I can't get over how gorgeous the interior is wow! The food was also exceptional! Best hummus I've ever had and serving sizes left me satisfied but not stuffed. Prices are also reasonable and our waiter was very sweet.
This is a beautiful restaurant with a warm and friendly owner.
The food is…passable, but the beautiful ambiance is the main draw. Everything in the restaurant was designed or painted by the owner, and it really is quite beautiful - from the menus to the ceilings!
The pricing is a little on the expensive side.
Go a little early to really enjoy the ambiance.

I absolutely adore Middle-Eastern cuisine, ever since going to there for the first time to Jordan a few years ago, so I'm always looking for new spots in Ottawa to enjoy!

I've always walked by this restaurant whenever I go to the Glebe area, and have always been curious. So when a colleague (thank you Janine!) recently recommended Jericho to me, so I went with a friend and we tried these dishes:
.
House Specials: #2 Lamb Kafta, which is ground lamb mixed with onion, parsley and spices. This was my favourite out of the two house specials. The lamb was SO tender, and really flavourful, given the unique blend of spices. I would absolutely recommend this as a must-order! Thank you Janine for recommending this.
.
House Specials: #5 House Combo, which has homus, kebby, grape leaves, salad and fatayer. Kebby is cracked wheat stuffed with beef, onions, pine nuts and spices. Fatayer is spinach pies. This dish was a good way to try a bit of everything. If you're someone who enjoys variety, this is a good choice! I especially enjoyed the kebby, as the mix of spices used in the beef was different from those in the lamb kafta!
.
The other house specials (there are 5) are: Grilled spicy chicken breast, Shish kebab, and a Chicken Wrap.
.
I recommend dining in the restaurant, as it is beautifully decorated and spacious. The owner came by and told us that he created all of the art on the walls! The owner was super friendly and really helpful with regards to helping us decide on what to order.
.
Next time, I want to try their Falafel, as well as their Kabab Combination (chicken/beef)!
