The Thousands

Sitting on plastic benches, drinking from children’s tumblers and acquiring the most potent garlic breath… I’ve had some of the greatest moments of my life at the Jerusalem Sheshkebab House.
 
Jerusalem’s only waiter is a wizened old gent, who saddles up to every table, loudly – oh, so very loudly – demanding his diners HAVE A GOOD TIME. To be honest, it’s hard not to. As the owner will tell you (while sitting next to the girl you’ve brought there, talking you up like she’d be crazy to ever leave your side) Jerusalem has the most authentic falafel in Adelaide.

For all the joy of middle-eastern music and the coloured kites that hang from the ceiling, Jerusalem is all about the food. There’s a remarkable hummus, delectable lentil dishes and a-freakin’-mazing baclava. The place works brilliantly for vegetarians and carnivores alike and remains the most entertaining, tastiest and least pretentious restaurant in town. Just don’t forget the BYO.
