Hashem Restaurant Down Town

Hashem Restaurant in Downtown Amman is known for its legendary status among locals and tourists alike, offering simple yet flavorful dishes that capture the essence of traditional Jordanian street food. My recent visit, where I ordered hummus, ful medames, falafel, msabbaha, and tea, was a delightful experience worth sharing. Ambience and Service: The atmosphere in Hashem is always bustling with energy. It’s a no-frills establishment, focusing on delivering great food over a lavish setting. The staff are efficient, quickly taking orders and ensuring that your meal arrives in a timely manner. I love how accessible this place is, being open 24 hours, making it perfect for a late-night snack or an early breakfast. The Food: • Hummus: The hummus was smooth, creamy, and drizzled with a generous amount of olive oil. It had the right balance of lemon and garlic, making it both light and flavorful. What really stood out was the perfect texture; not too thick, but just the right consistency to scoop up with a piece of pita bread. The subtle tanginess of the lemon blended well with the nuttiness of the chickpeas, making every bite satisfying. • Ful Medames: Ful at Hashem is one of my favorite dishes. It was served warm, with a rich texture that combined perfectly with the olive oil and cumin sprinkled on top. The ful had a hearty, earthy flavor, and it was delicious when paired with fresh mint leaves and tomatoes that added a fresh contrast to the dish. Every mouthful was filling and comforting. • Falafel: The falafel balls were crisp on the outside, but soft and fluffy inside. Packed with herbs, the falafel had a deep green color on the inside, which is always a good sign of freshness. They were well-seasoned with just the right amount of spices, and when eaten with the hummus and mint, the flavors truly complemented each other. • Msabbaha: A more rustic version of hummus, the msabbaha was heartier, with whole chickpeas adding a satisfying texture to the dish. The olive oil, garlic, and lemon really shone through, giving this dish a punch of flavor that was both refreshing and comforting. • Tea: To wash it all down, I had the traditional black tea, which came served in a glass. The tea was rich and aromatic, with a hint of mint, making it the perfect accompaniment to the heavy dishes. Its simplicity worked well as a palate cleanser between bites. Overall Experience: Hashem Restaurant never fails to deliver on its promise of authentic, delicious, and affordable food. The hummus and falafel are definite highlights, but the overall meal is more about the combination of flavors and textures across dishes. For anyone visiting Amman, Hashem offers an unmissable opportunity to enjoy traditional Jordanian food at its finest. I left feeling satisfied and will definitely be returning.

Best place to have food in Downtown Amman. Great and fast service. Loved it so much, I returned three times for meals.

Lots of locals here! Food is simple but very filling, we ordered potato & egg and hummus with meat, with a cup of tea, cost us 6 JOD. Great place for a quick meal.

We ordered the hummus with meat, hummus, falafel and stuffed falafel. The waiter will bring you bread and pickled vegetables (aka pickles, tomatoes and fresh onion and herbs). While the hummus with meat and stuffed falafel were good, I would recommend you just get the regular hummus and regular falafel. Regular hummus is UNREAL, silky smooth and perfectly acidic and creamy. Just delicious and still the best hummus I had in the country. Then the regular falafel is perfect and you get 10 -15 in an order so plenty for sharing. This place is cash only and you pay at the end with the cashier. There's no menu because they only serve approx 6 things....and also you eat over a table covered in plastic wrap fo easy cleaning. Tea and water available.

One of the most popular places in Amman It's really good in taste and generous provide free tea refill Free vegetables The price is low compared to other places Location perfect Fast Service It's really busy in the morning till 1 pm but you can find a table

The fact that every foreign tourist comes here made me not want to come but I asked some locals and they clearly love this busy spot, too. Holy shit what a meal and some of the best falafel I’ve ever had. The surprise hit was the hummus, which had a totally different texture from what I’m used to: almost like partially melted butter. I wish they did fresh baked bread instead of store bought pita. Other than that, this is a must do and the crazy atmosphere and strange alley -like setup adds to the appeal.

If the locals eat here then it must be a good food. Based in this theory we had 2 dinners here and we don't regret. The food is delicious and we ate everything from plate. Definitely I recommend fatteh with meat.

I visited about 50 restaraunts during my 4 months in Jordan and every one of them had the most delicious meals. I was pleased to finally visit this allegedly famous restaraunt in Wast Al-Balad. It was one of the worst restaraunts that I had visited, not only in Jordan, but in the entire world. I would not feed the food I had ordered to my dog, in fear that it may be its last meal. The falafel and potato with egg were semi-edible, if you are really hungry that is. The hummus with "meat" is only suitable for those who have no taste-buds and the first mouthful of it made me certain that I had been convicted to the toilet for the next two weeks. Pray for me 🤢🙏
