Petra Local Jordanian Restaurant

We had a wonderful dining experience at Petra Local Jordanian Experience Restaurant. We tasted small portions of Mansaf and Maqluba, which gave us a great introduction to traditional Jordanian cuisine. A single dish costs 15 JOD per person, and trying two small portions was 20 JOD per person, which felt slightly expensive for the portion size. However, the overall experience was excellent the food was authentic, freshly prepared, and full of traditional flavours. There was a minor hygiene issue (a hair found in the food), which we did not raise at the time due to discomfort. We believe it was unintentional and it did not significantly affect our overall experience. The hospitality and local atmosphere made it a special Jordanian experience, and it is well worth visiting for anyone wanting to experience traditional food in Petra.

I had a wonderful experience here. The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic local flavors. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, taking the time to explain each dish to us. I even had the chance to try on traditional clothing, which made the experience even more special and memorable. It truly felt like being welcomed into someone’s home. Highly recommended!

Fantastica esperienza . La famiglia di Anas ci hanno accolto a braccia e cuore aperti. È stato bellissimo cucinare e poi condividere le pietanze con loro . Porto nel cuore una bellissima esperienza con la mia famiglia.

Esperienza magnifica da fare assolutamente se si viene a Petra! Cucinare con Sara e la sua famiglia é stato stupendo e ci ha permesso di entrare in contatto con la cultura Giordana fino in fondo. Ci hanno trattato benissimo! Torneremo sicuramente

เริ่มทำอาหาร 19.00 ได้ร่วมทำหบายๆขั้นตอน สนุกดีคร้บ อย่าหิวมากก่อนมานะ เพราะจะหิวขึ้นมากๆ ทำอาหารเสร็จกินด้วยกันทั้งกลุ่ม อร่อยมาก ไม่เลี่ยนเหมือนอาหารในร้านอาหารทั่วๆไป เพราะเป็นสูตรคนพื้นเมืองจริงๆ ถ้าเวลาเหลือและไม่เหนื่อยมากไป แนะนำเลยครับ

Must do. This is an incredible experience and well worth visiting for the evening when visiting Petra. Family home with a lovely spread of Jordanian food and wonderful family company. Lots of cultural discussion with three generations and food. Groups up to 14/16 max but they will take a number of smaller groups to meet the max. Truly Awesome.

非常正宗的家庭式约旦餐体验，他家的鸡头饭太好吃了。鸡肉也入口鲜美，汤汁浓郁，尤其是甜品Watbat,一口咬下去又想家的感觉。特别是一家人非常热情，先生礼貌热情，太太温柔美丽，最让人喜爱的是他们的小宝贝，简直太可爱了。希望来佩特拉的朋友们尽情来做客品尝。

Comida casera jordana de primera,con la posibilidad de recibir una pequeña clase de cocina de los platos que hayas elegido para comer. Se trata de un negocio familiar, dónde puedes disfrutar de la cocina jordana auténtica. Llegamos por casualidad, buscando un restaurante para comer musakhan, y para nuestra sorpresa, aunque no fuese un restaurante al uso, comimos dos platos muy, muy ricos: musakhan y maqluba (el de la olla volteada). Disfrutamos de una comida genial con la familia al completo y con unos compañeros de mesa sudafricanos, a los que aprovecho para saludar por si llegan a leer está reseña. Experiencia totalmente recomendable. Anas, muchas gracias por todo.

It was a really special experience. The food was very good and reasonably priced. More importantly, the host was very friendly and spoke good English. It’s a great chance to speak with Jordanian people and learn about Arabic culture. I would highly recommend going to this restaurant with plenty of time, because it’s not just about the food, but the experience chating with a Jordanian family.

Tuve una experiencia maravillosa cocinando con Anas y Sarah. Desde el primer momento fueron increíblemente amables, acogedores y atentos, haciéndome sentir cómodo, yo estaba maravillado haha, no lo podía creer, primero el haber llegado a Jordania y segundo estar compartiendo con una familia muy bonita. Aprendí a preparar Maqluba, uno de los platos tradicionales más deliciosos del país, y no solo fue una clase de cocina, sino una inmersión cultural interesante. Anas explicó cada paso con paciencia y entusiasmo así que espero poder prepararlo al volver a casa Recomiendo totalmente esta experiencia a cualquiera que quiera conocer la verdadera hospitalidad jordana y disfrutar de un momento cálido, sabroso y genuino. ¡Gracias, Anas y Sarah, por abrir las puertas de su hogar y su corazón! 🇯🇴❤️

Wonderful local experience in Petra- Wadi Rum. The host prepared a wonderful 10 courses dinner for 14 people. We were invited as well to dress Jordanian costumes and dresses and then we had a lovely dessert. Overall very good food and amazing experience! 🤩

Such a good experience. We came to do a cooking class and we made musakhan. They are so hospitable and we learned a lot about Jordanian culture, such as coffee. Making musakhan was a more complicated process than we expected, but with their help and patience making it was a really enjoyable experience. The end result tasted more delicious than when we tried it at a restaurant, more flavourful. A visit to Jordan isn't complete without the experience of authentic Jordanian food which can only be found in a home, not in a restaurant. Definitely come here!

Nous venons de passer un excellent moment avec Anas et sa femme Sarah. Vous avez le choix du plat que vous souhaitez cuisiner dans un catalogue et vous le preparer tous ensemble puis partager le repas ensemble autour d'une table accueuillante. Merci à Anas et Sarah de nous avoir reçu

À tous les français qui passent par Pétra, vous devez ABSOLUMENT venir ici. Il s’agit de locaux qui ouvrent leur porte pour proposer à manger et des cours de cuisine, c’était l’un des plus beaux moments de mon voyage. Les hôtes étaient d’une gentillesse inégalable, une vraie hospitalité. Et la nourriture était incroyable.

A great idea and experience to see, taste and cook Jordanian dishes. Thank you, we had a good time

Me And my friend had wonderful time! Hosts were very welcoming and friendly. We got to play with their lovely son while waiting for dinner ❤️ Food was delicious! I highly recommend this experience!

Absolute incredible experience. If you’re seeing this, just go & do it. If you can, order the Knafeh dessert & thank me later!

We wanted to try a local restaurant, saw this one with a good rating nearby and decided to visit without diving into the reviews. Suprisingly, we arrived to a residential-based restaurant and were greeted warmly by dear Sarah into her home. We were introduce to her beautiful family, had meaningful conversations especially with Abu Anas and little baby Elias graced us with his endless big cute smiles. It was a unique experience - not your typical restaurant visit. We savoured freshly, prepared home-cooked food, enjoyed the warm welcome of a local family 'home' environment and indulged in one of the tastiest Arabic dessert. A memorable encounter. Thank you ❤️ Much love from us, Chi & Amy

We had a great experience in this family restaurant. Upon arrival the host presented us with two choices: we could take the cooking class and learn to prepare a traditional jordanian meal by ourselves or we could just enjoy the meal in their own family home if we didn’t feel like cooking. We opted for the cooking class and it was an unforgettable evening. We spent few amazing hours with the host who shared some interesting facts about Jordan, their culture, cuisine etc.

We had an amazing dinner experience with this Jordanian family! They were very kind and we were happy to taste their food and get to know their culture. The food was really delicious! We will definitely come back another time for the workshop! Thank you for sharing your food and house with us!
