Best Zarb (Bedouin BBQ)
in Amman
Zarb is a traditional Bedouin method of cooking food in an underground oven, creating a unique and smoky flavor profile. Order it by asking for **'laham zarb'** (meat zarb) and watch as the multi-tiered metal rack is lifted from the pit. The dish consists of meat and vegetables that are slow-roasted for several hours over hot coals buried in the sand. A full Zarb experience in the Amman area typically costs between 15 JOD and 30 JOD depending on the setting and inclusivity. The trap is "oven-baked" zarb, which lacks the essential earthy, smoky aroma that can only be achieved in a true underground pit.
