Jerusalem Chicken

The food here is delicious. The portions are large. The staff was patient.I ordered a lemon garlic half chicken, which comes with Jerusalem Rice and a loaf of a pita(!) For my sides, I got a 1/2 spicy 1/2 regular hummus, the green of the day (collards), and then splurged on the cauliflower salad, because it looked so good, and I'd love to find a way to make cauliflower more interesting, myself.Dark meat was juicy, skin had a very interesting texture and appearance. Flavor was good. Breastmeat was cardboard, but I expected as much. The woman serving poured the chicken juices over the rice, which reminded me of comfort food in the South.Sides were solid! I liked the greens and cauliflower. The spicy hummus was interesting. Very pinento-y. Genuinely spicy. The regular was a solid offering for the style (like the bread), but I think I prefer other styles better.Wish it were closer and a little cheaper, but I'm stuffed and I still have more than half the food to finish!

Original chicken plate 4/5 - flavorful but the sides didn't taste fresh.Chicken fries - toppings 2/5Fries- over cooked

The chicken is amazing and the service is excellent. If you feel like your tastebuds have been deserving of an excursion to flavorland come here. If you feel like your stomach deserves some of the finest cooked cooked in LA to digest in it, come here. I heard this chicken is so good, vegans come here in disguise just to get a taste.Do yourself a favor. Come get a plate.

We tried this place for the first time recently. The food was reasonably good and the portions were generous. We had the Lemon & Garlic chicken platter with fried cauliflower and tabouli and the Onions & Potatoes Chicken platter with hummus, spicy hummus and potato salad. Both chicken dishes had decent flavor and the dark meat was still juicy, but the breast meat was on the dry side. The chicken was served on a bed of rice, which went well with the pan juices that they spooned over the chicken. The spicy hummus was also pretty good. The fried cauliflower and tabouli were ok. Service was very friendly and helpful. This is one of those places that serves a reliable meal at a very good value.

What I Ordered:-Lemon and Garlic Chicken with Rice, Spicy Hummus and Regular Hummus 1/2 of each, potato salad and a pita $19.99-Cauliflower Fritters $7.99I was watching random videos on Youtube and came across a video of someone going to Jerusalem Chicken and I was intrigued. The Cauliflower Fritter and Chicken plates looked insanely delicious. I knew that I wanted Siri's Original which is the chicken stuffed with rice and mushrooms, but I asked the staff there about what's the most popular chicken dishes and I was told the lemon garlic chicken was the most popular chicken dish. I opted to change my order to the lemon and garlic chicken with half spicy hummus and regular hummus with a side of potato salad. It comes with pita. The Lemon and Garlic Chicken was fantastic! That's not an understatement. The chicken was seasoned well and so flavorful! It came on top of a bed of rice. I felt like the rice was a bit rice. It could have been due to the juices of the chicken, but I don't think that was the case. I would have liked the rice to be more fluffy. The potato salad was different than other potato salads that I've had before with a strong herbs taste, but it was quite nice. I like it! When I was asking the staff which hummus was better. They offered the option of half and half. The lady in line behind me chimed in to get the spicy hummus and how its the best spicy hummus she's ever had. She wasn't wrong the spicy hummus was legit. So was the regular version. I really like the option to get both. It's the best of both worlds. The pita was disappointing. It wasn't hot or warm for that matter. It didn't taste super fresh more like something you would get in a package from the grocery store. I was dipping it in the hummus to make it taste better. I still feel the pita feel short of my expectations. The Cauliflower Fritters were good, but they weren't super fresh. When I ordered it, I noticed they were sitting out on top of a paper towel to soak up the oil. I asked the staff, is it fresh? and he said it was. I was kind of a fool to not insist for a fresh order, but I don't want to be that pain in the butt customer. Fried food that's not fresh is often soggy. This was the case of the cauliflower fritters. It wasn't very busy when I came in for a late lunch on a weekday. I feel like they had time to fry me up a new order especially when I was getting a full side. I really want to try this again, but I wouldn't get a cold and soggy fritter again. I highly recommend that you get the lemon and garlic chicken with the spicy/regular hummus and the potato salad. You cannot go wrong with this order. I would ask for a fresh order of cauliflower fritters and some warm pita especially if the line is not too long.The staff was very attentive and friendly. One of the guys who I assumed was the owner and boss came over to check in with me ask how I liked it. I will still say 5/5 because that chicken tho. This portion size is humongous. I'm a pretty big guy and I was so full they should have carted me out in a wheelbarrow. You can definitely share this order amongst two people. I only ate one Cauliflower fritter. I didn't even finish the pita because it wasn't so fresh tasting. That gives you an idea of big the portion sizes are. I can't wait to come back here. I'm salivating just thinking about that lemon and garlic chicken. You must come here and try their delicious food! You won't be disappointed!

Drove 40 minutes to support a Palestinian restaurant and the food was amazing. It is the best Mediterranean food I ever had and wish it was closer to me so I could try more of the menu. I would love to come here again. My sister and I shared one tray and it enough to make both of us full. The owner stepped out to help us order and we loved his recommendation. Will def come back again.

The raves are well-deserved!! When comfort food is this good, I don't need my preferred variety in texture or acid. The pita bread is thicker and delightfully fresh. First time here. The woman employee was so welcoming and helpful with deciding my order. Got the Garlic Lemon Chicken. For my 2 sides, spicy hummus and roasted grape tomatoes, cauliflower, garlic cloves and eggplant. Some of veggies were too oily but was olive oil. So the good kind of oily. Watch out the hummus IS spicy but great.I got used to the heat, but didn't like pepper seeds in it. The tender, mildly seasoned chicken fallsoff the bone! I kept eating long after my stomach was full. And with the big servings I got at least 3.5 meals! Next time I'll try the Cauliflower Fritters. They were sold out around 6:30pm on a Saturday. Some seating both inside and out. They also have Elegance Sandwich, which tastes like an elevated dark chocolate wafer bar. Not too sweet but rich chocolate and high quality ingredients. It's my mission to find these closer to home. It shares a small parking lot with a few other businesses, on corner of Slauson and Overhill Drive. Whether you're in the area or if you make a trip like me to Windsor Hills, you'll leave very happy!

I had training not far and met with a cousin to talk ideas and grab lunch. He had never been and this is my absolute favorite place to get a falafel pita. I used to live in south central and recently moved to Anaheim where falafel is within arms reach. BUT it's not the same. I've been in search so being near, I had to come. My cousin got the Jerusalem Chicken Plate and he was so happy with everything--honestly I'm not surprised. My boyfriend and I would split the plate and falafel and my life would feel more complete. The ladies behind the counter are always helpful.

Good foods, good price, good portion, and friendly people and service. This place is also Halal! The flavors of the chicken is really good...tender and juicy meats. Love the rice and the pita bread! They do have a seating area, but most of the customers buy it to go. The seating space is more for individual (bar style), maybe good for 10 people. The place is clean, and the parking is small.

Man I'm glad I found this spot online. I LOVE Mediterranean food but I've never had Palestinian. Seeing a billion choices makes my mouth water. Everything is just so healthy and so satisfying. Got the lemon garlic chicken, the plate had so much food I thought I'd need to save it for dinner. Too bad it was so good I finished it all in one go! Chicken was juicy, pita was fresh, and the rice well seasoned. Great spot, I hope they can expand!
