ג'קו סטריט - מסעדת שף כשרה

One of the best restaurants in Jerusalem! Lots of great options on the menu inspired by Kurdish cuisine. Order the dessert platter for a fun musical performance!

Atmosphere: with the right lighting level, best Israeli songs of all time and the right decoration, you get the best atmosphere. Food: delicious! asado bruschetta: 5 stars! AMAZING! kurdish ravioli: 4 stars. Sourness. beef kebab: 3.5 stars. Nice. hamburger 250g: 5 stars! What a taste! Cocktail: mango and passionflower with alcohol: great fresh taste. Price: not cheap, but worth the money. Staff: amazing. Very nice and welcoming service. Tip: eat at the bar!

Overall, the experience was disappointing and not worth the cost. We had to wait around half an hour just to be seated, not to mention the excessively high prices - especially given the small portion sizes: one of us ordered gnocchi for almost 90 NIS and received a disgracefully small serving of about 20 medium-sized pieces, which were also quite dry and lacking in flavor. Even worse, another dish (foie gras) took nearly an hour to arrive and was only served after the rest of us had already finished eating. The rest of the food was anything from a shame to mediocre at best. Not to mention the loud music, which made the place feel more like a nightclub than a restaurant. We couldn’t hear each other speak and were refused when we asked to lower the volume - even though we were seated right below one of the speakers.

Excellent! So lucky to find this gem on a Christmas Day! I think it definitely deserve better review, and more people should come and check it out! Glaze goose liver with semolina cake was divine! Cabbage was good, chicken livers were delicious, whole sea bream was fresh, Thai sea fish sashimi was good, but I wasn't that into it (maybe because I was blow away with the goose liver! Definitely a place to come! Btw, warning, portion is HUGE!

We heard a lot about this place and finally decided to go and try it out. Everything was 10/10 but I have to say I was underwhelmed by the food. Not the presentation (because that was great, as you can tell by the images), rather the food itself, was ok to say the least. I’ll add that it was quite pricey as well….just giving my honest feed back.
