👍 Staff was really friendly. We enjoyed the food. Great place to eat. Atmosphere is really nice and clean. Only problem for us was the prices because they were higher than what they show in their online menu.

    This was a remarkably poor experience. Ordered 2 char grilled mix plates, only one was cooked and served. No effort made to see if we actually wanted two, given that we were two people. No drinks menu. Mixed plate came without a few items promised on the menu. Some of the items were quite nice - lamb kofta, hummus, saffron rice. Others, like the beef, were too chewy to eat. Ordered pita but it came long after we were done our meal, arrived cold, and was very clearly from Tesco or another store. Overall very poor experience. Won't be returning. (Edit post restaurant reply) Unfortunately the restaurant owner or someone replied to say that it was all everyone else's fault and took no blame for themselves. Based on other reviews, this seems par for the course for them. It was the waitress's fault. It was the beef supply company. It was a miscommunication. They tried to elicit guilt by saying "this waitress is no longer working her after your review." Unfortunately it points to an immaturity on the part of the business owner who seemingly is unable to take any responsibility themselves. Alternatively, it's someone who shows poor leadership by firing someone new and inexperienced when it could have been an education opportunity, or who didn't take the time to give their staff proper training. If they truly did let a staff member go after one poor evening, then thank goodness lots of restaurants are hiring as this seems like a terrible place to work. Pretty sad.

    The way they charge you is simply crazy! I ordered a seafood mezze (€14.5) but they charged the price of a seafood platter (€24) so it's almost €10 more. The kofta yogurt (21.95) was literally a small bowl of yogurt with FOUR tiny lamb balls. Lemonade is overpriced (€4.95) and tastes really poor. Jerusalem coffee (€4) was a disappointment. They even charged tap water (€2.5) served in a glass jar and put on the bill as 'mineral water'. Also we ordered 2 Arabic coffee (€4 each) but they brought 2 cups with only one small coffee pot. Unbelievable. Never coming back again. Need to emphasize the fact that there were very few tables when we came and when they brought the bill we were the only table so they can't excuse that the restaurant was busy. It's a pity that we only realised the ridiculousness of the bill later as we were with friends and did not want to make a fuss. Nevertheless, we feel this restaurant is overpriced and the way the owner replies to negative comments is very rude.

    Great experience! The food was UNREAL and the staff was amazing! The hosts were hospitable and the service we received was perfect. This is genuinely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Dublin. I will definitely be back again and more than once!

    service right from when we entered was super, really friendly! The lunch menu is a little bit smaller than the full evening menu but there is still plenty to choose from! The lunch we had was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be visiting again!

    Service and staff is the only good thing here. Food taste, quality, variety and quantity does not justify the high prices you pay. Ordered a mixed grill platter.. was disappointed with taste, simply mayo and lettuce as salad was served with 3 sticks of kebabs and a plate full of chips to show a platter... If I wanted fries I would order fries not a meat platter. We also order Mansaf Lamb it was simply boiled meat with sour buttermilk. Parking is on the streets nearby which is paid parking. Toilets are OK. Ambience is decent.

    Have visited two days ago and will definitely be visiting again to try other foods. The food was delicious, the manager was so welcoming and staff were nice too. Even the design and decoration of the restaurant has reminded me of my home country which was cool. I'd highly recommend Jerusalem Restaurant. Thanks for the great service and wish you all the best!

    We visited here on a Saturday evening, when the restaurant was reasonably busy but by no means full. We ordered two mains, a side of pita, and a bottle of house wine. The meals arrived in 2-3 minutes, which doesn't really align with the menu's promise that all food is cooked to order, and in any case the portions were small and borderline tasteless. Funnily enough, the pita bread was the most disappointing aspect since it was recognizably out of a supermarket packet (I want to say...Tesco) and still cold. No harm no foul so far, we thought, just a disappointing meal, but then the bill arrived and we found we'd been overcharged for every single item on the menu *and* there was an additional service charge which neither of us recalled seeing mentioned on the menu (caveat: it's possible we missed this, but the price mismatch was confirmed). The manager on the night addressed the discrepancy and took both the service charge and difference in prices off the bill, blaming Brexit for both their price increases and inability to produce new menus, but to be honest, it's tough to buy this excuse. There's a good chance we weren't alone in being overcharged on the evening, or on other evenings before and since, and I saw no effort to redress the issue on the evening with simple measures like temporary paper menus with correct prices or, you know, pricing things according to the menu. There are many other Middle Eastern restaurants on Camden Street, let alone in Dublin, and I wager any of them would be more deserving of your business than this lot. Go elsewhere.

