This trestle-tabled restaurant opposite the Ayoun Musa junction produces a daily lunch buffet of traditional Jordanian dishes, including makloubeh (chicken, rice, vegetables and spices cooked together and turned 'upside down') if ordered an hour ahead. The stone pillars and reed ceiling add to the been-here-forever ambience. Try a local Mt Nebo wine and sink into the majlis (Arab-style sitting area) cushions for a nap.
