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.

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.

The overall rating is ok/good, but few things on menu are hit and miss. The people running shop are good and welcoming. The kabobs are good, the lamb meat quality wasn't up to the mark.
The mansaf was very good though.

This is the best arabic place !!! We went there on sunday and ordered the family barbecue it was amazing! The meat cubes was very tough though but over all it was amazing. The hummus is perfect and the baba gannoush was delicious. I would definitely go back again. The girl was so nice and welcoming

Another fine restaurant and dining experience! My wife had the Petra Mix with babaganoush and the hummus, I had the Turkish kabob with the babaganoush and small salad. Delicious. All of the flavors complemented each other smoothly while also pronouncing themselves when eaten individually. The service was fast, friendly and polite. Looking forward to eating again!

A Tampa staple. Mansaf and beef shawarma platter unbeatable

First time going here and it did not disappoint. Delicious Mediterranean food with great prices. We had the Hummus, Beef Shawarma Sandwich and Chicken Shawarma Sandwich. Everything was delicious. The Hummus came with Pita Bread and a side of spices with olive oil and pickled veggies SO GOOD!! The Beef Shawarma was also amazing. The restaurant looked clean and the service was great as well. I will definitely be back to try more Mediterranean dishes.

If you're looking to try something different this restaurant is so good, I love Turkish and Arabic food specifically kibes which in Dominican Republic we call Quipe..I teach my kids to try and learn about food from different places, how they taste and how wide flavors and food choices can be ..we got falafel for my daughter and she love them because she doesn't like a lot of meat..
We got kibes, cucumbers 🥒 and 🍅 salad, beef kabad, mansaf (love the rice it tasted like it was cooked with rose water and have yellow raisins which give a salty and sweet flavor combination🥰) , pita bread was hot and delicious and a chicken sandwich..
We visited on a week day so not to many people.. place was clean and service was great..it looks like a mom and pop restaurant (family own) there is like three or two more locations in Tampa.. but we visited the one in Bush

Great place to have a group lunch. Cost was mid - about $100 for 5 people with appetizer, drinks, salad, etc.... We got there 3 pm Sunday and the service was fast. We shared the Grill Boat which comes with hummus, chicken, beef, lamb.... all good but a bit dry. Sauces are excellent and salads great. We also got the falafel appetizer. Best falafel I've had in a while...
