" Great little spot for lunch! The flavors are mostly spot on, especially for traditional Mediterranean dishes. I especially enjoyed their fava beans and garlic sauce. Just be prepared for limited seating, as it gets busy during lunchtime. But the overall experience was lovely! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Petra Cafe but was somewhat let down. The atmosphere is lovely, and I even noted a nice sense of community around the place. However, my Mediterranean salad felt sparse, and the falafel was forgettable—a bit dry, lacking the herbal punch I associate with such dishes. I did enjoy their Turkish coffee, which was well-made, so I may give it another try when I'm in the area, hoping the food will impress me next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful little gem! We stumbled upon Petra Cafe while looking for lunch, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The Petra platter offered a bit of everything and was very filling! The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. " (*Curated Review*)

" I should have listened to the mixed reviews before trying this place. It was not what I expected from a supposed authentic Mediterranean restaurant. The flavors were average, and portions were smaller than what I’m used to. The vibe was nice, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon based on this last experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Petra Cafe was good, but I was left wanting more. The dolmas were tasty, but not exceptional. Someone mentioned before me how portion sizes tend to be small—but they were true in my case. I might give it another shot, but it didn’t totally live up to the hype for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely lunch at Petra Cafe. Very quaint atmosphere with delicious food. I tried their Petra platter and was surprised by the variety offered. The baba ghanoush was so flavorful! The only downside was the slightly long wait for food. Despite that, I would go back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Petra Cafe truly is a gem! I've been there multiple times, and each experience has been delightful. Their baba ghanoush is the best I've had outside the Middle East. One suggestion: their pita bread can be hit or miss; sometimes it's fresh, and other times it seems pre-packed. The atmosphere is always vibrant, and the staff consistently friendly. I'll be making it my regular lunch spot from now on! " (*Curated Review*)
