Rachmo

Jerusalem


Rachmo is a beloved staple of Mahane Yehuda Market that specialises in no-frills Kurdish Jewish cooking. Located on a corner off the market’s main street, it offers up hearty meatballs and Kurdish-style kibbeh (meat-filled cracked wheat croquettes) stewed in flavourful soups, plus essentials like creamy hummus and salad spreads.
