For a newly opened restaurant, the service was impeccable, and the food is delicious! The baba ghanoush was wonderfully sprinkled with pomegranate which added a delicious flavor. We will be back!

Jordan River is an incredible cafe, full of life, culture, and gorgeous decor. They really brought a gem to Monroe Avenue, and the drinks are fantastic, as is the food. Everything tastes freshly made, and prepared with care. I will be back very soon.

Great new spot in town! People are extremely kind. The grandmother that works there is a legend! She makes you feel like you are at your grandparents house. The second story balcony is a very cool spot on a nice day. Overall 10 out of 5 stars. P.S. the round baklava dessert is made by them and is the best I've ever tried!

To all the health conscious eaters with IBS issues this place uses the correct oils and the correct cooking methods. We ate here two days in a row with the family and felt exceedingly good. Bonus is that the food is heavenly and as a Levantine restaurant it’s top notch. No shortcuts everything was made following authentic methods with top grade ingredients. It takes 20-30 minutes for the food but everything is made from scratch and I’d rather wait than have them rush the process. It’s worth the time. 10/10 definitely recommend.
