We came across Kawon by chance. It was a wonderful calm oasis. Choice of seating areas either at the front or down the steps to the rear garden. Our lunch was delicious. A beautiful salad full of delicious flavour. In fact it was so good that we returned again the next day. The owner Gaith who also runs the adjoining bookshop explained how to use the local ingredients and we intend to use some of these spices in our own cooking at home. We wish him every success in his venture. Make sure if you are ever in Madaba you take time out to visit Kawon.

A site that offers a dining experience in the heart of a 65 million-year-old cave inhabited by ancient civilizations 25,000 years ago
Reviewed By jeremybH8782XG
Interesting venue but the underground level of the cave - the main reason we decided to go - was not available for seating when we visited. Food is a bit overpriced and nothing special. Taxes and 10% service charge are excluded from menu prices. Service leaves something to be desired.

Our guide brought us here and we were clearly expected: after a splendid assortment of meze there was a theatrical flourish as an enormous pot was upended onto a serving dish. The contents were a superb chicken and rice concoction beautifully seasoned with cinnamon and much else, very moreish and several of us had 'seconds'. This was home cooking at its best. I got the impression that this was the dish of the day, but there may have been other menu items on offer. It's an attractive, homely place and our hostess Ferial was charming and friendly. Well worth a visit.

We had 2 appetizers: the halloumi and the local sausages. The halloumi was served in a sizzling iron pan topped with chopped tomatoes and olives. It was delicious and a well balanced appetizer with the rubbery squeeginess of the salty halloumi mixing well with the sweetness of the tomatoes. The local sausages were wolfed down by my children in seconds! The sausages were deliciously peppery contrasted with the tangy lemon garlic sauce. For mains we had the meat saljiah which was sublime! Tender spiced minced lamb cooked in this delectable tomato-onion gravy. The burst of flavor in the mouth had us fighting to get the last bite. Last but not least was the maftool pottery which was a stew of cous cous, chicken, onions and chickpeas. Absolute comfort food and reminded me of home cooking. We truly recommend this place although it is pricey.
