'The Best Street Food in Jerusalem A city rich in history and home to a medley of culinary traditions, Jerusalem is second to none when it comes to delicious street food. A unique balance between Eastern and Western influences, these dishes have become synonymous with the city and with Israeli culture. Be it hummus, falafel, bourekas or knafeh, get to know the popular street fare that gives Jerusalem its unique flavour, and discover the best places to find it. Crispy, fried and deliciously simple, falafel are traditionally made of ground chickpeas combined with a blend of herbs and spices. Commonly paired with a plate of hummus or stuffed into a pitta with salad and a side of chips, falafel are a versatile food that can be eaten as a snack or an inexpensive meal. Originating in Egypt, falafel quickly became an Israeli go-to, thanks in part to Yemenite Jews who began serving them in a pitta sandwich when they arrived at the country in the 1950s. Countless stalls, kiosks and family-run establishments serve falafel in the Holy City, but it’s Shalom Falafel, Falafel Brothers Levy and Mercaz Hafalafel Hatemani that are the local favourites. Visiting Jerusalem is about so much more than just seeing the Western Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It’s also about spending time and absorbing this intense city. As you move from one site to another, take the time to sit down and grab something to eat. You’ll find some of the best street food here. All of the places I recommend are either in the middle of the city or in the Old City, so you won’t have to go too far. In the Old City Abu Shukri Hummus Address: In the Old City, Ha-Gai (EL Wad) 63 Whether you started your day at the Mount of Olives and entered the Old City via the Lion’s Gate, or were just wandering around the Old City, you will find this famous hummus joint the perfect place to sit.

While street food in Israel isn’t hard to come by, it’s hard to weed out the authentic eats from the tourist traps. Jerusalem’s food scene is one where like its classical musicians, Jewish authenticity takes center stage. Even the hottest spots thrive on Jerusalem’s genuine vibe, as hip night spots lead by chefs bring out the beauty of the market, delighting locals and visitors alike. In all this hustle and bustle, no matter how hip, there’s always a touch of vintage, history and Jerusalem-chic. From traditional sabich and falafel to new school pita pocket fillings like fried red mullet and \"chraime\" (a spicy North African fish dish), Jerusalem restaurants are serving up the goods.
