Clean and fantastic food for a very reasonable price. The Shawirma Sandwich (their version of a gyro) with slow roasted lamb and beef can be had with a pita or in a wrap. I had the wrap it was SO good. Looking forward to having it again. The meat wasn’t the standard pre packaged Gyro meat I was expecting. It’s made fresh here and was delicious and perfectly seasoned. My wife and I had the same thing and agreed it’s the best we’ve had.
This place is excellent. Falafel is delicious, hummus has a nice zing to it, and everything else is on point. Owners are lovely people. And on top of all that the prices are very reasonable.
Had lunch at Old Jerusalem this week and spent around $25 for two dishes and drinks. I grabbed the lamb shawarma plate—tender, nicely spiced—and my friend got the hummus + fresh pita. Chill indoor‑outdoor vibe, staff were laid‑back and friendly as you'd expect in the neighborhood, but our falafel was a bit under‑crispy. All in all solid spot for a casual Middle Eastern bite without breaking the bank.
