Al-Basha Restaurant

We were super hungry when we arrived in Aqaba and found Al-Basha restaurant on Google maps with good reviews so we directly went there to have a lunch. We got hommos dish, masabaha dish, salad dish, falafel dish and tea. We have been trying local foods in Jordan since a couple of days and all of the dishes we got in Al-Basha were the top quality with very reasonable price amongst the ones we tried so far. Anyone looking for a great food in Aqaba can visit Al-Basha without any hesitation. We will definitely visit it again.

The staff is nice and really welcoming. Their falafel sandwich was super! It is so tasty and really worth of money. After finished the sandwich as dine-in, we ordered stuffed falafel for take away and it was also really yummy(a bit spicy which I like so much) Definitely a must when you‘re in Aqaba.

Just finished our dinner and it was amazing. We tried almost everything from the menu (they have it in English on the wall) me and my wife we both were very satisfied. For 8 JD tip included. I liked the falafel sandwich most and hummus. It was really yummy.

Amazing falafel here. Do not miss this place. The staff are super nice, genuine and friendly. We will be back! Thanks for an amazing authentic meal. Do no miss the stuffed falafel, yoghurt drink and hummus with foul beans.

Great Local Experience!

The menu is simple, Falafel, Hummus, Salad, Pita Bread. They also serve sweet tea and soured Joghurt Drink (didn't try it though). We went early in the evening (by local standards) and lots of locals were ordering Takeaway.
We had walked by at 6pm and they weren't open for evening service however, and returned later on.
As mentioned, there isn't much English spoken, and the menu is Arabic but the homemade falafel is worth trying!
Cool photos of what I imagine to be old Aqaba hanging up. Very cool local restaurant!

There is no toilet. Cash only- bring small bills. It was hard to change 20D note!

Local, authentic restaurant with tasty traditional dishes. We had humus served with pieces of chickpeas and olive and a salad. All served with pita bread. Great price (2.5 JD, Nov 2022). Both for take away or dine in. Friendly and helpful staff.

We arrived to Jordan a week ago and had hummus every day. All of them was amazing but this one was the best! The locals eat here too, so should you. The owner was extremely kind and we paid a super fair price.

Absolutely the best meal what we had in Aqaba. Fantastic flavors, good vibe, very nice people and last but not least very good price as well! The four of us had wide range of dishes, e.g. falafel (normal and spicy), hummus dish, foul dish, salad with bread and tea. Everything was great and more than enough!
Thank you very much for this experience and your kindness!

We were so lucky to find this amazing place!
Delicious food at a cheap price and excellent service. We had food lunch for 2 people for 2.6jd!
The owner is very charming and kind he gave us nice suggestions to have lunch.
Higly recommended!

Tiny place with the best vegetarian and vegan food, we could find around the city!
Affordable, very tasty, friendly...we couldn't ask for more! :)

Authentic, delicious food and most important excellent atmosphere! The best experience that I encountered in a restaurant so far! The owner made feel like home because we even have conversation in polish! WANT TO GO BACK SO MUCH!

Great little place with some of the best falafels I had in Jordan. Went here twice and even got a takeaway order after our second visit because we were leaving the next day. It's that good and super affordable! The owner is super friendly and caring. Put this place on your list of restaurants to eat while in Aqaba! Great for vegans and vegetarians too!

Cheap and cheerful! A short walk from our hotel in downtown and opposite the mosque. The restaurant served us a handful of dishes that they suggested and it was all great and authentic tic

Delicious and cheap. Gave us advice what to order. It felt like we were important guests.

Best falafel ever 🤩 So crispy on the outside and soft as cotton inside.
Cozy place, very authentic. Highly recommend to visit while in Aqaba.

We were like at home even if we were form 3000km from house. The owner and his cook are very good person! The spicy falafel are very interestring tastey, also hummus and classic falafel are wery good. The price is very low for all of things. Thank you so much for this food experience. Enjoy it!

Greeting from Trieste

Simple place, with simply the best falafel 🧆🥙 small falafels are excellent, but big falafel with spicy inside and sesame on top is just amazing. Complimented with a nice salad and great hummus. Reasonable price, helpful and interesting lovely owner who speaks besides English, Serbian and Croatian language.

Great food. Cool vibes inside. Would come back again

Very tasty food, sandwiches were with fresh vegetables. The owner was super nice. And we paid only 6JD for dinner for four people and we were full.

Friendly stuff, very tasty, fresh food, low prices. I ate there twice and I wish to come back again.
