1. Al Canary Shwarmah is to me, THE BEST Shwarmah I have EVER Had in Amman. BUt the best one I really really every had was in Jerash.

2. King Hussein Park--the little Cafe --it's a hot spot for Fouad and I to just sit and drink tea. Very romantic, kinda cold right now, so I don't like going there, but during the spring and summer it's really really nice.

3.There is this Yemeni Place but I forgot what it's called, it's on the way to University of Jordan...

4.Al Ghazal over at Waha Circle (sort of) has awesome ZInger sandwiches

5.There is this聽 Hamoudeh --which is great for hommos and falafel in the morning...the one on Gardens street closer to the Waha circle...

6.There is Abu Jbaara, but I'm turned off by their prices, which are just outrageously high for Hommos and Falafel so I don't like to go there much

7. There is Hashem at the 8th circle--they have really good falafel and hommos as well (they have on in Raghdan where His Majesty eats there during Ramadaan.

8. There is Ranoush...they have nice cocktail shakes

9. As far as a nice sitting just for conversation and tea...? Le Meridien or the Four Seasons --VERY Nice sitting...Pricey, but nice

10. Then there are all those other places in Abdoun, but I haven't been to much of them because they are also $$$$ and just too far away .

There is one really expensive Lebanese Restaurant over by C-Town at the Waha CIrcle. .and I'm
forgetting it's name...but i'lll remember it tomorrow, but it's really really really nice, but $$$$. About 70 JDS for a table of 3. So yikes, but very very very good. And if you don't care about money, Go to Fakhr Al Deen, Tanoureen, or Kan Zamman, or Something Al Hawa --or maybe that's connected to Tanoureen,聽 (Forgot again the name--blame it on pregnancy hormones lol)

If you haven't been to Sheherazad downtown you really must go. Their kebabs are pure heaven! They also make a kefta pan with tahini and a pita sandwich arayes that I could eat for the rest of my life! Do give it a try, you won't regret it I promise!

Where is Sheherazad downtown? (I.e. where is it in relation to Hashem or Hamudeh DVD?)

Is it a place you can sit at a table, or do you just get take-away?

Any other cheap and delicious places with food and argileh?

Yes, it is a lovely place. I usually take my family there, although I feel it is too private in there. What do you think?

For those who did not try a bakery Salah al-Din in Al-Abdali (is a popular place of more than forty years is open 24 hours a day to provide some sort of bread covered with sesame with fried Eggs or yellow cheese, if you prefer something else you can bring falafel from Hashims restaurant and making by your self your delicious popular sandwich .
My advice to you after placing the components of the sandwich, whether eggs or cheese or both, ask the baker to put sandwiches in the oven again to get crispy sandwich

Enjoy ........

Jafra Cafe close to the post office in Jabal Amman is a wonderful place for sheesha, live singing, and great food. Very good atmosphere and friendly people.
