Reviews of Petra Restaurant
Next Level Explorer
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.
Derar (Reviewer)
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.
Sean Aguayo
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!
Iris Revollo
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.
denisse rodriguez
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
Hilary Morris
We came to Petra bcz we heard about their incredible mansaf. We were not disappointed...it was truly amazing... just like we had in Jordan! Chef Yousef and his staff were most welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend the mansaf at Petra near Busch Gardens (not avlb at downtown restaurant). The lamb is so flavorful and prepared perfectly with the yogurt gravy...even the bone marrow was wonderful. Enjoy!

I’ve tried a number of Middle Eastern restaurants in the area and they’ve all been more or less good. I tried Petra’s Chicken Shawarma and it was very tasty. Chicken, pickles, that garlic sauce, what’s not to like! The place is clean, service was good and the waitress friendly. I need to come back at night and try one of their main dishes.
Fred Zed
Babaganoush was amazing as was the Mandi rice. Great food and great staff.
Kouser Manzer
Our daughter took us there. Good Mediterranean food. We ordered two family platters which was more than enough for 12 of us.
LaMaria Wilson
Place is nice, enjoyed the food. The basmati rice was on the drier side but overall it was good.

Service was great (Male server)
Food was incredible!
We had a daily special and kufta kebab.
Review a year ago:
Food is good but service is very terrible. We come here very often (+10 times) after Jummah but today was the worst one (1pm on 03/19). The lady with the glasses never brought the bread that comes with the daily special DESPITE of several times of request.
Victoria Scholz
Definitely my favorite restaurant in Tampa! The hummus is beyond anything I've ever had, and the chicken schawarma plate is the BEST! It's a lot of food for a good price.
It doesn't look like much from the outside, and the times we have been there hasn't been busy, but that just means better and faster service for us. The other patrons appear to be Middle Eastern based on their apparel, and when natives are going there, you know it's good stuff. Just a reminder not to judge based on appearance, location, or how busy it looks.
I rave about Petra's every chance I get, and I try to take all my visitors here!
nir rogovski
I enjoyed my Petra meal but I will not confuse it with the real thing (middle eastern food IN the middle east). Petra strives to fill your stomach cheaply with big plates of middle eastern style food supplemented and boosted by lots of cheap carbs of pita bread, rice and fries, with an eye on saving anywhere it can and I mean anywhere. This is not a culinary experience but the traditional dishes are seasoned nicely and the bill was so low I wondered if they made a mistake. If you miss the food you'll be satisfied and if you are not familiar with the food it will give you a fair introduction, go hungry.

It was my first time there. I dont know their language so didn't know what to order. The server got offended because we asked her to speak English.
She did not bring any water or bread to our table. Didn't even ask us if we wanted anything to drink. She just brought our food and disappeared until she came back and put the check on the table, didn't say one word to us, just smiled and walked away. She spoke very clear English so I'm not sure why she got offended. I was so disappointed. I traveled all the way from Saint Pete to have dinner there because I had heard so much about this place. I really wanted to try their meat dishes but the waitress was having a bad day which crushed my experience, bummer...
We left and went somewhere else for desserts and coffee.
Katrina Sims
If I could rate it higher than 5 stars I would! The food here is always Amazing especially the chicken shawarma. The people who work here are also very friendly. I would definitely recommend coming here to eat!
Let me ink you Tattoo
first time here food was amazing service a lil slow on checking on your needs after food gets to your table.. you wait a long time to get your check. once you get your check then you wait a long time to cash out as they talk about their day and look at you 12 times before you wave them down to pay.
Alaa Abdulghani
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
O. Farag
One of the best arabic returnats at Florida, The owner, chef and everyone in this place is professional in trading the guests.
Portions are more than alot, and they are so generous.
10 out of 10 confidently.
Basit Ali
Our family has been coming here infrequently since 2012 and we like it. It's clean and service is good. One of the ladies who works here is extremely nice. Didn't see her on my most recent visit though. Food is quite tasty as well and prices are alright. The restrooms could be better maintained, however.
Mickey Itchon
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...
j h
I've ordered to go good before but this was my first time dinning in. The service was good but the food was a little disappointing. The garlic sauce tasted a little different, I didn't mind but my husband doesnt like mayo and he couldn't eat it cause he said it tasted like it had mayo in it. The rice was pale I guess they tan out of saffron...and the meat wasn't tender for the shish kebab.
Aiah Yassin
Delicious middle eastern food. Have been coming to this spot for over 15 years. Good home cooking. Daily specials and buffet during Ramadan.
