I red the reviews before going there but unfortunately not find what I expected. True they have huge location but that is it. Service is tooooo slooow. Foods are not really cheap and tasteless things. People was never minded and the owner is looking unconcerned and very foxy. Sorry but never again. Little Tips ; at the same Street you... More

Good traditional food for reasonable price. We get lots of bread and appetisers included so only order a main dish as you won't want any more. Upstairs has a nice view of the mosque.

On a street with lots of restaurants, and with a great view of a beautiful mosque (lit up at night), the Syrian Palace offers a varied menu of mainly Arabic dishes, and is popular with locals and tourists alike. The staff are extremely welcoming and helpful, even to the point of varying the menu to suit our tastes. We enjoyed... More

Our last night in Jordan and we chose the Syrian Palace after seeing it while walking around town. It's situated right by the mosque, so we sat outside and listened to the call to prayer during sunset-- it was really lovely. Really great people watching spot as well. My husband and I ordered two of the mains and we literally... More

Huge portions, delicious food and cheap price, do you want more? Really good Jordanian cuisine with prompt and courteous service, the waiters speak english. DO NOT choose from the set menu, but choose some mezze and a main course, you'll eat much more and you'll pay much less. The lemon and mint is really delicious as everybody here say. It's... More

The food is great and authentic, there are many locals eating there, and all locals we met told us that the restaurant is great! The food is tasty, authentic and inexpensive! We... More

We chatted to the son of the owner of the restaurant, who also works as a very talented sand artist, and since I hadalso read great things about the place, we decided to have our last dinner on our last day of vacation here. It also turned out to be the best and most inexpensive dinner we had in Aqaba,... More

Delicious food, a nice view and good service. Good atmosphere inside, but even better outside with the local mosque across the street, ocean view and herbs growing next to the tables.This place can be recommended.

I've been here in this restaurant last 2010. The ambiance and the foods are great. I love to mansaf, maqlubeh traditional jordanian dish. The table was so inviting with a touch of beach sands and corals covered by a glass. I wish someday I could go back here in aqaba again. Life is exciting and truly remarkable. MABROUK!!!

It has an indoor seating but best to sit on the street walk. We ordered a mix grill, and a lamb. Excellent food quality and prices were very reasonable. Came with hummus and qhubz (bread) good view of he local mosque
