Petra Cafe

This is a place to get great falafel sandwiches!! Friendly staff but not a spot for a dinner date. Place is small with limited seating but the food? Delicious and with fresh ingredients!! Street parking with meters.

My food came super quick, and had steam coming out of the box. I got the lamb kabobs, and this had to be one of the best meals I ever tried. The lamb was seasoned perfectly and tasted freshly grilled. The rice was so flavorful and the tzatziki sauce was creamy and fresh. I can't wait to order from here again.

Cozy yet warm and welcoming restaurant, small very clean dining area. Great staff with great service.

We ordered 2 phily steak combos, a mixed kebab & lamb kebab. Food tasted absolutely delicious and authentic.. everything thing tasted great and delicious, meats were cooked the right way they should, salads were amazing and rice was great... every bite was full of flavour.

Dish prices are very reasonable compared to portions served and quality of food.

We had a wonderful time and experience and we highly recommend this restaurant especially for those seeking authentic high quality food.

We got here late at night so they were sold out of a lot of items, but we ended up getting hummus and gyro sandwiches. The garlic sauce is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Everything we got was delicious!

So glad we came to Petra Cafe this chilly, rainy Sunday! The Falafal sandwich was freshly prepared, hot, with just the right amount of toppings! The star of our late lunch though was the Lentil Soup! It was delicious! Definitely, will come again, and next time I won’t share the soup with my husband! 😄

Petra Cafe is a delightful Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurant that serves up some of the best Greek and Mediterranean food in town. On my recent visit, I choose my usual Falafel Sandwich/Wrap Combo, which comes with fries, a drink, and a choice of sauce. I'm a vegetarian, so my options are limited!

The first thing that caught my attention was the aroma of freshly cooked falafels as they were being prepared. Once I got my hands on the sandwich, I was impressed by the generous portion size and the vibrant colors of the ingredients. The falafels were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning.

And let's talk about the fries! When seasoned properly, they are delicious and perfectly complement the falafel wrap. I was slightly disappointed on some of my visits when the fries were not seasoned, but it's a minor complaint in an otherwise fantastic dining experience.

But wait, there's more! Petra Cafe's hummus is a must-try, and the pita bread is so fresh and soft that it practically melts in your mouth. The combination of flavors and textures in each bite is simply divine.

Overall, Petra Cafe is a diverse and welcoming spot on Mass Ave that never disappoints. This is the place to go if you're looking for a flavorful, satisfying meal with plenty of options.

I just had their Chicken Kebab Platter. Every grain of rice was screaming flavours! It's so good!!! The chicken pieces were cooked properly but still soft and juicy, rice was fluffy and flavourful, and they also provided some fresh salad and two different types of sauces on the side. The portion size was also pretty good. No complaints about the food at all.
Only a tiny observation that I had. Although I didn't eat there, I found the place a bit small. But then, I saw people sitting there enjoying their meals as well. So, I guess it depends on the type of ambience you prefer. Nonetheless, the taste is gonna blow up your mind (mine sure did) anyway, so I guess I'll be returning pretty soon.
