Jerusalem Mediterranean Cuisine — Restaurant in Edmond

(Update: 2/22/2017)

They've stepped up their game significantly. Excellent food and service. The food here is beyond exceptional. Truly exquisite Mediterranean cuisine. Quite possibly the best I've ever had.

However, if you're looking to grab something quick for a lunch break, I'd have to tell you to go somewhere else.

I've been in three times, because I really do love the food, and I'm not in a hurry, but it seems as though there is a general...lackadaisical attitude towards efficiently getting customers in and out.

Allow me to explain.

When there's a line of people at the door waiting to be seated, you have to at least acknowledge that they're there. Either tell them to have a seat wherever, or that you'll be with them shortly. A sizable group of people waited in excess of 5 minutes without so much as a nod. Personally, had that been my first impression, I would have gone elsewhere.

Next, when there's a line of people waiting to pay for their meals, you can't be texting on your phone. I've seen that a couple of times, and it's wasting everyone's time and fairly inconsiderate.

In short, the truly wonderful people that work here just need to pay more attention to what's going on or maybe hire another server. It's not about rushing people in and out, but more about not keeping them waiting when they're trying to A.) Get in or B.) Pay for their meal and open up a table for the next person.

I decided to share this because these really are fairly simple things to correct, but it makes all the difference to some people, and lackluster service, even from friendly people, will tarnish a great place's reputation.

And I'd really like for this great restaurant to succeed. Hopefully after my next visit I can change this to a five...

If you haven’t been to Jerusalem Mediterranean Cuisine, are you even living your best foodie life? 😆 This place is our absolute go-to in Edmond, and for good reason! Every time we walk in, the smell of fresh pita, sizzling kebabs, and warm spices hits like a hug from the Mediterranean itself. 🇬🇷🇱🇧

🌟 The Vibes: Cozy, welcoming, and smells like heaven. The kind of place where you know the food is made with love. The owners are always friendly, and it feels like visiting family (if your family could whip up the best shawarma in town). 💙

🍽 The Food: Absolute 🔥. The hummus? Creamy, smooth, and so good I could eat it by the spoonful. 🥄 The gyro? Juicy, flavorful, and wrapped in the softest pita. And let’s talk about the falafel—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and packed with flavor. If you’re sleeping on their kabobs, wake up! The chicken and lamb are both next-level. 🍢🔥

If I could give zero stars I would. The service was absolutely horrible. I called 30 min in advance so that I could just take it and go. It was an order for just one person nothing crazy. I got there and they seemed like they had no idea I even had an order to go and finally found my name. She told me it would be right out and as I’m standing there the cooks are just laughing and finally the waitress goes to ask if they have my order and they both looked confused and say “no” the main lady starts telling them about how they missed the order and focused more on talking bad about them to other customers and her coworker rather than speaking to me about the issue. They both seemed to avoid me while I had to wait yet another 10-15 min for the food to be prepped and all they offered was “a little drink for my wait” I wanted to ask for my refund but it seemed they didn’t care at all to help me out and it didn’t seem as though the manager was in. Just kinda ridiculous to wait near an hour for food and not even really be acknowledged for it. I should’ve asked for a refund and walked out but everything was already so stand-offish and horrible customer service but they were extremely nice to other patrons coming in or already seated. Definitely my...
