Tasty and regional. Seasonal camel kebab and mansaf are great. Few extras, free tea at the end, so order juice with your meal :). The service was fast and very nice.

Excellent food, brilliant service. Very good value for money. Best food I've had during my 2 week stay in Jordan, travelling from Amman to Aqaba and many places in-between. 👌

One of the best restaurants in Wadi Musa. We enjoyed everything; food, service, hospitality. Twice, because we came back, and that should tell you something.

Enjoyed a great dinner at Zawaya Restaurant in Petra this evening. Our dishes included Mansaf and Zawaya special with cubed lamb. Tasty food and great service. Our baclava desserts were phenomenal - quite different from the Greek type and delicious.
