Petra Cafe

Ohmagosshhh!!! How did I not discover Petra earlier living in Indy for 3.5 years? We ordered a veggie wrap and gyro platter (all for only $29 By the way) through the Yelp order process and our food was ready as promised in 20 minutes. What was originally planned as a quick bite while driving back home turned into a savoring and enjoying every single bite. And yes, I have tried a variety of Middle Eastern cuisine (also lived in Middle East for more than 15 years). The lamb was succulent, the garlic sauce was lick worthy and the rice was a flavor packed addition to the platter. The quantity for $29 was so huge that I ended up having lunch today and I still could not get over how tasty and delicious the food was! Petra is a gem, takeout or dine in this is now on my list for anyone who visits Indy and a great filling lunch/dinner option. 5/5

If you're in the mood for some top-notch Greek and Mediterranean chow, this is your go-to. Being a vegetarian, my options can be sorta limited, but their Falafel Sandwich/Wrap Combo is my jam. It comes with fries, a drink, and your pick of sauce. You walk in, and bam! The smell of fresh falafels hits you. And when I finally got my mitts on that sandwich? Generous doesn't even begin to describe the serving size. Plus, the colors popping out of the wrap were a feast for the eyes. The falafels themselves? Crispy goodness on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. Oh, and don't even get me started on the fries. Most of the time, they're seasoned to perfection and make an awesome sidekick to the falafel wrap. There have been a few times when they skimped on the seasoning, but hey, nobody's perfect, right? But hold up, because we're not done. You HAVE to try their hummus. It’s the real deal. And the pita? Soft as a cloud and so fresh it could’ve been baked by angels or something. Every bite you take is like a mini flavor explosion in your mouth. So, all in all, Petra Cafe on Mass Ave is a winner in my book. Whether you're there for the rich flavors, diverse menu, or just the downright welcoming atmosphere, it's hard to leave disappointed. If you're on the hunt for a meal that's not just filling but also packs a flavor punch, you've got to check this place out.

Lovveee love love coming in here after a night out or for brunch. the guys who work here are always and cracking jokes and smiles. food is delicious and their portions are good. their restaurant is a lil small so when it gets crowded (and it does often!!) its a bit uncomfortable. but it's always worth it

i just want to say that this is the BESTTTT middle eastern restaurant in downtown indy. the food is always so flavorful and i love the staff that works there. any time i eat out, it’s here and it always hits the spot. good food, good portion size, good vibez overall. can not recommend this place enough and i could write another paragraph on the gyro and shawarma alone.

My food came super quick, and had steam coming out of the box. I got the lamb kabobs, and this had to be one of the best meals I ever tried. The lamb was seasoned perfectly and tasted freshly grilled. The rice was so flavorful and the tzatziki sauce was creamy and fresh. I can't wait to order from here again.

Cozy yet warm and welcoming restaurant, small very clean dining area. Great staff with great service. We ordered 2 phily steak combos, a mixed kebab & lamb kebab. Food tasted absolutely delicious and authentic.. everything thing tasted great and delicious, meats were cooked the right way they should, salads were amazing and rice was great... every bite was full of flavour. Dish prices are very reasonable compared to portions served and quality of food. We had a wonderful time and experience and we highly recommend this restaurant especially for those seeking authentic high quality food.

So glad we came to Petra Cafe this chilly, rainy Sunday! The Falafal sandwich was freshly prepared, hot, with just the right amount of toppings! The star of our late lunch though was the Lentil Soup! It was delicious! Definitely, will come again, and next time I won’t share the soup with my husband! 😄
