Petra is a Middle Eastern Authentic Cuisine Restaurant which is considered as a new business venture in the Bay Area .
Arwa Kamal who is the main Petra's chef cooks with love. Whatever she used to cook home , she just now cooks to the public on larger scale.
Arwa was a catering for family and friends simply because she loves and enjoy cooking. The need for a neighborhood Middle Eastern restaurant was identified in this location at La Positas st. after further research in the Bay Area a decision was made to pursue this venture.
Wow!!! I have never been so compelled to write a review. By far best middle eastern cuisine I've had.
We started with the Mazze as our appetizer. You can taste the freshness in the creamy hummus.
The Petra shish meat combination was a great bit of everything. The dressing and tahini on the side salad is the perfect combination needed to clear your pallet for more meaty goodness :)
Will make more trips to the Bay Area for this spot!
This place is amazing and unfortunately amazingly far coming from Oakland :( I have once stopped by before during covid, however they did not have dine in at the time. The take out was so good I remembered this place and had to stop by again for dine in. The owner I am assuming answered all the questions I had and what he recommend along with what is new to the menu. My friend got the beef shwarma and I got the beef kebab (the portion is extremely big, recommend sharing a plate lol) also got the Mazze for appetizer, highly recommend if you wanna try a little of everything. What also stands out is their warm pita bread that is thinner than most places eaten with rosemary herb + olive oil. Their new item on the menu is knaffe, which I will have to come back again and try for dessert. If you are in the area stop by, you will feel welcomed and at home.
Food is so authentic and full of flavor! One of my favorite restaurants everything was perfect. Owners are very friendly and the food is so fresh
Can't wait to come back again with my family, love the ambiance of the place with the cute Jordanian decor!
