“Delicious vegan options!😋“

“What a wonderful dining experience at Old Jerusalem Restaurant! Everything was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous and satisfying. The food was incredibly flavorful and tasted fresh and authentic.

The overall experience was great, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into the food. I left very happy and completely satisfied. I would definitely recommend Old Jerusalem to anyone looking for delicious Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food in San Francisco. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Amazing experience. Really excellent menu with good explanations. Nabulsi cheese was so good and falafel was the best I’ve had in a very long time. Everything felt balanced and extremely flavorful. If you’ve still got room, would recommend the kanafeh because that was awesome.“

“When I first walked into this establishment, I didn’t know my taste buds would get a glimpse of heaven. My food was perfectly cooked and seasoned— from the wrap, to the falafel and hummus. Not only is everything delicious, but it was all so fresh I genuinely tasted the freshness. Additionally, staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the establishment itself is so nice. Thank you for such an authentic and delicious meal. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“WOW the food is delicious. I never liked lamb before, but the lamb was to die for, it was so juicy and tender and flavorful - I added it on top of hummus and ate it with their warm pita bread. Also that was the best falafel I've ever had in my life, hands down -crispy and flavorful and NOT DRY. The pickles were amazing too. 10/10 will return.“

“Loved it so much and loved it so much and loved it over and over“

“Everything was deliciously good!“

“Five stars for support, but food-wise I’d probably give it more like a 3.5–4. I really wanted to love this spot and support Palestinian food, but it felt more catered to the neighborhood than like the authentic Palestinian comfort food I was hoping for. The flavors seemed toned down and didn’t really remind me of the Middle Eastern food I grew up with or normally look for. Also no halal meat options.

The halloumi was probably my favorite thing, especially with the da2a on top. We also got the hummus, grilled hanger steak, and chicken skewers. Unfortunately, the chicken was thigh meat and was really chewy, and both the chicken and steak could’ve used a lot more marinating and flavor.

I also wish there had been a little more Palestinian representation throughout the space, especially since that’s such a big part of the restaurant’s identity. For the portions and overall experience, I thought the prices were pretty high too.

The place itself was absolutely packed and super noisy when we went, with a very busy, trendy tech crowd. I can see why a lot of people love it, especially if they’re newer to these flavors, but if you’re used to really flavorful, authentic Middle Eastern food, it might not hit the same. I’m glad I tried it and happy to support, but personally I probably wouldn’t go back.“

“We travelled from Maryland to experience San Francisco, found this local restaurant within walking distance of our hotel, and decided to give it a try. It was well worth it! The staff was accommodating, attentive and very friendly. The food was exceptional! If you haven’t tried Mediterranean cuisine or love it, this is the place for you!“

“I hope the business owner reads this. Your employee is costing you money. And your order yourself screen outside isn’t helping your business. We’re trying to order a falafel sandwich not a 5 course meal. Keep it simple and your employee should be able to take a simple order at the window with specific instructions.“

“Definitely San Francisco Bay areas. Best burgers, amazing fish and chips very favorable, savory kebabs and great tasting Gyros.“

“Everything looks just amazing. Truly Mediterranean came highly recommended!“

“We both had lambs ( the Mrs had the kebab with salad and soup and I had the lamb & beef platter). My plate was made special by the dressing , but my wife’s was the better deal as the smokey flavored meat was out of the ballpark sarap!“

“The best Falafel in the Bay area! I like the traditional falafel. You can't go wrong!“

“The food is amazing you should try their flafle. It’s amazing and staff super nice fellas“

“Consistently delicious for decades“

“First time! Will definitely be back!!“

“Good food!!!! Close to my house 🏠“

“Family owned neighborhood store. Very nice for buying herbs, spices, teas, fruits, nuts, fresh produce, and glass jars with sauces and vegetables. Very friendly cashier always says hi and is ready to provide help when needed. Has a small kitchen that sells pizzas and delicious Mediterranean dishes.“
