I really loved the food there. I dined alone and had fattoush, hummus and Kubbeh. It was flavourful, fresh and tasty. The restaurant is comfortable, clean and quiet. Too bad the service was so bad. I didn't enjoy the waiters not making me feel welcome, no eye contact, and long wait to get service/get the bill/pay. They felt all over the place although we were just 3 tables in the restaurant.

Beautiful setting in open terrace amidst gigantic oleander and palm trees. Really lovely ambience. Food is nice and service is ok - both loads better if you come with a local, else it's what you would expect for loads of tourists who come in from the famous (but charmless) Rainbow Street outside. The lemon&mint drink was the best. Lovely nuts with the dishes.

Sufra This is a good choice if you are looking for a genuine place and a traditional selection of Jordanian dishes. One of the few restaurants where you will find the type of food usually made and served at typical Jordanian houses. This makes it an ideal place if you have foreign guests who ask to try local dishes. If you are going there on a summer night then make sure to reserve a table before you go and ask to be seated in the outdoor area. Nice ambience and a comfortable and reasonably spacious seating area. The staff is friendly and the service is prompt and you can ask for advice from the waiters on what and how many dishes to order. The food is light and rightly portioned so you will most probably have no or very little leftovers. If you wish to go for a light and tasty dessert then pick the pistachio ice cream. The place is easily accessed and has valet service. Expect to pay 25 JD per person.

It’s my first time here and am very happy about it. I came here with big group of family and friends. We had a big selection of starters and main courses. Service was great despite our large number, usually restaurants get overwhelmed with big numbers but they were very comfortable with that. They were very welcoming and helped us choose great dishes. The place is very cozy and home like decorated. It’s very clean as well. I highly recommend this place to everyone. It’s also kids friendly.

This place is incredibly beautiful. We were impressed with how many delicious vegetarian items there were to eat and we definitely found some favourites. We hadn't tried Fatté before and the one with the aubergine and the yogurt was such an incredible dish. It's almost a little like nachos, but the aubergine are cooked in such a way that will blow your mind. Wow, that was definitely a favorite dish. We also really enjoyed the homemade bread that came with the meal. The hummus and spiced potatoes were also very delicious and we would get them again. Overall a wonderful place with very attentive wait staff and a beautiful view.

Tourists bait restaurant. High prices for low quality. Great atmosphere and vibes but the food quality and service were mid. If you want authentic food it’s not the place to go. Wouldn’t recommend the mansaf if you don’t like the taste of unclean meat. Do not try it. Don’t. The hygiene of the place is also mid. In the summer it can be hot so be aware of that before going in for lunch. The restaurant has a lot of celebrity visits so that explains why it’s also a tourist attraction which we didn’t know of beforehand.

Okay food for the hype this restaurant receives. I certainly expected much better food but perhaps we just didn't order the "right" ones? We ordered lamb spleen and baked cheese for the appetizer and mansaf (food of the day) and lamb stuffed intestines for the entree. All food had excellent seasoning and the amount and variety of spices really brought out the flavor of the food. However, the lamb in mansaf was little dry and the lamb stuffed intestines had only rice and no lamb in the stuffing. I tried both of these food later on in another place and they were much better there. So the reason this place gets 4 stars instead of 3 is because the service was excellent, ambiance and the decor was stunning. We didn't see any locals here, only tourists.

Jordanian cuisine restaurant. Located in rainbow Street which you must visit when you’re in Amman. A big variety of mezeh selections. I really loved the old style decorations too. Well trained Friendly staff. Limited option of main dishes.

Sufra for me is a nice intro to Amman. I may be geared towards the tourists as the prices are a bit more towards the higher end. The food was great, staff was lovely and the ambiance was beautiful. It had all the local dishes such as mansaf and the bread was made fresh on premise. I even got to takeaway my leftovers to eat the next day and they were kind enough to give me fresh bread.

