Welcome to another episode of Chopstick Travel. Today we take you on the ultimate street food tour through the Holy city of Old Jerusalem, within the city walls only. Old Jerusalem is an ancient area, and is packed with street foods, teas & coffee, fresh produce, historic and religious relics and endless sightseeing opportunities.
We take you to eat some delicious Palestinian food all around the city, starting with the simple Za’atar bread. Next we locate some spiced lamb kebabs, cooked fresh over fire. And to wash down the kebabs, a delicious & cheap hummus! We then find a bizarre yellow sweet, called date bread, as a dessert. After, we head to a famous Palestinian spice shop, where you tell them exactly what you’re going to cook, and they create the perfect spice blend for you. We picked up local spices - za’atar and sumac, as well as a special spice concoction. Next, we take a short break with some street side Arabic coffee, spiced with cardamon. We decide to do some sightseeing to digest some food. Our first sight was a short stop to the Western Wall. Then we visit an ancient sweet shop, over 150 years old for mutabak. We then visit the next sight - the Dome of the Rock, and then the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. To end our insane day of eating street food inside the old city, we pick up a pomegranate/orange juice, freshly pressed, and head to a small shop selling kanefe.
All shops, restaurants and sights are located within the city walls. There aren’t addresses, but using Google Maps, you can type in the name of the shop and it will give you an approximate location. A better option, ask shop owners inside the Old City. They give great directions. Here are the names of the shops/approximate locations:
- Za’atar bread - NEAR DAMASCUS GATE ENTRANCE
- Lamb kebabs - ON SHUK HA-TSORFIM ST. (also near Shaheen Kebab)
- Hummus - ARAFAT HUMMUS
- Date bread - NEXT TO ARAFAT HUMMUS
- Spices - SEA OF HERBS JERUSALEM
- Arabic Coffee - can be found all around the Old City
- Sight #1 - THE WESTERN WALL
- Mutabak - ZALATIMO SWEETS (we had to ask a shop owner for directions)
- Sight #2 - DOME OF THE ROCK
- Sight #3 - CHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE
- Pomegranate & Orange Juice - NEAR THE AUSTRIAN HOSPICE
- Kanefe & tea - CONFECTIONERY JAFAR

Food can be kind of expensive in the touristy areas. If you go off the beaten path on the side streets you can find a lot of restaurants where you can find a good meal for $6 - $12.
