Shahrazad - Amman

One of Amman’s finest and best described as Hashem’s meatier twin brother. A proper “no frills” locals spot. No menu, friendly service, plastic table cloths, no plates (just a bread), insanely cheap. Every dish was excellent. from the grilled Chicken Shish and Lamb, to the kofte drowning in Tahini. Make sure to order the spicy Ezme Salad!

A traditional restaurant right in the center of Downtown Amman. It’s comparable with other places in style and service, so you won’t in for a surprise when your table is covered in plastic and there’s no real menu. However, Google Maps has all the options for you along the photos if your Arabic is sub-par, as mine definitely is. We had the tomato köfte and the “arayes” (a kind of lamencun, served pizza-style). Both were outstanding. It’s worth the wait out front, for sure.

If you would like to have delicious meat-based meals, this is the place to go. It is a traditional, family-owned restaurant, opened since the 1960’s at the center of Downtown Amman (Al-Balad). I recommend to try the tomato Kofta, the Tahini Kofta and the Arayes. They were delecious!!! It reminded me of my grandma’s cooking
