Dining at Hashem Restaurant in downtown Amman was an experience full of energy, flavor, and authenticity. Tucked into the heart of the city, this iconic spot pulses with life—bustling with locals and visitors alike, yet somehow still feels welcoming and effortless.
The moment I arrived, I knew I was in the right place. There’s something charmingly chaotic about it—the waiters weaving through the tables with trays of hot falafel, creamy hummus, and fresh bread, while the sounds of the city spill in around you. It truly feels like you’re eating in the very soul of Amman.
Hashem met all expectations and then some. The food was clean, incredibly fresh, and bursting with flavor. Each dish had that home-cooked honesty to it—simple, generous, and deeply satisfying. The falafel was crisp and golden, the hummus velvety smooth, and everything came out quickly despite the crowds. What I appreciated most was how effortlessly it all came together—you could taste the tradition behind every bite.
And while the food alone was enough to draw me in, what made the experience even more memorable was the setting itself. Dining right in the midst of all the activity, seated outdoors under the soft glow of streetlights, felt wonderfully immersive. It’s not a polished or quiet place—but that’s exactly what makes it so vibrant and real. You feel connected—to the city, the people, the rhythm of everyday life.
To top it all off, the prices are incredibly affordable. For such fresh, flavorful food in such a prime location, Hashem is a rare find—no pretense, just honest food and a generous spirit.
If you’re visiting Amman and want to experience something local, alive, and truly satisfying, a meal at Hashem is a must.
