Born from the heart of Jordanian hospitality and the soul of Peruvian tradition, Don Poio is where time-honored techniques meet uncompromising quality.

Family-run integrity

We lead with passion, treating our guests like an extension of our own family.

100% homemade

No industrial shortcuts. No store-bought substitutes. If it's on your plate, we made it from scratch.

The art of patience

We respect the time — the 48-hour marinade and the 5-hour slow-cook — required to achieve the perfect smoky flavor.

Global ambition

Born in Jordan, inspired by Peru, and destined for the world.

Our mission

To bring the heart of Jordanian hospitality and the soul of Peruvian-inspired rotisserie to the world. As a local, family-run brand born in Amman, Don Poio is dedicated to the patient art of the flame, blending traditional South American flavors with our signature 5-hour slow-cooking technique.

Our kitchen is built on a foundation of 100% homemade preparation and a total rejection of industrial shortcuts.
