  • 4/5 Asım Merter E. 2 years ago on Google
    They don't have hundreds of options in the menu but what they offer is good quality. Presentation was also good.You can find salad, starters, appetisers and main dish and prepare a delicious meal table. Price is not expensive not cheap, reasonable. It's interesting that they don't have restroom and take you to the hotel next to. They don't have heating devices and we had to sit with our coats. Staff was really kind. There was a nylon curtain surrounding the area and it was stopping wind. But suddenly a strange guy obviously who works there came and broke it to come inside instead of walking 1,5 meter more and use the normal way. It was interesting. I left my table and tried to fix it since it started to wind and made it colder. Staff saw that and fixed instead of me. I don't know who was that guy but it was not a kind behavior.

    This is a great traditional Jordanian restaurant with good prices. The dishes are fantastic, the staff is really kind. We even got tea after our dinner, for free. I strongly recommend this place if you want a great meal in Aqaba!

    The best food here! We ordered the Lemon Chicken, the Chicken Liver, and baked Halloumi cheese. Everything was delicious. The restaurant was comfortable and adorable. The staff were all extremely attentive and welcoming. Our server Ward was especially kind and friendly. He also brought us tea with care for after the meal that we appreciated very much. Thank you!!

    I chose this place because of the high score but it was way below my expectations when I compare this with all the other places I dined around Jordan. The meat on top of the hummus was too dry, lack of taste because it was overcooked. Tahini salad had something threadlike on top, I don’t want to say it was hair but it seemed so, they said it was coming from a spice, they changed it thanks but our appetite was lost. Fresh mango juice was edible instead of drinkable, yes it is good to have pulpy effect in a fresh juice but there was spoonful of chunks inside the glass. One or two bzzt was needed with a blender.

    I recently visited this restaurant and was impressed by the variety and quality of the vegetarian options on the menu. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious vegetarian options. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, the service was attentive and accommodating, and the food was flavorful and satisfying. I'll definitely be returning soon to try some of the other vegetarian dishes on the menu!

    We went here for dinner on a recommendation from our hotel and were very pleased. All tables were occupied by locals and tourists, so we had to wait a short time. The food was excellent and excitingly seasoned. Aws our waiter advised us in good English and served courteously. The price/performance ratio is right here. If you're looking for exclusive interiors or a romantic atmosphere, this is. the wrong place - simple seating under a covered forecourt.

    We ordered a lot of things in the menu (more than in the pictures) and it was a great dinner where everyone was ready to dive in and eat from everything. Not only is it not expensive, all the dishes we got had great taste and the staff were very friendly and ready to help us choose what to get. Special shout out to Laith and Ahmed who made our night!

  • 5/5 VAGANTURE 1 year ago on Google
    I ate here on my first day in Jordan and it was simply the best food in weeks. After a month in Jordan it is still one of the best in the whole country. Waiters are fast and sweet, but Laith is a star.

    We checked this place in internet before we visited it. High rated by the guests, nice comments…let’s try it! Saturday, quite a lot of people, we needed to wait for the table, but very short because they arrange for us the additional table - quick, perfect, resourceful service, we appreciate it Laith - thanks. All the ordered dishes, lamb with vegetables, hummus with chicken and spicy Arabic salad were simply gorgeous. For the price rather lower than average in the other places around it is worth to visit and try. Enjoy!

    Wow, this place blew our minds. We were just walking around aqaba and finally got here, quite late at 16 or so, and they were happy to serve us lunch. Everything tasted incredible, it was really clean despite everything. All the place is a terrace, there is no room to eat inside. We went there in august and so they had big ac fans outside which were really appreciated by everyone there. The waiters were extremelly helpful and nice. I would totally recommend this place to anyone.

  • 5/5 Dufi The D. 8 months ago on Google
    A very pleasant small restaurant. Smaller but excellent selection of traditional cuisine. The food is excellent and perfectly tasty. They also have a selection for children. Fast and very nice service. Amen was very willing. I definitely recommend it for a great dinner.

  • 5/5 Dino M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Delicious food - glad we visited. They’re opening a new branch just around the corner so if you go to that one and it’s not open just walk down a block and turn right and you’ll find the main one. Really liked the hummus with beef and the halloumi.

  • 5/5 Sarah A. 2 years ago on Google
    The concept of this amazing restaurant is very different and attractive, the owner is very hospitable as well! Loved the taste of the food, more like home made food 😋😋😋 I would’ve rated it more than 5* if I could!!!

  • 5/5 George G. 7 months ago on Google
    Best restaurant in Aqaba. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff is very nice and friendly. Location is really nice, the indoor has only a few tables and by night the restaurant can get really crowded. We ate there 2 times and all the dishes were tasty, but the chicken liver and halloumi cheese are absolutely amazing.

