Frommer's Review

Sima's is my favorite place on the street, and a local legend for its wonderfully seasoned Jerusalem Mixed Grill, which comes with chips (french fries), salad, bread, and condiments if you order it as a platter. I like the mixed grill better in its less-expansive pita sandwich form. Sima's is often mobbed, so a takeout mixed-grill pita sandwich could be a good bet. You must order a platter meal rather than a sandwich in order to qualify for table service at busy times. Best not to think about which iron, vitamin B and cholesterol-rich organs may be lurking in the mixed grill (most of which is chicken and lamb). Sima's fame has led to a branch opening in trendy Tel Aviv. Tip: I like to slice a small, fresh market tomato into my mixed grill sandwich.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
