For a quick meat sandwich in Jabal Amman, start with Reem at Second Circle. If you’re around Rainbow Street and want chicken, there’s Shawerma 3a Saj. Al Mousalli, Al Dayaa and Shanab have more options to compare, including meal boxes and different breads.

A small sandwich and a full meal can be quite different orders. Check the portion and what’s included before choosing on price alone. The Google scores here are for the named branches, so make sure you select the same location when ordering.

What to order on your budget

The smaller sandwich examples start at JOD 1.10 at Shanab and JOD 1.25 at Al Dayaa. Shawerma 3a Saj lists its 150g chicken saj sandwich at JOD 1.85. Portions and recipes differ, so these prices alone won’t tell you which order suits your appetite. A regular chicken meal is JOD 3.50 in both Al Mousalli’s website menu and Shanab’s delivery menu, before fees or extras.

Look at the bread and portion, then check the sides. Al Dayaa’s Lebnani, shrak and kmaj sandwiches are separate choices, for example. Ask the restaurant about ingredients or sauces if you need to, and treat the menu photos as promotional pictures: they don’t confirm the exact portion you’ll receive.
