Jordan - Food & dining

The cuisine varies, although most restaurants have a mixed menu which includes both Arabic and European dishes.

National specialties:	• Meze (small starters such as fool, humus, kube and tabouleh). • Kebabs. • Musakhan (chicken in olive oil and onion sauce roasted on Arab bread). • Mensaf (stewed lamb in a yogurt sauce served on a bed of rice), a dish which is normally eaten with the hand. • Baklava (pastry filled with nuts or honey).
National drinks:	• Drinking Arabic coffee is a ritual. Coffee tends to be very strong and is served in small cups (with plenty of coffee grounds at the bottom). • Local beer, wine and other types of alcohol are served in most restaurants and bars, except during the fasting month of Ramadan (non-Arabic nationals can drink alcohol only in hotels during Ramadan). • Araq is a local liquor similar to Greek Ouzo, usually mixed with water and ice.
Tipping:	10 to 12% service charge is generally added in hotels and restaurants, and extra tips are discretionary.
Nightlife:	There are nightclubs, theaters and cinemas in Amman, while some other major towns have cinemas. Often clubs will only admit couples or mixed groups. Many of the 4- and 5-star hotels have popular clubs and bars.
