My Mom's Recipe
A second-floor restaurant right next to the Petra Visitor Center, famous for its traditional family recipes—perfect for a meal after sightseeing.
Located on Tourism Street, just a few minutes' walk from the Petra Visitor Center, this restaurant is on the second floor with no elevator. Decorated in a Bedouin tent style, it offers buffet options for lunch and dinner, as well as an à la carte dinner menu. Highlights include Mansaf, Maqluba, Musakhan, and mixed grills, with a vegetarian menu and gluten-free bread available. Some reviewers note that the traditional hand-eaten Mansaf requires a 24-hour advance booking. Prices are mid-range for the area; reservations are recommended during busy times, while lunch is relatively relaxed. It is advisable to double-check the bill before paying.
