Find out what Middle Eastern restaurants to try in Amman. Amman's layered history is reflected in its diverse people and its varied architecture. Home to numerous churches and mosques, the city is home to a multidenominational and multicultural population. Even within the midst of the ultra-modern commercial center of the city there is evidence of its ancient roots, with colorful ancient souks, Roman ruins, cultural museums and monuments painting a picture of the history of the region.

Al-Quds

Reviewed By jordan2018adventure

Al Quds falafel is known all over the kingdom for their 55 cent falafel sandwiches. Enjoy the experience of standing on the street and watching the staff fry your falafel fresh. Their sandwiches take a different twist than other shops because they use yeast bread rolls and then press them in a panini maker. Go and find out how yummy they are.

Maybe I am used to a different kind of Lebanese or Arabic food so I didn't enjoy it that much.Food was okay, I have had way better hummus, better Sheesh Tawook, better grill in the past.Their sweets were really good though.Atmosphere is okay but smoking kills it. Service is good and they are eager to take care if your needs.

Habibah Sweets

Reviewed By Mayogirl8080

I found Habibah Sweets by way of the receptionist at the hotel. He wrote down the name and told me to keep walking till you see the "line". He wasn't not joking their was a line wrapped around the block for Kunnafeh (Cheesey, syrupy, crispy goodness on a dish). I waited in line for 45 minutes to get it. You get a choice of large or small serving which is basically half or full dinner dish serving. Since everyone in line was getting the large I ordered it too. It was one of the best things I have ever tasted (if you're into the salty and sweet combination). I could only eat half so I returned the following night to have it again except in the half serving. A lot of places are hit or miss but this place was a hit every time.

So the restaurant name means" Grandma's House". It was the grandma's house of the current restaurant owner. So she wanted to revive the place and teach people how to cook like her grandma used to do. I have tried this with some friends and business associates from different backgrounds and cooking experience. They walk with you step by step and they are very friendly with their guests. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Jordan whether friends, couples, families. It is a fun place

This is low profile restaurant in Weibdeh, near Abu Mahjoub.I went there for breakfast. Indoors and outdoors seating available, we sat outside. I would say biggest added value of the place is its cosy seating area and friendliness of staff.Medium sized menu with many things to choose from. We tried the Tabbouleh, good but a bit on the small size and can use more parsley and less bulgar wheat. The fresh spicy mango dish was unique and refreshing. The local sausages were tasty and the Manakeesh were excellent. We had the white cheese one and the spinach cheese one, both baked very nicely and generously topped/stuffed.The water jugs infused with lemon and mint are a nice touch, until you realize they charge you for them!Good overall breakfast experience! Recommended!

Reviewed By LaTigre74

One of the best Lebanese restaurant out there. They have great appetiser, salad, main dish, and nice selection of drink, including traditional Lebanese drinks, and Shisha, not so much on dessert choices though. Their lamb dishes are super, tasteful without the strong smell of lamb itself. Everything we ordered were good, but the sea bass dish was heavenly. The restaurant's atmosphere and setting is also nice and pleasant. We stayed at the InterContinental for 3 nights, didn't go to Bourj Al Haman until the last night. Should had gone there from the very first day.Dear LaTigre74Hello from Bourj Al Hamam and thank you so much for your great detailed review and the recommendation. Glad to know you enjoyed your experience with us especially the food and service. Please visit us back again anytime and enjoy our delicious food choices at Intercontinental.Best Regards,Sharif W.
