ami. - Jerusalem Street Food: Reviews & Ratings
Everything we had was super delicious and customer service was great. Nice outdoor area. Definitely going again!
Absolutely one of the most outstanding, delicious meals and place we've ever been to! The food is so fresh, so aromatic, so satisfying! We've literally tried half of their menu, and we're making our way through the second half! The people are so LOVELY there. Chef Ami is the best! He's so sweet, so funny and cares so much about the experience of his customers. I'm already craving my salad with succulent Chicken Schwarma!!!
Heard so much about Ami I had to take the drive! Very small establishment but oh so mighty! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! The chicken schnitzel hummus bowl and lamb rice bowl were definitely my favorites! Arayas were packed with so much flavor. Only wish I lived closer to this restaurant but definitely can’t wait to be back.
Just ate here for the first time and I’m just blown away by the quality and flavor of the food. My husband and I got two different dishes with Lame And both were absolutely fantastic and perfectly cooked. Their hummus was excellent and the pita was nice and fluffy. Will definitely be back to try their falafel.
We tried the weekend special- challah schnitzel, the latke pita sandwich and the babka and were wowed by how delicious they all were. Fresh, high quality authentic flavors that whisk you away to a Jerusalem market. Highly recommend!
What can I say??? I can’t get enough of this place. Great Israeli music playing while you eat food that soothes the soul. Authentic flavors of spices that make you feel like you are in Israel. Shuk salad, chicken shawarma, rice bowls and borekas. As someone who has tried pretty much the whole menu you can’t go wrong. Best way to eat is to get a bunch of things and share. Owners are a delight to see and appreciate every time you come.
I cannot get enough of their food!! It is such a gem of a place and a restaurant my family orders from at least once a week. Best pita and hummus you can find. There is so much flavor every dish (I have had them all). It is clean, healthy food that is filling and satisfying. The staff are so lovely. The owner made it a point to come greet me and thank me for my regular attendance. I feel welcome and appreciated. I am always excited to eat here.
Just got home from a recent trip to Israel and I ran to AMI The most authentic Israeli food in Chicago Don’t walk RUN The owner is the sweetest person and the food is incredible 5 stars
