Having been to Jordan twice for a total of 4 weeks, we’ve had the privilege of experiencing many of the best dishes, drinks, snacks, and mezzes that this country has to offer.

Every place you go in Jordan will have its own take on the delightful Middle Eastern staple of Hummus. It is downright delicious and shouldn’t be missed.
Mouttabal is a staple in Jordanian cuisine that is served as mezze – think Spanish tapas – with most meals. It closely resembles its Middle Eastern cousin, baba ghanoush.
This sweet, yet a bit savory treat is made by combining a crunchy filo wheat dough with a creamy cheese that is covered with a sweet syrup that tastes like honey.
