Jerusalem Restaurant, Toronto, Mediterranean

Jerusalem Restaurant Description

JJerusalem Restaurant established in 1971 and became the first middle-eastern restaurant to serve the Great Toronto Area. It was the joint venture of three brothers who shared the idea of introducing traditional culinary secrets to the mainstream.

Since then, it has always been valued for its excellent quality and great tasting food. Currently, there are two locations in Toronto. Both are family owned and operated providing its clientele with a warm, casual atmosphere delivering a splendid variety of home-style middle-eastern cuisine. Essential to the success of this family operated business is the emphasis placed on delivering consistent top quality food made from the finest ingredients to ensure complete customer satisfaction. At Jerusalem Restaurant we take great pride in having perfected this art as a tradition.
