The food was so flavorful! Went with a group of 8 people. It was authentic and the service was incredible. Good for large group dinners and no wait. Make sure to sit at the heated back patio for a cozy experience.

Old Jerusalem is one of my favorite places in the city. The food is excellent as is the service. The back patio area is wonderful and really adds to the experience.

I loved their mousakhan ($22.99), which is oven roasted chicken with rice, sweet onions, roasted sumac, and pine nuts over flatbread. The sweet onions were delicious!! Each bite had so much flavor. The chicken was really tender. We also tried their stuffed falafels. They told us the price was for 2, but the ended up only giving us 1. Inside, it was stuffed with onions and pine nuts! Super unique and delicious! Also tried their mint tea which was a nice touch. The service was fast and friendly, but I can see how there could be some miscommunication through English in terms of food/ordering/prices.

Hidden gem cozy middle eastern food! I got the beef shish taouk with half rice and half hummus. I gobbled it up so fast, felt like I went instantly into food coma. The beef was juicy and especially yummy paired with the side of grilled onions and bell peppers. Also nice that it came with complimentary pita bread, pickles and olives. The ambiance felt mom and pop shop, but there was also a cool patio in the back for seating. Staff were also nice! Would come again!

The food is delicious. The owner is very nice and it feels like at home. We sat in the patio and it was heated !

The service here was fast, and the servers were so nice. It felt family-owned, and I appreciated the home-y feel. I ordered the chicken shawarma, and it came out piping hot in the best way possible. The portions were huge, and the chicken was flavorful and soft. The olive oil on the hummus also stole the show due to its deep rich flavor. I also ordered the Turkish coffee but personally didn't love how it tasted more herbal than like coffee.

Finally was able to get into Old Jerusalem on a random Wednesday night. Food 9/10 - I ordered the lamb skewer plate with half rice and half hummus. I took off a point because the lamb was a bit dry. It came with roasted onion and bell peppers and pita bread. The pita bread was hot, fresh, and airy. So good! Service 10/10 - they serve complimentary green olives, radishes, and banadurah harrah. The staff made sure our water glasses were never empty! Ambiance 9/10 - it has a quaint little interior with 10 or so tables, murals and artwork on the wall. One thing I would change or recommend is dimming the lights for dinner, because I'm just not a fan of overhead lighting. Overall I really liked this place and would come again!

Got a nice vegetarian plate and it came with a big variety! Got this bc I saw it in was one of the top dishes on Yelp. I enjoyed it! Included falafel, dolma, baba ghanoush, salad, eggplant, and more. Also included pita bread with your order! This restaurant also has nice decoration that make it look like you're in old Jerusalem. Would love to come back to try more dishes!

My friends and I came on a Monday night around 7pm and there were plenty of available tables, which was great for us as they do not take reservations unless there's a party of 5 or more. The prices here are amazing for SF standards!! I got a chicken shawarma plate for about $23 but the portion was enough to feed me for two full meals. Everything tasted great - especially the hummus. The staff were also very nice and always came by our party to check up on us. The only thing I didn't prefer about this restaurant is its location - it's on an incredibly dark street! Walking here from the bus stop was a little scary :(
