Best Mixed Grill (Mashawi)
in Amman

Mixed Grill is the definitive celebratory meal in Amman, representing the peak of Jordanian charcoal-cooking expertise. Order it by asking for a **'mashawi mushakal'** (mixed grill) and expect a platter loaded with kebab, shish taouk, and grilled lamb chops. The meat is seasoned with a specific blend of Levantine spices and grilled over natural wood charcoal for a deep, smoky finish. A full mixed grill platter in Amman typically costs between 12 JOD and 25 JOD depending on the restaurant's prestige. The trap is ordering from a place that uses electric grills, which lacks the essential smoky depth of a true charcoal mashawi.
