Taste of Jerusalem

Natalie B, your review betrays a profound lack of culinary exposure. Dismissing a complex blend of traditional spices as an "old attic" scent sounds less like a critique of the restaurant and more like an admission that you've rarely stepped outside the comfort zone of mainstream fast food McDonald’s. For those with a more developed palate, the aroma of these spices is a massive part of the appeal. This restaurant is a culinary gem, and many of us gladly drive an hour just to enjoy authentic flavor diversity a welcome reprieve from the bland chicken with salt and pepper with broccoli at the Jones’s house, alternatives so common to this area.

A MUST TRY!!!! This is the first place, in a long time, which still gives you bread and a dipping sauce upon arrival. Now I know this might not be a big deal to some people, but I really miss this kind of service. Used to be common place, so it’s great to see a small business still doing it. Anyways, the food is fabulous… everything from the hummus to Kebab’s was delicious. Plus the portion sizes were generous and we had leftovers. Simply a great little restaurant… will surely be back :)

Absolutely amazing food! Cannot even begin to describe just how tender and juicy the chicken and steak kabobs were. This is easily one of the best restaurants in Pensacola!

I wish I opened the box in the store, but we were in a hurry. Came home hoping to feed a family of 6, and they told me that there will be 6 skewers of lamb with 4-5 pieces on each skewer. Opened the box, and found only 6 pieces of meat, and the amount of fries was the "cherry on top" Taste of lamb kebab was good. Also ordered beef shawarma, expected to have lettuce and tomatoes like it was on the picture, but it was rice, beef and garlic sauce. For garlic sauce I would give 5 stars. The beef shawarma tasted horrible. All 6 of us tried it and gave 1 star for the taste. Too much curry or what ever seasoning they used. Also it looked like it was just fried on the pan, not on the Skewer, how they described it in their menu. There were no people in their dining area, and I kinda guessed why, the smell or the scent in the building was like Arabic spices with old attic furniture. I could bearly hold my breath while waiting for our order.

Tried for the first time today. So freaking good. People were super nice and helpful. My toddler who is a picky eater loved the chicken shwarma. This place is so good that I’m taking my husband back for dinner. 10/10.
