Green chilli pepper in restaurants
by polakita
They give it as a side dish to every dish. It is green and fresh or marinated, in items. The fresh one is SOOOO HOT that you will cry even without eating it, just touching it with your tongue. It is not made for european mouth. The marinated one is also too hot. If you like extra hot, you may try to have them, but with lots of food and water at hand! Food itself is not very hot, but seasoned with some oriental spices. In general, food in Jordan is VERY GOOD.

Spice things up a bit
by TheWanderingCamel
There are a number of herb and spice shops scattered around Jordan. You can always tell when you are near one from the marvellous aromas drifting outward.
Don't miss having a look inside at least one of them, you will probably find yourself buying something from the sheer fascination of it.

restaurant 1, abdoun - amman
by call_me_rhia about the blue fig
A different Amman: this is upscale Amman - where the young, hip and rich people go. it's a restaurant like many others... the people, the music, the food... all seems familiar... until you remember you are in Amman. Only then you notice the mix-gender parties and uncovered heads. Refreshing - yet somehow unreal. Futuristic let's face it - the food is nothing to write home about - except for arab bread. You go to the Blue Fig to see the people - thousands of light years apart from the people in downtown Amman
