Jerusalem Greek & Lebanese Cafe

Great hidden gem as you pass fast food, Cajun, and BBQ restaurants. The falafel is great

We really enjoyed the food. They use good ingredients and traditional techniques.
The desserts are very good. The hot tea is wonderful

Tonight I ordered stuffed grape leaves, hummus, falafel, lamb kabobs and Ashta for dessert.  I had originally heard great things about this place and was anxious to try it.  Stuffed grape leaves were alright; neither good or bad.  Hummus was about the same, average and less acidic than a lot of store bought varieties.  The rice served with the kabob was plain white rice.  It would have been much better had they used some royal basmati.  The bread served with the meal was basic pita style bread.  Fresh made bread baked in a tandoori would have been much nicer all around.  I was most disappointed with the lamb.  I've had lamb many times in my life, in many parts of the country and cuisines. This lamb ranked at the bottom of my list.  It just didn't seem fresh to me.  For 14.99 I got only 1 kabob, a cup of cooked rice, a little hummus and salad.  2 kabobs would have been appropriate for the price.  I could get more of a better product in Houston for 60% of the price.  Falafel, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this stuff was previously frozen.  The sauce served with it was watered down and not adequately seasoned.   The Dessert would have been great but by the time I got to it, it was cold.  It was my first time trying it so I don't have anything to compare it too.  Even cold I kinda liked it.  Sad to say I will not be going back.  Better rice, fresh and "real" bread,  fresh meat and non-frozen falafel.
