About La Jordania Restaurant And Shisha Lounge

Tucked off Orchid Avenue, La Jordania delivers hearty Arabian comfort food alongside late-night shisha in Surfers Paradise. Diners settle into the quieter dining room for heaping platters of spiced lamb mandi and shawarma slicked with tahini, or grab low-slung lounge seats out on the terrace where coal runs stay steady over late rounds of cards. Weekend evenings bring a celebratory pulse—live Jordanian drums, Arabic tracks, and belly dancing fill the open air while bowls of garlic dip and warm flatbread keep hitting the tables.

  • Dual-Zone Lounging: Choose between a quiet indoor dining room and an energetic outdoor terrace with lounge seating and continuous coal service.
  • Live Cultural Entertainment: Weekend evenings ramp up with live Arabic music, Jordanian drums, and belly dancing.
  • Generous Arabian Feasts: Generous platters center on tender slow-cooked lamb mandi, seasoned shawarma, and fresh flatbread with dips.