Irma
OH MY! This place is DELICIOUS. Authentic. Fast service. Generous portions. Everything cooked to perfection. Highly recommend if you want to switch it up from the usual. Thank you Petra!!
Traveling Car Guru
I usually eat at the Greenlanda restaurant on 56th Street but this morning they were late to open so I went here to Petra for the first time. I liked the Petra much better with better food, better quantity and better price and way better service. The meat is so tasty, everything was perfect. I think Petra is going to be my stop from now on. No more bassi Greenlanda
Frances Rodríguez
The food is delicious. The soup is incredible! Simply love it!
Lawrence Forman
Jordanian food, where have you been my whole life? Finally got to try mansaf and I wasn't disappointed! Generous portions, friendly staff, and bold flavors.
Farrah Estrella
Great food! Authentic middle eastern food. Love the falafels and the hummus. Fresh! Everything tastes delicious.
Ali Dahmash
Great Arabic food, very clean and authentic
Daniel R (WARxEAGLEx)
Amazing food. We can't ever decide on appetizers so always get the sampler. The daily specials are also awesome.
Mary A
We are never disappointed. Chef Yousef adds his personal touch with authentic recipes. They have daily specials, take-out, and the best catering you’ll see in Tampa Bay.
Monty T
Delicious- we shared the Mansaf. It’s a large plate of rice with a lamb shank that’s been simmered in a yogurt sauce. We also had the vegetarian mixed appetizer of egg plant, hummus, grape leaves and falafel. Falafels were good- it was all good. The waitress was very nice from Morocco.
Hanno R
Our new favourite restaurant. Food was delicious and very friendly staff. Great atmosphere too, quiet and clean.
Kenneth Kokinakis
Fabulous experience. True Middle East Mediterranean food. We sought this restaurant out and we're not disappointed . We will. E back and you should check it out
Anaillan R (Ennah)
Everything is delicious. Definitely recommend it to everyone!
Ahmad Muhamad
Delicious food and exceptional service. Prices are lower than other places. Ordered chicken shawarma and meat mix grill and I’m very satisfied with everything.
So young McCollaum
Whenever we have a hankering for hummus and kebob, this is the restaurant we visit. My kids love the restaurant as much! Spacious, clean, family friendly, smiling staff, and quick service. But nothing beats the food they serve. We usually order Family Boat option which includes hummus, baba ghanouj, tomato and cucumber salad, a basketfull of pita bread, and a HUGE dish full of yellow rice covered with all kinds of kebob, grilled chicken, and marinated beef. Go there hungry!
Sanenyah “TipsyHomeschoolMom” Jordan
The food was amazingly authentic! The service and atomosphere was great. This is the place to go to try out Mediterranean food.
Ksenia Y.K.
The place is great, I love the people there. The food is awesome too, specially the mansaf. However, the location has room for improvement, which is why the 4 stars.
Faysal Dib
10 STARS. THE BEST Mediterranean food in Tampa, great service and delicious food, family oriented place. Strongly recommended at all times.
Jashna Kapadia
Great food. We ordered the classic falafel platter. And a hummus wrap? Both costed us around $12. Which is like really cheap. The falafel patties were delicious and crunchy. They sell baklavas too which is damn hard to find in florida. Classic Turkish food is a go here ❤️
Nellie
The Greek salad with Shish Kebah (lamb) was delicious and very well seasoned. The Greek salad didn't have much lettuce in it, however I didn't mind that I liked the chunkiest of the vegetables. It was a little run down as far as atomesphere goes but that didn't really bother me. Service was a little slow but they were attentive and keep me informed of when my food would be out. All in all I would say it was a good experience.
DatMallu Chic
The food here speaks volumes to the quality and authenticity of each dish. If you want the best chicken shawarma sandwich in Tampa, then come here!
It might not look fancy inside and it seems simple, but the food makes this place shine.
The chicken kebabs, hummus, garlic sauce…a meal which makes you truly content.
It can be busy here but all the servers are hardworking and do their best!
Everything was cooked to perfection.
Andre Preneur
Wow. Authentic delicious food, great prices, friendly staff. If you like middle eastern food this is the place to go. One thing to note is that the music played here is also authentic, so some people may find it different than what they are used to it. Personally I love everything about this place.
Fedwa Lutfi
I’m Palestinian, this food was prepared like a restaurant that has the consumer in mind. The Turkish kebab was spicy enough to not need sauce. The hummus was not the best that I have had, but better than most restaurants that serve it I give it 4/5. The salad was on point just had to add salt which is perfect, since not everyone needs the extra sodium in their diet. And the service was the best, smiles as I wish all the restaurant workers to have smiles! For a quick stop off the highway, I give it 5 stars for quality, service, and authenticity.