    I’m only giving it 2 ⭐️’s as the staff are very friendly & polite. But service was extremely slow. We gave up on our tap water request. The cocktails they didn’t even know the ingredients so you can imagine how they turned out……. Only took 20mins to get them. Unfortunately the food is utter ….. this photo is of the sauce slopped all over our seafood platter. So we didn’t need any more of it! A platter it was not. It was a piece of fish, some prawns & calamari in said sauce. It served a purpose but I wouldn’t ever come back.

    Loved the menu, really nice to experience a different style of cuisine. Service very nice. All food freshly cooked, gorgeous flavours with fresh herbs and spices. Excellent value for Dublin.

  • 1/5 Lam V. 2 years ago on Google
    I probably won't come back, food price was very expensive. 21 euros for a mix platter. When it came out, it was three sewers, one lamb, one chicken and one mince. The bill came out to us wrong with 6 * 9.95 for drinks and 21 for mix platter and 2 euros for a pitta bread we never ordered and not eaten. Total bill was approximately 80 euros. We asked the waiter to correct this, she did. She removed the 2 euros and added a 10% service charge instead, asked her what this was and the answer was it is a normal charge for all bill. The strange part was it was not apart of the last bill, but what ever, we just paid for it, can't be asked to argue. You can have my 10 euros and tip. Good luck, we won't be back. Highly not recommended.

    Very good experience in this lovely restaurant. 🤩🤩🤩 NOTE TO MYSELF: IT'S A BRING YOUR OWN WINE RESTAURANT!! 😉

  • 3/5 Erik 2 years ago on Google
    The food was very good and the only reason for three stars unfortunatly. The poor waiter had to move us to another table because friends of the owner came to celebrate a birthday. So from the point the owners guest's came, we got ignored the whole time and had to wait ages for everything. It was so sad because it started very well and the food was very good but unfortunatly we didn't had a good experience

    Ate here recently as I was in the area for a gig in Whelans music venue nearby. We only had time for a quick platter and it was excellent I lived in Israel for a number of years and have visited there for 25 years. In doing so, I have eaten in many restaurants there. Jerusalem restaurant is as authentic as you can find in Ireland. The food and service were first class. Nationality does not matter to me, only quality food.

    After frantically looking for a place to eat on Christmas day, this was the only shop open. They serve really tasty food. I enjoyed the hummus, baba ghanoush and lamb kofta tremendously. The brownies were amazing too. Do try the coffee with whipped cream. It's quite nice

  • 1/5 Colm D. 2 years ago on Google
    Poor experience overall. Food flavourless and overpriced. Prices on bill were higher than those shown in menu and 10% service charge was included which is non-standard for a two-person table in Dublin. Waitress reacted rudely when I queried these anomalies. Restaurant manager corrected the bill and was apologetic, however these issues seem to be a common theme based on other reviews.

  • 1/5 Jaydeep K. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely pathetic experience. We had ordered for starters and clearly stated to the waiter that we would be ordering main course after that.After receiving starters no 1paid any attention to our table for close to an hour. The person waiting our table was seen smoking and having a good time with other customers outside the restaurant. When we enquired, we got to know the kitchen was closed and we can no longer be served food. When the waiter was asked about why he didn't inform us he said " You have a mouth, you could ask me". That is a ridiculously arrogant behavior.

    Just been there. Our table was given to three men that hadn't booked. Gosh chums I expect! We were left frozen at the back door. Apitiser really late. Two female waiting staff were lovely. The waiter, with his chums, who is more interested in chatting to his friends at the back door was really ignorant. really disappointed. Show some respect.