We had the pleasure of visiting this Jordanian restaurant twice last week. Elegant, leafy courtyard on the outside, beautifully decorated space on the inside. The first night was a Saturday, and there was a lively crowd. The first waiter found us a seat in the courtyard, and then a second waiter saw us and told us we needed to limit our stay to an hour because they were busy. The food was incredible. Not a bad dish. Perfect hummus with aubergine, chicken livers, chicken with sumac. Our waiter was pleasant and attentive, and made us feel welcome. Because we weren’t familiar with Jordanian food. The red wine was a bit coarse, heavy in tannins and not the best compliment to our food. Still drinkable. We enjoyed the experience, and didn’t mind that it was more expensive than the average Amman restaurant. We came back two nights later. The second waiter (who limited our time to an hour) hosted us, but insisted we sit alone, indoors, near the bread oven, on a hot day, and not on the terrace because there were no seats. (There seemed to be seats). We reviewed the menu, and were impressed that it had changed, implying the ingredients were fresh and the chef thoughtful. We asked for recommendations, and the waiter seemed taken aback, then gave us some food ideas. The trouble really began when we asked for a white wine suggestion. He named a Jordanian wine, and I agreed. He brought out a bottle, and the wine was red. We told him we asked for a white wine. He became visibly annoyed, and carried it off in a huff. Twenty minutes pass without food. He brings out Chardonnay, and pours it, apologizing. We rarely see him for the rest of our evening. He’s schmoozing well heeled locals. He ignores us when we wave for him. Food still delicious. I’d heard the knaffeh was great, so after much effort, we get his attention. I order the pastry. It doesn’t come for 35 minutes, and only when we ask for the bill. Altogether killed the mood of the evening. I was shocked by the difference in service over the two nights. Maybe he was having a bad night. Maybe the wine mistake embarrassed or angered him. I’m heavily tattooed, so perhaps he thought I wasn’t classy enough for his regulars. Whatever it was, the burden of having to figure out what drove his decision to give unkind service should not have been ours to carry. It was not consistent with the overall warm treatment I received from every other Jordanian met during our vacation. Perhaps the time limit he gave when he wasn’t serving us the first night was foreshadowing. Can I recommend this place? Perhaps, but your service may depend on your luck. We won’t get back to Jordan soon, but I wish this restaurant and both waiters well, and hope the restaurant works out their problems.

We arrived before they were busy for the evening and were lucky enough to be seated without a reservation. I would recommend a reservation though. The food was delicious. We ordered several smaller dishes to share, including a couple of desserts and we were not disappointed. They have a beautiful outdoor seating area with a fountain, perfect for cool nights. They have a good wine selection and a menu that's perfect for one person or a group. The staff was attentive, friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. This restaurant is a must if you are in Jordan for any amount of time.

A little gem in Amman. Excellent service, great atmosphere and really lovely food. The decor is understated yet classic. I also loved all their serving dishes, plates etc. Their mint lemonade was a winner as was their mansaf. I would definitely go back here if I was in Amman again.

While the atmosphere of this establishment was enjoyable, especially the fantastic outdoor seating, I found the quality of the food to be lacking and the pricing to be on the higher side. Additionally, the service didn't meet my expectations in terms of friendliness or attentiveness.

Staff was very helpful and polite. Unfortunately we haven't liked the lamb done this way, it could be only personal opinion. Hummus with walnut is great, ice cream with sugar wool was complimentary since we didn't eat the lamb, and if I come back I will order the same desert. Worth a visit!

One of my favourite places in Amman - visited twice on our trip. Excellent upscale traditional Jordanian food in a fantastic house. They have a bread oven in the restaurant. Try the olives that come on the table. Cannot recommend it enough!

Service is really good the waiters are attentive and quick and they very nice and smiley to customers! The atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful if you are sitting in the garden the greens and lightning are making it better! However, next to our table, they put too many argeeleh, and every time a waiter comes to get or fix one for customers, it's annoying and disturbing, so they either remove them from there or remove the table!! So make sure you are not seated in that table in the corner next to the argeelehs! It was my first visit to the restaurant, we ordered some shared plates the salad was nice however needed some salt and lest lemon (and I'm someone who really loves lemon!) The fattetet bitenjan was perfect, ylanji was good, the olive they put on every table was delicious, the kubbeh was very good , the fukharet lahmeh was not good at all! The meat was dry and chewy, and the potatoes were burnt and too many onions! The desserts were okay. I prefer different kinds of desserts but still good.

