What Are People Talking About
Posted by MMurphy on 09/04/2009
After reading so many good reviews, my daughter finally talked me into going to Jerusalem. What can I say about this place, except for the food was awful and the place was very very dirty. It looked liked this place has not been cleaned since it was first opened. We also had the unfortuniate experience of eating inside. It was about 80 degress outside but it had to be atleast 100 degress inside. Along with the heat there were flies everywhere, you probably would have experienced less flies sitting next to the outside trash can. If you decide to eat at Jerusalem, remember you have been warned.

Oh baby!
Posted by MissChevious on 08/30/2009
oh sweet jesus, the lamb here is TO DIE FOR. So its a little small and can get crowded. I like it. Adds to the experience. I know the family that owns the place and I do my best to support the local mom & pops in denver.
Its worth your time and money for sure. tru the Kulage dessert and the hummos & cucumber salad are good too. Vegitarians: this is your spot.. hitt it up cuz the falafel is amazing too.

What happend to J-roo
Posted by bond009 on 01/09/2009
Former DU kid here and I used to love this place. Yes its a sore to the eye if you sit down and dine but the food always came out great. Having moved back to Denver I started going in again and don't know if the management changed but it just ain't the same.
The food is still good if you know what to get. The kebabs are usually dry-stick to gyros. Let the waiter/waitress know ahead that you want the food warm and the pita warm. Gyros is the best in town and the I can eat the rice by itself. Baba ghanough has a nice smoky flavor. Their arabic coffee hits the spot.
Service is so-so, depends what mood the staff is in-excpet for that one gorgeous gal behind the counter who used to work there-petite thing with beautiful dark eyes who always got my order right and did so with a smile. Hell I would dine in and get my butt frozen if she still worked there. lol

Jeruselums Restraunt Denver
Posted by HealthInspector on 03/25/2008
Warning!!! This was the worst eating experience ever. If your going to place an order make sure you've blocked off some significant waiting time. Also, don't expect the food to be warm :) Basically it is just bad! Spend your money elsewhere.
Also, I called once for to go food (everything else was closed) I should have learned my lesson because the food was not ready when I went to pick it up and I had to reorder (apparently they lost the order) and it STILL was given to me cold. There are other Great middle eastern style restraunts in town I would highly recommend any of them over this place. Good Luck!

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING -DONT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING HERE
Posted by babeesaint on 03/18/2008
SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE - VERY PUSHY
FOOD CAME OUT RELATIVELY QUICKLY BECAUSE IT WAS PROBABLY JUST SITTING IN THE KITCHEN... SURE TASTED THAT WAY =(
PARKING WAS NO PROBLEM BUT OF COURSE WE WENT ON A TUESDAY NIGHT DURING SPRING BREAK
FOOD QUALITY WAS HORRIBLE - I WOULD HAVE MUCH RATHER EATEN DIRT
OVERALL, WORSE MIDDLE EASTERN FOOD EVERY EATEN AND I HAVE GONE TO MANY MIDDLE EASTERN RESTAURANTS (30+)
BOTTOM LINE- DONT WASTE YOUR TIME - GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO EAT...

Most overrated restaraunt in Denver!
Posted by azurecielo52479 on 10/03/2007
Every year I see reviews rating this as "The Best Late Night Eats" and "The Best Middle Eastern Food" and want to scream!!! Yes it is nice to have an option other than Taco Bell for the post bar closing time, but this is not "THE BEST" at anything unless you like abuse (both to your stomach and your ego). The food while passable, is hardly good: the pita is usually stale no matter what time of day, the hummus nasty and the food is either overcooked or tepid, and the orders are rarely correct. Then we get to the sevice, on a good day it is cold and on a bad it is downright abusive: I have seen the servers yelled at by co-workers to the point that they cried and I have had people in my party refused service because they are Jewish and seen others turned away because they are black. In other words, if it is 2:30 am and you are white living in DU you will at least get served (but what you will be served is anyone's guess), otherwise head over to Colorado Blvd for better Middle Eastern Food, or up to Golden to Ali Baba's for the best. THUMBS DOWN EVERY YEAR!!!

The food is average; however the experience is somewhat overrated.
Posted by wildblue on 12/27/2006
I decided to stop by the Jerusalem Restaurant today on my way home from work for a take out order. The food as always was average but the service is less then desirable. It seems as if there are always new servers who could care less about the customers sitting in the restaurant. Sometimes I get the impression that they are bothered by the patrons sitting in their establishment. I understand that Jerusalem offers a discount meal to the students of DU but they really need to improve on the customer service. If you?re looking for a quick late night meal then Jerusalem is the place for you, otherwise take your business somewhere else. The bottom line is these people have made a lot of money over the years and they could care less if anyone ever eats there again. Anyone who rates this restaurant higher than average has unfortunately never experienced real Middle Eastern cuisine or hospitality.

affordable, fast, love the chicken gyros
Posted by prettyhot on 12/07/2006
I love this restaurant because its within my budget and they are the only restaurant I've been to that makes a chicken gyros like they do. I'm not into their hommos, but love their baba ghanouj and falafel. Its a great place and the food is consistent.

Great after hours food
Posted by brockthecarpenter on 10/29/2006
If you have been to the middle east before this is the resteraunt for you! The food is pretty darn close the the resteraunts you would find in the Red Light district of Amsterdam, or the party town of Eindhoven, Holland. After spending hours in the coffeshops or the bars and clubs of Holland there are many resterants like as this one in Denver. It has a wide aray of differnt quizines from Isreael, Egypt, Turkey, and Greece. Although people have complained about the cleanliness of this place, it is pretty darn clean compared with resteraunts of the same kind in the countries that I mensioned above. I highly recommend they gyros plate, and the baklava. Watch out for drunken DU Hockey players, and Denver Broncos late at night they like to start fights out side of the resteraunt.
