Green Valley Restaurant Jerash

When in Jerash enjoy lunch or dinner at Green Valley Restaurant, located at the main route south of the archaeological site Jerash. The ambience is nice, the staff friendly and the food is tasty with the typical mezze like hummus and fattoush, and as main course grilled meat is to recommend.
