Hashem

Saudi Arabia


A big green and yellow sign greets you at this popular, local establishment on the corner of a busy intersection. Famous for its delicious mezze, Hashem has the best hummus in town, or at least the prettiest, given the patterned creations from the chef. It also does excellent falafel and shawarma wraps.
