If there is a humus war in Jerusalem - Isaac is taking a big shot

The meter's principle of moving away from the Mahane Yehuda market as much as possible leads it to Chick Isaac, where happily serving refilled hummus is not the only reason he fell in love with this place.

Every time I go back to central Jerusalem I find myself moving away from the market of the camp of Judea more and more, it is too overcrowded, overloaded and lost some of the originality of the time, the same earthly charm that was in every alley, even though the Jerusalemites themselves try not to reach the market unless they really Need something special.

If you walk a little with the bell in the direction of the Jerusalem pedestrian center, you can see new places in almost every corner, I decided to take advantage of travel between the area and a re-scan of the area, on the corner of the street assessors opened hummus on the inside of the pedestrian street, should go into Ankuri Street from the street Jaffa towards the south and only then do you see the chickpea Isaac.

When I got into the hummus, I asked my regular questions, one of which is especially important to me - is there a refill for the hummus? Although I don't usually take advantage of the refill option at all, it contributes to my sense of calm, the same feeling that goes with the perfect wipe, knowing you can restore the flavor, if you will. There is a refill, I was soothed, I sat down to eat, a little calmer.

I ordered a dish of chickpea and Paul, coming in a small dish but full of chickpeas, a little less Paul over, I already learned that there are places that do not star in their Paul, the pool of Isaac hummus is not interesting enough but the hum of Isaac is excellent, a little salty, but very airy, Full of accurate seasoning. It is precisely the salt that has sharpened the taste of the chickpeas in the dish, it is not a classic Jerusalem casting hummus that can be found in every second hummus in Jerusalem, here airiness is the name of the game. I couldn't stop eating the chickpeas, you will still want to refill. Regarding the pita, someone in Jerusalem probably got the formula and bakes the pita just as it should be, already it was a good sign that I was in excellent humus.

Near the hummus you get three handful of falafel balls, one that you haven't eaten for a long time if at all, it's a ball they make on the spot from Samir's hand, Samir prepares them in the palm of his hand, lightly squeezes the falafel mixture and drops them from his palm an inch of the hot oil in an act that approaches a real jerk Each one of the different parts of the oil, one by one, is an Arabian green falafel with a thin coating, its inside crisp, filling the vegetable-flavored mouth cavity that blends into the minced hummus, feeling the vegetable more than the hummus itself in the falafel. If there is a local chick war in Jerusalem, Chick Isaac is taking big, and not just because of the refill.
