Traditional fare & alfresco seating is offered in this expansive restaurant set in a stone building.
Reviews:
Seven people in our party sharing a meal that filled the table. It started with 8 appetizers, followed by a tray of meat (amazingly tender beef, spiced and grilled chicken, and grilled lamb skewers). The desert was a platter of peaches with grapes and two side platters with various pastries (chocolate, baclava, and several others). Great ambiance, fantastic food, highly recommended.

Tawaheen alHawa is a great restaurant for traditional oriental food, especially Mansaf. The food is always fresh and delicious, and there are many varieties to choose from. The grills are also delicious, and the appetizers are also delicious, fish and shrimp are also delicious. The service is excellent and fast, and there is a nice feature of serving fruits and sweets for free at the end of the meal.

A true gem - we visited this on our last day and were impressed by the quality of the food and the ambiance. A great place to try out local food in a nice terrace, closed away from the busy streets. They also accommodated one person in our party who is vegetarian by cooking an entire new meal from scratch to ensure no contamination.

For me this is the place to go in Amman for delicious Jordanian food. It is a large busy restaurant and having been there in the evening and afternoon has loads of room so it doesn’t feel crowded. Cannot fault anything. It’s also great value for money with generous portions.

The restaurant is really nice and it was busy with locals. The menu offers many dishes and they have fish. Everything was good. The service was really careful and waiters were so kind. The restaurant is also really cheap.

Great option if you are around Amman downtown. The prices are incredibly affordable and the food quality could not be better! The food is simple but so delicious. The service was super fast and the staff there were very nice. We went two times and could not recommend it more!

I love the lively vibe and atmosphere. As soon as I walked in, the restaurant was buzzing with activities, loud, and people waiting for an open table. There's no organization at all, but that's part of the attraction. I heard so many good things about this place. It's highly recommended by my Airbnb host. Even my taxi driver said it's good Jordanian food. Fast, rich, tasty, popular with the locals and tourists. It's cheap and won't break your budget. I love the falafel and hummus with meat.
Russ Lacuata
Very over rated place , if the service improved you would got a better falafel place in Amman , the bad service turn all the good taste to rubbish... And contraversa , good service can turn bad taste to better ... In this restaurant you feel the frustration of the employees and they reflect this while throwing the dishes to your table and delaying the tea service or even not bringing at all or making big issue when asking for sugar etc. Either they are unpaid or forced to work there ... Can't understand this behavior... This should be very famous and the service should be in line with the quality of the food , you would expect a smile or nice word , but you get happy not been beaten by the stuff ... Shame ....
Dr.Arafat Mansur
A traditional fast food joint. Food: The food is in par with the Jordanian expectations I must say. Not much to choose but whatever available all are very good. Service: There is no special service here, as they aim to fill in maximum people in lesser time, you have to be in and out asap. They prepare your table, give you a sheet to order where you tick the menu. They take it and they serve you. Atmosphere: Located right in the heart of the old city, filled with tourists and locals alike. Price: I remember it being average priced same as you would find in Dubai
Mohammed Sehl
Wow this place is HUGE! We came at a time that wasn't too busy - but it was clear that they can feed many many people. We ordered the hummus, falafel and baba ghanoush. I was really impressed how many falafel we got! So many! They were pretty tasty, but the real star was the hummus. Wow that hummus was so creamy and smooth, I loved it so much. I also liked that they give you a platter of onions, tomato and herbs. It was completely delicious.

Reviews:
Hands down the best jordanian food restaurant in Amman! From food to service to the atmosphere and ambiance. Everything was perfect. In the two times that we went, we experienced consistent experiences both being good. I had the best hummus ever here. You have to try the ice cream with honey dessert. All the waiters and workers were extremely friendly and nice. The first time we went we didn’t know we needed to have a reservation yet they still tried to fit us in and found us a table when the restaurant was packed. Really great experience and would totally recommend and visit again no doubt!
Fatima
The waiter in reception told us it’s full house the moment he sees us. But the manager let’s us in and apologized. The reason of five stars is: the food is too good to let us forgive this episode. Imagine how amazing it should be… the best in Amman

The sister restaurant to Levant in Amman was the first restaurant we tried. And it did not disappoint despite our lack of sleep and need of a hot shower. The food was amazing and it was an excellent introduction to Jordanian cuisine... Even though I think its considered Lebanese. In either case, this restaurant set the bar for the rest of the trip. And obviously we had to go back the last night. Make sure to make reservations because we weren't able to eat there on our last night because it was a Sunday and they were all booked. We went to Levant instead but we have no complaints. Sorry didn't have enough time to take pictures-- I was way too hungry!

The dinner was amazing, with lots of dishes and great flavors. The meat was grilled to tender perfection and well seasoned. The variety of appetizers was astounding. The eggplant with yogurt and chickpeas, the rice with lamb shank, and the kebabs stood out to me. The dessert was also great even though I rarely eat desserts.

