MY FAVORITE Places in Amman to EAT, Drink, Chat

Hi Fouadsbaby,

I hope you are doing well. Tell you what, I am a little too confused after reading all your posts really. I mean, here you are writing about all the good stuff one can do in Jordan and sort of makes one excited about life and culture in Jordan in general, and at the same time you write of the realities that are rather harsh to an outsider such as myself. 
So, in essence, you have left me very puzzled and shocked, if you like.
But at the same time everything that I gathered from your not so encouraging posts, do sound very real.
Let me ask you a question - why cannot you and your husband move out the country and have a better life elsewhere, unless ofcource, he has some other commitments that he needs to honour? I mean there are places like UAE,Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, which offer good salaries and have a superb quality of life as well. I have lived in Dubai for a long time and I think is just wonderful! What do you think about that?

I don't know after reading all your posts i feel like you and Fouad (I guess that's your husbands name) deserve a better life.

Do let me know if there is anything I can do for you both.

Wishing you a happy newe year!

Regards,
Emran

Hi FouadsBaby,
You should start a blog about your life in Jordan.  You seem to have some interesting tales to tell.  Would love to read more

I agree with you sourgrapes!!!

Good Post ...Thank you

If you haven't been to Sheherazad downtown you really must go. Their kebabs are pure heaven! They also make a kefta pan with tahini and a pita sandwich arayes that I could eat for the rest of my life! Do give it a try, you won't regret it I promise!

the yemeni place i think is BAB ALYEMAN SooOOO delicious

please go to LEZEIT ISTANBUL located near the university of JOrdan and the German University. it is devine. great food. somewat cheap. great ice cream! nice cute restaurant. I cant want to sit there again aaaaaaaaaaah!

Where is Sheherazad downtown? (I.e. where is it in relation to Hashem or Hamudeh DVD?)

Is it a place you can sit at a table, or do you just get take-away?

Any other cheap and delicious places with food and argileh?

from Hashem; when your on the opposite side of the road walk towards downtown just before you reach the police station its in the alley on the right.

you can sit&eat or take away,

i was there!! they have reallly really good food. we had huge portions of rice and chiken and salad for 2 people 8jd. we didnt even finish it.

Yes, it is a lovely place. I usually take my family there, although I feel it is too private in there. What do you think?

I love to go to a restaurant named Majdelyoun served Lebanese food side of the fourth circle front of Hotel Amman West

for Pastry and Pizza with fixable Price " Ras Beirut " in Al-weibdeh  near to Paris Circle ...

for really Jordanian Fool and Flafil try " Osh Al Hana " in Alqwismah ... it's really fantastic ... ask For Hamudah , he free speak English free ( he worked in Durham-UK and opened there Flafel Alhana) .

omg that place is soo good they have got to have the best pizza in amman, i think they use real sauce not tomatoes!! go there it is cheap the pizza is huge!

For those who did not try a bakery Salah al-Din in Al-Abdali (is a popular place of more than forty years is open 24 hours a day to provide some sort of bread covered with sesame with fried Eggs or yellow cheese, if you prefer something else you can bring falafel from Hashims restaurant and making by your self your delicious popular sandwich .
My advice to you after placing the components of the sandwich, whether eggs or cheese or both, ask the baker to put sandwiches in the oven again to get crispy sandwich

Enjoy ........

Sweeter get together in Amman area Ajbhe or Abu Nasir Rayeq get together there or on the street, especially Jordan, Warez sweeter and sweeter after and get off to Jerash, Jerash and Ajloun Mountains

Who did try Shawerma Reeem? Yummmyyy!!! It is fantastic and very cheap!! I bet Shirazi did try it

Jafra Cafe close to the post office in Jabal Amman is a wonderful place for sheesha, live singing, and great food. Very good atmosphere and friendly people.
