Map💡 What to order & ordering tips
- Local Go for mixed grill with tabbouleh/fattoush and hummus to share.
- Traditional If mansaf is available, pre-order for the group (it’s often made to order).
- Quick Shawarma or kebab sandwiches are ideal if you want something fast before driving back to Amman.
- Peak time: around midday after people finish the main visit—aim for an early lunch (11:30–12:30) to avoid crowds.
If you are a group, agree on a mix of shared mezze plates plus a few different mains so you can taste more without over-ordering.
