We’ve been eating here for 20+ years and never miss it when we are in town. Fatouch, falafel, shawarma, lamb/beef kebab, baklava, hummus — we get a ton of food, only empty containers end up in the trash. Also the friendliest staff, such a great spot.

Open since 1978 for a reason! Incredible food, at any amazing value, with top-notch service. Open late! I don't live in Denver, but when I visit, I will ALWAYS eat at Jerusalem. A true gem of Denver restaurants.

This place is a must stop in my opinion! I love this place for a quick bite or enjoy a sit down meal. Plus small promoting small businesses is always a plus! I'm hooked for sure 😊 thanks for always being a great place to eat
