Reviews for Jerusalem Mediterranean Restaurant & Catering in Falls Church, VA

I make time to eat at Jerusalem even though I have moved out of the area and it?s a bit of a drive for me now. The food is that... good! We have also had them cater several occasions for us. They do a great job and have lots of vegetarian options, which isimportant to me. Love them! Read more

This was an initial visit to the restaurant. It is located on a busy street. I anticipated parking would be a problem here. It... was not a problem. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant. The decor reflected the theme of the restaurant. I was notsure what to expect. My assumption was that it may be like a Greek restaurant. There were some similarities but stilldifferent. On this occasion, I ordered Lentil Soup. It was served very hot and it was delicious. I also ordered a ChickenShawarma sandwich. I have not been a real adventurous eater but this sounded good. Our server, Sana, explained what it was andwhat was in it. That was what I ordered and I did not regret it. The sandwich was wrapped in pita bread with lettuce, onion,tomato, tumeric and a garlic sauce. It was different and it was delicious. My thanks to Sana for her explanation and accuratedescription of the sandwich. I also had a sauvignon blanc wine from Lebanon. My first taste of Lebanese wine was a treat. Itwas light, refreshing, with a citrus flavor. There was no bitter taste. The wine and the sandwich were an excellentexperience. My dining companion ordered salmon fillet with couscous. It was tasty and cooked exactly as ordered. He alsofinished the couscous with gusto so it was apparently very good. The pita bread was outstanding. It was fresh, good flavor, andcooked to perfection. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. She explained several questions we had about the menu andenjoyed a brief conversation with her after the conclusion of our meal as she wanted to ensure we were satisfied with ourchoices. We appreciated the attention and attention to detail and she made the experience even more enjoyable. We were too fullto order dessert but the options on display at the front of the restaurant looked delicious and well worth trying for those whostill have the ability to eat more after a delicious meal.

Paid almost $50 and this is what I got: two spoons of harira soup and two spoons of what they call ?lentil soup? that doesn?t... even look like soup-and they both taste below average. Paid $9 for the salad which is ridiculous given the quality and portion.Also the chicken kabob came with boiled potatoes and carrots; no seasoning or flavor whatsoever - for about $18! Oh and twoquarters of pita bread. This was a to go order. Will never order to go again. Overpriced, small portions (if you take out themountain of rice), and low quality! Read more

SUBSTANDARD AT BEST!! The lamb chops were $26, and probably had a total of 4 ounces of meat for the three of them combined,... being mostly fat and bone after being very small to begin with. My husband's plate had 12 pieces of potato on it, and every oneof them had rot spots - see attached photos. And lastly, the wine was listed the menu as a 2018 vintage, and they tried tostick us with a 2020 vintage. Gave them one star because there is no way to give a negative star rating. I assure you, I willnever grace this place with my presence again. Read more

The food is very delicious, like nothing else. The decorations of the restaurant is amazing, I loved it, loved the Arabic... characters and the poems everywhere. People is very friendly, helpful and nice. We went couple of times and definitely will goagain. All the meat is Hala also ?? Read more

One of the best middle eastern restaurant in NVA area,this restaurant is located right off RT 7,next to a CVS .The ambience is... very upscale and you feel as if you are transported back to Jerusalem ,the lamb Mandi and the muskan chicken are excellent alongwith the baba ghanoush and you can finish the meal with some authentic middle eastern desserts like baklava.

Love this place! It was the first time but we will come back differently. the food, atmosphere, and staff was amazing!!! Tried... the hummus trio and mixed grill, all was tasty and fresh. Also, there is baklava and sweet. The price was reasonable Read more

Great taste with very good portions. Kofta Tahini is done differently but still has good taste. Some of the staff are very... cheerful and some of them are rude to the extent of adding extra tips on the final receipt without customer permission!!! Read more
