Mealtime: Abu Jamil

Hummus is an obsession in Israel and within the region. It is very interesting to taste the hummus all of over Israel because each region has its own distinct taste. That means every restaurant's hummus will be slightly different. This means that there are an abundant amount of restaurants serving the hummus which might look the same, but are different in taste. In the pursuit of trying the most ethereal hummus in Israel, my stomach was led to Abu Jamil in Jaffa at the intersection of Yefet and Dr Ehrlich.  It was there that I had one of my favorite plates of hummus. I ordered the hummus with ground meat. That might sound to the average person odd and strange. Trust me, this plate of hummus was one of the best I have had. I liked the presence of the cooked and spiced ground meat. It was delicious with the creamy texture of the hummus. Even though my friend and I just ordered hummus, we got a bunch of salads, falafel, and french fries as well with our hummus. It was an epic meal because we just ordered the hummus and got a lot more food without the employee even telling us he was giving us the salad, falafel, and french fries. Abu Jamil in my mind is one of the better places in Jaffa for hummus. If you are tired of Abu Hassan or any of the other hummus eateries in Jaffa, try Abu Jamil. Enjoy!
