    The seating area is amazingly organized and decorated.. Suitable for pictures and Instagram stories.. But food was not as it used to be.. It was too greasy.. Small portions.. And in general does not compare value of money.. Toilets were very dirty and I was disappointed as i used to love this place.. In general.. I would recommend it for coffee or a drink.. But not for food.

    I usually used to visit this place, but recently I had a disastrous experience during their iftar. - Let's start from the reception, I reserved iftar buffet for 4 peoples, so they know that we are four people and they should reserved a 4-chairs table obviously not 2 chairs therefore we've changed our table two times with many poor excuses. - we're fine, we surpassed the 'table crisis' having a good chat between friends, the garçon arrived to serve the soupe so I've asked him what are the options said there's only one option " Lsan el asfour soupe" - I don't like to have - though they've mentioned that two kinds of soupes will be served. I'll ignore the fact that the soupes were served too early before the adhan. - As expected, buffet line is always busy and crowded, but which not acceptable that some main dishes run-out even before the queue ends. Many of us didn't the chance to choose of the main dishes from the beginning, there were only two options of four available. I thought they will bring more which it never happened. - Comes to the desserts, it's included on the menu but personally I've never met. It's done before even I finished my meal. - When I've gave my feedback, they've answered me that there were too many people who came without reservation/reserved too late. This was like newbie level of treating clients. - To be fair, food quality is good but they aren't too generous with quantity. So I've paid 40jod to have some appetisers. PS. don't delete my comment on your facebook page again Thank you to be patient reading my detailed experience.

    Nice and big place with good food. I think prices are ok. And few things which we tried were good. Super tasty garlic dip. One star less because 10 % serwis added automatically.

    This restaurant was recommended by a hotel host, honestly we felt like it was over rated 👍🏽good decor 👍🏽nice seatings 👍🏽good staff 👎parkings are limited 👎noisy 👎over priced (normally whatever we ordered would cost half what we paid) 👎some of the customers were noisy and considering the other people around them, using their phone on loud speakers and listening to music without headphone To me I would have chosen a cheaper restaurant and more tasty food

    While the food and drink may be a bit overpriced, the food is generally tasty. A large variety of authentic Jordanian food is on the menu. The real reason people come, however, is the unique vibe - the seats are stuffed chairs or loveseats and the tables are made of tree trunks. Likewise, the dishes are carved wood. Live music weekends. No alcohol. Service and taxes are not included in menu prices. If this review was helpful, please click Like!

  • 5/5 Fawwaz A. 8 months ago on Google
    Great idea place for a snack, a local delicacy, or a proper meal. Warm service. Also educational about the Palestinian cause and anti-occupation. You will find some reviews that call the place ‘racist’ but these would be Zionists who are alarmed by being called out for their apartheid regime against Palestinians. Highly recommended in Aqaba, for some culture.

    Great restaurant which was recommended to us by a cook in Wadi Musa, this restaurant is incredibly cosy with great local food and their own cook's AMAZING pita breads. Thanks very much for your warm welcome on both our evenings in Aqaba!

    Really cozy place. We didn't have food, but our drinks (lemon mint) and shisha were really good. Friendly staff. Really recommendable to spend a hot afternoon here in the shadow.

    Very nicely decorated venue, great food, fair prices, and very well located. Portions are generous, especially the deserts. Seafood was delicious!

    Amazing lunch in Aqaba! Decor was beautiful, the staff and service were excellent - very welcoming and friendly and the food was just delicious. Possibly our favourite or top 2 meals in Aqaba. The guava juice was lovely, refreshing, while the seafood tajine and mansaf meat were simply divine. To top it off, we ordered dessert, which was also excellent (very big portion for 1, so glad we shared it). All round great restaurant, we were concerned as we'd seen mixed reviews expressing a decline in food quality, but we thought it was great. Portions were also generous, we were still full at dinner! Would definitely come back here.

    Good restaurant with some typical dishes. Very nice setting, full of foreign nationals. One star less because of no non-smoking area.
