Very unique and creative menu, great atmosphere, a bit small portion of food, but really delicious.

Shams El Balad

【Location】 Navigation: Come from Rainbow Street, cross a small street full of jasmine flowers, go down the stairs, and the restaurant suddenly opens up in front of you, with unlimited B-style! 
【Environment】 There are some handicrafts on the left hand side of the entrance. It is said that it is to support the development and inheritance of handicrafts of women in poor areas. Later, I saw this store selling handicrafts at Amman Airport. 
There is an elevator on the right hand side to go down. We sat half a floor lower than the lobby, and the night view of the Castle Hill was outside the window. The other half of the same plane is the children&#39;s play area. 
【Service】 The attitude is very good, but the speed is very Jordanian. 
The menu price is plus 10[%] service charge and 17.6[%] tax. So I always say this is expensive. 
【Taste】 I want lamb chops and wild smoothie, which are okay. It is said that all the food here is organic.

No.5 of Restaurants for Views & Experiences in Amman

The restaurant is located on Rainbow Street, which is said to be a relatively modern and famous street in Amman with a young audience. I think it is similar to Tianzifang in Shanghai. We arrived at Rainbow Street in the evening. The first impression was indeed as described, and we felt the youthful atmosphere of modern society. While walking and looking for food, we saw this restaurant located on the corner, surrounded by red apricots and dense trees (at first I didn&#39;t know it was a place to eat). The restaurant&#39;s sign is next to the street lamp, also hidden in the trees. When we walked in, the environment at the gate was quite petty bourgeoisie. When we walked to the stairs inside and looked down, we were amazed by everyone. This is the most beautiful dress I have seen since I came to Jordan. I couldn&#39;t help but exclaim. [Color] It took a lot of time to study the menu. In addition, there were many people. From sunset to ordering until the sky was completely dark, we finally decided on the staple food. Compared with the countless cuisines in Greater China, Jordan&#39;s food is very simple. Due to the geographical climate, the food here is more similar to that in northern my country, with mostly pasta and few vegetables and fruits. The staple food is a bread like Xinjiang&#39;s naan. Tear the bread in the middle and divide it into two halves, add various vegetables inside, and take a few bites, and you can finish it in one meal.
We are foreigners who don&#39;t know how to eat, so we still eat the vegetables and the bread. The food is not bad, especially when I meet someone like me who likes to eat grass. I basically clear all the grass that comes up~ Various unknown grasses are very fresh, mostly mixed with tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., poured with goat cheese or local special sauces. The overall taste is actually good, and I personally can still accept it.
The meat is basically sausages, cut into pieces, slices, and strips, with potato cubes, some spicy, or roasted tomatoes. The meat will be more tender than expected, and the umami taste is stronger than the phenomenon.
The most popular one is the roast chicken bibimbap (let&#39;s call it that for the time being), and I ordered two plates and finished them all. The rice was fried just right, very chewy, and had a bit of Thai rice texture.
I didn&#39;t try the desserts, because a few plates of grass had completely knocked me out...

No.4 of Local Restaurants in Amman

[Location] The most prosperous main street in downtown. In a small alley, full of people, it is it. [Environment] Roadside stalls, only a few tables are indoors, most of them are outdoors. A large pot, constantly fried balls. The two long tables at the door are estimated to be prepared for the team. [Service] Jordanian-style slow and chaotic. I can&#39;t find anyone to order, everyone is very busy, but I don&#39;t know where the efficiency is. The waiter came in and out, some took a lot of tray salad, some carried more than a dozen cups of sweet tea. [Price] Super cheap. One salad, one ball, one hummus, two cakes, one Coke, 2.5jd, it is estimated that Coke accounts for half of it. [Taste] The balls are very special, no wonder the king also came to eat. Salari is mint leaves, and it is very different to roll in the cake.

Feeling very comfortable restaurant, the taste is OK

[Location] In the center of Rainbow Street, there is a small square next to it. Go down the steps next to the movenpick ice cream shop, and you will find a different world.
[Environment] You can see the night view of Castle Hill outside, and the decoration inside is also very charming.
[Service] A friend had a birthday during the trip, so I came here to discuss the menu and arrangements. The boss received me very warmly and patiently. He showed me pictures of each Jordanian food and told me the ingredients and methods. Because this was our first formal meal in Jordan, the boss customized an appetizer platter for us, and selected a few special main dishes to form a set meal for us.
I was especially grateful that he also went to the dessert shop to customize a Jordanian cake, prepared flaming candles, and selected birthday songs in Chinese, Arabic, and English. I was very moved.

非常独特且有创意的菜单，气氛很好，食物的份量有点小，但真的很好吃。

前些年去过一次挺好的有机会再去看看。

I went there a few years ago and had a good chance to see it again.

在这边吃到了号称约旦国菜的mansaf，米饭羊肉奶酪一应俱全

Here I ate mansaf, known as Jordan&#39;s national dish, rice, mutton and cheese.

里面的菜最热销的就是她们的沙拉，青椒，心里美这些都很新鲜。

The hottest selling dishes inside are their salads, green peppers, and these are very fresh in the heart.
