Petra Restaurant

Taste is 10/10 very authentic Arabic food. Mansaf was definitely my favorite. The presentation is excellent and customer service is great. Everything was on point and authentic.

Hummus is hands down best I've ever had!Always fresh and very flavorful. Ordered for delivery and they give large amounts. S full 16 ounce container. I highly recommend.

Came here for an event and loved it! the food and atmosphere was amazing! very kind and sweet server!! the chicken shawarma was incredible, and don't get me started on that garlic sauce, the combo is unbeatable. i've been enjoying arab food a lot lately and this will definitely be a spot that i come back to. the kebab was also delicious a lot with the rice, so much flavor and melts in your mouth. very homey and cozy spot.

My family and I come here often to eat, every dish we order is always good.Sometimes the restaurant is a bit cold so bundle up when you visit!We had the chicken platter and the chicken shawarma. You can choose a variety of options for your sides.

Probably the best shawarma in Tampa. Hands down.. mic drop. If you like Persian food this is a must. The hummus and pita alone is legendary. Know what you want, because you're not getting any help from behind the counter. I'm slowly working my way through the menu and haven't had a bad dish.

We decided to give Petra a try after having a poor experience at 2 other Tampa Mediterranean restaurants. Ambiance: The place is casual, clean and comfortable. There weren't many people inside so it was nice and quiet. Nothing fancy, but that was expected. Service: Our server was friendly, and attentive. No complaints at all, very pleased.Food: Kind of a mixed bag, but this might be more personal preference over good vs. bad. Some things like the babaganoush were delicious and other items were just okay. Nothing was bad though, just nothing to write home about. For the most part we enjoyed our dinners but not sure I'd run back.

Great food and service. Lamb mansaf was amazing, soft creamy. Appetizer sampler and mixed grill alsa great. Portions are big. Worth trying.

We wanted to have dinner on Saturday night and were craving for Mediterranean food so we searched near us and saw Petra Restaurant.Petra was around 12-15 minutes from our place and looked like a nice restaurant with ample parking space.Upon arrival at the restaurant, we checked in with the server and were promptly shown to our table. Our server, Ali, greeted us with menus and water; the restaurant's ambiance was delightful. Shortly thereafter, Ali brought over oil and Pita Bread, which made for a delicious starter to our dinner.Upon perusing the menu, we ultimately settled on ordering two dishes: Chicken Kebab with Basmati Rice and Babaganoush, and Chicken Mansaf with French Fries. The service we received was satisfactory, and our food arrived promptly.For our starter, we indulged in the scrumptious Chicken Kebab. The meat was expertly marinated with a blend of flavorful spices, resulting in a mouthwatering dish. Served with fragrant basmati rice and creamy baba ganoush, the meal was a perfect combination of taste and satisfaction.I recently tried Chicken Mansaf for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by its delicious flavor. The dish was new to me, but it quickly became a favorite. The sauce complemented the Mansaf perfectly, making it a truly enjoyable meal.This restaurant is incredible for enjoying delicious food.

Visiting the area and we found this place!Food did not disappoint and service was good.It was five of us guys so we did the family boat Falafel as the appetizer.Only thing we didn't like was it was to quiet, wish there was some kind of music.

Went here for a dinner after a conference in Tampa near Busch Gardens. Was a little concerned when we rolled up and there was no one in the place besides us!! But wow, what a hidden gem!! Amazing food. Great portions! Absolutely delicious. Great service. Will go again!!
