I had beef kebab. My date had the beef shawarma. BOTH of us got chopped round steak! 😭 We had the exact same meat cut differently. Mine was more obvious. The hummus was great but they didn't give me the type of pita I asked for.

Not dirty, just looked old, but I guess that’s the point.

The lentil soup was shyt 4/10

The falafel platter was ok 8.3/10

Hummus 8.6/10

Rice, not seasoned kind of big. Not real basmati 8.3/10

Pita bread not fresh it was 8/10

The other stuff was good, idk if it was gabgoosh or something. Would go again, but never get lentil soup again. Tasted like dish water was mixed with it and it was fuqin cold.

I’m BLack so I honestly don’t know if they made the lentil soup nasty on purpose.

My friend picked us up a falafal and a chicken shawarma for us to eat at school. I had seen Petra Falafel before but never stopped inside.

The shawarma here is delightful; chicken is tender, vegetables are fresh, and the wrap is juicy. We ate them both quickly and they were the perfect way to start the day. I hope to come back and try some other food.

Petra is a staple for my household. Their shawarma sandwich is delicious and affordable, their hummus is phenomenal, and my partner and roommate are very fond of their falafel. We live nearby so we typically do takeout or delivery. The dining area is clean and carries the Jordanian vibe but it's small.

The people are always nice. It's small and cozy. The food is delicious. Great veggie options and meaty options as well. The sides and combo plates are terrific to share. I'm not going to try to name them because I'll misspell them....

One of the most fairly priced and flavorful quick food restaurants in the area. The Shawarma is absolutely delicious and can’t recommend it enough. The falafel‘s do taste a little bit premade or frozen but it’s possible we just got a bad batch. Overall solid place for a quick bite.
