In almost two weeks of travelling through Jordan, we have not eaten as brilliantly as we have here at Zajal Restaurant in Amman. No matter what we ordered, whether cold or hot starters, various main courses or desserts everything tasted fantastic every time. Even the coffee at the end tasted far better than at other places. So we have visited Zajal three times and are so happy to have accidentally got an insider tipp about this restaurant. So if you're looking for a place to dine where the food is superbly cooked with a touch of individuality from the chef, everything is fresh and wonderfully aromatic, then be sure to visit Zajal. A real culinary feast for the palate awaits you! We would also like to thank the entire team for their first class service, Dorota and Peter from Berlin.

What amazing decor for starters! How this place is not thronged with people, I don’t know! It’s hipster cool and would be mobbed in London and New York. Waiters are friendly, efficient and all the staff speaks very good English. The food portions are HUGE, cheap and delicious. I got the aubergine and halloumi salad the first time I was here and had to get it for takeaway it was so large! Second time for dinner and I had the freekah with shrimp which was so creamy and savoury as well as the labneh and a veg starter. The menu has plenty of veg options which made me happy 😃 Fabulous IG-worthy exterior staircase to the restaurant as well where lots of people take photos.

A fine restaurant in the Amman downtown area located at the Alshamasi Stairs (Colorful Umbrella Stairs). They have a diverse menu of local food items. They serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. They serve vegetarian, chicken, lamb, beef, and seafood food items. They also offer non-alcoholic drinks and desserts. Their indoor seating has a touch of nostalgia to it. They have a seating area with a view to old Amman downtown. Staff are friendly, service is excellent, and the food is very tasty. They are priced average, and accept payment by card or cash. They also deliver. The restaurant is smoking-friendly. There is a paid parking lot within 200 meters.

We ordered barbecue pizza, zajal salad, zajal smoothie and lime and mint juice. All tasted good except for the salad, we didn't like it at all, and it was quite expensive. The place is nice and comfortable, I loved the decor especially in the inside court, the terrace is nice if you want a view of street outside but I liked the inside court more. Rating atmosphere 4 because the workers kept standing at the door close to our table and talking to each other, so it was difficult for me and my friend to talk and eat comfortably until they left to do something else. But overall it was a good experience.

The food was good and the prices were fairly suitable. I really like the ambience of the place. The service is good as well. Got their typical cocktail (strawberry, mango, kiwi, guava) which was fresh and not too sweet (which is a good thing) A plate of kebab had 4 skewers 1 hummus bowl, which was good Grilled chicken with mushroom and white sauce - it was good but the chicken didn't exactly taste grilled although I'm quite sure it was Grilled salmon was good Cheese man'ousheh needed an extra pinch of salt but it could have been preferably hotter Instagram: @HouseoFlavour (House o' Flavour)
