Jerusalem Garden

Jerusalem Garden in Ann Arbor consistently delights diners with its vibrant Middle Eastern flavors and welcoming atmosphere. Patrons rave about the succulent chicken shawarma, perfectly crisp falafel, and creamy, addictive hummus, often paired with their legendary garlic sauce (toum). The pistachio baklava receives particular praise as some of the best around, while the friendly staff and spacious, clean environment enhance the experience. Some note occasional service inconsistencies during peak hours and portions that can feel small for the price. Still, this beloved local institution delivers authentic Palestinian cuisine that keeps the University of Michigan community and beyond returning for more.
