At this broadly Middle Eastern restaurant in Long Beach, you’ll find more familiar items like hummus, shawarma and kebabs on the menu, but you can also track down harder-to-find dishes like mansaf, a dish many consider to be the national dish of Jordan. Available only by pre-order, Ammatoli dutifully reproduces this traditional Arab dish, which consists of lamb in a goat’s milk yogurt sauce atop a bed of yellow rice and strips of pita bread. According to the Los Angeles Times, there’s no better mansaf in Southern California than the version served at Ammatoli.
