Shams El Balad

I was really amazed by this place 😍
I went for a breakfast and the food portions were pretty decent and enough
the vibes and music were smooth latin music and it was really comfortable for a very nice morning breakfast ❤
As for the price, it was a bit expensive compared to the surrounding coffee shops but it was worth it.
I highly recommend the visit. 😍👍🏻

One of my favorite resturants I have tried in Amman. The food is authentic but many dishes come with a modern twist on the classics. The food is not only great but the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. Will definitely be coming here again the next time I'm in Jordan!

Very cool place with an amazing interior and garden! The place has unique dishes that you would love to try! Highly recommended however it's a bit pricey.

An authentic Jordanian restaurant that we had a great experience at; the food was great and creative and the service (Abdel Salam) was excellent. We will definitely revisit it on our next trip to Jordan.

My mother and I had a wonderful meal at Shams on our first night in Jordan. Everything we ate was delicious, and our server, Abdullah, was very friendly, helpful, and professional. We will likely be back again before we leave Amman and would gladly recommend it to anyone visiting.

This place is a must visit each time I’m in Amman their food is amazing feeling home is never complete without a brunch here both outdoor and indoor seating are amazing

I went to this place 3 times in my short stay in Amman. I think this is the best restaurant in Amman!
I’ve pretty much tried 80% of the vegetarian dishes and loved all of them.
My least favourite was their eggplant manaqueesh, the eggplants were too crispy. But besides that honestly this place is 10 out of 10.
The staff and atmosphere are lovely! You won’t regret visiting this place!

I fell in love with this place!!! I went there today for the first time, and was treated with the utmost friendliness from the entire team. I had the pleasure to meet and thank everyone for their hospitality and geneorsity. The fusion of food was quite interesting and met its expectations! Highly recommended. I will def be back next time I am in town!

Good quality food, a lot of options and a very nice and cozy atmosphere! I really recommend this place!

Great food and even better staff!
The hummus zaatar man2oushe was one of the best manouches I’ve ever had - the dough was perfect

The food was supreme and the service quick and polite. Allergies were taken seriously, they were very attentive. I would wait hours for this food - perfection takes time. There is a happy hour and they serve alcohol. A hidden gem. 40-45 JOD with 3 beers and 3 wines.

So good we came back twice! The restaurant is located in a villa on a hill and has a beautiful open air seating area that is beautifully decorated and relaxing. The staff is very friendly and kind, and the food is amazing. Everything we ordered was great, but we especially loved the spicy cheese, cheese and cherry tomato jam and salads. We will recommend Shams El Balad to any friends traveling to Amman.

Delicious food, helpful staff, lovely restaurant. Would definitely recommend.

Urban escape, a hidden peal in the city, super close to Rainbow Street, with a fantastic view over the city and the Citadel, and such a lovely and natural environment. Interior design game on point! Beautiful terrace and natural decor. The food was delicious.

Amazing restaurant. Had such good food. Was with 5 friends so we split most of the menu. The decor was also so nice

It was a great experience! Loved the service and the food. The interior was very homey and cozy. It felt like home! We got the beetroot flafel it was so good. I got the watermelon juice it was refreshing and fresh!

What a place!!!! A must visit for sure! Atmosphere, design, decoration, nature, service, and almost everything is perfect! A bit hot inside, but would take it for the experience. Food is great, non-standard food for sure! So if you are looking for a budget standard hummus and Falafel, then you should not come here. If you are looking for the an exceptional experience, then, this is a must try! Wish you all the best, and hope you remain open for ever, so we can come here every time we come to Amman.

Best veggie food I’ve eaten for a very long time. We were recommended this resturant and am so glad we made it! It was quiet on the evening we went due to the conflict in the neighbouring countries.

Quite possibly the best meal we had in Jordan! From the moment you approach the place, you feel like you’re stepping into a separate universe - lovelier, greener, yummier. The house the restaurant is housed in is beautiful and boasts gorgeous views of Amman; they also have a store selling Jordanian goods (the jasmine candles are addictive). The olive branches decorating the tables were a charming touch.

Now to the food itself - everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and provided a twist on a classic; special highlights go to the cauliflower fritters (suggestion to the restaurant - please serve in even numbers to prevent fights over the last one), zaatar salad, and homemade manakeesh with zaatar and cheese. In addition to the food, the service was friendly, helpful, and took obvious pride in the place and their work - as they should. Cannot recommend this place enough!

When you can taste the care that is put into the meal, it makes the experience so much better. Shams El Balad is a great place to take it slow, enjoy good food, and the company around you. The wait staff are attentive and take great care.
