Fairly priced... The food was dry and lacking flavor.. I can take Cumin and oil... That's about it and the drizzle the on top taste like mayo with lime... I dumped the salad in to give it some moisture lol but all in all I don't need to try this place again

We ordered a mezze platter for a gathering of friends. Ordering was quick and easy and the food was amazing! Falafel was perfectly cooked and the baba ganoush and hummus were beautiful as well as yummy! One guest commented that the stuffed grape leaves were the best she ever had! Very reasonably priced, wonderful food, friendly staff. Will definitely be back for more! Cater from here and you will not be disappointed!

Food is over priced, and Kufta was dry without flavor. I had to take my food home and add my own ingredients for the flavor to really pop. Very underwhelmed.

I had the chicken shawarma wrap, chicken shawarma plate, and hummus. All three were super flavorful and delicious. This is definitely going to be my new go to place. Highly recommend the food!

There are a lot of good things to eat at Petra Falafel. My family loves the falafel and the chicken shawarma in particular. The hummus is the best I've ever had, and I have been told it's made fresh daily. It certainly tastes like it! The texture is smooth and the oils and spices make it especially tasty. I often swing by and pick up a large hummus rather than buying a tub at the supermarket. It's worth it.

Excellent food and service! We ordered two of the mezzas platters for a gathering with friends, which included all the food in the photo plus a whole additional tray of the hummus and baba ghanoush and plenty of pita. The platters were beautifully prepared, the service was excellent, the best of all, the food was delicious!

If you are a person of color don’t bother. They’ve made it obvious they don’t like black people. I would stay clear.

The only reason I have it a 4 for service is because last time I picked up food there, they forgot about me. I had called in my order, but I had to wait longer than I should have. They apologized but didn't even offer me a water or anything for their mistake. Otherwise I love the place. Best baklava and falafel.

Loved the quaint atmosphere of this spot, which is authentically reflective of its culture. It’s not a large space, so carryout is popular, but we enjoyed a quiet lunch all to ourselves. The food was fantastic—I opted for the Mezzo Combo, their vegetarian platter, and the falafels were cooked to perfection! The sauce was also delightful. While there was a bit of a language barrier with our server, she was kind and managed to get everything right in the end, which is what really matters. I’d definitely visit again! (I forgot to snap pictures ??‍♀️)

Parking: Depending on the time of day, plenty on the street in front of the restaurant.
