Hashem in Wasat al-Balad. All they serve is falafel and accoutrements, and it’s a little bit شعبي, but it is so good, and usually only ends up being about 2-3 JD per person. Photo credit: Yee, 2019
This picture is from the Jungle Fever cafe in Weibdeh, I love and highly recommend this cafe despite its terrible name, but this picture is here to encourage you to try everything you see that is “Lotus” flavored because it is delicious. This is the Lotus lazy cake (cheesecake). Photo credit: Yee, 2019
Spread from Tammouz in Weibdeh. Clockwise from the top, pesto hummus, kebbeh, tabbouleh, galayet bandora (stewed tomatoes with walnuts), bread, makdous (mini pickled eggplants stuffed with walnuts), and mutabal. A lot of places do this delicious spread just as well as Tammouz, but I put this one here specifically because it’s the only place I’ve ever seen with pesto hummus, and that, my friends, is a must-try.

My host mom’s mansaf. Hands down the best food in Amman came from my host mom’s kitchen. Malfuf, maqluba, mulukhiyah, mujadara… even spaghetti carbonara and lo mein; she could do it all, and it was all amazing. Photo credit: Yee, 2019
Breakfast spread from my host mom. Imagine waking up to this every day? I was truly blessed. Photo credit: Yee, 2019
