During our stay at the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea, we had the pleasure of dining multiple times at Rehan Lebanese Restaurant. Over the course of two breakfasts and two dinners, we enjoyed an incredible selection of authentic Lebanese flavors. We were impressed by the impeccable service and welcoming atmosphere that made every meal feel special.
A Breakfast to Savor
Each morning, we were treated to a lavish breakfast spread that featured a variety of fresh, high-quality ingredients. From flaky pastries to traditional Middle Eastern dishes, the selection was impressive. We particularly enjoyed the assortment of fresh fruits, cheeses, and hot items, all beautifully prepared and presented. It was the perfect way to start our days by the Dead Sea.
First Dinner at Rehan Lebanese Restaurant: A Feast of Flavor
For our first dinner at Rehan, we were excited to explore the menu’s selection of Lebanese specialties. We began with hummus, and it was one of the creamiest, most flavorful versions we’ve ever had. The texture was smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced with olive oil and warm bread. Alongside it, we enjoyed a side of crispy French fries, a simple but satisfying addition to our meal.
For our mains, my wife opted for fish, which was perfectly cooked with delicate seasoning that allowed the natural flavors to shine. I chose the mixed grill, a delicious combination of chicken, and beef skewers. The meat was expertly grilled and bursting with smoky, savory goodness. To finish, we shared a milk cream dessert, which was light, creamy, and subtly sweet, making for a perfect ending to an already outstanding meal.
A Farewell Dinner to Remember
Our final dinner at Rehan was not just a meal—it was a celebration. As the farewell dinner for our tour, it was a fitting way to conclude an incredible journey through Jordan.
The meal began with freshly baked bread and a delightful selection of cold mezzes, including hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, and other flavorful appetizers. Every bite was a reminder of why Lebanese cuisine is so beloved—the freshness of the ingredients and the perfect balance of spices and textures.
For the main course, we were served grilled kebabs, each skewer cooked to perfection and infused with the rich, aromatic flavors that define Lebanese grilling techniques. The variety of meats, combined with the array of accompanying dishes, made for an unforgettable dining experience.
