I can hinestly say that we made the right choice coming there. We were struggling whether to go there or to Al Wadi but we came to Sajiat. It was the right choice. It was so right, we went there twice :-) I'll start with the fact that food isn't cheap. For the similar quality and size in Aqaba we paid half of that price. In Wadi Musa though all of the restaurant are expensive that way so it is not a minus. Now the food, it was very good, we had lamb (they pronounce it "lamp" in the menu ^-^), sezame and tomato dishes and they were all amazing, very tasty. We had Taboleh, Sezame salad, Mutabal for starters (Taboleh the best one) and Sawani veggie, Galayah with Lamb, Sajiah, Kofta with Sezame (Gelayah, Sajiah and Sawani are the best) and fresh Hibiskus, Lemon with mint and Pomagrane Juice (Lemon with mint the best). Lastly the service, very nice, adorably clumsy but very pleasant. They offered us the first day free tea, probably for us to sit more and attract more tourists but second time we demanded free tea ourselves, and the gave it to us (saying "on the house? of couuurse") :D Overall very good experience, locals go there too, the food is good, service is nice. Highly recommended.

This restaurant is amazing, super recommend. Maybe only for a drink-don’t miss the lemon with mint- or for a full meal you’ll leave full and super happy to have chosen these guys! The food in very fresh. The staff is so nice. The place is clean and cute. Also, very important: they helped me with coeliac disease. I showed them the card written in Arabic and in just few minutes they were suggesting what to have and what to avoid. Such a plus when travelling in an adventurous way. Don’t miss it when in Petra!

Amazing authentic food, friendly service and ownership. The restaurant's impressive rating is very well deserved. We visited Wadi Musa for two nights and were recommended to Sajiat Al Janoob the first night by a local resident. He said he eats there frequently, and I now see why The Chicken Sajiat was absolutely incredible, one of the best dishes I tasted in Jordan and the host and waiters extremely nice and hospitable. We enjoyed it so much that we had to come back the next night!

The food was absolutely delicious and among the best I've had in Jordan so far. We had the hummus with meat as a starter and oh my god: you need to get this! Trust me. I had the chicken as a main and it was really tender. Service was very friendly. I only have to deduct one star because a lot of smoke was coming from the kitchen into the restaurant area. Not only did my clothes smell a bit smoky but I am also seriously concerned about the chef's health in the kitchen area.

Best in Petra. Delicious meal here at this authentic local joint with beautifully cooked food! We were taken by our driver who swears by this restaurant. It’s not touristy like the others in town, and the food is unbelievably yummy. Order the Sajiat with chicken (the restaurant’s namesake dish) which is made fresh with charcoal, and the kofta is made with tahini and very tasty, as well as the eggplant mezze. To top it off, the owner is a very nice and friendly man!

Definitely one of the best place to eat in Petra. Original Jordan cuisine, with a short list of dishes (that’s another aspect I appreciated), but very tasteful! We try the starters “for the cave man”, several arabic salad, hummus, and mutabal. Then we tried a spiced chicken spezzatino (roasted on the grill) and a dish with lamb, tomato and onion (all mixed together). Everything delicious, in a cozy and familiar atmosphere, a bit far from the touristic places.
