About Afteem

Afteem is the first falafel restaurant in Bethlehem, founded in 1948 by the Salamehs who came from Yaffa as refugees.

The restaurant was named after the son of the founder, Saliba.

The restaurant staffs are friendly, and the inside is always kept clean. It is said that many VIPs stop at this restaurant when they visit Palestine.

Their kitchen is always busy. Even fruit juices are freshly made for each order.

It is always full of locals, especially after Islam’s Friday worship or Christmas parades. Come earlier on Friday or when some event is taking place at Manger Square.

Of course, other plates, such as hummus or fool mdammas, are delicious, too. Homemade fresh lemonade is also a must-try!
