I frequently visit Petra to indulge in their delectable hummus with lamb. The hummus itself carries a delightful smoky essence and boasts an exquisite flavor. The succulent, juicy lamb is impeccably grilled and seasoned to perfection. The restaurant's service is commendable, catering effortlessly to both large groups and individuals.
After some quick google searches, we came across this spot which if you drive to fast - will have you headed to downtown like us. One U-turn and 10 minutes late, we made it here and was greeted with a warm smile and freshly grilled pita bread which is amazing to eat after walking around all day. I got the Petra Mix, and the meat was very tender and very flavorful. The place was very clean and has a beautiful courtyard, plus the service is very quick. I highly recommend!
The mansaf is delicious, really good; however, it's not the case for the so called maqlouba and the falafel sandwich which is sub par.
The maqlouba had nothing to do with that famous dish.
We stopped there for lunch for the first time. We ordered tabula, mixed appetizer plate, chicken shawrma plate with fries and salad and lamb mansaf. Lamb mansaf was my favorite. It would be the only thing I would order next time. The garlic sauce that came with shawrma was great too. Good place to have food for families. Service was alright. Portions are pretty big. Overall, good and healthy Mediterranean and Jordanian food. I definitely recommend.
The food is just amazing, I had Mansaf and Arayes
We had a wonderful dinner at Petra Restaurant! They have many delicious food options and kind, attentive staff.
Ok! Pretty darn good Mediterranean restaurant in this part of Tampa. The service was extremely quick, thorough, and welcoming. The menu had plenty of options without being overwhelming. And the food was cooked extremely well! From the nabulsi/halloumi cheese to the tender lamb chops to the lentil soup to the grilled chicken. We enjoyed our meal and will happily return soon.
Petra Restaurant is a Middle Eastern dining experience that truly transports your taste buds. The flavors are authentic, the ambiance is cozy, and the service is exceptional. From their delectable kebabs to the aromatic rice dishes, every bite is a journey to the heart of Middle Eastern cuisine. Whether it's a special occasion or a casual meal, Petra never disappoints. A must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable Middle Eastern feast!
Halal and yummy food. They serve Mediterranean food. I like the fact that the food quality is kid of consistence. Also, they have a wide selection of food such as Mansaf (glad they serve it daily now), Mandi, Mahashi, Shawarma (checking and beef), Falafel… etc. Surely, I recommend this place.
Best of the best spot for some middle eastern food. Their starters are off the the chart. While you're order is getting ready they serve free bread and free spices mixed with red chilli sauce and oil which tastes amazing. They accommodate birthday parties or any celebration and the prices are very reasonable.
