Old Jerusalem is a Chicago Classic and I have been here many times over the years. I recently went with my son and I was happy to see the same family appears to own the establishment. The food and service were excellent. We had the appetizer sampler and two schwarma sandwiches. 5-Starts on the food and the service was excellent. One of the last remaining classics on Wells St. We will be back!
Me and my son stopped here for supper on Saturday to this restaurant. I ordered the version of Greek gyro. Little different tasting than the common gyro. Filled with meat, lettuce and tomatoes. Had a good flavor. The service was poor. Had to wait for water which the server never came back. 2 sandwiches came to $25. Service was poor
This was a nice spot! Mediterranean food had a lil too much tang for my liking, I got the vegetarian platter and the meat platter, the vegetarian platter everything had tang I need something to off set the tang everything was too similar in taste, the meat platter was impressive, meat was very fresh and deliciously flavored! When I combined the veggie platter with the meat platter I found my balance. Service was great even though we came in the final hour we didn’t feel rushed or neglected!
