Best Maqluba
in Amman
Maqluba is a heartwarming Levantine dish that is a staple of family Friday lunches across Amman. Ask for **'maqluba dajaj'** (chicken) or **'maqluba laham'** (meat) and expect a theatrical table-side flip of the pot. The dish consists of meat, rice, and fried vegetables like eggplant and cauliflower layered together and slow-cooked until tender. A typical serving in Amman costs between 6 JOD and 12 JOD in traditional neighborhood eateries. The trap is ordering Maqluba that hasn't been cooked in the pot, resulting in a pile of rice that lacks the integrated, savory depth of the traditional method.