  • 5/5 Rana A. 8 months ago on Google
    We are currently sitting in the restaurant and I can’t wait to say how incredibly delicious this restaurant‘s food is. I’ve been to all sort of restaurants in Jordan and this by far is the best food I’ve ever had. The service with Omar was incredible as well which is always a plus, in fact it was the best service I’ve had in Jordan. Will likely come back to Jordan specifically to eat at this restaurant. Thank you for giving us such a great experience!

  • 5/5 Olga D. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place in Aqaba, we liked it so much from the first visit, that we ate there every day after! Great local food, very tasty, extremely friendly and helpful people, beautiful background. Our waiter Omar was nicest person ever, love your sense of humour! Strongly recommend!

  • 5/5 Francesco Z. 5 months ago on Google
    Cool vibes, good food and good prices! I really hope this place stays easy going and tasty as it is! We went for our first dinner in Jordan and came back for our last lunch before our flight! Kind waiters as well! Super recommend 🙏🏼

  • 3/5 Akil N. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice restaurant in the heart of the city. Food was tasty and in decent portion sizes. With all the seneya (skillets) you get complimentary bread (khubz) along. Would've been good to mention this on the menu so people don't end over ordering. There was a bit of wait time to take order after we were seated, although there weren't many customers. But after ordering, it didn't take too long for the food to arrive. For 2 of us we order one chicken skillet, vermicelli rice (yummy), haloumi, salad and one mango juice. It was quite filling.

  • 5/5 Mohammad Abdulkarem A. 8 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Andras S. 2 years ago on Google
    The best dinner was here! Authentic Jordanian cuisine and the food is delicious on a reasonable price. The staff is perfect, I can highly recommend this restaurant below the Lacoste hotel, in the heart of Aqaba!

  • 5/5 Katerina I. 2 years ago on Google
    Maybe some of the most delicious traditional food in Aqaba, Jordan - if not THE most! Clean, friendly environment, unexpectable prices and amazing 5* service! White rice, lemon chicken and hallumi cheese are just above any expectations!!

  • 5/5 Paul A. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow, what great food! We came as a group and they accommodated us well - all the staff were friendly and very efficient. We ordered nearly everything on the menu and it was all excellent! The casseroles and baked eggs were very good and I haven't seen them in any other restaurants - give them a try. The price was very reasonable and they take credit cards

  • 5/5 Humaka 2 years ago on Google
    Just did a google search for best restaurants in Aqaba and i found this :) Very friendly staff, amazing food and great location to eat at, and very affordable prices unlike other restaurants in Aqaba that are overpriced and you wait for an hour for your dish, it took less than 15 mins and the whole meal for my family and i was on the table, totally a 10/10!

  • 5/5 Gosia K. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice restaurant. The food was delicious. AWS was our waiter. He was awesome, really fast, nice, smiling all the time. I strongly recommend to visit this place. Food looks exactly the same as in the pictures. Service is excellent, we waited only few minutes to get the first dish.

  • 5/5 Quynhnhu N. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this spot on Google and understand why it has do many positive reviews. Great little place! It was quiet when we got there but soon filled up with both tourists and locals alike. We were served by Aws, who was lovely, so friendly, polite and personable and made us feel very welcome. The menu is simple, with enough options to try but not so many it's overwhelming - there are also pictures which are helpful (and are accurate to what you get!) Everything we had was so delicious, we didn't leave a trace of food behind! We had hummus and chicken shawrma, mutabal, fattoush salad, kofta with tahini sauce. They also have free WiFi here which is handy too. Lovely atmosphere sitting outside and we didn't wait long for our food to arrive. Great experience, would happily come back.

  • 5/5 Vuk K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great tasty local food with very fast and good service. We had different sort of chicken, hummus and cheese. The price is also very afordable!

  • 5/5 Richard G. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely authentic restaurant. Very friendly staff, simple cafe style setting in the centre of town with fantastic freshly cooked traditional food. Enough on the menu to go very authentic but a few more modern dishes to keep kids happy.

  • 5/5 Kondrat Adrian A. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food, everything we tried was delicious. Definitely worth the visit when in Aqaba.

  • 5/5 Ash 2 years ago on Google
    Unusual but modern Arabic dishes! I really enjoyed their minced meat with tomatoes with super fresh and soft Arabic bread. I’ll definitely recommend this place if you want quality food. (Bit pricey but it’s worth it)

  • 5/5 Andy A. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food and service. I went twice and tried a few different meals. The staff were always very attentive and friendly. The meals I had were very high quality. Aziz and others on the staff were great. Would definitely return

  • 5/5 Jakob F. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been in Jordan for a week, living in 5 star hotels… but this genuine local food was the best meal in Jordan. Excellent service with recommendations on what to eat. Mouthwatering delicious, well prepared chicken and beef was tender and spiced perfectly…. 2 people enjoyed a fantastic local meal for EUR 25, amazing mango juices included. Definitely coming back!
