Jordan's vibrant capital — seven hills of white stone, extraordinary mezze restaurants, the ancient Roman Citadel, and a warmly welcoming city that surprises almost every visitor.
The finest traditional Jordanian cooking in Amman — mansaf (lamb with fermented dried yogurt), makloubeh (upside-down rice), and extraordinary mezze in a beautiful restored house.
Amman's grand dame of Lebanese-Jordanian fine dining since 1975 — extraordinary mezze, grilled meats, and the most comprehensive arak collection in Jordan.
A legendary hole-in-the-wall downtown institution since 1952 — the best falafel, hummus, and foul (fava beans) in Jordan. Open 24 hours. Even the king has eaten here.
🌟 Hodophs insider tipOrder the full spread — hummus, foul, falafel, and fresh bread — for about JOD 3 per person. It's always busy and always worth it. The plastic chairs and fluorescent lights are the authentic Amman experience at its finest.
