Best Mansaf
in Amman
Mansaf is the undisputed king of Jordanian cuisine and the ultimate expression of hospitality in Amman. Order it by asking for **'mansaf laham'** (lamb mansaf) and watch as the rich jameed sauce is poured over the meat. The dish is served on a communal tray lined with thin shrak bread to soak up the juices. A proper portion in Amman typically costs between 7 JOD and 15 JOD depending on the restaurant's prestige. The trap is ordering "mansaf chicken" from a tourist menu, which locals consider a culinary shortcut that lacks the essential depth of the lamb and jameed combination.
