Jerusalem Mediterranean Restaurant & Catering in Virginia

"4 out of 5 stars because the experience was almost perfect. The appetizers started off strong with hummus, pita, mint lemonade and lentil soup. But my main dish was not very good, tasted a bit bland. The service was steady. The decor was good, it did remind me somewhat of Jerusalem but definitely not entirely."

"I recently hosted a large dinner party for 40 guests at Jerusalem and the experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We chose the buffet option and were able to work closely with the team to customize a menu that suited everyone; from vegetarians and vegans to pescatarians and hearty meat-eaters. Everyone left full and happy! The food was truly out of this world. The lamb and ribs were a huge hit , tender, flavorful, and impossible to resist. Guests went back for seconds (and thirds!). The variety and quality of every dish were exceptional, and the attention to dietary needs was so thoughtful. The space itself is beautiful , warmly decorated, inviting, and perfect for a celebratory evening. The atmosphere felt both elegant and welcoming. The service matched the setting: professional, attentive, and incredibly friendly. The waitstaff made sure everything ran smoothly and we felt well taken care of throughout the night. To top it all off, the desserts were fantastic. The sweet rice was a unique and delicious treat, and the chocolate cake was rich and indulgent , the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about the evening. Thank you to Jerusalem for making our event so special. Highly, highly recommended!"

"We have a delightful Sunday lunch at Jerusalem Mediterranean restaurant. The staff were very friendly and provide us an excellent service. We ordered kapsa chicken and shawarma mix grill and it was very flavorful and good quantity. For Mezza we order kibbeh and several dips with bread. The juice served was fresh natural juice that we enjoy it. It is true authentic food. Totally recommend this place."

"We ate at the Jerusalem restaurant 11 years ago when we lived in the area. We were back in town and this was our first choice of restaurants! They are in a different location and the new location lacks some of the authentic feel the previous location had. However, the food is still excellent. The hummus and pita bread are the best I've had (i lived in the middle east for 3 years too). My wife loved her beef shawarma and rice. I opted for the Kofta sandwich. The Kofta was good, but the sandwich had way too much lettuce and not enough meat. It was served with French fries that were hot and tasty. The service was outstanding"

"We visited Jerusalem with a large group and ordered multiple dishes to share, and overall it was a great experience. Everything we tried was flavorful and well prepared, making it perfect for sharing family-style. The highlights of the meal were definitely the lamb shanks and the mandi — both were excellent. The lamb shanks were tender and rich in flavor, and the mandi was perfectly cooked and aromatic. Every dish came out fresh and satisfying, and there was something for everyone to enjoy."

"I’m so happy we visited today. From the moment we entered we felt very welcomed. The ambiance is beautiful and the customer service was top notch. And the food is deliciously amazing. Thanks to all who made this first time visit great. We’ll definitely be back again and again."

"The all-you-can-eat lunch buffet ($29.99) offered a great way to sample a variety of delicious food, including appetizers, soup, entrees, and dessert, at a very reasonable price. A lovely, relaxed setting with friendly and helpful service."

"My wife and I recently dined at Jerusalem Restaurant in Fairfax County VA, and it was truly a delightful experience. The warm ambiance and welcoming staff set the perfect tone for an enjoyable evening. The menu offered a fantastic array of authentic Middle Eastern dishes that were not only flavorful but also beautifully presented. The freshness of the ingredients and the skillful preparation were evident in every bite. The service was impeccable, and the staff's attentiveness added to the overall positive dining experience. Jerusalem Restaurant is a gem for those seeking delicious Middle Eastern cuisine in a cozy and inviting setting. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience."
