DANA HILLS RESTAURANT

Located in the tourist area of the Archaeological Museum, this restaurant may not be the best table in Madaba, but it serves quite decent food and the staff is lovely. The house specialty is sajiyeh, a lamb (or chicken, and sometimes even beef, though it's less available in these parts) dish cooked over a wood fire in shreds with onions and peppers in a clay dish. Don't be put off by the busloads of tourists who arrive here and let yourself be tempted.
