Heart of Jerusalem ~ Colorado Springs, Colorado

We received a surprise visit from Mr. and Lady Music recently! They slipped into town without notice (explained below). For this meal, we didn't attend, so Mr. Music gets in the first non-RJG RJG review from Colorado Springs! Haha. We haven't been here, so let's see how they fared.

Just noticed that Heart of Jerusalem has 3 locations here in town, including a new one up north near where we live. They also have a location in Winter Springs, Florida.

Lady Music and I went to Colorado Springs to visit friends and do a little sight seeing. Of course we had plans to drop in on Mr. and Mrs. RJG! Our other friends that live there had their first baby just 2 days before we got there. They recommended Heart of Jerusalem so we decided to check it out. We had a plate with some falafel, kebobs, chicken shawarma, hummus and tabouli and yummy pita, of course. We also ordered a wrap with most of the same stuff. Everything was fresh and delicious. The falafel was shaped into a heart! It was very light and crispy. I think the chickpeas were ground more finely than other places I've had it so it was not as chunky and gritty, but I like it both ways. The chicken shawarma had a different texture too. I cannot put my finger on it but it was not as chewy maybe. It was very tasty though. The kebabs were moist and flavorful. The tabouli and hummus with pita were delish. The meat and falafel seemed to be more processed than other places I've been. I'm not saying this in a negative way, in fact some people might like it like that a lot better. It's just a little different then what I've had before.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very cheery and super clean. The prices were very reasonable as well. All in all it was a great experience. Lady Music is a big fan as well!
