Falafel Fit For A King

Ahh the joys of being able to travel and eat wonderful vegetarian street food. I am a HUGE fan of falafel and was pretty excited when our tour guide Mohammed took us to one of the best falafel places Amman, Jordan has to offer - 'Hashem!' Mohammed claimed that even the King and his royal family had eaten at this place, and the food was definitely inexpensive and delicious.

I will admit that 'Hashem' is not the cleanest restaurant in Amman, but it's definitely a backpacker's paradise. The place is always packed with locals and tourists alike, so you know the food has to be fresh. I don't think they had a menu, but Mohammed ordered it all for us... Delicious bread, foul (beans), hummus that was to die for, mint tea and more tasty food that I can't name.


So if you ever go to Amman, make sure you don't leave without hitting up the 'Hashem' restaurant... A full meal will cost you around 3 JD,  and you definitely won't regret it!
