“Maybe we were there on a tough day”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

We had a taste for middle eastern food so we pleased to find the Jerusalem Garden Cafe. Unfortunately, it was a so-so experience. The waitresses were pleasant but seemed to be harried and rushed - restaurant was busy but didn't seem terribly so. We weren't that hungry so ordered 5 appetizers\salads. We thought 2 out of 5 were good -... More

“Don't be fooled by bad reviews”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2012

I am going to address some of the bad reviews for you as I feel they are extremely misleading. #1, this restaurant has a 100/100 score from food inspectors. I was shocked as I had never seen a perfect score in ANY restaurant I have been to in the USA. It is posted on the glass in front for everyone... More

After reading all the great reviews,my husband and I stopped in for an early dinner. We couldn't decide on which appetizers to choose and so we ordered ALL of them and we were so glad we did! They were all equally delicious! My husband also ordered the grilled chicken kabobs and he said they were very good. All in all... More
