The reason this is not 5 star is because of the VERY SLOW service, other than this, I’d say this was THE BEST FOOD IN AMMAN. totally authentic, no tourists, EXTREMELY CHEAP (if you’re coming from Europe/US) and omg so tasty. The lamb kebab with tahini - wow. I’ve never tasted any kebab like that before. The chicken was also so nicely grilled with smell of charcoal. I would definitely go back and recommend everyone to try this - they really apologised for the wait so it made it a bit better. We waited about 40-50 mins for your food just fyi but honestly if you go a bit earlier than eating time it will probably be quicker. We ate at hashem restaurant as well but honestly felt this was better and the other too touristy.

We decided to try this restaurant for dinner one day and we certainly don't regret it!! It is full of locals and you won't usually find a lot of tourists eating at this place, which is always a good sign. One of their specialities is some sort of round "casserole" of lamb meat (look at my picture). Following the advice of some local customers sitting next to us we ordered one of those "casseroles" cooked with tomato and another one with a white sauce that was for sure made out of milk or cheese. Both were incredibly tasty. We also ordered a "sandwich" of 2 pita breads with ground meet inside. It was not bad but I enjoyed the casseroles more. We paid a total of 8 JD for this amazing dinner.

If you are a tourist, EAT HERE! Some of the best food I’ve eaten in the Middle East, most definitely the best food we had in Amman. Ordering is a little tricky but some waiters come by with photos of the food, and majority speak more than enough English to where you can understand what you’re ordering. Absolutely try the kofta tahini. This is by far the best dish we had, I still think about it to this day. The shish tawook was also delicious- a very smoky and rich taste to the chicken. Arayes are also good, but not a must. And of course the pita, hummus, and baba ganoush given with the food really made the meal. Just so delicious! And EXTREMELY affordable.

Absolutely delicious place that came highly recommended. The service is extremely friendly and fast, and the food is definitely worth it! The arayes is hot, crispy, meaty, greasy, and packed with flavour. Their kofta with tomatoes are equally juicy and well spiced served with some soft fresh bread and pickles. The kofta with tahini also comes highly recommended but will have to keep that to try for the next time. It's also extremely great value for money - the arayes, kofta, and a pepsi together came in at 5 JOD

Shahrazad offers a genuine taste of Middle Eastern street food, particularly shining with its oven-baked Kofta and succulent meat Aryayes, rich in flavorful fat. The Aryayes is exceptional, blending spices and meat perfectly, while the Kofta is tasty, albeit the Tahini Kofta might be slightly sour for some tastes. Set in a no-frills, local ambiance, this restaurant stands out for its affordability and quality, making it a great spot for those seeking authentic, hearty meals without the hefty price tag.

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.
