According to Ammon News, the union of restaurant owners along with the Consumer Protection Association issued and distributed a list of new prices for falafel and hummus, for all restaurants to abide by. Five piasters should now buy you three pieces of falafel instead of two, and a plate of hummus should cost 0.5 JD instead of 0.65.
I found it amusing when I was in New York City that a small plate of hummus costs around $7, and a good Shawarma sandwich around $10. Even though it tasted as good as it does here (pretty much), i felt that its spirit was lacking! Some would argue that this can be said about Falafel Hut in sweifieh, where you order a "Falafel Burger", and pay something like 1.5 JDs for it (as I've been told). A wise friend of mine calls it "blasphemous" to pay this much for a falafel sandwich ;)
My friend Thomas from Holland claims that Amsterdam has the best Falafel bar in the world. I have yet to try that :)
