Petra Mediterranean Bistro

We stumbled upon Petra during a recent weekend trip to Seattle. What a find!!!! Walking in the door, we were immediately greeted by a very nice server, who gave us our choice of seats and promptly brought our beverages. The mint oregano hot tea was perfect for a chilly Seattle afternoon.\r \r While we oogled the menu, another nearby server educated us about the different choices and seemed genuinely interested. Middle eastern music filled the air of this warm, elegant, yet casually decorated light filled restaurant. The colors are pleasing, and the overall atmosphere is lovely.\r \r Our lunch entrees were prepared quickly, and they did not disappoint. The dolmathes were EXCELLENT, and presented nicely. The vegetarian shawarma was THE BEST, perfectly seasoned and prepared. The shish kabobs were also wonderful.\r \r Next time we visit Seattle, you can bet we will be back to Petra, perhaps this time for dinner. Love, love, love this place!\r \r \r \r Pros: Menu Variety, Decor, Excellent Food more

Open for lunch and dinner, Petra is a great addition to the Belltown dining options. Menu offer dishes from Jordan, Lebanon, Greece, Turkey, Northern Africa. I always get an order of the hummus. Sometimes I take it up a notch with the MOSABAHA - which is hummus mixed with cooked chick peas. Topped with sautéed almonds and pine nuts. Great job Petra! Pros: Walking Distance more

Picked up a take-out order on a Wednesday night. The dining room looks nice and the staff was friendly but there was only one table with customers. Pretty empty. The food however was delicious! Very flavorful and generous portions. Will be returning for sure. more
