Down the hill from ACOR and to the left a short distance are a shwarma stand, KFC, Popeye's, Pizza Hut, Chili House and a real McDonalds. These are legitimate franchise operations nearly up to US style, but with no pork products. Eating out is not an everyday activity in Jordan. Proper restaurants will be visited only for business affairs or family celebrations. Restaurant meals are later than normal American evening meal times. Fancier restaurants are typically open from 7:30 PM to midnight or 1 AM for dinner, with few people besides tourists appearing earlier than 9:30. A meal will cost JD 10 to JD 15 for two courses and beer or wine. The major hotels all have a variety of restaurants, but the best food is usually in non-hotel establishments. Reservations are rarely necessary, especially if you go early, but all restaurants will now and then be reserved for a party. At the other end of the scale is the shwarma stand, in most cases for carry-out only. Meat (usually a choice of beef or chicken) is wrapped in a small unleavened bread, with some vegetables and yogurt or other sauce. The "sandwich" is smaller than the equivalent gyro, donar kebab, or rolly-polly, but the price is right - JD .200 to JD .400. Stands will normally be open from before noon to fairly late in the evening, and usually sell soft drinks and water. In between are a growing number of informal restaurants, and fast food places. Many are oriental, with staples such as hummus or shwarma, but a growing number are western-style with hamburgers, pizza and chicken. Some are open all afternoon. Following are a selection of the better ones. Prices are inexpensive (JD 5 or less for a meal with a beer, if available) unless noted; medium (JD 10 or so); or high (JD 15 - 20).
