Hashem Restaurant
مطعم هاشم
A legendary, budget-friendly institution in downtown Amman, founded in the 1950s and serving falafel and ful medames 24/7.
Tucked away in an alley off King Faisal Street in downtown Amman, this is the city's most famous budget-friendly institution, operating 24 hours a day. There is no official price list, and you barely need to look at a menu once seated; the staff will quickly bring out falafel, hummus, ful medames, and pita bread, accompanied by tomatoes, onions, and mint. You can also order fatteh and mutabbal, and finish with mint tea. It gets crowded during peak hours, often requiring table-sharing, but service is extremely fast. Reservations are not accepted. A meal for two usually costs less than $10. It is just a few minutes' walk to the Roman Theater.
