La Capitale, Four Seasons Hotel

Excellent food, beautiful surrounding, great service, but on the expensive side. The perfect place for a special occasion.

Bait Omar Middle Eastern Restaurant, Amman

Decent Middle Eastern food, not too expensive, nice outdoor seating in the Summer.

Da Esmat Italian Kitchen, Rainbow St.

Reasonably priced, but the food needs a great deal of improvement.

Luqmeh Al Kanoon, Lebanese Restaurant, Fuheis

3.4 out of 5 We decided to venture beyond the city limits of Amman and head out to Fuheis for a bite at a Lebanese restaurant name Luqmeh Al Kanoon (A Bite Over the Hot Grill). You could easily miss this restaurant because the sign is concealed with a wood structure the provides shade for…

Benihana Japanese Restaurant

  Rating 4 out of 5 When you come to Benihana, it’s not just the food that is the attraction; it is the live cooking show that takes place table-side. The westernized name for this style of Japanese restaurant is Hibachi. A hibachi is a small charcoal brazier covered with a grill, usually used for…

Il Pizzaoilo, Abdoun, Amman

Rating 3.97 out of 5 Il Pizzaoilo (pronounced ‘el pizza-yolo’, it means the Pizza maker, in Italian) is tucked away in a bustling area of Abdoun. It is a pleasant place that is typical of a modern Italian bistro. The seating is comfortable, the space is well lit (maybe a little too bright for some),…

Al Kit Kat Middle Eastern Restaurant, Downtown Amman

Rating: 4 out of 5 You know the saying that says, “Never judge a book by its cover,” right? Well, that is exactly the case with al Kit Kat. The place could easily be missed, as the curb appeal and the signage indicate nothing of the wonderful food that could be had in this quaint…

Primal Bistro & Café, Abdoun, Amman

4.36 out of 5 Located in a bustling area of Abdoun, chock full of restaurants and cafes, lies the tastefully decorated Primal, under the soft glow of candle light. It can’t get any more romantic that that! The centrally located bar is the focal point of the design and it adds to the pleasing setting…

Cattleman Joe’s Restaurant & Grill, Mecca Street, Amman

Overall Score 4.23 out of 5 Once you arrive at Cattleman Joe’s, you are instantly transported to a typical American Saloon, with John Wayne on his horse greeting you at the door! The ambiance is different to any place in Amman. It feels like a warm and inviting  steakhouse and grill with a wall of…

Mazraati, Airport Road (next to the French School)

Mazraati Overall Score 4.35 Mazraati (means my farm in Arabic) is a new concept for Jordan: it is a produce farm that is open to the public and provides organic, pesticide-free, fresh fruits and vegetables. As a bonus, you get to try out their produce in a meal on the premises. You can purchase the…

Gusto, Italian Restaurant, Rotana Hotel, Amman

Overall score: 4.33 out of 5 It’s always exciting to visit the newest hot spot in town, and even more exhilarating when it’s in a new hotel, and the tallest building in Amman. Gusto is located in the new Amman Rotana (Towers) Hotel at the Abdali. The interiors are a fresh break from the run-of-the-mill…
