Petra Kitchen

We had a brilliant fun evening at Petra Kitchen under the wise guidance of Chef Reda and his team. We were greeted with a fresh juice - perfect after a day hiking in Petra. Dressed in aprons and chef hats, we got chopping. Chef Reda and his team prepped some items in advance so we could make, between us, a fantastic menu - soup, hot and cold mezze dishes and delicious Magluba for main course. The team were fun, professional and we had a great evening cooking and chatting with like minded folk. Doesn’t matter if you can cook or not, you can learn. After prep we all sat down on a long table to enjoy the results. Thoroughly recommend it. Jordanian food is delicious and we loved this meal. And you get the recipes all printed to take home. My favourite was probably the baba ganouj and fatteh. If you’re in Petra do this one evening, it’s great.

This was such a fun and delicious experience! Ra’ed was a great chef whom shared his passion for his cuisine and so many helpful tips so we can recreate the delicious dishes we prepared at home. Don’t miss this unique experience that will inspire and enlighten.

Wonderful restaurant on 5th floor of Petra Boutique Hotel. Clean space with warm hospitality from the staff and chef. Chef was very happy to accommodate my vegetarian, no allium dietary restrictions. We had delicious vegetarian sawani and vegetarian maqluba (my husband says it tastes like biryani). The portion is big. Highly recommend this place for Petra visitors.

That was one of the most amazing experience in Jordan. We wanted a well deserved special dinner after our visit to petra and we decided to come here. We cooked a full dinner (from aperitizer to dessert) with the help of a VERY professional and entertaining chef.

Food was great. Experience was great.

If I would be back to Petra one day, I will come back for sure

We had lunch in the terrace restaurant.
We were alone with my wife in the whole restaurant, but the food was fresh (you can see how they make it) and very tasty. Everybody was kind. Highly recommended! Good value for money.

Best choice If you are staying near from Petra gate. Home made food, cheap, tasty and very good quality. We ate for 14JD both (pictures), large dishes and much better than other average restaurants in the area (or same street). The service was flawless, our waitress, Qussai, was excellent. Honestly, 100% recommended

Great value simple food. We had Jordanian fried egg, hummus with chicken and potatoes (patatas bravas equivalent). Dishes were large and 3 were enough for both of us. Mint tea was very good. Total cost of 23 JD. They have seats inside and on the terrace outside. The staff are exceptionally friendly and they also run cooking classes each evening for about 30 JD though we had no time for this.

Had an evening meal here during our stay.
It turned out we were the only ones dining on the night, but don't let that put you off, as the food here is amazing and they deserve more customers.

I wasn't sure what to have, so i spoke to the chef and asked for his recommendation and i really wasn't disappointed in the slightest.

Tasty food at a reasonable price 🙂

Highly recommended AAA

Loved it. We had dinner on the front terrace, although I wish we’d had time for the nightly cooking class. Dish of the day, three salads and a soup for 12 JDN was a steal. Huge amount of food and all absolutely delicious. Fresh Lemon & mint juice the best I’ve had in Jordan too. Very friendly staff. All round brilliant!!!

The buffet is amazing in terms of quality, taste, quantity and overall value for money. Especially recommend the Sawani Chicken. The chef is so sweet that he literally wrote a recipe for a dish that I liked. The staff is also super sweet & hospitable. 100% recommend.

Excellent experiance and the food we prepared was excellent. Definately worth a visit.

Amazing and autentic experience that can trasform your visit in Petra at 360° simply perfect! Great cooking class, great food, and the unique chef! Higly recommended

Great food with fresh ingredients. Very clean. Friendly staff and good service.

We had dinner in the terrace restaurant. Unfortunately there was no-one else there, so rather devoid of atmosphere. Nevertheless, friendly service and excellent food - tasty lentil soup, and a great chefs special with flavoursome mince with a good topping of cheese. Yum!

Went to Petra Sky Restaurant (5th floor) which is the same chef. Amazing food and good prices. Definitely the best restaurant in Petra, and potentially even in Jordan that we visited during our stay. Highly recommend!

The misses and I did the cooking class they have on offer, we had a chef named Reda, we loved every minute. The food was delicious, Reda was professional, friendly and approachable. I have some food intolerances, Reda was able to cater for it quite naturally to make sure I was able to get a taste of every dish we cooked.

And after the class he provided us with the recipes for all the dishes we cooked.

If you’re keen on learning on how to cook Arabic food, I recommend giving this a go if you’re spending the night, it was a lot of fun.

Amazing place for cooking and very friendly staff , best place to stay during your Petra visit.

The restaurant appears as Petra Kitchen on Google review but the menu mentions Petra Sky. For the avoidance of doubt the restaurant is located on the 5th floor of Petra Boutique Hotel. Best place to eat around Petra visitors centre (area we chose to stay in based on the proximity to Petra). We have been directed by the reception at our hotel(different hotel) to a couple of other restaurants but we left definitely unsatisfied - food was average at best. We even were directed to a restaurant in downtown Petra ( Reem Beladi) that was definitely a tourist trap (great service but average food). We went to the Petra Kitchen/Sky restaurant based on the Google reviews and were not disappointed at all. The service was great (Ahmed went above and beyond to respond to all of our ridiculous requests) and the food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend!!

The cooking class was a delightful experience, and the staff were very gracious in accommodating my vegetarian diet. All of the many hot and cold mezza we prepared were vegetarian. The only two dishes that were not were the (chicken broth) and the main course, which was a chicken dish. For both, they set a bit aside for me and finished preparing my serving separately without chicken.

Petra kitchen is a genuine experience,to explore Jordanian gastronomy and share a very nice moments with local community.
I really advise Petra visitors to spend some of their time there.
