Shahrazad - Amman

One of Amman’s finest and best described as Hashem’s meatier twin brother. A proper “no frills” locals spot. No menu, friendly service, plastic table cloths, no plates (just a bread), insanely cheap. Every dish was excellent. from the grilled Chicken Shish and Lamb, to the kofte drowning in Tahini. Make sure to order the spicy Ezme Salad!

A traditional restaurant right in the center of Downtown Amman. It’s comparable with other places in style and service, so you won’t in for a surprise when your table is covered in plastic and there’s no real menu. However, Google Maps has all the options for you along the photos if your Arabic is sub-par, as mine definitely is. We had the tomato köfte and the “arayes” (a kind of lamencun, served pizza-style). Both were outstanding. It’s worth the wait out front, for sure.

If you would like to have delicious meat-based meals, this is the place to go. It is a traditional, family-owned restaurant, opened since the 1960’s at the center of Downtown Amman (Al-Balad). I recommend to try the tomato Kofta, the Tahini Kofta and the Arayes. They were delecious!!! It reminded me of my grandma’s cooking

The place looks like they cut out organs, and especially the locals eat there a sign that you will eat here. The waiter invited us to the kitchen and helped us choose our dishes. Everything was delicious, especially the Kofta with Tahina. Here you can feel the real Jordanian atmosphere!

Very nice restaurant with grilled meat in Jordanian cuisine. The food was very well made with large portions and the service was friendly. The cost of a person's meal is between 3 and 4 JOD, which is very worth it.
