Street Food in Palestine: One of the biggest staples in Palestinian culture is the array of foods and flavors found in their traditional dishes. Volunteers can expect to be treated with delicious meals, including Fasoulya, Mansaf, Maqluba, and Kousa when they eat with their new neighbors and friends in Hebron. However, another highly accessible and tasty style of food that can be found in Palestine is street food.
Lining the streets of Hebron are numerous food stands, where you can find anything from snacks, sweets, to full meals.
- Palestinian BBQ
You can find multiple BBQ food stands in Hebron, where you will be attracted by the enticing smell of grilled chicken, tomatoes, onions, and peppers. This meal, both delicious and healthy, serves as an ideal lunch or dinner any day of the week.
- Potato Rings
Something that might be familiar to internationals are the fried potato stands. Thinly sliced potato carvings dipped in a fryer, this popular street food is a hybrid between potato chips and French fries. These potato rings serve as a warm and satisfying snack during the day and are a favorite of both Palestinians and Internationals.
- Shawarma
Another delicious type of street food that is enjoyed by internationals visiting Hebron is called Shawarma. Slices of meat or chicken are carved from a vertical rotisserie, where it is then wrapped in a fresh flatbread pita with vegetables and sauces of your choosing. This meal is quick, easy, and perfect to bring on the go.
- Fruit and Vegetable Markets
Some of the freshest fruits and vegetables you will ever eat will be found here in Palestine. Dates, avocados, grapes, peaches, watermelon, apricots, peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers are just some of the healthy choices that you will find right down the road at the local market.
The inexpensive prices and friendly nature of the fruit market owners make these stands very popular amongst volunteers.
- Qatayef
If you are craving a sweet dessert while walking through town after dinner, look no further than the Qatayef street stands. This dessert is an iconic sweet in Palestine that consists of either nuts or cheese wrapped in a doughy pancake batter.
Stopping by a vendor and buying this treat is a perfect way to end an evening in Hebron!
