Food is great here every time. Usually order for pickup. They had baklava my first visit, but ever since then they’ve been out. Hope to see it back because it was delicious.

Jasmine Restaurant & Hookah Lounge is an absolute gem! The place is simply outstanding, with every dish bursting with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. The hummus and kebabs are must-tries! The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing evening with friends or family. The hookah experience is top-notch, with a variety of flavors and smooth service. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every visit feels special. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and service. If you’re in the area and looking for a great Mediterranean dining experience paired with a chill vibe, Jasmine is the place to be! Highly recommend!

The food was very fresh and delicious. We received excellent service from Mina and the other staff members. The restaurant's ambiance is a bit lacking, though I was told that they recently moved to this new location so it's to be expected. Overall, I am very impressed with this restaurant and would dine here again.

Finally tried this place. Absolutely delicious! Mediterranean food is my fave and Jasmine Cafe is my new, local favorite - even better than Georgie’s Mediterranean. The flavor of the kefta was perfection. And the tzatziki was the best. The owners are incredibly hospitable. We will be regulars!

Rice was dry no flavor. The meat and chicken tasted like it was reheated. The salad was wilted. First time trying not good

Been coming here since the summer. Didn't know about it until I was looking up a restaurant that was open late and jasmine rice popped up. Now, tonight was the first time we had the pleasure of meeting Mina, the owner of this restaurant. He was very attentive to iur needs. Even gave us a free camomile tea which was delicious 😋 and helped sooth my tummy. We ordered the beef plate with hummus rice and they give the salad but we opted for no salad. Side plate or grilled tomatoes and onion so delicious and basket of pita bread. Our experience here has been a delight every visit. If you plan to go here you will not regret it. Great job Mina.

I was actually really happy with the food and service here.. UNTIL my husband went to buy two soda cans for our dinner, which totaled out to $6 and some change(cool I get it, profit where you can) but I realized the guy kept looking at me funny after that transaction. I noticed the next morning that the associate added an extra $2 tip HIMSELF to this transaction. I don’t mind tipping, in fact I usually leave extra cash on the table as well. HOWEVER for someone to give them self a tip out of my account. Ridiculous. We won’t be back.

I ordered the gyro entree today from a new employee named Elizebeth. At first I thought the price of the food was a little unreasonable but once I received my order, it was well worth it. The meat was cooked perfectly and the presentation was decorative, as expected for a Mediterranean dish. The inside of the store is very clean, the upbeat music makes you feel at home. This is easily one of my new favorite places!
