Samra cafe — Restaurant in Amman

I have visited here on several occasions for lovely, reasonably priced Ethiopian food. I decided to come with my friend today to show him the Ethiopian food. The waiter said that the Ethiopian ladies that worked there had gone but that they could do some Ethiopian food. I said I wasn't sure but the waiter said it was tasty.

What arrived was not Ethiopian food at all. It was grilled steak, some chilli/red pepper puree and some tortilla rolls. There was no injera bread. We ate the food, it was average. Then were charged 12.75 JD EACH for some bits of chewy steak. Please see pictures. When questioned, the waiter said that 'it was Ethiopian food but we can't make injera bread because only an Ethiopian knows how to make it'. What an absolute scam. I've lived in Jordan 8 months and never been so disgusted.

They charged us based on the grilled steak on the menu. I can't believe I paid the bill, I should have refused and walked out....

I recently visited Samra Cafe and had a fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm and friendly service from the staff. They were attentive and made sure that my dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish.

The food was also excellent - flavorful and beautifully presented. Overall, I highly recommend Samra Cafe for anyone looking for great food and excellent service in Amman. Over all the view is amazing if you choose to set near...

Not the best experience, I was a bit disappointed with the zaatar manoshe, it was really dry. I misunderstood the meny that you can only order one ingredient on the manoshe, rather how it was written with 3 ingredients. When I asked if it was possible to add something on it because it was dry it was declined. Then later when I payed, the waiter's asked if it was good, then I said again that it wasn't. But that didn't bother him at all. Probably mostly language barriers, but still little effort to try to get guest to leave with...
