Petra - Tampa

I went there for hookah. It wasn?t bad. Like one review I read, it seems to burn fast. Coal service is good and frequent enough. I liked the vibe of the place. Parking can be tricky if you don?t know about the next tip. Tip: parking on the S Newport Avenue. On Google Maps, drop a pin on lot 106 at S Newport Avenue. Then you walk through the charming back gate (see picture). I?m November 2022, I paid for the Hookah $20.80 . Fair price.

Food quality was very good and the staffs were dedicated for customers.

Absolutely the best Arabic food in the Tampa Bay Area! If you’re a fan of Arabic cuisine, you definitely shouldn't miss this restaurant. The staff are incredibly friendly as well. I can't wait to return!

Delicious, clean, hand made food with friendly staff. Our family of four loves to eat in the outdoor dining area listening to music. We are always very happy with our experience and we've done to-go orders twice which have never disappointed. Petra is our favorite spot!

The menu offers a wide variety of options, including both vegetarian and meat appetizers—definitely something for everyone. I tried their shawarma kabobs, which were delicious. One downside was that the water had a strange taste. When I called ahead, they mentioned they were fully booked, yet we still managed to get a table on a busy Saturday night. Even though the place was packed, it took about 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged us, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, it was a mixed experience!
