Rukab's is arguably the most iconic food institution in all of Ramallah — a family-run ice cream parlor operating since 1941 that serves stretchy, mastic-flavored Arabic ice cream (booza) in a no-frills setting that has changed little in decades. The pistachio and mastic flavors are mandatory, and the experience of watching the ice cream being stretched and pounded is unforgettable. Lines can be very long on summer evenings but move quickly.
