Best Falafel
in Amman

Falafel is the heartbeat of the Amman street food scene and the city's most beloved daily snack. Order it as a **'falafel sandwich'** in a warm pita or by the piece for a quick, high-energy bite. Amman's version is exceptionally crispy on the outside and bright green with fresh herbs on the inside. A simple falafel sandwich typically costs between 0.50 JOD and 1.50 JOD, making it accessible to everyone in the city. The trap is buying cold, pre-fried falafel from a generic buffet; the best spots in Amman always fry them fresh to order.
