Baba Za’atar is a hidden gem in Aqaba! It’s super cheap but the quality is absolutely top-notch. I tried a few of their vegetarian options, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Just note — it’s mainly a spot for manakeesh, so don’t expect a full restaurant menu. Perfect for a quick, satisfying meal!

A fine pastries bakery with a limited outdoor seating.
They serve a huge menu of Arab pastries (manakish) and pizzas. Most of their items are vegan and vegetarian friendly. A cup of tea with your pastries is a must.
They are very reasonably priced. I’ve been trying this place since 2014, and it hasn’t lost its touch of uniqueness. The pastries are very tasty, and are baked on thin bread.
They accept cash and card payment. They are available on some of the food delivery apps functional in the city.

Good traditional food and friendly people. But no toilet for guests!!! That’s why only 4 stars.

The food is good and service is excellent.
The best time is to come early as you can to get a table.

This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good

Baba Zattar offers a variety of manaqeesh that I enjoyed overall. The half white cheese and yellow cheese options were delicious. The qashqawan with hotdog was decent, although I would have preferred it without the hotdog. The zattar manaqeesh was flavorful and satisfying. However, the lahmageen was not what I expected and I wouldn't recommend it. Despite this, Baba Zattar provides good service and a range of tasty manaqeesh options, making it worth a visit for manaqeesh enthusiasts.
