We tried the usual places; Ali Baba, Flokas and Captains but we were disapointed. At last we tried Syrian Palace next to the mosque on second floor and found a truly delicious restaurant with modest prices. The chicken ozi, the baba ganoush and the tabouli were fantastic and they had fresh sallads. We also liked the polo drink, mint and lemon. The place doesn´t serve alcohol. Locals as well as tourists seems to go here. Highly recommended!
Favorite Dish: Baba ganoush, ozi chicken, tabbouli and polo drink

Tatbeeleh is the best Shawerma in Aqaba ... I could even say it competes with Amman's best Shawerma stands.
Under 2$ you can have a wonderful meal here, there are only few tables as mainly people take out their meals.
Favorite Dish: Shawerma jaj - Or Chicken Shawerma is my favourite ...
They also have beef Shawerma, which I like too ...
You can have it in a sandwich wrap or a meal that comes with fries and pickles ...

The place is conveniently located in the heart of Aqaba, on a walking distance from all major hotels (inside the city)
A great collection of Mezze, chicken and beef plates as well as sea food and the famous local dish "Sayadeyeh"
The place also offers alcohol.
Favorite Dish: I love the Mezze selection they have.
Tabbouleh (a type of salad is my favourite) - prepared with chopped up parsley, cucumbers, tomatoes, couscous and lots of lemon juice.
Sayadeyyeh (a local dish/ sea food)- which consists of fresh fish on spicy rice- usually the amount they serve is too much for one person so if you're considering this dish get another smaller order on the side and it should be enough if you were two.
Also grilled fish is Yummy (ask for Najel- the best type of fish in the red sea i think!)

Ali Baba's is in the center of the beach area and is well known. The main shopping district is nearby too. We had the grilled shrimp with olive oil and garlic and others had the kabobs. Everything was very tasty. They bring you salads, olives, pickles, flat bread and hummus. They also serve ice cold beer here. We had Amstel. The service was excellent and no rushing you. Does get busy around 8:00 pm
Favorite Dish: Grilled prawns cooked to perfection.

The mese's were very good, the chicken soup was excellant (they put cheese in it) but we also ordered a kilo of "mixed grill".... it wasn't done... none of it, the kebab, chicken nor meat and they charged us 51 JD for it!! That is about 70US! They had nice shisha, nice atmosphere, but don't order the kebab!
Favorite Dish: chicken soup

Romero's is an Italian restaurant downstairs at The Royal Yacht Club, upstairs is the bar with balcony - fantastic views of the Gulf of Aqaba overlooking Eilat. The sun sets over Taba. Take your camera for some beautiful shots. After 7:00pm in the evening, water pipes with apple flavoured tobacco are available on the balcony. They have a Pool Table downstairs in the entry hall.
Favorite Dish: Large dinner salad with warm goat cheese and artichoke hearts with fresh bread from the Baker's oven with olives and an ice-old Heineken.

Although my major in uni is International Business, I have to admit that I know nothing much about it,but I do really appreciate the magic of globalisation. McDonald's has been part of my diet habit. It really impressed me a lot to see it here.
Favorite Dish: Thanks to localisation, I had McArabia in this restaurant. It was refreshing and vey nice comparing to tradtional meal, but it's a bit more expensive than other sets of meals in McDonald's.
But for this price, you may have a lot of food in local restaurant, so I think it's more expensive than average.
