Start classic. For a first order, try the falafel with hummus; both are repeatedly singled out as the restaurant’s strongest staples.
Try foul. Order the foul with fresh bread if you want a hearty traditional breakfast or brunch dish.
Explore stuffed. Falafel fans should try the onion-stuffed or cheese-stuffed versions for a more substantial variation.
Add olive oil. Ask for the green olive oil with hummus or mutabal; one reviewer found it added noticeable aroma.
Avoid weekends. If you want to minimise waiting, consider a quieter time rather than a busy weekend visit.
Save room. Finish with the restaurant’s signature sweet dish if you want a dessert after the savoury food.

One reviewer disliked the use of plastic cutlery with hot dishes such as liver and preferred normal cutlery.

The Bottom Line
Hashem Restaurants Dubai is a Jordanian-leaning Middle Eastern restaurant in Deira District - Deira, centred on familiar, filling dishes rather than elaborate dining. First-time diners can order the crisp falafel, creamy hummus, foul (fava bean stew) and freshly baked bread; these are the dishes reviews return to most often. Stuffed falafel, lamb liver and hummus topped with meat give the menu a little more range.
The food is repeatedly described as fresh, authentic and close to the taste of Amman. One reviewer particularly liked the onion- and cheese-stuffed falafel, while another called the lamb liver a favourite. The open kitchen and live cooking stations, mentioned in reviews, add a useful sense of seeing meals prepared fresh.
Expect a casual, calm setting with friendly service. Families are accommodated, and one review specifically describes the restaurant as toddler friendly. A vegetarian diner was offered a tasting before ordering, which may help if you are unfamiliar with the menu.
The restaurant is generally described as clean and reasonably priced, although one customer disliked plastic cutlery with hot dishes. Weekend waits may be slower, so visiting off-peak is worth considering.
