Your Ultimate Street Food Crawl in Downtown Amman

If you’re walking around downtown Amman and your stomach starts rumbling, you need this street food guide. These are the spots you don’t want to miss, all easy to grab on the go.

1. Mansaf in a Cup

Toward the Roman Theater, there’s a tiny shop with no banner, but you will know it by the smell. You’ll get Jordan’s national dish in a cup here: rice, lamb, flatbread, and tangy jameed sauce stacked up together. Hearty, filling, perfect for eating while you roam.

2. Kunafa from Habibah Sweets

One of the “musts.” The kunafa here is crispy, cheesy, and soaked in syrup. It features all the textures and sweet vibes. Habibah Sweets is the legendary dessert stop in downtown for good reason.

3. A Cone of Fries at Crunchy Batata

Need something salty? Crunchy Batata’s cone of fries + dips is your go-to. Walking + eating never felt so satisfying.

4. Fresh Chips from MZMZ

Thick, crunchy chips served fresh with dips on the side. Totally snackable. Fun to share… or eat all by yourself (we won’t tell).

5. Mixed Mozzarella Corn Dog

A playful street twist: corn dog stuffed with mozzarella. Crispy outside, cheesy inside. One of those snack moments that makes you close your eyes and enjoy.

6. Sugarcane Juice From Sugarcane Downtown

Want something refreshing? Sugarcane Downtown is your answer. Fresh sugarcane juice — cold, sweet, natural — it’s the perfect drink break after munching through all those snacks. Great for beating the heat and cleaning your palate.

7. Churros from Churrios Jordan

You called it, churros! Hot, cinnamon-sugary, and perfect for dipping. Crunchy outside, soft inside; pair them with chocolate or caramel and you’ve got the ideal street dessert.
