We stopped here for a quick buffet lunch on our way to Mount Nebo. It was recommended in our guide. Wouldnât say this was the best lunch we had in Jordan...not even close... but there was variety and choice so that was nice. And to be honest, there is hardly anything else in the area to choose from! The buffet costs 10JOD or 12⬠per person.

We just loved the food here. The restaurant host/owner was wonderful and went through the menu with us and helped us make our choices. First we were brought olives, and pita which we dipped in olive oil and zataar. We loved the tender chicken sabieh and the moist chicken kebab. The views were spectacular and the atmosphere relaxing. Service was excellent. We would definitely go back.

This family restaurant in an old home in Madaba is the best Jordanian food we have eaten in the country. The mezze were fresh, different and delicious. Every dish is homemade and authentic. We wish we could eat every meal here. Worth a journey.

Interesting venue but the underground level of the cave - the main reason we decided to go - was not available for seating when we visited. Food is a bit overpriced and nothing special. Taxes and 10% service charge are excluded from menu prices. Service leaves something to be desired.

We were recommended this restaurant by our hotel and were initially a little hesitant as thought it was only kebabs. How wrong we were. They have delicious Mezze and cold local beers. We had baba ganoush, hommous with lamb, cheese pastries, bread and 4 local beers (3.50 each) and it came to 25 jod. Three appetisers was more than enough for two for a meal and would be about 12 jod. The owner was super nice and friendly. We enjoyed it so much we came back the same day to have more - the chicken was so tasty and tender!

We visited on a Friday night, the manager took us on a tour around the two floored restaurant with a terrace , a private room and an outdoor seating area. The manager and service were professional (although they could have been more attentive and faster since the place was relatively empty). The appetizers were very tasty and rich. The Kofta tahini was the best I have ever had: fresh local lamp cooked to perfection. Same applies to the ribs and arayes. Bathrooms were clean and the place was nicely decorated.

I love going to this restaurant because you're eating outdoors without realizing it. It's a beautifully curated courtyard. The staff is helpful and friendly and the food is amazing. One of the best restaurants in Madaba.

We had 2 appetizers: the halloumi and the local sausages. The halloumi was served in a sizzling iron pan topped with chopped tomatoes and olives. It was delicious and a well balanced appetizer with the rubbery squeeginess of the salty halloumi mixing well with the sweetness of the tomatoes. The local sausages were wolfed down by my children in seconds! The sausages were deliciously peppery contrasted with the tangy lemon garlic sauce. For mains we had the meat saljiah which was sublime! Tender spiced minced lamb cooked in this delectable tomato-onion gravy. The burst of flavor in the mouth had us fighting to get the last bite. Last but not least was the maftool pottery which was a stew of cous cous, chicken, onions and chickpeas. Absolute comfort food and reminded me of home cooking. We truly recommend this place although it is pricey.