If I could give it 6 or 7 stars I would. Everything I tried was fantastic, all the meats were amazingly tender and perfectly flavoured and the mansaf was pretty much the best I've ever had. Good decor and professional service. Highly recommend

Love mansaf from this restaurant. Very nice hummus also. And lovely staff. 🍽

Easy reservation and excellent ambiance. Food is not fantastic but it is good. Very friendly customer service. Price can be at the higher end but definitely worth the money. Overall a good experience.

Food was absolutely delicious and left us great impression and satisfaction . Serving sizes were very generous. The service was a little intermittent though out, with no English speaking servers although it was not enough to detract from the food. Would definitely worthwhile for Jordanian cuisine experience....

Absolutely stunning restaurant. Loved the decor and garden, with beautiful vines growing everywhere. The menu is big and has plenty of options. We had to try a bit of it all but couldn't sadly then finish our main (many should of shared that one). Our special was the modt succulent lamb cooked in yoghurt and decorated with toasted nuts. Literally fell apart on touching. Been craving ever since. Yum yum! Lovely staff and wonderful settings. Recommended and will deffo be coming again.

Amazing breakfast on Fri and Sat, all fresh and traditional Jordanian food, in a quaint renovated old villa in a heritage area. So worth it. Amazing service too. Update: visited again today for lunch, had their amazing Mansaf, perfect salt and sour taste combination, just as it should be. The staff were very friendly, helpful and generous! Had a great time, and of course enjoyed their famous green olives that can stand as a meal on their own. Price is on the expensive side, though Good value for money and totally worth it! Tender and succulent meat too, doubt anywhere else can measure up.

Good but Pricey. Then again, this whole country is pricey. So I guess it's good 😏👍🏼

This is my favorite restaurant in Amman. I go there every time I visit, I love the ambience, the decor, the beautiful greenery and the feel of a old villa combined with the fantastic quality food! I love their fatet jaaj, mansaf and their salads- and all their desserts are delicious! Can’t recommended enough :)

Food is not bad but at the same time nothing special. Compared to middle eastern food in the United States it is good but I expected much more considering the price I am paying for the food. I was told it was a more famous restaurant but if I come back to Jordan I probably would opt to try some other restaurants.

I've been in Amman for 10 days now and tried many different places to eat. Sufra is the best so far Ive been to. I also love lentil soup and try it everywhere. Here soup wins over all others. The garden is just amazing. And the Lebanese style interior. And everything i ate was mumtaz. Highly recommend. The only thing, they need to update schedule here. They don't open at 12. But at 1pm. I came and had to wait.

I am Sorry, I forgot to take photos, but I want to say if you are in Amman, you MUST stop by here.. The staff is amiable; they all speak English and give their kind suggestions. The only thing they should add some photos on their menu other than that I give 6 out of 5 :))

The decor and the food of this place is outstanding. This place lives up to the hype in every possible way. The decor of this place is outstanding and on entrance you can see pictures of who's who have visited this place. The food is also very good and service very prompt.

Wonderful local food and exotic interior decorations. Good to see many celebrities came here as well.

beautiful renovated space formerly inhabited by a family in the 1800's located in one of amman's oldest neighborhoods. the food is wonderful as well, but be sure to phone in and request the day's menu as it changes every day. the restaurant is especially pleasant in the springtime during which youll be seated out in the garden while the trees are in full bloom. you'll absolutely love it there!

Fancy restaurant white a posh and cool atmosphere. The food is good and they serve very good portions. But nothing super outstanding considering the prices. Nevertheless it is a good option for a social day or celebration.

