Great Restaurant. Amazing service! Great food! I pretty much recommend it to everyone. Arabic/Mediterranean food is available there! Enjoy a great service!
We stopped in here because the place we wanted to try was too busy. We're glad we did. Very friendly waiter. We had the hummus for an appetizer. This was our first time here so he brought us a bean soup to try. It was very good and filling. We had the gyros. We will be back.
Amazing fresh food. Seems to be family owned, but it's the best Mediterranean food and best gyros in Kansas City. Very casual, not super elegant, but great tastes.
Good place to have good Mediterranean food. I love their Pitas and their hummus is also worth mentioning. Definitely give it a try and you won't be disappointed at all.
Best Gyros in KC. The beef/lamb gyro is AMAZING!! Sauce, lettuce, onion, meat, pita...every detail is perfect. So happy I can hit their food truck at night in Westport. Incredibly filling for just $4 (off the truck). Don't miss it if you are out in Westport one night and have the munchies.
Authentic. One of the best gyros I've had since coming to the US.
Great falafel and hummus pita! With pita, salad, beverage, tax and tip cost was about $12. Service was not friendly but the food was great.
Food so good, we cried a little. We go to Jerusalem Cafe at least twice a month. The first time I had taken my husband to enjoy their wondrous food, he bit into a falafel, his eyes welled up and he said, "this is, just.. oh my gosh!"
The staff is always so kindly, and helpful, and I do love the decor inside.
The food is wonderful.. my favorite being the stuffed grape leaves, and the baklavah. But EVERYTHING I've tried their is so delicious especially that yellow rice! The location is lovely!
I would recommend this place to everyone!
Delicious! My husband and I absolutely loved this restaurant! We shared there dinner for two, and everything we tried was amazing! Their baklava was to die for!
Jerusalem Cafe is very good! It's an interesting place to get good food and enjoy a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Te service I had was great! They weren't pushy but always made sure our drinks were full. I've been several times and will be going back!
We've been going to jcafe since our teens. LOVE the hummus, other metropolitan areas have their most popular med't spots- let's just say they can't compare. Glad to see that the. 39thst location closed- it gave the westport spot a bad rep. Best hummus EVER!!!! The house dressing can't be beat. And on demand chili sauce- this is by far one of our family favorites. *****
Yes please. A great place for meat eaters and vegetarians!! I am obsessed with the falaffal sandwiches! I even like to mix up what I get on them and you can never go wrong. I like to switch it up every once in a while and I am never dissapointed. The lintel soup is by far one of my favorites! Baklava fan? STOP HERE!!!
Yum!. A must stop place each time I make my way through Kansas City. I always leave feeling satisfied and there are price ranges, if you are careful, for nearly everyone. I love the falafel sandwich! Hard to pick anything else; although, I have sampled many other dishes and have loved each one!
One of my favorites in Kansas City. I've been coming here for years. Jerusalem Café has in my opinion the best hummus anywhere.
GET THE GYRO. BEST GYRO IN TOWN!!!!!
Jerusalem Cafe in Westport. One of my favorite places in KC to eat. Love the chicken kabob sandwich - wrapped in fresh pita with cucumber yogurt sauce... and the humus is yummy!
Good but.... The Jerusalem Bakery is better bang for your buck. Still, cant go wrong with hummus.
Upscale good Middle eatern food where I took my wife for our first date. This place in Westport has a special spot in my heart as it is the first place I took my wife for our first date 15 years ago. The menu offerings are not all that extensive but what is have is very good. I especially like the flaky pastry encasead ground lamb dish which is very good. The ambience is very good since this first time I took her here and we came other times. The service is good. I wish they would change the menu little more and offer new things once in awhile but I guess they keep going with what works and that is fine. It is nice to come down and just stroll around after the meal too.
This place in Westport has a special spot in my heart as it the first place I took my wife for our first date 15 years ago. So there was something about the place when I "scoped it " for our date. The menu offerings are not all that extensive but what is
Restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere. Service was quick and friendly. Falafel was good, dipping sauce was a little runny. I enjoyed the lentil soup more than I thought I would. Beef kabob sandwich had good flavor. I’d rather have hummus as a side than Cajun seasoned fries. My girlfriend had the dill chicken sandwich and said she liked the flavor. Price was alright for the food. Would eat here again and suggest to others.
