Cafe Jerusalem

I could sing praises for Cafe Jerusalem all day. But in particular for their healthiness! I was craving vegetables the other day so I had their falafel salad for lunch. I got a massive salad with heaps of crunchy baby spinach leaves drizzled with hummus and greek yogurt - it was divine and definitely the health fix I was looking for. Try one of their meat options or you can get it in a shawarma if you’re after something a bit more substantial.

Hidden away in a sweet cobble-stoned alley way in one of Northland’s buzziest towns is Cafe Jerusalem. It’s as vibrant and colourful as it is tasty. I had the vege plate which is a mix of levivot (vegetable fritters essentially) and falafel. The levivot was soft and creamy while the falafel came in round balls that were wonderfully crunchy. There was a great deal of food and the perfect mix of salad, rice and protein meant it made for an easy and nutritious takeaway too - win win! Don’t forget to check out their glam jewellery on the wall too.

Tucked at the back of a sweet little alley with BIG, delicious meals at super reasonable prices, the value here is gooood. Kudos, too, for the vegetarian choices.