Very lovely place. My friend found this restaurant before our trip to Jordan but we thought that’s it a bit far away from us, however we found this restaurant during our walk and we went inside to check the place. Stuff is very friendly and welcoming, the restaurant itself beautiful with a lovely terrace. So we went to explore the city and we came back for dinner. We got a good table on the terrace. Food was good, also they serve alcohol. I will definitely recommend this restaurant.

One of the best restaurants in Jordan when it comes to Jordanian premium quality food. The atmosphere is as authentic as it gets starting with the look and feel of the restoration to the dress code of the the staff members. Sufra is famous for some of the most delicious Jordanian dishes, the sajyieh, fukuarat and the traditional aubergine salad to name a few. It perfectly portrays our authentic and original heritage in all aspects

Really cute restaurant located in a villa, with lots of light on the veranda and green surroundings. We enjoyed all mezze much, everything was so fresh! International crowd, relaxed atmosphere. I only think that staff could be more friendly and engaged. I recommend it anyway ;)

The best food in town! Great service, beautiful place! Love it! Cant wait to be back there!

Very authentic and tasty. The meat Zarab Fokkhara and hummus Sufra are delicious

If you looking for a traditional food

The food was great - lentil soup was okay - very much soup I’m used to having the lentil in the soup but it’s all blended together so it’s more like broth. The other dishes were good and so was the hummus and ice cream. The service should be better you have to repeatedly ask for help as they don’t check on you while you’re dinning or refill water, it was a bit annoying.

Restaurant with a magical atmosphere. You seem to forget that you are in the heart of Amman’s city buzz when you eat here. Additionally, the food and service quality was impeccable. Highly recommend!

Best Restaurant in amman for an authentic Jordanian / leventine experience .. amazing atmosphere and service as well!! Highly recommend

One of the most beautiful restaurants you will ever done at. The staff are superb! The food is incredible! The falafel was crunchy and soft the hummus decadent, and the lamb excellent

A lovely traditional restaurant with a magical garden. If you want to dine in the garden terrace, you'll need to book it in advance (which I recommend), otherwise you'll get seated inside, with a basic athmosphere. The staff is very friendly and hospitable, food is delicious, but the portions are smaller than at other restaurants. It was a pleasant experience. The only thing I suggest to the staff: Please put photos of meals in the menu, it is hard for foreigners who are unfamiliar with Jordanian cuisine to pick a meal based only on the meal name (which mostly consists of transcribed arabic). We encountered no-photo-menus everywhere across Jordan, which is a big minus for a tourism oriented country.

Expensive

Expensive than other restaurants in Amman but really worth it. The Chef are very good. It was delicious, the place is beautiful and the service is great. You even can see how they make the bread.

Good food

They serve Jordanian Palestinian cuisine , food is very good and fresh , the atmosphere is authentic , outdoor courtyard shows the old Ammani houses . Prices are good .

Very beautiful and antique place Food is amazingly tasty Staff are nice Prices are above average

We were lucky to get a table at the very last minute without any reservations. The dish of the day was Jordan’s national dish, the Mansaf (which was a comfort dish especially during winter), eggplant, grilled cheese and soup with lentils. We loved the atmosphere and architecture, and highly recommend since the restaurant has been awarded MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants 2022, and the food was delicious and continues to be value-for-money.

Very beautiful place , warm garden, delicious food and friendly employees

My Sufra experience? Well, the food was just okay, but the service was top-notch. Now, here's the fun part: a bunch of sly cats tried to gatecrash our meal, but the staff had a nifty trick with a water spray to keep them at bay. I kind of wanted to share my meal with the feline squad. The outdoor atmosphere was great, but, alas, you can't really escape the smokers in Jordan – they seem to pop up everywhere.

Very nice place .. love the interior design and the settings .. the food is amazing .. plenty to chose from seasonal dishes made with fresh ingredients the authentic way . Sufra is perfect for a special occasion with loved ones or a casual meal with friends. I personally like it during the day but it is also very nice at night . Sufra offers high quality meals .. with that comes a high price to pay . However, the value is very good . I recommend this place to everyone .. especially those who love the authentic local taste . My choice 💋👌🏼

One of the best places for traditional food at the Rainbow street. Everything we have ordered was very tasty, the environment is also very nice, as well as the service.

