both ordered a combination plate, which allows you try a bit of everything. I was able to replace my rice with extra salad since I’m on a low-carb diet. Everything was delicious, including the grape leaves (which is something I don’t typically love). We were both so full we had to take some home. The desserts were also awesome (not pictured because we ate them too fast, but they’re displayed in the front — and they have a big variety). I had the kullage and loveeeddd it! It’s a syrupy filo dough pastry with a bit of custard inside. The service was also on point. An older gentleman who I assume is the manager greeted us (and other customers), and gave us recommendations. Our waiter was very attentive. This place has been around since 1978 and it’s easy to see why. We even heard two different customers say they had been eating here for 20 to 30 years! I can’t wait to return.
