Having made incredible friends when working in Egypt, I had been invited to see Roz and K get married in Jordan where they live. Two days after the wedding and it was time to get the last supper before heading back to the UK.
Into Amman, down a couple of alley ways to their favourite spot; a family run cafe in the open air which serves the crispiest, fluffiest falafels I've ever tasted (and, having spent a great deal of time researching falafels in Egypt, Libya, Morocco etc, I feel able to comment!). We sat for nearly two hours combining the hot falafels with the light, almost sweet, breads, and a bowl of smooth tahini which provided the perfect setting for chickpeas and olive oil... not to forget the hot pickle or fava beans.
Life should be forced to slow down sometimes, and this was one of those perfect places to stop still for a while and fill up on great flavours.
