So, I recently swung by The Taste of Jerusalem in Plainfield, Illinois, for a quick bite, and here's the scoop! I opted for their chicken shawarma for lunch, and overall, it was a pretty satisfying experience. The dish came with a hearty serving of spicy chicken, orange rice, bread, salad, and sauce. Now, let's break it down. First off, the chicken shawarma itself was on point. Tender, flavorful, and with just the right amount of kick, it hit the spot. The orange rice complemented the dish well, adding a nice citrusy twist to the meal. The bread was fresh and fluffy, perfect for soaking up all those delicious juices. However, there was one aspect that left me slightly disappointed: the sauce. Now, don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad per se, but it was just... mayonnaise. I mean, come on, in a world of tantalizing tahini and zesty garlic sauces, plain old mayo felt a bit underwhelming. I've been to other shawarma joints where the sauce game was strong, so this was a bit of a letdown. That being said, despite the sauce situation, the overall flavors were decent, and I left feeling satisfied. The ambiance at The Taste of Jerusalem is casual and laid-back, perfect for a quick lunch stop or a casual dinner with friends. So, if you're in the area and craving some Middle Eastern flavors, The Taste of Jerusalem is worth a visit. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Very good flavorful chicken shawarma and beef kabobs on a bed of the spicy rice and a fresh pita. Friendly staff. The wide open dining area has a few pictures on the wall. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

If you have not been to this restaurant, you're missing out. They have been here for 20 years they said. Still looks fairly new and in very good shape. We had chicken shawarma which comes with a bowl of salad and also white or spicy rice and pita. I would recommend getting half and half of white and spicy rice. Both are good and worth trying. We also had six pieces of falafel - reasonably priced at $5 - and if you're eating there, chances are they'll give you even more than six pieces. We got eight. Large, clean eating space. An extra emphasis on clean. They were cleaning when we came in and cleaning again 30 minutes later when we were there. The seating space even has a couple of spaces with sofas. Nice comfy touch. Middle Eastern music playing on the speakers. Just the right volume, not too loud and not too soft. Good vibes. Nice eating area right outside the restaurant also available if you prefer. In their cooler, they have something called 'Freez' drink with various flavors like lemon and mint, pomegranate, strawberry, peach and mango. We got lemon and mint. Good stuff. Paired nicely with the shawarma. Staffed with young guys working there and all seem like they're part of the same family. Definitely worth trying. You will not be disappointed.

This places is amazing. Should have took a picture before eating but I was hungry and it was so good. The spicy rice has some heat 🔥 so if it's your thing. You have been warned but the garlic chicken kabobs are outstanding. 6 stars. Stop in. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Between the ambient music, the warmth of the decor, the friendliness and patience of the staff, the unwavering cleanliness, and of course the incredible quality of the food, there’s no wonder about why this is one of my favorite restaurants to visit in the area. Everything is made to order and well worth the few extra minutes it takes to get. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
