About La Jordania Restaurant And Shisha Lounge

Tucked just off Cavill Avenue, La Jordania delivers hearty Middle Eastern feasts paired with an electric late-night lounge pulse. Settle into the quieter dining room for slow-cooked lamb mandi—fork-tender meat resting over spiced rice alongside warm bread and creamy garlic dips. Out on the patio, the energy ramps up as card games, smooth shisha, live Arabic music, and rhythmic drumbeats stretch dinner well into the evening.

  • Hearty Halal Feasts: Slow-cooked lamb mandi, sizzling chicken skewers, and loaded shawarma platters built for sharing.
  • Outdoor Shisha Terrace: Lounge seating with card games, live Arabic rhythms, and table coal service late into the night.

  • Lamb Shawarma Plate

    Lamb Shawarma Plate ($35.99): It’s served with crinkle cut fries, pita breads, salad, and 2 kinds of sauces (tahini and garlic). The lamb strips taste absolutely perfect, fairly succulent, and great in portion.

  • Pick Indoor or Outdoor Seating Based on Vibe

    The venue offers distinct environments: the indoor dining area is quiet and relaxed for conversation, while the outside lounge is loud and festive with Arabic music, drums, and shisha. Choose your table zone to match your evening's vibe.

  • Expect Peak Weekend Waits and Reserve Early

    Friday and weekend nights during peak holiday periods can bring full house crowds and ticket wait times around 45 minutes for food. Book in advance or visit during midweek evenings for a faster, relaxed meal.

  • Portions Are Generous—Plan to Share
