Beit Al-Barakah is one of the most hospitable restaurants I’ve visited during my travels. After sitting down and ordering from their short menu of Jordanian dishes, our waiter brought us a whole array of six appetizers on the house! There was a creamy hummus, motabal (eggplant tahini dip), fatoush (cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and pita chips with pomegranate dressing), tabbouleh (parsley, tomatoes, bulgur), a spicy and sour Armenian salad (chopped carrots, tomatoes, peppers, onions), and a sweet and spicy Bedouin salad (tomato and eggplant), and all of it was served with warm triangles of chewy pita bread. Shortly after came our order of mansaf, the Jordanian national dish of rice topped with tender lamb and slivered almonds, served with a thin, chewy shrak bread and a sauce made of aged yogurt on the side. The best part of the mansaf was the tender, meaty lamb paired with the rich, umami yogurt sauce, but honestly, I was happy enough with just the appetizers all on their own. And after our meal was done, our waiter brought us a cup of mint tea and a dessert pastry made of crispy phyllo dough wrapped around a filling of cheese, again on the house! Afterwards, we got to speak with the owner as well, and I was just so impressed by the staff’s friendliness and generosity.

The hubs and I deove south to visit Madaba, Mt. Nebo, Umm Ar-Rasas, and Kerak Castle, and finally reached our final destination for tonight at Wadi Musa. We saw some great reviews of this place and want to give this place a try. The food is a bit pricey, but perhaps it is because this town is a tourist destination. The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived, there were 5-6 tables seated down and enjoying their meal. We were promptly sat down, but the server forgot about us right after (we were not given a menu, nor tissue). After waiting for 5 mins we walked out to grab our own menu. After another 5 mins, we walked up to order, but the cashier insisted walking over to our table to take our order. The table doesn't have any napkins, so again we have to wait for them to come back with some napkins. The hubs and I were not that hungry so we just ordered a hummus (2JD) and a shawarma wrap (2JD) at 6:03pm. The orders arrived at 6:09pm. The hummus was ok. Didn't have the flavours I tasted from other restaurants. The shawarma was tasty, but after inspecting I noticed that they mixed fries into the wrap to fill it up and/or add flavour to it. Not a lot of meat. Overall, based on my experience, I think this place is not great at all.

I dined at Beit Al Barakah during my visit to Petra in July, and I must say it was a delightful experience. Situated in the heart of the small city, the restaurant offers an enjoyable view of the surrounding area, enhancing its overall charm. Ahmed, one of the staff members, warmly welcomed me from the moment I arrived. For my meal, I decided to try the traditional Jordanian dish called mansaf, and it exceeded my expectations. The flavors were rich and authentic, making it a satisfying choice. As a delightful surprise, the restaurant generously offered me baklava and tea as a complimentary dessert, which served as a perfect ending to the dining experience. Overall, Beit Al Barakah provided a pleasant dinner that perfectly complemented my visit to one of the Wonders of the World. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a genuine taste of Jordanian cuisine in an exceptional location.

An exceptional experience in every way. From the moment we arrived, the personalized and attentive service made us feel right at home. The staff’s kindness and dedication were impeccable, always attentive to every detail and eager to share with us the local culture and traditions. The food is simply amazing, prepared with artisanal techniques that highlight the authentic flavors of Jordanian cuisine. Every dish, from the freshly baked bread to the traditional stews, was of outstanding quality and reflected a love for fresh, traditional ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s a must-visit for anyone in Petra looking for an authentic culinary experience with top-notch service. It truly deserves the highest rating. I would return again and again!

MUST VISIT! I must start with the hospitality and customer service of everyone! Began from the moment I pulled up in assisting with parking. I am not even sure if the person helping knew I was coming to the restaurant, but jumped right in the street to help me maneuver! Escorted us into the restaurant with a great seat on the patio. We received complementary starters, as well as tea and dessert! The BEST baklava i have had. It was served warm, which was a first for me but delicious! Must order!! The shawarma was well seasoned and very tasty! Large portion! I was filling up on all the amazing salads, so had extra to bring back to my hotel! Will definitely be back! Thank you!!

Wonderful people, delicious food, and warm atmosphere. We finished a long day in Petra, came here during the busy dinner rush, and despite the size of our party (8 people), the manager and staff quickly rearranged tables and chairs, pulled up a heater, and made us feel at home. And the food— food was so tasty! They treated us to incredible salads, and when our main meals came out, we continued to stuff ourselves. Then, as if knowing us for years and years— they brought out hot mint tea and dessert! We are now back at the hotel, rubbing our respective bellies. Such a great meal completing an unforgettable day.