MIKE DISCO CYCLOMANIACS
This is a great restaurant to bring your family and friends to eat some good food and great conversations. The staff is very friendly and helpful with each customer. Lots of regular customers as well as new ones come here often. The food is great and prepared fresh everyday and always served hot. If you've never been here then I truly recommend this place to be on your list to visit.🌀
Rodrigo Salazar
It was a really good experience, just as you see at the pictures. Our server Ahmed was outstanding super good.
Worth Walrod
This place was amazing. Authentic Arabic food with amazing customer service!! Ali our waiter was amazing the whole time and the head chef, Yusuf, even came out and introduced himself to us! Overall, amazing, quality, authentic food with an even better staff to serve you. 10/10 would recommend and I will definitely be coming back!
Silvana
The best. Authentic and delicious. I drive out of my way to come to this location.
Judith Capozzi
Amazing!! I cannot wait to go back. We had the hummus (omg) and the Petra mix grill with different meats. Can't say enough good things. The baba ghanoush was so fresh and the picked vegetables dipped in the hummus was heavenly. 5 stars!
Shosho Hamza
My family and I were visiting Tampa and went there for dinner. It truly exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional and the service was wonderful. The entire staff and owner was amazing, helpful and friendly. We tried a variety of different dishes and all were delicious. Their coffee was very good. I would definitely recommend them for their delicious food, amazing service and great prices.

Great food and friendly staff. 😁 …
Linda Shaw
This restaurant it wonderful! We enjoy the family atmosphere and the excellent food. We have supported the restaurant through delivery throughout the pandemic, hoping that such a great place would make it through these hard times. We can't say enough great things about the authentic food. Our favorite is the Petra mixed grill entree.
Ernesto
It was awesome. Loved the service and the food

Amir Salehian
Amazing food everytime. Everytime I am craving for amazing middle eastern food I go here.They never disappoint. The food quality and flavors are superb. 👍 …
Galina Reznik
This place has authentic Jordanian food and the chef loves to cook. The meat was literally falling off the bones. I can definitely recommend this place it was amazing. The waitress was also really nice and sweet. I am happy I tried this place and will be coming back soon.
Halle Darjean
I’ve only ever gotten our food to go, but I’m never disappointed. We’ve ordered kufta kebabs, babaghanouj, beef shawarma, and hummus both times. Delicious food, generous portions, and awesome prices. I’ll recommend this to my friends in the future.
PS Always ask for extra pita with your dinner plates!! 🤤
Leah Perry
Wonderful food. Hospitable atmosphere. Amazingly sweet servers. Reasonable prices. The only thing i would change is the smell of cleaning products. While I'm happy it was so clean. There is something about Middle Eastern aromas that would just trigger the senses even more and add to the amazing feel of this already awesome place!!
Kareem Qaisi
Great food. Great staff. Best middle eastern in Tampa. Hummus ...fire. Mixed grill (beef, chxn, and kufta kebabs)..fire. Highly recommend.
William Scott
We've visited nearly every Greek or Mediterranean restaurant in our area. Always looking for something new. Although 15 miles away, we thought we would give Petra Restaurant a try. We arrived at 7:00 PM on a Sunday night and the place was packed. One table had 20 people and another had about 12. There were multiple booths with people in them too. We were quickly greeted and seated. The serving staff appeared a bit overwhelmed by the number of customers. While it took a while, the server came over and took our order. The food was fantastic! My wife and I shared a Greek Salad. She had the Chicken Kabobs and I had the Chicken Shawarma. Make sure you are hungry as the portions are rather large. You definitely get your monies worth. The Hummus and Basmati rice were delicious! Would highly recommend Petra Restaurant to my family and friends. Good Stuff!
Iman Ibrahim
Excellent service, delicious food, and very generous portions. Great restaurant to visit with family and enjoy middle eastern food. We will definitely go again when driving through Tampa! Thank you !!
Martin A
I highly recommend this place very clean the food is delicious. Their portions are huge and fulfilling not to mention they have three specials every day as they vary day by day. I love this restaurant and I love the treatment and service to get from this place. I visit this restaurant at least once a week and had many things on their menu but I must say they have three specials a day and a diverse menu that you can choose from. Thank you for bringing the best to the table !
Ayana Pavao
Used to be five stars now three cause I still love Petra and mi gente but it’s just not the same without Musa… I’m just saying! I love Yousef yes yes i do .. but just not the same!
