Restaurant Review: Stones

STONES is a restaurant/coffee bar located in Ramallah adjacent to the Municipality Building of the city. It serves coffee, hookah, and burgers, pasta dishes, chicken and meat dishes and refreshing drinks for those hot summer days. Prices are reasonable. It maay vary depending on the order.

I visited STONES twice so far. Once with a group from work and once with my husband, there was a huge difference in regards to the times we went. When I went with a group of friends it was on a weekday. I started off with a lemonade mint slushy style. I would recommend this sweet yet lemony drink with a hint of lemon. if you are looking for a refreshing drink, I would definitely recommend this. It was a medium glass which cost about 15 shekels. I also ordered a chicken stones on the rock. This dish was compromised of grilled chicken breast, a side of rice with dices of sweet red bell pepper, grilled zucchini, and grilled potato wedges all smothered with a creamy chicken broth. This dish cost about 60 shekels. It was an excellent dish but only recommended for dinner not lunch. We ended with an apple flavored hookah. Everyone had a good time. The service was fair. Wasn't loud or crowded.


When I returned to STONES for the second time with my husband we ended up going on a Sunday evening. It was loud, and packed with people. The service was fair. This time we both ordered fettuccine Alfredo. The sauce was watered down and it did not taste that great. This dish cost about 40 shekels.

I recommend if anyone goes that you should go on a weekday when it is calm. There prices range from 25 shekels to 80 shekels per dish depending on what you order. They serve breakfast, dinner and lunch. They also deliver. Wireless internet is available.

This cafe offers soups, salads, pizza's and phyllo doughs filled with spinach, cheese or whatever you want. Its a good spot to have lunch or dinner as well as grab coffee with a group of friends. Artopolis it has a very warm welcoming feel. Going to this cafe on a weekday was very relaxing. The weekends can get sort of crowded. I started off with a chicken and rice lemon soup. Boneless skinless pieces of chicken breast with rice and a creamy based lemon soup. For my main dish I chose the chicken and cheese phyllo with a side of veggies. It was delightful. The average cost per plate would be around $12 sometimes more depending on what you get. They also have great desserts and coffee. You can go to this place a million times and never get sick of it. It has a great up beat atmosphere.
