Go and try all the great mezee they have to offer!!!! Absolutely delicious! So far the best restaurant in Aqaba. You can also have a taste of "shisha" (waterpipe) while drinking a delicious strawberry juice! The staff is lovely and it´s not difficult to find as right in the centre!

The food at the Ali Baba Restaurant is just amazing. We ate there 3 nights in a row and the food was fantastic each time.

The quality of the food cannot be dismissed it is very food. It just seems that every person who is not from Jordan eats here. It is the very safe option. I do not think £4.50 for a can of beer very good value. There are much better places to eat

I was expecting better food quality... As Lebanese I can say they need to work more on their Lebanese cuisine... Grilled meat was good... Tabbouleh was nothing like tabbouleh... It should be more clean....