And we’ll if I’m not working there definitely not five stars… maasalama!! The mansaf still my favorite nobody makes it like them! And well hoummus where’s MUSA!!!? The waitresses they need seriously help to read and stuff and just like pay attention to close detail! Sometimes I’m sure they are like where is sister Ayana ….
Yes yes I know I’m giving u three only cause I still have love for u and I know it’s reciprocated!
They will never let American be the best here.. yet we all know better 🤐🧐🧐🧐🧐😊😊😊😊😊😊👋🏻😍😇📿📿📿📿📿📿 sorry not sorry

Get the family boat or daily special and you will not be disappointed.
Humberto Anzola
Good taste , reasonable price , they take care of their food
Angela Dickerson
I had not been here in a long time.
The food was better than ever!
Love the olive oil and spices they serve with the pita. Went with a group of 8 and everyone loved what they ordered.
Gam Galab
Best Arabic or Mediterranean food,high quality and very reasonable prices,very clean ,only problem a limited menu which is fine because what they do they do best
Scheniqua Mayers
Not good anymore as they use to be
House salad I ordered came with Italian dressing on it with no disclaimer
Since when do you put Italian dressing on a ARABIC/MIDDLE EASTERN/MEDITERRANEAN chopped cucumber and tomato salad (house salad)
🥴
Lentil soup tasted as if I was drinking a hot bowl of curry powder soup with out lentils in it
**UPDATE 6/21/21 - came back and ordered another lentil soup with mansaf special. Was amazing. They have improved
Karim Bandealy
The food here is absolutely delicious. The chicken is very tender and the sauces are full of savory goodness (I highly recommend the chicken shawarma). However, what is consistently lacking in all my times I've visited this establishment is the service. Placing a simple sandwich order for two has taken upwards of 30 minutes, drinks have not been refilled promptly (sometimes not even brought out until asked), and the complementary bread with veggies were not brought out until asked. Though the service is quite slow, the food is so delicious that you're almost willing to forgive that aspect of your restaurant experience.
Outside of that, the restaurant is clean, the servers are courteous and the food is reasonably priced.
Sofia Chobiak
This is my absolute favorite restaurant. I have come here at least every other week for over a year, and have never had anything less than a wonderful experience. The food is exceptional. I recommend the chicken shawarma and hummus, but everything is delicious. The staff is also extremely welcoming and helpful. I can’t recommend this place enough.
Robert Alderson
Delicious chicken schwarma and friendly service.
Alex Zanderwall
Petra oh Petra, never failing to disappoint me. The more I come the better the food gets and the better the service gets. I definitely would not say no to coming everyday, amazing and friendly staff! They definitely make me feel so welcomed, one of the girls with the head scarf even gave me free Turkish coffee she had made to try it for the first time, turned out SO LOVELY!!!
Kristal Torres
I love this place. I come here at least 5 times a month. The food is always high quality, great and fast service.
Mark Zanetti
My dinner date and I got the sample platter and were thrilled with it.
Service was very good.
We will definitely be coming back.
Oshmi Dutta
After having eaten arabic/ middle eastern food all my life, I can honestly say this is one of the best places ever! They have some of the best preparations in such unassuming surroundings. Excellent caring service and just the best Hummus, Musabaha and other specialties. I will surely visit again when back in Tampa!
Yousef Ghazi
They have best middle eastern food you must try it
ry coolhead
Delicious food. Meat falls off the bone. Halal food.
Irfan Uddin
I have been this restaurant once. The food was ok but the service wasn’t up to the mark. The lamb shank with rice was just ok.
Umar Abdullah
Fresh food and very good service. Restroom is clean.
Ashraf Omar
Great Authentic Mediterranean food, it was our first time and definitely won't be our last. We tried a few items from the menu and everything was Amazing and the Waitress Sanaa' had great customer service. Try it and you won't regret it.
Aladdin Hiba
Excellent Arab restaurant. There food is top-notch and plentiful, and very reasonable priced, and the staff do a good job waiting the table. The ambiance is quiet with background music that isn't at all overbearing, but the main sitting area is kind of big without any dividers, makes it look empty. In any case, 10/10 would go again.
Martin Leyva
The food is AMAZING and the staff is very friendly. I haven’t had an issue with anything here great place, would definitely recommend. I always get there chicken kebob and it never disappoints.😊 …
John Whitlock
Best Middle Eastern food in all of Tampa Bay hands down! The mansaf served everyday is AMAZING and never disappoints. The owners really care about the customers as well.
