This is a small family owned restaurant, nothing extravagant. I've been here a couple of times. I ordered the chicken Shawarma entrée, both times were good. Can't speak for the other items. Great service as well . I will recommend and return to this restaurant.

This place is reasonably priced and their baba ghanoush is pretty tasty as well. The falafel is super flavorful. We also got the chicken shawarma platter which needed just a touch more salt/flavor.

Ordered for takeout, and one meal was forgotten. We went back to grab it and they gave us some baklava, which was kind of them. They offered to deliver it as well. Family run, great food, will go back!

Really tasty. The Baba Ghanoush was wonderful as was the hummus, falafel and the kabobs. We will definitely be ordering from Petra Falafel again.

Cashier was very nice and helpful. Great customer service and great food. I got the kefta kebab sandwich special which came with fries and a drink. The meat was well seasoned and juicy. I definitely recommend this place!

Petra Falafel has excellent falafel and chicken shawerma. I am a big fan of their food and highly recommend them for takeout or delivery. I am meaning to eat there in person soon.

With respect, this is the best fresh made falafel sandwich in the area. Beautiful texture, toasted blistered pita wrap. Certainly in the convo for best in

I usually get the Falafel Sandwich and Lentil soup. It hits the spot every time. If you want to sit down and eat the restaurant is usually quiet and clean. Or grab your food and head across the street to Roberts Westside for some live music.

For takeout or eating in, prepare for a yummy experience. Would only be improved by outdoor seating, or a larger indoor space.

Petra Falafel is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in this area. They are very popular for take out but also have a dine in option with several tables. The restaurant is cute and cozy. It's family owned and run. They have a decent menu with appetizers, salads, plates, and pita pockets. Everything is very reasonably priced. I highly recommend the falafel - probably one of the best I've had. I ordered the combo platter, which had chicken, Kafta, and beef. The portion size is very generous. I preferred the kafta and chicken over the beef. I appreciate that the platters are served with salad and pita bread. And, I love their white garlic sauce. I would like to note that their baklava is the best I've ever had. It's perfectly flaky in layers and not too sweet!! I would stop by just to pick up their baklava!

We ordered ahead of time for pickup, came on time for our food, waited… waited another 30 min… waited another 15. They had lost our order & another customers as well. Sad :(

Top highlight: Best Baklava I've had. Not too sweet, just perfect. Highly recommend you order one before leaving. Ordered a chicken shawarma platter and it was good but wish the chicken had a little more sauce and slightly more flavor. Had better in other locations but I was craving Mediterranean and this satisfied by cravings. The owner was really sweet, funny, and helpful. Worth checking the place out for decent price. They do give you a lot so they don't skimp out on food. You'll leave full.
