Tannoureen

Reviewed By linda009

Our group of four enjoyed a pleasant dinner at Tannoureen. The restaurant is housed in a large villa and in the dining area the tables are places well apart and covered with white tablecloths. This makes the restaurant have a formal feeling, but was not in any way pretentious. We were warmly welcomed, and throughout the service was professional, swift and excellent. There's a huge choice of dishes on the menu and we were pleasantly surprised at the reasonable prices. We were served complimentary bread and olives - delicious. We ordered a selection of hot and cold mezze dishes and all were excellent and in very large portions. There's also a wine and drinks list. Although we have only experienced a few restaurants in Amman, Tannoureen was by far the most sophisticated and we very much enjoyed our meal here and would revisit if in Amman again.

A very nice Armenian /Lebanese restaurant.The welcome was so warm with a succulent cucumber soup.We started by a typical Armenian salad and an amazing humous with soujouk"Out of this world".Grilled halloumi , moutabal , kobeba, wine leaves are all very tasty. For the main course we shared a beef Shawerma. What an experience? Offered with its garnish and carved at your table. Very tender tasty meat.Staff very nice, a highly recommended place to have any sort of meal wether business, family or friends.

Maybe I am used to a different kind of Lebanese or Arabic food so I didn't enjoy it that much.Food was okay, I have had way better hummus, better Sheesh Tawook, better grill in the past.Their sweets were really good though.Atmosphere is okay but smoking kills it. Service is good and they are eager to take care if your needs.

This is low profile restaurant in Weibdeh, near Abu Mahjoub.I went there for breakfast. Indoors and outdoors seating available, we sat outside. I would say biggest added value of the place is its cosy seating area and friendliness of staff.Medium sized menu with many things to choose from. We tried the Tabbouleh, good but a bit on the small size and can use more parsley and less bulgar wheat. The fresh spicy mango dish was unique and refreshing. The local sausages were tasty and the Manakeesh were excellent. We had the white cheese one and the spinach cheese one, both baked very nicely and generously topped/stuffed.The water jugs infused with lemon and mint are a nice touch, until you realize they charge you for them!Good overall breakfast experience! Recommended!

Nothing is as authentically Lebanese as Bourj Al Hamam, a restaurant known throughout the region for fine Lebanese cuisine. Starters including Goat’s Cheese Salad, Hummus and Muhammara, and Lamb’s Tongue Salad are too tempting to pass up, especially for t

Reviewed By LaTigre74

One of the best Lebanese restaurant out there. They have great appetiser, salad, main dish, and nice selection of drink, including traditional Lebanese drinks, and Shisha, not so much on dessert choices though. Their lamb dishes are super, tasteful without the strong smell of lamb itself. Everything we ordered were good, but the sea bass dish was heavenly. The restaurant's atmosphere and setting is also nice and pleasant. We stayed at the InterContinental for 3 nights, didn't go to Bourj Al Haman until the last night. Should had gone there from the very first day.Dear LaTigre74Hello from Bourj Al Hamam and thank you so much for your great detailed review and the recommendation. Glad to know you enjoyed your experience with us especially the food and service. Please visit us back again anytime and enjoy our delicious food choices at Intercontinental.Best Regards,Sharif W.