Jana Nehring
Stopped by just to get a decent meal before heading to amusement park without knowing the area. Exceeded expectations! For just $10 total we got 2 of the vegetarian sandwiches, fresh and delicious, with friendly service in nice and clean interior. Highly recommend!
T SA
Good Food, authentic taste, and a good introduction to anyone wishing to try middle eastern food. The only caveat is that service is spotty, depending on your server. The two professional ladies in hijab are good, but the third younger server would just rather not be there. Worth a visit.
Danniel Shoemaker
Supreme. I just love this food. I've tried most things here...and all has been perfected. Easily the very best Oven roasted Lamb shanks. Tender and juicy on a bed of Saudi Arabian rice. Best falafel, best humus by far. I promise you won't be disappointed with these authentic mid east dishes.
fadey sabla
The hummes tastes like eggs beth raaaar
Zachary Bierline
First time trying shawarma, it is delicious!
lisa sukie
Lived and worked in the Middle East for many years and this is this truly authentic. Food was fresh and flavourful and portions were huge. Perhaps lacking in dessert options but otherwise amazing! Great place to take your family too. Will return for sure!
danya marhamo
My experience was ok. Would not go again nor would I recommend. The food was ok. I had lentil soup and a kefta sandwich roll. The lentil soup had fried peta bread that needed the oil it was cooked in changed. The kefta sandwich didnt have much in it.
Megan Cott
This is some of the best food I have ever tasted in my life! Went there today for lunch with coworkers and everything was absolutely incredible. Hands down the best hummus and falafel I have ever tried, I will definitely be back. Their kufta kebab sandwich was delicious and so moist. Definitely the place to go for amazing, authentic, Middle Eastern food.
Mark Nusekabel
Good food, friendly service!
Hadeel
I just got back home from there and the service was great. Our waitress, Sondous, was great and was very nice and polite and so nice to talk to. The food was a bit saltier than im used too but never the less was still pretty good. The other waitress, Yasmine, was also so nice and welcoming. Definitely plan on going back since the service was amazing and the ambience was calm and peaceful.
Shaker Al-Salem
Super authentic, recommend the Mansaf. Thanks!
Arch Henderson
My family and I were passing by through town and decided to stop there for lunch. Food, atmosphere, and overall service was great. Seems like its a Family owned and operated business. They genuinely care about the quality and presentation of the food they put in front if their customers. Definitely authentic. Highly recommend this place.
Michelle Sohan
Really enjoy the food and the wonderful service! We’re visiting Tampa, and tried a few Mediterranean places, that were not to our liking. And then we discovered this place, and have ordered here very frequently since then! The roasted tomatoes and pita bread, the kibbi, babaganoush , scharwma chicken, and everything, was just delicious!
Veronica Newton
We've been coming to Petra for many years, and we love it. The price is good and the food is delicious. They have the best babaganoush! I usually order the mixed grill - the chicken, lamb, and kufta (ground beef) are all tender and well seasoned. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean and comfortable.
I give 4 instead of 5 stars because sometimes the service can be a little slow or inattentive. Drink refills are a bit slow.
Otherwise, great place and we will continue to eat here!
Ahmad Zaiter
A good place to eat. the meal size is not that big. The wrap is small compared to American’s wrap standard!
If you want to order to go at least plan 30 minutes! Before.
They should be generous in their meals.
خالد الشرف (Dr Alsharaf)
Very good dishes, the price are reasonable, they weren't being able to serve all tables at that time, so it was too slowly.
Joel Balaban
My family and I go to Petra pretty regularly. It’s definitely in our top 3 places in Tampa Bay for all around experience. They are always very friendly and welcoming and the food is phenomenal and consistently phenomenal. The prices are reasonable and plates always full! They go above and beyond and surprise you with “little extras” every once in a while. The restaurant is also very clean and service prompt. Go and go again!!
Margo Williams
Wow. The food is GREAT!! A note to patrons though. Keep in mind the traditional dress of the middle eastern women. I originally walked in with a shirt that exposed my shoulders and quickly realized I needed to cover myself more out of respect for the other patrons and the waitresses. Nobody said anything to me nor were they rude I just felt uncomfortable. We will DEFINITELY return when we are in Tampa again.
Liquid Light
Took my friend here to introduce her to Shawarma. I'd never been here before. The food... Oh the food. It was so much better than I imagined. I got this dish with lamb and tomato, and it came with a bowl of what I thought was mixed boiled vegetables, but turned out to be packed with flavor pickled veggies. I wish I had a bigger stomach so that I could have ordered more things.
Neither my friend nor I could finish all the food and it was so much better than I could have imagined.
