I never tried Kosher food until today. The food is delicious and the owner is great at customer service. I recommend the Pita Kbab and Isreali salad. Also, her Baklava is out of this world.
The food here is worth the money and the Owner is a 5 star person.

Effectively perfect comfort food. The grape leaves in date sauce is delightful. The hummus is exceptional. Order all the things, but leave space for the baklava.

Amazing place!! The food was truly delicious, the hummus is incredible and it is the best brisket I’ve ever had! We were even served by the owner, the nicest Israeli lady I’ve ever met. A must go and must try!!!

Cafe Yerushalmi is an absolute gem in Tallahassee and easily one of the most authentic, heartwarming dining experiences you’ll find anywhere in town. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth, kindness, and the feeling that you’re being welcomed into someone’s home rather than a restaurant.
The food is outstanding across the board Nfresh, homemade, and full of soul. The hummus alone deserves its own spotlight rich, creamy, and flavorful enough to be a meal on its own. The chicken schnitzel, shawarma, brisket, falafel, and stuffed grape leaves are all cooked to order and bursting with authentic Israeli flavor. And the baklava? Truly next-level crispy, perfectly sweet, and clearly made with care.
What truly sets Cafe Yerushalmi apart is Maggie, the owner. She does it all welcoming guests, cooking, serving, and making every single person feel like family. Her passion and love shine through in every dish and every interaction. This is not fast food, but it is absolutely worth the wait.
If you’re looking for kosher food, authentic Israeli cuisine, or simply an unforgettable meal made with love, this place is a must-visit. Cozy, genuine, and consistently delicious.

Come on Tallahassee! Where are you? This place is rocking with flavor and service. You can taste the freshness and the homemade flavors. The stuffed grape leaves are out of this world. The matzoh ball soup is a delicious generous portion and a bowl portion comes with two firm matzoh balls. We also ordered a falafel plate and a chicken shnitzel plate. Both were generous portions, delicious, and at the right price point. I have no clue why this place was so empty. Cone on Tally.

I ordered the Yerushalmi and absolutely loved it. It was completely different from anything I’ve had before, in the best way. The hummus was so rich and satisfying that it truly worked as a main dish.

This is not fast food, it’s authentic Holy Land goodness. It takes time for this sweet lady to prepare a delicious meal, so expect a bit of wait time. First time trying baklava, and it was SO good! You pay extra for sweet tea, but all in all, it was a special experience.

If you’re looking for a spot that feels like a hug the moment you walk in, Cafe Yerushalmi is it. Maggie herself is truly one of a kind she greets every guest as if they’re family, and her warmth sets the tone for the whole experience. The service is effortless, genuine, and full of heart, and you can feel how much pride she pours into every detail.
And the food, absolutely unforgettable. Every dish tastes fresh, beautifully seasoned, and clearly made with love. From the first bite to the last, you get that perfect balance of home-style comfort and real Israeli flavor. It’s the kind of place where you find yourself eating slower just so you can make the moment last.
Maggie has created something special delicious food, incredible service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again. A true gem!
