I spotted the place going downtown Amman using the staircase next to the entrance door last June late in the evening. I promised myself to come back for lunch in the following days. I did so during a hot midday. Crossing the door I was welcome by a white dinning room furnished with old tables, chairs and sofas that created a cozy family feeling. Cuttlery was colorful spicing tastfully the white room. The interior temperature was cool and on the wall against our table a tv screen was playing arabic modern music clips! Then I met Mrs. Lolita who served the day menu providing information about every dish on the table. Although I am familiarized to the arabic cousine, every dish I tryied was so delicious that I could hardly resist not finishing it all. Starter dishes were my delight! Main dish portion was more than enough and I couldn't eat it all. I must say that Mrs. Lolita is a great story teller providing insight to her family story and not only how this family bussines started but also about the way she runs it. I suggest you to pay a visit at this place if you are in Amman. Decent genuine arabic dishes in a relaxed family ambience paired with polite and nice service. It is a place I will tresure and visit whenever I will be in Amman from now on.

This is a great little spot that isn't overrun by budget tourists. There is no menu. You are seated when you arrive and you will be presented with plenty of traditional home-cooked Arabic food that is scrumptious and hearty. As part of the overall experience, you will also be provided with free mint tea and a selection of traditional desserts. The cost for us was 15 JD per person.

Beautiful little family restaurant. The owner was very friendly. The restaurant serves a variety of starters and two main dishes( different dishes every day) vegetarian and meat based. Food was amazing,truly. Word of caution, go there only when hungry as the portions are quite big. I paid 18 JD a set of 6 starters, main dish, tea and water.

Cannot say enough great things about Najila's Kitchen. Our group of five dropped by unexpectedly and we were welcomed with open arms! The perfect experience for a group unsure of what to order, the diverse spread and family style service brought our group closer while absolutely filling our bellies. On top of the amazing food the history within the walls was breathtaking. Stunning to see the family heritage continuing the long standing recipes carried forward.

We went to Najla's for lunch one afternoon and were greeted warmly by the family who run the restaurant. The decor also set a nice ambience to our visit but we were the only ones there.In terms of the food, the mixed starters we were given were great (a mix of aubergine, potatoes, hummus and more) but unfortunately the main dish was not great and was warmed up in a microwave. All in all, we paid about 17JD each which felt a bit expensive for the quality of the food we got.

Food was super delicious. They bring out a lot of different food options and well worth the price. They prepare the food in front of you which was a nice touch. Great customer service

Very tasty well balanced spices & very authentic Laventine food. Home made by home cooks. Excellent for those wanting to try what families cook at home for their loved ones in Jordan. A wide variety of Mezza & main dishes that are well made

Found this place on Google after searching for vegan friendly places in Amman, and boy was I in for a surprise. Upon entering, you feel like you’re sitting in someone’s courtyard, and the restaurant is decorated with antiques and memorabilia that belonged to the grandma after which the restaurant is named. The women who work there are so warm and welcoming, and went out of their way to make us feel like we have just gone up to our village and sat to dine with family. There’s no menu for you to choose from, but instead they will serve you whatever that have cooked / prepared for that day. Just let them know in advance if you have any dietary requirements so they can consider that when preparing the plates for your table. I visited with my brother, and the appetizer messes that were served were delicious, cooked with love, and the ingredients are of the finest quality. The food is simple, but great when it comes to taste, the tomatoes are just ripe, the courgette was sweet and light, the sumac was freshly ground, and the hummus just came straight from heaven. The main course was then Loobieh (Green Beans) cooked in a meat stew with rice served on the side, and then we finished off everything with cake and tea. I can’t recommend this place enough, it made me feel like I was home when I was visiting a different country. It’s a must do for anyones culinary adventures / agenda in Amman.

A wonderful place. Food is home made and the owner/host is a great and very welcoming person. It’s ebbs a bit on the pricy side but it is definitely worth it! This place is ideal for groups of 4 people and more, particularly that the portions are massive and sharing is a must!

We found it by accident. Lucky us! Delicious food. Very good starters and main dish. And dessert was superb!

It is a beautiful place with good home-cooked local food.

Nice place, Great Team, Delicious Food; Nice Sittig place; Works from 12 pm to 6 pm except Sundays. They have Two Varieties per day on random basis; of Mediterranean Cusine.

I loved this place. Great food (best baba ghanoush, ever), great ambience, great story ❤

Nice place, but expensive

A beautiful interior and delicious home cooking. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Today we had chicken maqlube and it was just too good. The best i have had in Amman. Would recommend it to all. 👌👌

The best lunch place in Amman! Located in a very peaceful neighbourhood, real homemade lunch based on a fixed menu. The family running the restaurant is cooking handmade, authentic and healthy plates, all members are very warm and welcoming...we felt like at my Grandma's home. Be sure you'll have your belly full after this wonderful lunch and dessert. We can't wait to be back in Amman to visit the restaurant.

A home away from home. A wonderful traditional meal with warm hospitality from their hostess Lolita. I would recommend to everyone and can’t wait to return.

It's amazing restaurant they serve only one Plate Every day And its always delicious ...

Absolutely delicious food in a lovely little restaurant with friendly services.

This place is amazing. No menu. The chefs who own the restaurant basically cook a daily meal that is served. They allow for large group reservations and you can request a certain type of meal. Totally worth a try if you are in Amman.

Very good food, homemade, home style ambiance with the place looking like an apartment. No choice menu, it is fixed for a fixed price of 15JOD, the food is very good !
