A Foodie’s Guide to Samovar: Amman’s First Slavic Restaurant

Curious about trying something new? Samovar brings authentic Slavic flavors right to the heart of Amman! This cozy spot on Wasfi Al Tall Street introduces Eastern European classics that are comforting, hearty, and full of flavor. Definitely one to add to your foodie list.

What’s On The Menu?

Samovar’s menu is all about traditional Slavic comfort food. Their Pelmeni are tender dumplings stuffed with meat and served with cream, while the famous Chicken Kyiv (only JOD 5) is a must-try. It’s crispy chicken breast filled with garlic herb butter, served with creamy mashed potatoes.

If you’re in the mood for something different, try the Khinkali, Georgian dumplings bursting with spiced broth, or the Chebureki, golden fried pies filled with seasoned meat. You’ll also find Vareniki, soft dough stuffed with creamy mashed potatoes, making it the perfect comfort bite.

For starters, they’ve got classics like Beetroot Salad, Korean Carrot, and creamy Oliver Salad. Drinks are simple but traditional—refreshing Kompot fruit drink, Ayran, tea, or strong black coffee.

And dessert? A sweet lineup featuring flaky Napoleon Cake, nostalgic Oreshki cookies, and thin Russian Blinchik crepes stuffed with farmer’s cheese, cream, and jam.

How Much Does It Cost?

Here’s the price range you can expect:

• Chicken Kyiv meal: JOD 5.00
• Khinkali meal: JOD 5.00
• Appetizers: JOD 2.50
• Drinks: JOD 0.50 – 1.00
• Desserts: From JOD 2.25

What Makes It Special?

Samovar introduces a new Slavic dish every Saturday, giving you something fresh and exciting to try each week. You can enjoy the cozy, home-style vibes at the restaurant or order for delivery via Talabat.