I could say a lot. But memories. That hummus(beef/lamb). 😍. Most of all. One of the most honest smiles I’ve seen from a staff with a heart of gold. My waitress just seemed like she couldn’t be nice enough to me. That is getting really darn remarkable lately in this world. Please tip them well and support this business.
I've been here several times and I love the food! I am vegetarian, and one of the things I like is the wide variety of options here. I came in tonight with my parents. Awni was our server, and he gave us excellent service. He was very friendly, attentive, and gave good recommendations. My dad had the shrimp kebab and absolutely devoured it. I usually get the falafel sandwich. This time, I tried the vegetarian pastry plate. It was a LOT of food. Everything tasted great! I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a chill spot to eat delicious Mediterranean food. It's also affordable.
I had great service and a fast lunch here. The waiter confirmed the lentil soup was vegan friendly. I'm a falafel junkie and enjoyed my sandwich.
Honestly I was surprised at how much I liked the French fries - they were perfection!
The location is really nice and has an up-scale feel. There was a fair amount of nearby parking available.
I will definitely be back again soon - either for dine-in or carryout!
A friend of mine suggested I try this place while I was in Kansas City. The hummus and pita were amazing! The veggie gyro and chicken Philly gyro were delicious. They have really good fries. The Greek dressing on the salads is super good.
I got the dolma and baklava to take back home. The dolma just wasn't up to par and got thrown out, the baklava was perfection, I should have ordered extra!

This is the first restaurant that we have tried since arriving in Kansas City. The restaurant was clean and artful. Our server was great.
For starters we had lentil soup, za'ter, taboula salad, falafel ,hummus and stuffed grape leaves dolama I believe . I didn't like the za'ter maybe I will try it with meat next time. I've never cared for falafel but this falafel was the best I've ever tasted in the history of falafel. It was a beautiful sight and the interior was so rich and delicious.
The lentil soup was perfect and the dolama was good too.
The hummus ...oooh that hummus was the second best hummus I've ever tasted. The best was found the next day at a restaurant in Chicago but I digress. This hummus was so creamy flavorful and spicy. We couldn't get enough of it.
I was already a bit full when the main course arrived. We had a bit of everything: gyro meat, kabob, lamb, chicken with rice. The gyro meat was seasoned to perfection. The kabob and chicken had no taste whatsoever and the lamb was a bit tough. The ball was definitely dropped there. It was disappointing considering how great everything else tasted.
For dessert we had a beautiful red kunafa. It was thinner than what I've previously had but it was just as tasty. I just wish it had a bit more of that oily substance. I love kunafa. For our drinks we had mango lemonade and strawberry lemonade. The colors were bright and both flavors were perfect. Great place to eat and hopefully the meat will be better the next time.
I am not familiar with Middle Eastern food, so I can only comment on my experience and taste. I ordered the Jerusalem Feast for Two. We started with the Hummus (5) very tasty, filling, and satisfying, the falafel balls were excellent (5). Next, we shared the Lentil soup which I found very tasty as well (4). The Lamb and Chicken Kabobs on top of seasoned rice was very good (4). Last we had the Baklava for desert (3) and tried the Turkish Coffee (3). All together, it was a nice experience to eat something totally different. The waiters are very friendly and helpful with explaining the different dishes . Would I go back? Yes, there were other dishes I have yet to try, especially the Falafel and Gyro dishes.
Yesterday I had the blessing of being able to eat at this phenomenal restaurant that has been in Kansas City for quite some time now. I still remember fondly going to the original location at 431 Westport; but this updated location at 515 Westport Road, is truly worth it..
I had the Grilled Kabob Sandwich (you can choose from many different meats, such as: chicken, lamb, beef kifta or beef sirloin. I chose lamb) which was excellent and fresh.
