This Restaurant has everything! And you don’t have to speak a single word of Arabic to get a good meal. The Alhamra’a Restaurant looks like a McDonald's Restaurant from the outside and like a Kebab shop in the entrance. Don’t let that fool you. This is a large complex that includes the following:
• Fast Food (shwarmas, etc.)
• Full Service, but fast restaurant
• Family orientated restaurant
• Lovely garden area with a large fountain
• Dinning hall for large events
• Prayer area
• Clean Toilets and wash area
• Hygienic cooking areas/staff
Above all it has great food! And the best part is this:
Where the cashier is located is one real example of every food item and drink they do, covered up. They do this every day. You can see what they make, as they make it, and the price is written on each one. Look closer at the 2nd picture. Great food, great prices and the staff could not be more friendly. They do local dishes and do them well. A fantastic experience and worth a visit. Enjoy.
I am not normally a lover of Lamb, but the oven roasted lamb was excellent and a kebab here is to die for. Everything is made fresh and hot. Ask the staff if you can take a picture and they will pose for you!

Once again I cant give a correct description about a specific location because I want to make this tip about being in a restaurant with men and women. The Middle East restaurant scene may seem complex due to different seating areas but if you follow the rules and have a heads up from the locals then your experience may be one of your favorite aspects of the Middle East. Women generally sit with their family members in the family room and men are strongly discouraged from sitting in the area if you are travelling by yourself. If you meet some locals and they invite you to accompany them in the family room then that is perfectly acceptable and chances are you will have your meal paid for. In general, ask the waiter or deskman where you should sit and take your lead from the local single men. Leave a Comment Theme: Local

Oddly enough it was very difficult to find restaurants that specialized in Arab cuisine. Oriental and Indian restaurants outnumber all others (at least that was the state of things when my parents left in 1995).
In general, the style and taste of the oriental restaurants is close to American Chinese and Japanese, but with slightly different flavors and better quality. No strange un-meat-like meat here and the portions are twice as big! There are also many great Indian, Philipino, Thai and Korean places to eat. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

If you are like me, travel cheap & eating cheap or you just don't care to find a restaurant around The Middle East, you might as well sample some street breads as featured on my photo on the left.
Get yourself a bottle of mineral water & buy 1 or 2 of those breads & munch away !
Definitely would give you some energy that you need.
Err, maybe that would give you an upset stomach ?
Certainly not to me !

BREAKFAST
- "the bakery", but it's not called like this, since the sign is only in arabic. It sells gigantic chocolate croissants and cakes
Directions: sharia al quwatli. As u leave the Cairo hotel, turn left and walk about 3 blocks. It's the shop with the fake marble front
FULL MEALS AND SNACKS
- "al Marakheb Bridge restaurant" is a nice restuarant on the river facing the norias. Great mezzes and nice cups of chai. They might also serve full meals.
Directions: al Marakheb Bridge on the orontes river, near sharia abu al feda, where the microbuses depart.

the restaurant is actually the cleanest -looking of all restaurants in Palmyra, and the place where the few tourists seemed to eat. Fortunately the food was quite good, and the owner friendly
the shish kebab was extremely delicious, the falafel ok and the hummus well, acceptable. However, but I did not taste it, the restaurant specialises in traditional beduin mensaff... the other people at the restaurant really seemed to love it Leave a Comment Theme: Middle EasternPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: SyriaPhone: 031 911066Directions: sharia al-quwatli, behind hotel Palmyra

FULL MEALS
- "shahrazad palace" is not touristic and has an unwritten menu that changes every day. The shish taouk was great
- "Jabri house" is quiet touristic but has a menu written in English, which is helpful. mezzes are great there.
- "Narcissus Palace" like the two previous resstaurants is in an old traditional Damascene Palace. Nice food there, too.
TAKE-AWAY
- "El Az" has unforgettable shwarmas for 25 syrian pounds
DESSERTS
- "ice-cream" doesn't sell ice-creams but delicious rosewater puddings topped with pistachops for 25 Syrian pounds each
see above - or my Damascus page. They are all in the centre - with the exception of the take-away - near Hejaz station Leave a Comment Theme: Middle EasternComparison: about averageAddress: Syria

Maybe a bit too expensive for a full meal - but definitely worthy for an afternoon tea in historical surroundings. It's a wonderful old palace/hotel - a piece of Turkish history, basically.

The restaurant.. ugly.. all I can say.... then again at thedead sea you can only eat at posh hotels, since there's nothing else. so this one is just as good (or as bad) as any other one. The food, however, was quite good - despite the plastic surroundings.
there was some delicious arab bread with onions.. and some salty pastries (with onions again) that were delicious Leave a Comment Theme: Middle EasternPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: JordanDirections: Salt Land Village, Po Box 184194, Deas Sea
