Tip: Don't be fooled by the unimpressive exterior; the food is authentically Mediterranean/Lebanese and incredibly fresh. Try the chicken kabob plate or the hummus.

Jasmine Restaurant & Cafe Rochester Reviews
If you're looking for somewhere to grab a quick and healthy bite, this spot is exceptionally clean and the food was amazing! Definitely come in and check them out and support a small family-owned business.
My family and I visited for the first time after seeing so many great reviews, and we knew we had to give it a try. It absolutely exceeded our expectations! From start to finish, everything was incredible. We ordered the falafel and shrimp appetizers, along with the lamb and gyro plates, and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The gyro was hands down the best I’ve ever had! We were truly blown away and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
Lovely little place. Food was perfect and tasted great. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Portion sizes are big (imo) so take note!! All their meat is halal if you’re Muslim. Will come again if I’m ever in Rochester. Thank you for letting use your space at the back to pray guys. Really appreciate that. :)
You order yourself at the counter from the menu, but food is served fairly promptly and to your table. The flavors were fresh and delicious. Extremely generous portions for the value. I definitely go here again!
I had a fantastic experience at Jasmine Restaurant in Rochester! The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic, and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. I especially loved the falafel and hummus they were some of the best I’ve had. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone!
I have passed by Jasmines Mediterranean Cafe several times in the last few weeks. I stopped today and was greeted immediately. I ordered the Rice Bowl with rice, beef kafta kabobs, green peppers, extra feta cheese, extra Kalamata olives, cucumbers with Tahiti sauce. It was delicious! The beef kaftan kabobs was definitely the star as it was so tender and seasoned wonderfully. I also ordered the Kibbeh appetizer. You get 4 bulgur croquettes deep fried stuffed with ground beef and chopped onions. It comes with a side of tzatzi sauce. They were quite tasty, well seasoned and deep fried to a golden brown with a nice light crunch. I ordered my husband the Salmon Plate. This was baked salmon served with hummus, rice, and a Greek salad. My husband enjoyed this plate very much. Located in a small 3 store plaza on Mt. Hope, there is parking in front. The restaurant is open floor plan with plenty of seating. This will be my go to for Mediterranean food. 😁
I have celiac disease and ate here safely! They’re knowledgeable about gluten free and even bagged my food separately from my partner who ordered his with pita. Highly recommend the chicken kebab plate with the falafel appetizer and extra side of hummus. Everything was cooked perfectly, super flavorful, great portions and prices. Will definitely be back!!
This is our GoTo place. The ingredients is fresh, and everything is prepared and cooked in front of you. Not directly in front of you, but the kitchen is open where you see the cooks make everything. I've had "Shawarma" at other restaurants, and they were dry. Jasmine's Shawarma is not dry. And their Baklava is also not dry !!
Food is incredible--so fresh, so delicious. Fun menu with great combos. Fair prices for the high quality food. Exterior is unimpressive but don't let that fool you. The food is authentically Mediterranean/Lebanese. Think humus, olives, shawarma, gyro--YUM!!! Probably the best humus I have EVER had. Service was super friendly. The place was so clean. I am still thinking about the food 2 months later. Wish I lived closer!
In the area on business and found this restaurant on Google Maps and I'm so happy I did. The gentleman that greeted me was friendly and helpful. I ordered the Chicken Kabob Plate and it was fantastic. The bread that comes with it arrived piping hot, fresh out of the oven. To be honest, it is the best bread I've had at a restaurant serving shawarma and kabobs. As I sat in his restaurant eating my wonderful meal, so many diverse patrons came in. They all appeared to know him as he warmly welcomed them all and had conversations with them. This place is amazing for more than just the food. And the food alone is enough to make me want to come back.
It was our first time here and we really loved it. Food was great! My favorite was fresh juices. We tried both fresh orange juice and hibiscus flower juice. Both of them were very refreshing. Freshly baked pita and hummus were good as well. Loved all the sauces came with food. My only suggestion is chicken needs more flavor (we got the chicken plate).
First time I haven't finished a $20 meal. Sizeable portions, good vegetarian options, quick service, and exceptionally good falafel (fluffy inside and crisp fried outside). Only (minor) issue is that the only water is bottled, and everything feels just a smidge too salty or tart.
Excellent service, did made to order and promptly served. White bean soup, falafal pita were excellent. Location is a bit odd and the parking a bit weird, but choose to the airport which is great as there isn't much food service in the area.
The food was really good! Kabobs were so tender and flavorful , pita bread was yummy with the hummus and you get a nice portion for the price. I will definitely visit again!
Got the Greek Salad with Salmon. Would have given it it 4 stars, but it wasn't much of a salad for the price (it was a generous portion of salmon, tho. Just thought there should have been more to the 'large' salad...). Service was prompt and courteous. Establishment was well lit, clean, and nicely laid out. Will probably return to try some of their other things.
I appreciate online ordering being available and pickup went smoothly. However, I was disappointed 2/3 of the menu items I ordered, especially the rice given how expensive it was at $5.50/side. It's just plain white rice and I was expecting more oil/flavor/color. Also the manakeesh seemed to just be toppings baked onto pre-made pita versus using a dough like most places use. It had good flavor though. My favorite was the fried cauliflower though I think next time I would request a different sauce. What was given just didn't really go with it. I'd definitely give this restaurant another shot, but it's not on my favorite list yet.