Also comes with either soup or salad, I chose the soup. Which was a rustic lentil soup blended with spices, almost had a kick to it. And you can choose from either fries or rice with the sandwich..
After eating at the Jerusalem Cafe for many years now, I can’t express how much you’ll love this place..
I've spent 13 years traveling across the country full-time and finally established roots here in KC. Mediterranean food is our favorite to seek out everywhere we go. With that being said, this place has set a new standard of quality and service. I can easily abd honestly say this is the best Mediterranean food I've had with some of the kindest service I've had. The only negative thing to say is how horrible full I am right now.
In KCMO for a night and it’s always a struggle to find gluten free and vegan options in new places. The kind folks at my hotel recommended this place and it did not disappoint. Super friendly staff, great attitude even though I walked in about 15 min before close. The food was exquisite! I got the falafel + hummus plate and sub’d out pita for veggies, lentil soup + salad. Yum! Highly recommend.
I was dining alone and the staff was very kind and hospitable. I felt welcomed and appreciated. The food was phenomenal. I had an appetizer platter, and they kindly made a substitution. I adore the babaghanoush, and everything was delicious. The restaurant is comfortable and attractive. You really can't go wrong choosing Jerusalem Cafe.
Been here late at night after drinks and at lunch while working. Wonderful food, service - music, atmosphere unique. Very affordable.
This place has been great for years. An absolute Kansas City staple. It's definitely changed over the years, it's in an entirely different location than it started out in! Food has always been great, and as of late they seemed to have developed quite the irreverent and jovial attitude! They have a t-shirt for sale that proudly proclaims the wearer to be a "hummus-sexual" I don't know, makes me giggle a little.
I love Mediterranean foods! It makes me feel good, healthy, happy! Like medicine, but it's delicious:D

It was tough deciding whether to give this place 4 or 5 stars. Ultimately I give 4 because there are some things that need improvement.
I brought my niece here as a graduation gift. This is where she chose to eat. We came as a party of four.
Upon entering we realized it was way too cold inside, so asked to be seated outside. She sat us outside in the sun, which was a bit intense, and there was a table in the shade, but since we had already asked to be moved, we didn’t want to make any more fuss. So we sat in the sun. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful.
We ordered a blueberry lemonade, mango lemonade and two frozen mint lemonade’s. My blueberry lemonade was too sweet so I didn’t finish it. The mint lemonade was amazing!
We ordered a falafel and hummus plate as an appetizer. The hummus was very plain. They had a kind of relish on one end and a hot sauce on the other end, but even so, it was a very bland hummus. The falafel was very good! Crisp and fresh. The tahini dipping sauce was ok.
I ordered the gyro platter. It came with a deliciously seasoned and unique rice. It also came with a spinach spanakopita, roasted vegetables, fresh tomatoes, tzatziki sauce, and some feta cheese and Kalamata olives. The carrots were not cooked long enough but the rest of the vegetables were good. The meat was very good! I don’t order gyro very often, but this was seasoned perfectly!
My daughter and niece both ordered the dill chicken pita sandwich with Cajun fries. They were not Cajun seasoned fries. They were just regular fries. The sandwiches were delicious. They both could only eat half of their food and took home the rest for later.
My husband ordered the shrimp plate because he wasn’t very hungry. It came with 5 grilled shrimp. He said it was very good.
The restroom was actually really nice. I took a picture because it was really cute.
The total bill was $120 with tip. I might return here, but I would skip the hummus.
Wear long pants and long sleeves if dining inside!
The food is Very Fresh and delicious. Highly recommend getting some Dolma and any of the sandwiches. Service is definitely better at this location than in Liberty. But the food at both is outstanding. Highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner.
If I could have rated this a 10, I would have. We ordered and asked if we could customize somethings so we could try more, and our server was happy to do so. They even gave me extra pita bread to take home with my leftovers. It was top notch. Fairly quick but we didn't feel rushed. And the flavors of everything we ate were wonderful! Have to recommend the lentil soup and the falafel as it was the best and my favorites (very hard to pick!) If I am ever back in KC I know I'll be making a stop here.
