DELICIOUS IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

Jordan has some of the best local dishes and restaurants in the Middle East. From a simple bowl of foul (cooked flava beans) sprinkled with olive oil, lemon and garlic - topped with smashed green chillies - eaten with local pitta bread (price around 1jd) to a sumptuous mezze meal followed by grilled meats or fish - or a range of traditional dishes like Mansaf, Ouzi, Kabseh, Molokhia

Delicious mezes are served - comprising hommous, lebneh, chicken livers, spicy olives,

VEGETARIAN OR VEGAN

Many dishes are suitable for vegetarians and vegans to some extent. Such as Foul, hummus, falafel, veggie stuffed vine leaves, stuffed peppers,
stuffed courgettes and aubergines.... Freshly bakes patries with cheese, zatar, potato - side dishes like sour cream - olives, baba ghanoush or m'tabbal - just state that you need vegetarian.

Vegan is a little more complicated - since locals are meat eaters and few people are vegetarian - so vegan may be difficult for them to understand.
If you can come with some suggestions for them, they will improvise and try to provide what you need.
