"Thnn n. Me me a.a.A Me L"

- benjamin l.

"The price on the menu links are incorrect! All the meal combo (vegen or not) are $12.99, while all sandwitches are $8.5. Order Beef Shawarma Combo with Fatoush salad and Falafel Combo with Tabouli sald. The food is OK, but there are defintely other better places in greater lansing ares with similar menu. Not sure why everyone else rated it so high. Maybe we ordered the wrong food which happened not to be they are known for. (But shawarma is the first thing on the menu though.) The store is kind of interesting; has lots of shelved items that you don't notmally see. Maybe stop by in the future to buy some of the cheese in the fridge, frozen dessert and Tahini sauce."

"This is by far one of the best spots in Lansing for Middle Eastern Food! The food and prices are amazing! The owners are so nice and very accommodating!!! Bonus they also sell pantry staples !"

"You rock! Honestly, I bumped into this place in a search for a non-snobby lunch joint. My first choice was too snobby for my taste so I decided to get a quick eat somewhere else and I'm glad I did. Because I discovered this gem. Yes I know, I ordered okra soup, it's so simple. But this is where you judge talent; it doesn't matter how complicated or fancy your menu is, it matters the quality you put out, big or small. A trick to judge a sushi chef is to have them prepare tamago sushi for you. Plus, I like okra soup, and any version of it has a special place in my heart. The flavor was incredible. The okras were so soft, they melted as if they were butter; I'd never seen any okra cooked like these before. If this dish is one of those already-made dishes, one can only imagine what they can actually do with their menus. I'll come back for that."

"Jerusalem Bakery is such a wonderful lunch spot. Excellent food, super nice people, and a great selection of middle eastern groceries. We stopped in from out of town and we're super pleased with our chicken shawarmas and samosas. Reminded me of being back in Dearborn. Will be back"

- David D.

"I have meant to review previously. The garlic hummus is my favorite! The fresh pita incredible. The hashwi, amazing. Construction does not interfere much at all. They have signs to follow now."
