Jordanian cuisine reflects Levantine culinary tradition, built around rice, lamb, yogurt, and flatbread. Hospitality remains deeply embedded in Jordanian food culture, with generous portions considered a sign of respect toward guests.

Mansaf, lamb cooked in a fermented dried yogurt sauce served over rice, is widely regarded as Jordan's national dish. Mezze spreads of hummus, falafel, and fresh vegetables commonly accompany larger meals.
