Zawaya restaurant

Fantastic local food. The baked chicken tomatoes dish and lamb was so delicious. Best Lentil soup I had along Egypt and Jordan. Highly recommend it. They also have wonderful flavoured tabouli with Couscous in it. A must try

We had dinner here for 2 persons. We ordered the beef kebabs, mandi chicken and fatoush salad. The food was delicious and came in generous portions. They also provided complimentary tea at the end. It worked out to 20 dinars for the meal. Service was very friendly. Definitely recommend if you’re around the area.

We hit a cold spell when we visited but they gave us coats and moved the heaters closer to us to warm us up which was nice. Good menu I had the lamb Gallaya which was very nice.  Thick tomato based sauce and plenty of meat.  My husband had the Musakhan which had lots of tasty onions. Complimentary tea and a hot coconut dessert was a lovely touch. Friendly service.

Good place to have dinner in the middle of a lot of tourist traps. We had Mansaf (very good), Maqluba, Musakhan (exccellent) and Gulaya (very good). Service was quick and friendly. We went back a couple of days later for burgers and shewarmas which were also good.

The food here was amazing. Good prices considering how much food you get. The service from Mohammad was 5+ stars. We were treated like VIP the entire time. We will be back. He gave us mint tea at the end and several other dishes on the house. Truly a wonderful evening.

Out of all of the restaurants we tried in Petra Jordan, Zawaya was the best!!! So authentic, fresh ingredients, and felt home cooked.. a must try when in Jordan! You will not regret. The service was amazing and they made us feel like we were family.

Visited here a couple of months ago, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Had a camel kebab, hummus, kibbeh, and a rice and meat dish (forget the name!). They are slightly off the main shopping strip so it's a little bit quieter. Highly recommend.

This place is clearly made for tourists, and the food as well. It is good, but we’ve tried the same dishes in the other parts of Jordan and there it was totally different (and much more delicious). But this is the issue with most of restaurants near Petra. Lamb kebab was actually very nice, but the portion was small. Lemon mint pineapple cocktail was great. Kunafa was ok, but, again touristic
