Falooda is such a nice treat. This sweet noodle is usually served in the shops selling ice cream, fruit juice, etc in cities like Shiraz, Kerman, etc.

The Shirazi version looks like noodles whereas Kermani version is small round pieces. Both are delicious. Some add lemon juice to it and some sour cherry juice.

I’m happy you like this Iranian restaurant at your town.

I noticed these comments are from 2006. Is this place still open? Are there any other Iranaian restaurants in Amman?

[...] the only places I know that serves Faloodha ice cream is Baba Taher and the little shop under it on the ground floor called Marafie (I think). Now we have another [...]

Last Eid, the 3rd day, me and my lady couldn’t find a single spot in kuwait for lunch. I told her “here’s a shot in the dark, I’ll take to this place I haven’t been to since like 10 years and I don’t know if its open or closed for good”. We went there, got a table and enjoyed a fine food on a busy eid day without any hassle. I owe baba taher a big one !!

as i mentioned in my review, the kebab and rice is amazing. havent tried the tikka or taouk and wouldnt even bother trying it there since its not really an iranian special. for tikka i would go to an indian restaurant and for taouk a lebanese one.

Mark, after reading this review I went finally went there last night and I was not impressed at all! The place is okay but the food was a huge disappointment.

We ordered a lentil soup which was nothing great I’ve had much better at Canary and other smaller restaurants. Then we asked for a yoghurt which was too sour. The laban we ordered was made with the same yogurt and was also too sour.

The mixed grill came with two ribs (good), a chicken tawouk (bland), a measly skewer of tiny pieces of meat (*way* too small – the smallest fucking tikka I’ve ever seen), three kebabs (a bit greasy but decent) and some okay fries. It cost 6 KD for that – that’s about a KD per piece! I’ve definitely had much better at tons of other places!

By far the best thing about the meal was the rice. Really great!

Maybe it was because it was Ramadan and there was no one else around, or the chef was not well or something, but I am NEVER going back!

There is a place Near Kabab Al-Hoja ( Esteqlal Str ) . Same taste, But you better pack the food for Take Away. Both are the same in Taste, but Baba Taher is better when it comes to eat in the Restuarant.

For a second there i thought you were talking about Shatir Abbas… (v.bad)… But yes, This is one of the very few iranian restaurants that i would order from, infact its my prefered one. Thanks for the pics, i never knew they had a decent furniture and decore, I thought it was like the typical iranian restaurants full of only men, you know, like the iranian restaurants that are located in Amman street (i think thats it), between old salmiya and Rumathiya.
