" During our family vacation in Monterey, we stumbled upon Petra Cafe and decided to try it. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I had the Chicken Gyro, and while it was good, I expected a bit more flavor. The service was prompt, and we appreciated the kind staff. We'll likely come back to give another dish a try, as I hear the falafel is a hit here. Overall, a decent experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent visit, I had the pleasure of dining at Petra Cafe. While I enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly service, the food fell a bit short of my expectations. My chicken kebab was a little dry, but the flavors were still enjoyable. I might explore more options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped in for a quick dinner before a show and I’m glad I did! The menu had a wide range of Mediterranean options. The dish I had was decent and everything came out quickly, but I didn’t find it particularly memorable. All in all a satisfactory meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my wife here for a casual date night, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice! The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, making it perfect for a romantic dinner. The portions were generous, and they even included complimentary pitas. My wife had the falafel while I opted for the kafta kebab, both of which were flavorful and authentic. We will definitely be back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! We visited Petra Cafe after wandering around the area, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip! The owner's hospitality made us feel like family. We ordered the Chicken Shawarma and a Mixed Grill platter, both of which were delicious. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The portions are massive and we couldn't finish our meal. I highly recommend trying the baklava for dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable spot for dinner with a great variety on the menu. I had the falafel wrap which was nice, but the serving size was a bit smaller than I expected. Service was friendly and prompt which added to the experience. " (*Curated Review*)
