Alqantarah Restaurant

Best food experience in town! We had an absolute blast, the food was exceptional, extremely tasty, fresh and more than enough. The staff was very attentive to our needs and bringing the food at the right moment.

Completely unexpected and such a great time we had. The place is lovely decorated as well with a rustic vibe, also cultural. We went there for dinner and the menu was fixed, but we really enjoyed it. Definitely recommending it!

Fantastic dining experience! The staff made us feel welcome and they went out of their way to insure we enjoyed all the local cuisine. We enjoyed our lunch so much that we went back for dinner, although I understand they are not always open for dinner. Great atmosphere.

Amazing cheap buffet style restaurant. Perfect for filling up on energy before or after visiting Petra.

Food Quality: in general everything looked and tasted fresh. Salads and food constantly being refilled and replaced.
Freshly made falafel full time as its a popular choice.

Portions: all you can eat buffet

Drinks: sold separately.

Price: $ very cheap for the amount of options and all you can eat.

Service: lacking a bit, maybe it was peak hour. Most tables were missing napkins.

Atmosphere: very busy location. Clearly a popular place as most tour guides must bring their groups here.

Highlights: all you can eat. Good food.

Things to improve: napkins would be a great thing to provide

Good selection of food, tasty and fresh. Nice traditional Jordanien style. I would come back.

Recommended by my hotel receptionist. 10 JD for buffet. No drinks included. Huge selection including salads, spreads and desserts. Had a buffet in a 4 star place few days back and this place beats them hands down. Popular among big tourist groups. Highly recommended after falling into tourist trap in Petra few times.

Great ambience, even better array of good quality tasty food serving genuine Jordanian cuisine.

Lunch buffet costs JOD10 per person

Don't miss this restaurant if you come here. I think it is one of the best, cozy restaurants in Jordan. For six dinars you can have an excellent gastronomic experience. I can't even list their rich food offerings. I promise I'll be back.

Best place to eat. Very kind staff, we always had seat under the air conditioner. Second time we eat there we got free drink. A lot of different kind of food, local and continental too. Salad bar is enormous and there are a lot of desserts and melon. Nice place from the outside and inside too. Price is really good.

Great food, price and service. Nice atmosphere and many vegetarian options.

Drinks are charged separately in an open buffet but very nice place
Food is limited in some occasions

I've been traveling throughout the Middle East for the last 2 months and this is the first Buffet I have encountered that I wanted to eat. The owner, who looks like the movie star Andy Garcia but goes by the nickname Al Pacino, has put together a clever array of Cuisine from different cultures and has presented them quite well. Everything I ate was extremely delicious and all of the staff was quite amicable. The owner himself is generous and friendly. So after a long day of hiking through Petra, don't go to one of the overpriced pizza places right outside the gate. Instead, take the time to find this place and make the trek up the hill. You'll be glad you did.

A place where tourists are brought to for lunch. It is a buffet style with a wide variety of food. Very flavorful and delicious!

We came with our guide so I’m not sure about the prices. The food is very good the falafel and the hummus were delicious. They were very kind.
A great place in Petra👍

We had our buffet lunch at Alqantarah Restaurant before we head to Petra. The restaurants architectural design is good and interior’s great for a photo op. The staff are very attentive and there’s a variety of food to choose from.

Very good buffet with some tasty local options like Kousa Mahshi.

Buffet-style restaurant near Petra. They offer a retro interior with many old days photos of Petra to bring nostalgic and classic vibes. This place also has a good wifi connection and a nice staff service. For the food itself, they have various menu ranging from appetizer to desert which quite friendly with foreigner taste.

Good food, excellent service and nice location. Authentic Jordanian atmosphere
