I ordered via uber eats. We split the beef/lamb shawarma with carrots and red cabbage, plus the lentil soup and the white cabbage (bread included). All were wonderful. I’m usually hungry when visiting the area due to some dietary restrictions, but this will be my go-to when I visit the area from now on!
SINCERELY RECOMMEND this authentic Israeli restaurant. Extremely delicious, fresh, flavorful and amazing dishes. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount of food for each dish. I’ve had Israeli dishes back in California and Eli’s is the only closest to homemade. I absolutely enjoy this restaurant.
Real authentic Israeli food. Fresh and delicious. Very friendly staff and owner . Highly recommend 👍👍👍
I have been a fan since my brother took me there as a kid. The schug sauce is out of this world. I go frequently for food, but I must get a pound of that spicy green sunshine at least once a month. The plates are top notch but the Schug is out of this world. It’s truly one of the best sauces I’ve ever had and it compliments everything so nicely. It’s always nice to cut up with the owner and ask him how was this week’s spice level in the recent batch. This place is a craving and a refreshment. Seriously go try it!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 an actual 5 star experience! I have been vegan for 11 years all in the state of Alabama. Most restaurants could care less about my vegan belly and any available options seem like an afterthought. But not at Eli's!! First off, as we walked in the door others were coming out with the biggest smiles on their faces (direct effect of happy tummies 😋) and when they saw us looking the menu on the window outside they knew we were first timers and began loading us with what we should get and how much we were gonna love the place. OKAY!! Then we get inside and we're greeted by 2 of the sweetest kids working there (old enough to work there, but hey I'm easily 3 times their age). Atmosphere on point, period. Now for this food! I'm not new to Mediterranean food. It's easily my top 3 favorite cuisines. But the food at this place was incredible. I'm not over reacting, just try it. The freshness and flavors taste like no other Mediterranean restaurant we've gone to. If you've heard about this place, believe the hype. And to think all this is because of a vegan plate for me and my pescatarian Hubby that enjoyed the salmon dinner very much. We have no doubt that every item on this menu is just as amazing. You're welcome 😁.
On a recent road trip to the Birmingham area we found this gem. We love to try new foods and atmospheres. Our experience was the best of all. Savory new tastes, delightful serve. Moving to the area and we'll be back. !
One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Birmingham. My go to place with my friends and family. I love vegan plate here. Taste so good .
Wow! Eli’s Jerusalem Grill is delicious! Walking in the vibe is like a bustling eatery in Israel! The decor and music is authentic and simple! Eli is the Owner with his wife Laurel! This is a local family owned business which impressed me so much! I am retired Air Force 27 years and have been all over the world and “Love” authentic cultural entrees! I miss traveling so I come here! I will leave the meal I ordeeed which is Lamb and Chicken and daily fresh pitas! Actually everything was daily fresh! I hope I am making your mouth water for a cozy place to bring someone for as romantic lunch or dinner with a great vibe and low key sound for conversation! The service was FANTASTIC! Laurel and Sarah weee hustling for Customer Service, attention to bring your entree to your table. When you enter take a right and order at the counter then sit. They do have wine and beer. Them was impressed me also was the cleaning was! This team plus the cooks gave me an amazing non-rush lunch experience! It’s on Hwy 280 Hoover behind Wendy’s! Give it a try with no ruah and Quaint with a 5-Star experience! Thank you Eli and Laurel! I will be here regularly! Salute!
Excellent! We went out of our way on a trip to find this place and 10/10 would recommend. Hubby and I had the shawarma plate and split a side falafel. It was delicious. Fresh. And if you are gluten free you can eat almost anything on the menu including falafel! Tried a local kombucha they have and it was yummy too!
We have been a few times now, still tasting things on the menu. First, organic and non gmo. Thank you so much for that. We stopped in this weekend for the stuffed cabbage rolls, delicious and the redfish dinner. I have also had the knafta for dessert and don't know where this has been all my life. The pitas are fresh, hummus is great, morrocan carrots are spicy, best falafel I have had. Two standard sauces on the table. Always a God bless you on the receipt. God bless you all.
