Best Knafeh & Sweets
in Amman
Knafeh is the legendary dessert of the Levant and the ultimate sweet ending to any day in Amman. Order it by asking for **'knafeh na'ameh'** (smooth semolina crust) or **'knafeh khishneh'** (coarse noodle-like crust) served warm over melted white cheese. The dessert is soaked in a fragrant sugar syrup and topped with a generous sprinkle of crushed pistachios. A single portion in Amman typically costs between 1.50 JOD and 3.00 JOD, often served in a plastic tray to be eaten on the sidewalk. The trap is buying cold knafeh from a generic bakery; the best experience in Amman is always from a high-turnover specialist where it is served fresh from the tray.
