We would recommend the kabab dish, the seeneyeh kafta, and the “Beteinjan Rehaneh” aubergines dish.
Roba: Located in the 3rd floor of the Mecca Mall extension, this stand-alone Lebanese restaurant might as well be the best Lebanese food place in town, minus the fact that they don’t serve kubbeh nayeh (darn).
Their food though is quite delicious, very flavorful and always cooked to yuminess. We usually order their Kabab and kafta dishes, although we have tried their arayes and most of their cold mezzas, which are similarly pretty delicious. Yet yumminess aside, my favorite part about Rehaneh is that they always go the extra mile so that their food is made to not only please your taste buds, but to also please your eyes.
Add to that, Al-Rehaneh is the only suggestion that might make the mall-despising Moose agree to go to the mall.
Definitely recommended, if not for the delicious food and great prices, then for the friendly staff.
Moose: Other than the fact that it is in the mall, and malls are just plain evil, this is one of the best dinning options in Amman. The food is excellent – a family member who was visiting from overseas rated their food much higher than Tannureen (a fancy-shmancy Lebanese restaurant), and the menu offers some options that are hard to find at other places; the “Sinyyett Koftah” dish that is as close to home cooking as possible. The complementary stuff – a plate of boiled almonds, a collection of fresh vegetables, and a dessert plate – add value to the already cheap prices and gives a feeling of being an appreciated guest. The atmosphere is not bad at all, and if you ignore the little kids jumping on the trampoline right outside, it is very similar to any fancy restaurant.
Finally, the fact that they don’t even have the 10% service charge added to the bill (I always wondered if this addition even makes it to the pockets of the waiters), paired with the excellent service, has you feeling pretty happy about giving a generous tip.
