Jerusalem Cafe

YUM! I LOVE this place! Their food is soooo good. I would eat here every single day if I could. Their prices are great for the quality and quantity of food you get. I could go on and on about how every single thing on the menu is absolutely delicious. You cant go wrong here, really. While its not really a fancy place, I find myself wanting to eat here for any special occasion; birthdays, holidays, anytime. I wish they would open a northland location!

First off, I love the laid back upper room, which is the hookah bar.  They have wonderful people and before 9:00 you can have food brought up to you, while you are enjoying the hookah bar.

Now on to the food: the food is delish, and I cannot say anything bad about it.  The lentil soup is to die for!  and the gyros are wonderful, especially if you have been hanging out in Westport and need a good hearty meal.  The seasoned rice is very flavorful.  I've had many items on the menu and have yet to be disappointed.

However, one of the best reasons to come to either the hookah bar or to dine-in, you must try the spiced tea!  I can never seem to get enough of it, and if they sold it by the gallon, you can best believe that I would be buying the truck load.  Whenever I go into the hookah bar, most of the servers know that I am going to order the tea, and when I'm with my group of friends we usually have them leave the pitcher at our table; that's how fast the tea goes!  I'm hoping to take my sister here real soon!

Recommended anytime of the day!

Walked in at 7:25 (they close at 7:30pm on Sundays) and they still allowed us to order for carry out!

We ordered 2 gyros (beef/lamb), hummus, gyro salad and baklava.

The gyro came with a side of rice (not the best, large kernels of rice, not much flavor or excitement) and a side of greek salad. My husband and sister-in-law loved the gyros.

The pita that came with the hummus was a bit tough, not sure if it was because it was the last of the day's. Hummus was good, not mind blowing.

Gyro salad was big, I split it into two easily. A greek salad with chucks of feta, katamata olives and light dressing. Lots of sliced gryo meat. Very good. Also came with this lentil soup, little watery, pretty good.

The baklava was tough but tasty. I defintely want to go back next time I'm in Kansas City!
