Best Hummus & Mezze
in Amman

Hummus is much more than a dip in Amman; it is a primary meal and a deep source of local culinary pride. Order it by asking for **'hummus ma' lahmeh'** (with meat) or **'fatteh hummus'** for a warm, comforting bowl of chickpeas and yogurt. The city's hummus is famous for its silky, smooth texture and the high quality of the local olive oil used to top it. A full mezze spread in a traditional Amman eatery typically costs between 5 JOD and 15 JOD depending on the number of small plates. The trap is buying mass-produced hummus from a supermarket when fresh, hand-pounded versions are available on almost every street corner.