Then I got the bill. It was like HALF what I would have expected to pay for food of this quality.
I now have a new favorite restaurant.
Ann Sunshine
This place is delicious. Everything I’ve tried has been a delight. And to top it off, the waitress are all the sweetest people. If you don’t go here, you’re missing out.
Equus Dea
OMG the food here is amazing! I was looking for authentic Middle Eastern food and read the reviews and decided to give it a try. DELICIOUS! The prices are great. The service and staff are friendly and efficient. I loved this place. It will definitely be on my favorites list.

I ordered the Falafel Pita and a side order of hummus and pita bread and they really give you a great serving size for the cost! The food was fresh and delicious and is the best Middle Eastern cuisine I've had in a long time! The hummus was homemade and I can't ever go back to buying store-bought hummus after trying it! I would recommend adding some garlic to it if you like garlic because it just intensifies the flavor! Highly recommend this restaurant!
Cheryl Markham
My family was down here for Spring Break and we decided to try Middle Eastern cuisine so we went to Petra's. Best dinner decision! The food was delicious, friendly service. We loved it! Tabouli and the lamb is our favorite!
Oz Perez
AMAZING!! The chef was so polite and the food was to die for. If you like middle eastern, this is an absolute must try.
Jennie Spalti
Gluten free food. The best Mediterranean food I've had in a long while. The Falafel was amazing.
Wally Okby
Consistently high quality Arabic food. New staff are friendly and hospitable.
Ric Rini
UPDATE:
7/18/15 - Visit: Totally awesome food once again. I got the Petra Grill and it was delicious, all the meats were super tender and spiced perfectly.
Only downside this visit is the service was not that great - slow and brought out my wife's meal with the appetizer and gave some lame excuse as to why. Just own the mistake!
Really good middle eastern food here. I got the petra grill with beef chicken and ground lamb with a side of hummus and babaganoush. The meat was seasoned perfectly and had a great grill taste. The hummus was creamy with a prefect nutty and smoked taste, same for the babaganoush.
The service was good and the restaurant had average to good cleanliness. We will definitely come back.
Safa Khan
Petra oh Petra , the food is always on point , the ladies are nice. But the service , the wait time. Is a no no. I pre- ordered my food an hour before I picked it up. And it still wasn’t ready. I waited 30 minutes to get that food. The food was good tho.
MANUEL RODRIGUEZ V
Is impressive how good the food is in here..
EVERYTHING that my party ordered was amazing; probably my ONLY recommendation will be having a little bit more help up front.. It gets crowded and two lady's taking orders and delivering food makes it slow.
Definitive 100% recommended, will come back again multiple times.
Thank you!!!
Kashelle Elliotte
Great food and atmosphere. Love coming here with my friends to unwind.
Kashif Ibrahim
The food is delicious, the servers work their heart out.
I left my credit card at the restaurant and went back to pick it up, and the server was really polite and nice. I would definitely return to the restaurant when I am on trip to Tampa.
Rehab Kamel
I tried the Konafa and it was a sense of home❤🇪🇬 it was delicious …
Akram Khan
Awesome food, great environment, nice service...Loved it....
Came here for the first time while my way back home from clear water beach and liked it a lot. I Will recommend everyone to visit it once to try middle eastern authentic food.
Life Happens
Absolutely delicious food. I love the good home cooked meal feel. They're food is always excellent and there's a good variety of vegetarian foods as well, like hummus and falafel. Yummy!!
Mahmoud Zahir
Petra took me way back home!! Loved the food, environment and service. My server sondos was the sweetest and most beautiful person. Amazing service and amazing food, definitely 10/10!
Yehudit Rivkah Keshet Levona Yisrael
So delicious! Excellent service, beautiful people, warm friendly, family atmosphere. Very clean. I wanna eat here every day
Rakibul Haque
Foods were delicious as always, servers are not very professional.
Carlos
Ordered the chicken shawarma and the mesabaha. Best middle eastern food I’ve had in Tampa. The chicken in the shawarma was moist and not dry at all. You could tell the mesabaha is home made, includes actual chick peas in the mesabaha which is adds a different texture, very tasty. Would recommend to anyone. Only issue is the waiter (maybe owner?) was not wearing a mask but the rest of the staff was.
Tim Poirier
The food was delicious and the service was great. A little disappointed in the size of the baklava, but that's minor compared the everything else.
Nelson Dominguez
Great time . Super comfortable atmosphere and good food next door.
Only thing not making it 5stars... A bit small for my taste so there might be a wait when it's busy.
If you like hookah, definitely stop by.
