My first time at Petra this past weekend and I can't wait to go back. The red lentil soup was fantastic. I had the Taste of Africa and the flavors were fabulous. The service was great, too.

Greek salad was fantastic! Garlic lemon chicken is super garlicky so not good date food but still good food. I recommend asking for the sauce on the side so you can adjust the garlic.

Order the Mezza Tray because all the mediterranean apps are great. Entrees are super flavorful too! Go on Saturdays at 7:30pm and be treated to live belly dancing!

Great food - we loved the pita bread (oh so soft) and hummus. Salad/falafel is great. red lentil soup and veg sheesh kabob not so much.. Definitely visiting again.

Shish Tawook (lemon garlic chicken) spices are heavenly, but the chicken can be a little dry: ask them not to overcook it.

Kafta kebabs were perfect. The baklava is to die for,best I've tasted in Seattle.

Gyro Shawarma did not let down! Practically melts in your mouth.

Good lunch spot that's close to Seattle Center but not touristy

Skipping the baklava sampler would be a sin!

Cauliflower rocks. Greek salad is amazing. Everything was actually damn good. Service was a slow and awkward though.

The lentil soup is bomb
JamieJuly 8, 2013
Service was polite, but slow and inattentive. Bring a water bottle because the food is nice and garlicky but they don't come around and refill your water much. Next time I'll get my food to go.

Go to Petra Mediterranean Bistro: Try the Petra Wings or Fries. Get the Shish Tawook. It's divine.

That fried cauliflower thing is AMAZING, as is damn near everything on the menu :)

The Baklava is amazing!

Avoid the falafel at all costs... Unless mushy bread balls painted brown and left to get soggy are your thing.
