Nicknamed ‘Umm Khalil’, this rambling restaurant, a 10-minute walk from Jerash’s centre, has been a national treasure since it opened in 1977. On offer are plenty of sizzling and cold mezze and freshly baked bread, as well as superior salads and mouth-watering grills. If you can’t decide what to sample, try the set menu for a selection of the best dishes.
The indoor and outdoor seating gets busy with local families after 9pm.
