Falafel in Amman

The famous Amman falafel: crunchy chickpea fritters, iconic shops like Hashem and street servings.

Falafel — crisp, golden chickpea fritters served in warm pita with salad and tahini — is Jordan's everyday hero. Amman's famous outlets serve it hot from the fryer, sometimes with a cone of hummus.

Pairs perfectly with fresh mint tea. The classic orders flow all day long. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan plan a falafel stop for breakfast or a light lunch, and full package tours to Jordan schedule a bite at the famous counters.
