Fakhreldin Restaurant

If you are visiting Amman, Fakhreldin Restaurant is a non-negotiable must-visit. We loved it so much that we returned three times during our vacation! The consistency here is remarkable; from the first visit to the last, the service remained incredibly attentive and professional. Fakhreldin is rightfully famous for its extensive variety of hot and cold mezze. We sampled a large portion of the menu, and while almost everything was high quality, here are the standouts you cannot miss: The "Must-Orders" • Hummus with Awerma: This was the star of the show. It hit the "3 F" trifecta: Fluffy, Flavorful, and Fatty in the best possible way. • Fattoush Fakhreldin: Truly one of the best preparations of this salad I’ve ever had. • Jawaneh (Garlic & Lemon): A beautifully prepared, citrus-forward dish with a bright, punchy sauce. • Kubbeh Nayeh: Delicious, but be warned—the portion is quite large for two people if you are ordering other mezze plates. • Shish Tawouk & Fried Halloumi: Both were executed perfectly. • Tabbouleh: Fresh, vibrant, and exactly what you want from an authentic Lebanese kitchen. A Few Notes for Your Palate While every dish was well-prepared, there were a few we personally wouldn't order again. The Mixed Grill (specifically the lamb and beef kabobs) felt a bit standard compared to the spectacular mezze. We also found the Labneh to be just "okay," and the Chicken Balls didn't quite hit the mark for us. Pro Tip: Stick heavily to the mezze and the Shish Tawouk to experience Fakhreldin at its absolute best. This is a legendary establishment for a reason!

If you’re looking for a truly memorable and authentic Jordanian dining experience, Fakhr El-Din excels in every aspect. The food, service, and ambiance are all absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend ordering a wide selection of mezze, along with their exceptional raw meat dishes. The desserts are also delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. The architecture of the building is beautifully Jordanian and blends with the history of Amman’s old town, adding even more character to the experience. A true must-do when visiting Amman.

We went for a dinner ordered muhamara, green fool, mugadarah and tabbouleh. We had uncomfortable feeling in our stomach an hour after food, we believe it’s from the muhamara, anyway the food taste in general was okay nothing special. The service was good and people who work there are kind and helpful.

Nice good meat of lamb, no smell at all. Very good grilled meat. The service was great. Staff were very attentive and helpful.

Food was good! We were almost 20 ppl! Reservation is required, I recommend this place to ppl that got engaged and it was fam dinner after the proposal, i totally forgot to take pictures but I at least have these 2 .

The service was excellent, and the staff were very respectful, polite, and professional. This was my first visit to the restaurant, as I had heard many positive comments about it. Since I live in Germany, I usually enjoy visiting Lebanese and Arabic restaurants whenever I come to Jordan. Unfortunately, after dinner, I felt unwell the next morning and experienced stomach discomfort, diarrhea, followed by vomiting, muscle aches, and general fatigue. We ordered tabbouleh, hummus, labneh, a raw meat dish, and a few other items. It’s possible that one of the dishes, perhaps the raw dish, did not suit me personally; I honestly cannot be certain. I also tasted a sheep testicles dish (بيض غنم) and for me personally, the taste was not enjoyable at all. The other dishes were generally fine. Tabouleh was one of the best! Overall, while many people highly praise this restaurant, my experience was different. The service was excellent and the place is very nice, but I personally did not find the food special; it was quite ordinary and simply did not suit me. This review reflects only my personal experience, and I appreciate the professionalism of the staff. Other people may like the food very much !! For me , never again .. We were a group of four people. While two of us did not experience any issues after dinner, another person and I felt the symptoms described above throughout the following day and needed a full day to recover.

The food is really delicious! Thank you to the chef he was very kind and polite!

Great vibe. Excellent service. Tasty food. Make sure you make a reservation before. The restaurant is always full.
