Al-Mohandes Cafeteria
مطعم المهندس
A budget breakfast and fast-food spot popular with locals, with quick service and cheap falafel, hummus and fava bean mash.
Located on At-Tabari Street, this simple eatery is a favorite with Aqaba locals. The short menu centers on falafel, hummus, ful medames, labneh and mashed fava beans, with chicken shawarma served in the afternoon. The falafel gets the most praise, and one reviewer called it the best in town. The décor is plain and service is quick. It is very busy in the late morning and quieter in the evening. There is a family area on the second floor. Some reviewers mention paying in cash, and others find the food average and the vegetarian options limited. Reviewer-reported prices show about 2 dinars for one person's breakfast and about 12 dinars for four people's dinner, though the dates are not given.
