Joz Hind

Top choice in Amman


This tiny restaurant is one of Lweibdeh's gems, and you won't mind sharing at one of the large tables on the communal verandah when the meals come. The freshest of seasonal Italian food is made in a semi-open kitchen and served up with love.

Every day there are just three items on the menu: a homemade pasta, a vegetarian course and a meaty main, usually with salad leaves. If self-catering is your thing, don't miss their sourdough loaves to take away.
