Customer Reviews

The food was fantastic and the atmosphere really nice. Clean dining room, plates, cutlery and cute cups for tea. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Service needed some polish but I visited on opening night so I'm sure they'll iron it out soon enough. Worth a visit!

Old Jerusalem Restaurant in Austin is a fantastic find that offers an authentic Palestinian dining experience. The beef kebab was excellent--perfectly grilled, juicy, and full of great flavor. One of the best parts about this spot is the value; you get plenty of food for the price paid, with generous portions that are very filling and often enough for a second meal. The service was fast and efficient, with a friendly staff that makes you feel welcome immediately. The restaurant is very nice, featuring a clean, contemporary, and cozy atmosphere with a beautiful outdoor patio that is perfect for a casual dinner. Whether you are looking for fresh pita or a hearty mixed grill, this place delivers high-quality food in a lovely setting

This Mediterranian restaurant recently opened in our neighborhood and we wanted to give it a try. We ordered the Chicken Swarma, Baba Ghanoush, Tabbouleh, Lentil soup, & mint Lemonade. All of the items tasted great! That said, the Baba Ghanoush is not what we have experienced at other eateries. It tasted fine, but we're used to the creamy dip version. Their bread was outstanding! Note: Their bread is softer than the standard issue pita bread we get at other restaurants. I recommend Old Jerusalem for your next Mediterranean food fix. Happy Motoring.
