Abu Shukri hummus is a popular and iconic food destination located in the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City. This establishment has been serving delicious hummus to locals and visitors for over 70 years, making it a cherished part of the city’s culinary culture.

    Excellent food just in the corner of 5th Station of Via Crucis. The mix falafel is a complete dish with several things, all of them delicious! The shawarma is also good. Price is compatible with what they serve.