Nice atmosphere yummy food and very good service

Had a lovely dinner with friends. The food was very good and it was a nice atmosphere and vibes. The staff was attentive and we had a great afternoon out. For being in the middle of a busy city, the restaurant is quiet and feels like your are in the countryside.

Very good food, service; however a bit overpriced.

This place is a good recommendation for place a fansy places to enjoy tasty food, it's very clean and the staff is well trained and super kind and polite.. I tried there for the first time Rashof (traditional Jordanian soup with jameed) it taste amazing.. Really I did enjoy every piece of it. The food wasreally good cooked and tastes delicious... However I didn't like their kebbeh labaniyeh. But that's due to my personal taste and preferences. In general the atmosphere is very nice and joyful specially in the outside setting.

I give 5stars to this place.The taste , decoration , service , cleanliness and location ,everything was just perfect. Recommend!

The atmosphere is absolutely lovely, everything's spick and span, and the service is top-notch. My only gripe would be that the food is seriously extremely overpriced.

Loved the ambiance and atmosphere. Tucked away in a corner in rainbow street. Great food, amazing desserts and vegetable plate option for vegans (considering other traditional restaurants don’t even have that option)

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, and hospitable service. Our dish of the day was Musakhan, which was exquisite as expected. I also recommended the Batata Harra, Sheikh El Mahshi, and Eggplant salad. Aish Elsaraya is definitely a must!

The food was delicious! The staff was very friendly and helpful and the restaurant looked beautiful. Highly recommended!

Elevated Jordanian dishes at a reasonable price, nice outdoor setting, wonderful service, and some nice Jordanian wines available too. Chicken livers and homemade sausage were excellent

(Translated by Google) Whoever fed what I ate in my life, Mansaf Kharafi, Hummus with Makdous Kharafi, Kofta with Fairy Tahini, everything has delicious, and the service is good (Original) من أطعم ما أكلت في حياتي، المنسف خرافي، الحمص بالمقدوس خرافي، الكفته بالطحينة خرافية، كل شي عنده لذيذ، والخدمة كويسة

Delicious food no dought, beautiful place with nice decorations but it was over rated, difficult to reach for tourist from out side Jordan. And very expensive The worst thing they did which was so not professional is that my bill for only 2 main dishes was 45.2 dinars and i gave the waiter 50 he gave me back 3 dinars instead of 4.8 because they take 1 dinar for charity without asking for my permission and they didn't gave back the small change 0.8 !! Which is thing they should not do

Can't say anything bad about this place - everything we ordered tasted great, the atmosphere was awesome and the price was very reasonable for what we got (main dish, appetizer, water, ice tea, desserts for ~55jd/2pax). Would definitely visit again and recommend. Might be worth getting a reservetion ahead as place was full when we went there.

(Translated by Google) Nice and cozy place that offers typical Jordanian dishes, the mansaf was very good (Original) Local bonito y acogedor que ofrece platos típicos jordanos, el mansaf estaba muy bueno

Very nice authentic Jordanian atmosphere and hospitality. Food is unbelievably delicious specially the mezza

(Translated by Google) Excellent address. In all the guides therefore very frequented by tourists. The food is excellent and tasty. A real Jordanian treat. However, the service leaves something to be desired. Listed as a trendy place, the servers have the same faults as their colleagues around the world, cold, unhealthy and indifferent. Pity (Original) Excellente adresse. Dans tous les guides donc très fréquenté par les touristes. La cuisine y est excellente et savoureuse. Un vrai régal jordanien. Par contre, le service laisse à désirer. Référencé comme lieu branché, les serveurs ont les mêmes défauts que leurs collègues dans le monde entier, froid, peu chaleureux et indifférents. Dommage

The food was delicious and the service was on point.

