Pretty good Middle Eastern food. Nobody in our group was impressed by their meals. I had babba gonous. It was ok. Not hot enough. Flavor was ok. Baklava was tiny...and ok.

The pita was warm and soft, with delicious fluffy hummus and a flavorful fava bean salad The closest thing to being back in the Old City. Makes me want to go back to Maswadi: King of Falafel and Shawarma by the Damascus gate!

Jerusalem Café on Old Shell Road in Mobile, Alabama, offers an experience that is, in many respects, commendable, yet leaves one yearning for the vibrancy that typically defines Middle Eastern cuisine. This establishment, nestled in a city known for its Southern charm, presents itself with an inviting ambiance and a level of professionalism that is immediately apparent upon entering.
The staff at Jerusalem Café deserve high praise for their warm hospitality and attentive service. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with genuine smiles and a sense of welcome that set the tone for what we hoped would be a delightful culinary journey. The professionalism exhibited by the staff, combined with their willingness to ensure our comfort, was truly exemplary.
Equally impressive was the quality of the ingredients. It is clear that the café places a premium on freshness, with each dish boasting components that were vibrant and meticulously prepared. The presentation, too, was a feast for the eyes, with plates arriving at the table artfully arranged, promising an authentic and satisfying experience.
However, it is with a certain reluctance that we must address the food itself. As ardent enthusiasts of Middle Eastern cuisine, having had the pleasure of savoring it in various corners of the world, we approached our meal with eager anticipation. Yet, what we encountered was a surprising lack of the very elements that make this cuisine so beloved: the tang, the savor, the spice.
Middle Eastern food is celebrated for its bold flavors, its intricate blends of herbs and spices, and its ability to awaken the palate with every bite. Unfortunately, the offerings at Jerusalem Café, while visually appealing and made with evident care, fell short in this regard. The dishes, though prepared with fresh ingredients, lacked the zest and richness that one expects from such cuisine. The flavors were muted, almost subdued, leaving us with a sense of something essential missing.
In conclusion, Jerusalem Café excels in many areas, particularly in service, presentation, and the use of quality ingredients. The dining experience here is pleasant, and the atmosphere is inviting. However, for those who, like us, seek the full-bodied flavors that define Middle Eastern cuisine, the café may leave you wanting. It is our hope that with a more generous hand in the spice department, this promising establishment can rise to its full potential, offering not just a meal, but a true taste of the Middle East.
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of open space and good seating to accommodate the little ones.
The food was not warm and was not very flavorful. The service was nice and friendly.

The taste of food is far from Mediterranean/middle eastern cuisine. The food was not cooked, not fresh and the quality was under avarage. I was deceived by the name, but the food had nothing to do with Jaruselam food.