A very nice restaurant, with good food, but even better atmosphere. Defently get a table outside! Enjoy the very friendly service and the smell of 1001 shishas ;)

Reviews:
I had the pleasure of dining at the Burj Al Hamam restaurant in the InterContinental Jordan Hotel, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The restaurant's elegant and inviting atmosphere set the stage for an extraordinary culinary journey. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the food, which was exceptionally tasty. The menu offered a delightful array of dishes, each bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. From the appetizers to the main courses and desserts, every bite was a revelation. The combination of authentic ingredients and skilled culinary expertise made each dish a true masterpiece. One of the standout dishes was the grilled lamb, which was so tender and succulent that it practically melted in your mouth. The flavors were rich and savory, a true testament to the chef's expertise. The seafood options were equally impressive, with the freshness of the catch-of-the-day evident in every bite. To complement this gastronomic journey, the service was top-notch. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu and ensuring that our dining experience was flawless. In summary, the Burj Al Hamam restaurant at the InterContinental Jordan Hotel not only delivered an exceptional dining experience but also proved that the food was not just good; it was superbly tasty. I look forward to returning to savor these remarkable flavors once again.

This is one of the grand restaurants in Amman that serves authentic Lebanese and Arabic cuisine in a great and relaxing atmosphere. A spacious outdoors seating area that makes it ideal for memorable summer nights. Works for family, social or even business outings. Probably one of the very few places that serves perfect mixed grill and tasty and tender grilled meat. The service was prompt and professional despite the fact that it is usually full. With an average of 20 to 25 JD per person it is one place for good value for money. Make a reservation before you go to ensure having a table to your preference.
Dr. Amer Al-Khatib
Great place for both groups and dates. Highly recommended for work meetings as the relaxed and quiet atmosphere allows for conversation. Menu with multiple cuisine options. Most known for BBQ. Serves hard drinks as well as soft drinks. Staff is polite, professional, and speak both Arabic and English fluently. Prices are relatively expensive, especially for hard drinks. Accepts both cards and cash. Has delivery and parking service.

Bourj Al Haman within the interconnected hotel proved to be a culinary paradise where luxury meets exquisite flavors. From the elegant ambiance to the artfully crafted dishes, every aspect oozed perfection. Knowledgeable staff, exceptional service, and breathtaking views completed the unforgettable experience. A must-visit for true connoisseurs of fine dining.

Nice restaurant, beautiful atmosphere, was not really impressed by the taste of the different dishes we ordered, all dishes have the same taste!

5-star fajitas, 10-star service! Loved the ritas, too. Nacho chips could use some improvement, but overall a top notch experience!

It’s my second time here and the food is very good. If you order a beer you get complementary peanuts. Also they give chips with sour cream, pico de gallo and guacamole. Good variety and good prices too.

First time at The Intercontinental Amma Jordan, the hotel is beautiful. The resturant was pretty good, however being from USA,.we are used to Chips and Salsa being regularly available. We had to ask and the Salas and Chips. They came in the cutest 2 ounce sizes. The fajitas were huge couldn't eat it all. I am glad, I tried it once.
Dee Dee Foodie4life
Delicious And amazing food. We tried the fajita beef and jump shrimp, as well the tortilla soup. Special thanks to mr hamza for taking care of us . It’s also a lovely spot on the intercontinental terrace overlooking the pool

Reviews:
I had the pleasure of dining at La Maison Verte, a splendid French restaurant in Amman. This place stands out as one of the finest dining experiences I’ve had in the city. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that this was going to be a memorable evening. The quality of both the food and the service is exceptional. Each dish I tried was an absolute delight. The onion soup was crafted to perfection, and the salad was a harmonious combination of flavors. The main course dishes were outstanding in every way. What truly adds to the charm of La Maison Verte is the impeccable atmosphere. It’s a place where you can savor your meal in a perfect setting. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, they made the dining experience truly special. If you’re looking for an extraordinary dining experience in Amman, I highly recommend La Maison Verte. It’s a culinary gem that promises top-notch French cuisine and a dining ambiance that is second to none.
Mohammed Abuneel
The ambiance was elegant and sophisticated and the service was attentive and accommodating. I liked that there was a female DJ, something you don’t see very often. The food was good overall. The beef carpaccio felt a bit under seasoned in my opinion. The sea scallops were very yummy. The entrecote steak was delicious. The fish was overly buttery in my opinion.
Rand Dawoud
Great ambience, good food plating and flavors are balanced. The decor is quite nice. Service needs improvement... Update : considerable service improvement since my last visit. Hence an additional star.
Yanal Touq
Beautiful place with excellent food and service. My wife and I ordered seafood and a hot and cold appetizer. Everything was delicious including the complementary bread and crudités. The menu is small but they cover pretty much everything le capital does (and that’s the other top tier French restaurant in Amman).
Graham Sharp
Nice restaurant. Clean and well maintained. I recommend coming early so that you get all their attention. Their food is good and tastes nice. It has a nice ambience. If you are staying in a near by hotel I recommend walking. They have friendly and professional staff.

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.
Michael S
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.
Amanda Weilenmann
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.
hania daaboul
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.
Fatima
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.
