Best Restaurants in Amman


Shawarma Reem

The best restaurants in Amman are scattered all throughout the hills of the city.

Ranging from hole in the wall shawarma shops to high end restaurants, Amman has a great range of dining options.

Here is my list of the best restaurants in Amman:

Shawarma Reem

Serving up some of the best shawarma in Amman, Shawarma Reem is known for its excellent fast food.  It’s a tiny outpost on the side of a large traffic circle, so plan to order your shawarma to go and eat elsewhere in Amman.

Hashem

Known for having the best falafel in Amman, the outdoor Hashem cafe is a great place for a quick meal or a snack. The falafel is served with excellen foul medammas (ground fava beans with olive oil).
