I am a HUGE fan of Mediterranean food and hence jumped on the first opportunity to go to Aqaba.
High-ceiling- spacious - white, blue and tan interiors - 3D butterflies on the walls and those magical white trees.
Walking into Aqaba was a visual delight, though not very middle east looking.
Located at Peninsula business park, it was the perfect choice for our team outing. 12 hungry people!
We ordered a lil bit of everything and here's my take on it:
- smoked minestrone soup: smoked to perfection it was flavourful
- chicken shorba: hearty and packed with goodbess
- rasberry slush: i'm not too fond of slush abd i found it a bit too sweet
- hummus and pita bread: hummus was awesome, pita was fresh
- greek salad: yum!
- watermelon and feta salad: served in a bowl rather than a mound, it could do with a bit more cheese
- chicken shish taouk: cooked to perfection and served with generous amount of veggies
- stuffed grilled bell peppers: looked delicious but didn't get to try
- chicken gyro: needed a bit more tzatziki sauce but the paprika sprinkled fries by the side won my heart
- mediterranian pizza: yes, it had hummus, tomatoes, olives and i loved it
- greek pizza: again a must have for the burst of flavours
- spinach and ricotta ravioli: ravioli was a bit doughy for my liking but the sauce was perfect
- pink sauce pasta: passable
- baked cheesecake: served with blueberry sauce, its melt in the mouth
- tiramisu: i've had much better
- chocolate fondant: brilliant and the only chocolate dish on the menu
- rose petal ice cream: subtle in flavour
The staff was friendly. Prices are a bit on the higher side (about 1350 pp without alcohol). But i would love to go here again for dinner when the magical trees are lit up!
Tips
#1. Go here in a large group to make to most of their extensive menu!
#2. Don't be lost. Aqaba is located at Peninsula Business park - which is a newly opened office complex and not Peninsula Corporate Park. Both of these flank the main road!
