Mancora Peruvian Restaurant

Jerusalem Grill’s falafel fixers satisfy appetites for exotic Near Eastern cuisine with flavorful dishes made with juicy grilled meats, fresh produce, and tantalizing blends of herbs and spices. Appetizers serve as a prelude to full meals with dippable delights such as baked-eggplant baba gannouj ($4.99) or house-made hummus, made from a base of ground chickpeas, garlic, and lemon juice and endowed with powers of delicious taste by an experimental serum of olive oil and creamy tahini. Grilled-chicken kebab ($12.99) enrapture taste buds with a savory retinue of veggies, rice, hummus, and salad, and falafel sandwiches ($4.59) ease rivalries among ground spiced chickpea, tomato, lettuce, and tahini by scheduling a team-building sleepover within a fluffy pita. As a delicate denouement to a fine Mediterranean dinner, slices of baklava teem with rich deposits of pistachio amid flaky layers of phyllo dough and drizzles of sweet syrup.