The food was really delicious, my only complaint was setting on the coach wasn’t convenient for me ( it’s an old coach and needed to be replaced and also the coach was not high enough to the table when eating. and I asked to change my place but all other places were reserved.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, eating bytes is not well cooked, but the location and location are sweet (Original) للاسف الأكل بايت وغير مطبوخ جيداً بس الموقع والمكان حلو

The best place to try the local food , the restaurant feels very cozy and well maintained! The staff are lovely and very quick with their service ,All in all one of the best restaurants visited in Amman

One of the most premium restaurants in Amman

👏👏👏

Excellent restaurant, excellent food taste and quality,kind staff

Only for tourist. Overrated. Incredibly expensive.

You can find far better mansaf for far lower price in downtown. This place seemed just a tourist place.

I've been to Sufra two times, two years apart, both in February with my family during their visit to Jordan. I'm happy to say that both times the food and service has been very good. Usually you see some deterioration in quality over the years but this was not the case. The food was very good, I don't know much about Arabic food but it felt homey, natural, and "authentic" (again I'm no expert but the food felt "real"). The mezze portions are small, which makes sense since the idea is to order a variety of them and mix and share. But the main dishes were so generous, both times we had to order the leftovers for takeaway! The bread is freshly made and they'll bring you bread for as long as you want it. It's quite filling tho, not a flimsy bread. And they have the most delicious Arabic flavored ice cream (pistachio and roses and stuff) with halawa on top! The only thing I didn't like was the soujouk, it was too crispy (toasted) and oily. I dunno if that's how it's supposed to be so I'm letting it pass, just not ordering again. My favorite dishes were the eggplant fatteh and the lamb with onions in a thick tasty gravy! They are not cheap because Arabic food tends to be not expensive here, logically. But the quality and ambiance and service are worth the price if it's for an occasional treat-yourself dining experience!

Sufra has a beautiful outdoor dining area, the service has a strong attention to detail and the food is delicious. It’s the only place in Amman that I will eat the Fatteh Betinjan!

(Translated by Google) God willing, we will try it (Original) إن شاء الله نجربه

This place has amazing food. Probably the best hummus I've had in Jordan. I highly recommend this place. Their outside seating is nice, it has a great atmosphere. They do hookah and the service was good. Great restaurant for local food.

Such a great restaurant! The seating is very comfortable, and the food is absolutely delicious!! Recently went specifically for the Fawaregh! It’s a very local dish and it may seem uninviting as an idea, since it’s basically made from the inner organs of a lamb and it’s stuffed, but it’s basically a form of sausage and it’s absolutely amazing! Definitely would always recommend it to anyone who wants to eat Levantine cuisine in Amman!

Nice crispy lamb chitterlings (fawaregh ma'anyeh)

The foods was amazing....!!! And the restaurant is beautiful old house 😍

I had this restaurant on my list already before my arrival to Jordan. It definitely wasn’t a bad experience but I can’t say it fulfilled my expectations. Kind of pricey, “posh” atmosphere and when we came my plate was dirty. The waiter didn’t speak English very well - we hardly understood each other. On the positive note they prepared vegetarian main dish for me even though it wasn’t on the menu and their Sufra hummus is to die for. I wouldn’t go again but maybe we were just unlucky.

Delicious meals and great service

Nice place. I recommend the chicken with potato in a pot it was excellent. It usually requires a prior reservation and the vibe is a bit snobby. The interior is so pretty and authentic to the levant region similar to lebanese restaurants. We set outside and it was also very nice.

The worst experience ever.

One of the best places in Amman to have authentic Arabic food and also Mansaf. The national dish of Jordan. Excellent food quality and excellent service. Thank you so much

Lovely atmosphere excellent food

Authentic Jordanian food, with very beautiful atmosphere. The entrance looks like a house entrance and they have indoor and outdoor dining area. I order Mansaf, the best i had in my life. Must visit if you are in the area.

Good place which nearby the Rainbow street. You should sit outdoor at night to enjoy the dinner. Their dessert and dish is good

The food is amazing. The service is great as well!

Loved this restaurant! Great home cooked style dishes! Very fresh, excellent flavours. The atmosphere was very good and the service was excellent. Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend for authentic Middle Eastern food

Best taste of kunnafa..
