    Major throwback restaurant! Good thing is the food is still tasty, the only thing missing in all the dishes is salt. Dynamite shrimp had zero spices, the menu said they’re spicy but they in fact weren’t at all. I wish the Philly cheese steak sandwich was juicier and had more spices, meat shawerma was good, chicken fajita was very oily and some chicken pieces weren’t fully cooked. But their service was great and the prices were very reasonable during happy hour.

    An old favorite restaurant, it was a nice surprise I found out that it’s still open. The place has nice vintage vibes with indoor and outdoor seating areas. Food taste and presentation was great, and prices are very reasonable. Staff was welcoming and service was fast. If you come as a group, there are many dishes to share, so everybody can enjoy the many dishes they have.

    I recently placed an order, and I must say, it was a complete disappointment. The food arrived cold and emitted a strong, unpleasant odor, which immediately put me off. Not only was the food not prepared as per my specifications, but it seemed like it had been sitting around for quite some time before being packed. The flavors were dull and lacked any freshness. It was evident that no care or attention was given to the quality of the meal. To make matters worse, the portion size was significantly smaller than what was advertised. I felt cheated and unsatisfied after spending my hard-earned money on such a subpar meal. The presentation was also sloppy, with sauces leaking and the packaging in disarray. When I contacted the restaurant to express my disappointment, their response was dismissive and unapologetic. They showed no concern for their customers' satisfaction, which further added to my frustration. Based on my experience, I can not recommend ordering from it. The cold, smelly food, coupled with poor customer service, leaves much to be desired. I suggest looking for alternative options that prioritize quality and customer satisfaction. Note: However, I must address the false statement you made regarding a refund. To clarify, I have not received any attempts from your restaurant to rectify the situation or offer a refund. It is disheartening to see that instead of acknowledging the valid concerns raised in my review, you have chosen to provide a misleading response. Honesty and transparency are crucial when addressing customer feedback, and I hope you will reconsider your approach in the future.

    A nice place to visit. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Beers were inexpensive as it was happy hour. Ordered fillet of beef with a mushroom sauce. It (they) were cooked perfectly and very tasty and juicy. Served with fries, carrots, courgette and broccoli, again well cooked. My only issue, perhaps surprisingly, was the quantity. There were three steaks, which was definitely enough for at least two people. Good value or a waste?

    Exactly what we needed after a trip! We have had a lot of Jordanian cuisine since we’ve been here. And it was nice to have a taste of home to get our digestion back on track before a long flight! Food is great, staff are friendly. We had the burger and grilled chicken sandwich. Recommend both.

    Excellent bar with food - very welcome after a long day walking around Amman tourist spots. Decent prices (happy hour 12-6) and beer / nachos were good. Had Mothers and daughters there so a family feel.

    The place is a great place to go if you make it on their happy hour (12 to 6 pm), prices are very reasonable at these times, quality of the food is very good, and the service is amazing. Parking is not available most of the time as its located in a crowded area.

    Extremely Poor Food and Unacceptable Customer Service I regret to inform you that my recent food order from your restaurant was a complete disaster, both in terms of the quality of the food and the deplorable customer service. I am deeply disappointed and left with a negative impression of your establishment. The food I received was of an extremely poor quality. The taste was bland, and it was evident that little effort had been put into the preparation. Moreover, the presentation was unappealing, and some dishes even arrived cold and partially undercooked. It was a thoroughly unpleasant experience that left me questioning the standards of your kitchen. What was even worse than the subpar food was the customer service I encountered. The staff members I interacted with were rude, dismissive, and unhelpful. When I called to express my dissatisfaction with the order, I was met with a complete lack of empathy and understanding. Instead of attempting to rectify the situation or offer a solution, the representative I spoke to showed a complete disregard for my concerns. Such unprofessional behavior is inexcusable and reflects poorly on your establishment. As a paying customer, I expected a certain level of quality and service, which I did not receive. This experience has left me with a negative impression of your restaurant, and I am inclined to share my disappointment with others. I hope that you take this feedback seriously and make the necessary improvements to avoid similar situations in the future.

    Staff need more education to know how to deal with customers .they have no idea how to deal with customer .i had bad experience with this restaurant and I don't recommend this restaurant for people to go there. I give this restaurant 0 star . The issue not the happy hour menu the issue is the treatment of customers ,this is the issue,🤔

    The location is really nice and highly recommended for anyone staying at the Kempinski Amman as it’s literally 1 min walking distance. The atmosphere is cozy, service is good, and prices are really reasonable for the quality and portion of the food served.

  • 4/5 Ahmad Samer A. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite places in Amman. They have very good burgers, excellent steaks and different kinds of platters. I would also recommend grilled fish, shrimp/chicken fajita and shrimp/chicken penne pasta. P.s. look for the happy hours, the prices are way more convenient during it :)

  • 3/5 Dana N. 2 years ago on Google
    In my last visit, there was some confusion regarding the seating, they assigned us a table then changed their minds twice. Which wasn't very nice since it was a while. But I have to say that the waiter was very nice, profesional and helpful. Which made our experience a good one after all. The food is good and the outside seating area is lovely.

  • 5/5 Rasha L. 2 years ago on Google
    This has to be our favorite restaurant in Amman. As a family we like to have lunch there regularly and I have not tried it in the evening. We have some favorite food items, which we never deviate from like their yummylicious taco salad, sliders, grilled sea bass and chicken tenders. I hope to try other dishes but so far we are sort of stuck on our favorite ones 😊

  • 4/5 Sandrat61 1 year ago on Google
    Food was very good, service prompt and our order came quickly. As it was World Cup time it was fairly busy so good atmosphere. My only gripe was that it seems everyone smokes in Jordan so it can get smoky on there. Overall though a decent place to eat and drink.

  • 3/5 George I. 6 months ago on Google
    We went on the happy hour, and we ordered a fried sea food platter with crab salad, the platter was not rich and over cooked and chewy! And the salad is below average, the sauce was nit enough and the carrots and the cucumber slices flavor dominated the whole dish! The service is slow but the waiters are kind and polite. Nothing special in this place.

    Food tasted great, veggies were very fresh. Happy hour discounts from 12pm to 7pm. Only negative is lack of non-smoking area. There were smokers nearby during our two visits.

    Very bad experience, we have been going to Houston’s ever since it opened in Amman m but yesterday marks our last visit to this restaurant. Let me start by telling you the waiter serving us didn’t care about his personal hygiene and was serving us with his hand all dirty with black dirt marks on his hand. Food was tasteless wasn’t the same taste we are used to at Houston.
