There was also a big bowl of red chili sauce on our table, and being addicted to chili, I was happy to see it. It was rich and fluffy, with a lovely garlicky taste.Īlternating between bites of hummus and moutabel was delicious. The moutabel at Hashem included roasted eggplant, pureed into a paste, along with yoghurt, and a hint of lemon juice, drizzled with olive oil, and topped with a spoon of Arabic salad. The sibling to hummus is moutabel, and it’s one of my personal favorite dips of them all. There are no utensils served at Hashem, although I ended up asking for a spoon to scoop everything out, but instead you break off little pieces of bread to scoop up all the different dips. What I really liked was that extra scoop of green chili sauce on top, which elevated the taste of the hummus and gave it a noticeable lemon juice freshness.Įnter your email and I’ll send you the best travel food content. The hummus was smooth and creamy, and although it was doused in olive oil, it didn’t feel too oily or greasy. It would be nearly impossible to go to Hashem Restaurant without ordering hummus, not only because it’s a standard dish they serve, but also because they make it so well.
They also have moutabel, ful medames, hummus, and fattet hummus and probably a few other dishes I missed. You can then choose your main dishes, falafel is a must – and the owner even claims falafel was invented in Jordan (I’m honestly not really sure where falafel was invented, but I can say I had the best falafel in Jordan of anywhere). And you’ll also get a paper topped with bread. After you find a table, you’ll immediately, or at least pretty quickly depending on how busy they are, be delivered a plate of vegetables – onions, tomatoes, and mint. There’s no menu at Hashem Restaurant, but they serve a basic set of dishes that never changes. The food at Hashem Restaurant is actually prepared indoors and they have indoor seating as well, but because most of the seating is open air, along the sidewalk and sandwiched between two downtown buildings in Amman, I’d classify it as street food.
