Of the food served is a myriad of traditional Jordanian breakfast dishes, including “Makdous”, “Mutabbal”, “Hummus”, “Foul”, “Mufarrakeh”, and many more. A “shrak” wrap that particularly stands out unites cheese and sundried tomatoes in a marriage of ivory and crimson, smooth and textured, and salty and piquant that is sure to sway the harshest of food critics. Tea and coffee dominate parts of the menu with items such as a rejuvenating “Floral Green” tea with lavender or fresh Yemeni coffee.

In addition to that served, victual is also sold at Shams Al Balad. In attractive mason jars are kept herbs and spices, while in a cozy alcove is stored the organic grub that is not used in the open kitchen wherein it is crafted into whatsoever a customer may order. As such, the menu’s richness lies not only in its cultural appreciation but also in the organic and farm fresh quality of its ingredients, including our beloved kale. This parallels with the quintessence of Shams Al Balad; it coruscates with its valuing of the local, the seasonal, the healthy, the environmental, and the cultural.