Ricardo Wilkes
The excelente restaurant here in Tampa and good services
Judy Gordon
Ordered from Petra via Uber Eats. We ordered a Mixed Grilled Platter with a side of Lentil Soup. Everything was delicious. Menu states it will feed four, not so sure about that, two of us had plenty with a little left. However, we chose to not eat the bread so it would likely easily feed 3 good appetites. I am looking forward to visiting the restaurant and eating in.
Husein Atari
I would like to complement the chef, the mansaf For 10 people was out of this world. The lamb was very tender and The Whole meal was very delicious. I recommend the mansaf to all my friends and family.
Henry Young
I stopped in to Petra doing research for restaurants, grocery recommendations in preparation for receiving guests at Erehwon Retreat coming from Saudi Arabia. Great food, fresh ingredients and much help in building a recommendation list. Now I am a regular. Loved their Chickenscharma.
Carlos torres
Great space for family dining or just a lunch in. Baba ganouch is best I've ever had Smokey creamy topped with high end olive oil. Fresh veggie salad needed no seasoning at all. Service was polite and welcoming food we ordered was served with a whole fresh bag of pita bread. Soup is made daily with half lemon and Pita crisps. Will highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking real middle eastern cuisine.
Zoreena Danielle Moore
Love the Busch Blvd location! My mom Bibi and I have come here ever since I was a little girl! We used to own TBMI Computer Store on Busch and 46th and this was our favorite place to go after school. This is still our favorite place to come on Mommy/Daughter lunch dates! Thank you for being so AWESOME your food is EXCELLENT!!
Crystal Chahin
This is our "go-to" spot for Arabic food. We've been coming here for almost 10 years and bring our guests when they are visiting Tampa. Food is always excellent, friendly people, and authentic atmosphere.
Joe Pezzulich
Love this place. Great Middle Eastern food at very reasonable prices. Especially like the hummus. Can never go back to grocery store hummus. Friendly staff.
Gandalfe Temporary
Food is fresh and authentic, but service is spotty. Avoid the young server, she tends to forget about her customers completely. She will even walk off with your drinks and never come back. Absent mindedness that borders on neglect. Got the distinct impression she could not care less.
FRANK TUNAZEH
We moved from Tennessee
This is the best place to eat in Tampa bay .
If you are looking to eat International or Middle Eastern food
Every time we go there they surprise us with the quality and the taste of their wide verity menu
We are so grateful to have such a great restaurant close to our home
Great place with a great staff
Thank you Petra
Dino Omar
I like this place, food is good and price is fair but its a gamble when it comes to customer service. Its either really good or horrible no in between.
Matt Foster
I picked up an order from Petra and the food was amazing! No problems whatsoever! The hummus, chicken shawarma, and Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken were phenomenal!
Mohammed Baluch
Tasty food, friendly and prompt service, nice music with Amroo Diyab songs - and lots of space in the Restaurant and loads of parking! A suggestion - please add gluten free breads/khubz to the menu! None of the local Arab restaurants seem to carry gluten free options! And to include lattes/ cappuccinos!!!
john erb
Great for family dining. Friendly and courtious service. We get the Family Boat. It fed the five of us after my daughter, her hubby and thier two children took me to Lowery Park Zoo for my birthday. We were hungry really hungry. But, we couldn't finish all the delicoous veggies, chicken, lamb, babaganoush,
Shehzad Ali
The food is amazing here and the service is excellent. I have eaten here over 20 times and I've never been disappointed. I would highly recommend this restaurant!!
Jerry Washington
The Waitresses were dressed in hijabs they explain the menu the bach lava and a personal homemade version of it was excellent truthfully is one of the greatest International places to go to because they do a magnificent job the place is clean the bathroom was clean but most of all they made us feel most welcome and that made all the difference in the world. I will be returning next week.
Nile Khanfar
The food is great; Yousef, the Chef is a true Master Chef and an excellent manager. I enjoy visiting and eating there every time I visit Tampa.
darien roth
Such a find! Today I experienced the best ever baba ghanoush of my life! The creamy combination of slightly smokey eggplant enveloped with all the other ingredients was like a symphony in my mouth. Same for the hummus topped with a true high quality olive oil. Their salad was so simple yet pure needing no extra seasoning at all. Lentil soup was divine with a squeeze of lemon accentuated with crispy fried pita chips. I will go back often to try the other gems on the menu. Congratulations to the Chef and family. Thank you!
Corinne Bach
Best Middle Eastern cuisine in Tampa, no question. My favorite things include: Chicken Shawarma platter with their homemade hummus and tabouli, Foule, and Mediterranean platter. Ask for extra garlic sauce and don't forget the veggie pickles!
