> We shared the lunch kebab meal, it was absolutely amazing. The food is absolutely delicious and the gluten free pitas are delicious. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting town. If you are thinking of stopping by definitely do.

> Fantastic. I had the lamb shank which fell off the bone, and was tender as butter. My wife had chicken kabobs which were very tasty. Sides were delicious. The cauliflower was a hit. Highly recommend.

> Incredible presentation. Amazing flavor. Shak Shuk Kafta for brunch was epic. Way better than a chain restaurant, Jerusalem cafe has been here thirty years. Incredible Staff, wonderful food. On point traditional flavors. So glad we came.

> We found this place a few years back on our first trip to Asheville and fell in love with their food and atmosphere. This is our second trip to Asheville and the food was as delicious as we remembered. Make it a must visit if you love Mediterranean food.

> Stopped in on a pretty busy Sunday afternoon and we were seated almost immediately. I had the lamb gyro and my wife had the fattoush salad with chicken. The lamb gyro was one of the best I'd had, we will be back!

Menu as captured Aug 30, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 127 venues in Asheville, NC and could score 55 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: we haven’t been able to look at this venue’s sourcing yet, so there is nothing to break down. A row of zeroes here would say we checked and found nothing, and we have not checked.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 — NOT YET ANALYZED. We have not been able to look: no findable site or menu, or the site blocks crawlers. This is the absence of a measurement, NOT a finding of 'no sourcing', and must never be presented as one. Score is a floor and carries no information about this venue's quality.
Not yet analyzed. We haven't been able to look — no findable site or menu, or the site blocks crawlers. This is the absence of a measurement, not a finding of "no sourcing". Check back soon.