Samantha Batteh
Ordered online claimed that they never received my order and that the system was down (should be stated somewhere online). Waited for my food, the whole bag was leaking. The food was okay, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Gia A
Came here with my family
And everything was excellent. So glad to have found good quality Arabic food.
Cassie Ellison
May be the best mediterranean food. Ordered it to go and was not at all disappointed. I'd be willing to drive the 30 minutes from my apartment to eat here again
Ariel Czaczkes
Amazing quality falafel and hummus.
So fresh, so delicious, friendly service, gigantic portions
Moti
I love this place! After the fire some years ago, this tiny Middle Eastern restaurant/market metamorphosed into a much larger restaurant, evidently accommodating a larger clientelle - and they are the cognoscenti! The food is superb! The atmosphere is casual, the location casual (in a strip mall), but all that pales when sampling the mezes, baba ganoush, shish-kebabs, pickled vegetables, warm, fat pita bread, and many specialties from Lebanon, Jordan, and other regions of the Middle East. Fantastic! I have eaten there often, and will endeavor to bring some friends for a small party!
Eyad Fares
The best authentic middle eastern food that I’ve had in a while. Mansaf was so good we ordered another one to go. Good luck and see you soon!
UniversalGamingYT
Amazing Restaurant. The food is great and the staff is super nice.
Jessica Moffett
Food is excellent. Best chicken shawarma around
I've never had a bad experience.. I come here to est any time I'm in the area.
Greg J
Overall good food. Liked most of what I ordered.
I didn't however like the huge fly that buzzed around and hit me in the face during my visit.
But I didn't have any other issues.
William McCracken
Delicious food and excellent service. We will definitely return!
Clifford Williams
The food was delicious.

I will be returning frequently
Ali islim
Middle eastern themed restaurants
It has a great Arabic style food
And the staff were very nice and they let us make music requests of our favorite arab songs
The food was decent
The place was clean
Again I loved the staff
The price can be lower but it's not that bad
8/10 would visit again
Amir S
It is very good restaurant the food tast amazing like back home taste but they need to work on the interior design little bit
Laila
Love the selection & flavor ! The mixed grill family boat is a household favorite for us !
Tim Rice
I just moved to this area a month ago and have been to Petra five times. I love this food, everyone is always so nice
Asif Daya
Delicious middle eastern food made fresh! I don't speak the language and was welcomed. Mild to hot tasting with great flavor in baba ganoush but no tabouli, before they had the freshest one in town. I typically eat the lamb or the variety of different kabobobs and love them all considering I drive from Punta Gorda to Tampa for it! I always take a home meal for the next day.
Hyde Food
I am their regular. This time I had guests. My American guests loved as well.
Waleed Mahmoud
Very delicious, excellent service, Asmaa was so welcoming, she went above and beyond to make the visit stellar.. I totally recommend this place and would absolutely do it again on my next visit to Tampa.
Thank you :)
Lucia Vazquez
Yo, the chicken kabab sandwich and pickled vegetables make my heart flutter. I've been daydreaming about them since I first laid my taste buds on that warm moist peta. The chicken has enough flavor to make up for all the unseasoned chicken in the entire state of Florida. The garlic sauce you get with it makes it somehow, 23 times better, which I didn't even think was possible. I might even name my next child Petra just because....damn.
Scott Keeports
Came back for the third time. Dinner was fantastic and tasty as always! You're missing out if you've not visited Petra Restaurant yet.
Bethani, the ODST
Best place on earth. There better be a Petra in the next life. Chicken shawarma with babaganoush and hummus is always perfected here. Never once had a bad experiece and everyone who works there is so pleasant and kind.
Heavy D
The best mansaf in Florida, I’m from Jordan and it taste exactly like back home. I will be back for sure next time I’m in Florida.
Md Mokaddesul Hoque
Great food, kebabs are always my favorite here. It feels clean inside here. Service is good in most days. Good vegetarian options too.
Mohammad Al-jabbar
Had the swarma last night it was amazing. Haven't been there since it was a little dark groceries store with a few dark booths but what I craved they had and I will be looking forward to my next visit at Petra's restaurant.

Daniel McMahon

zohre nemati
I love their food. It is very fresh and tasty. For the family or groups get the grilled family boat which is enough for 5-6 people and it comes with delicious sides!
James Johnson
Love this restaurant! The food was excellent and the services was very good. I have to say that was some of the freshest hummus that I've had in a while, and the Shawarma was delicious.
