Petra Mediterranean Restaurant - Busch Blvd

A Culinary Journey to the Heart of the Middle East

Established in 2004, Petra Restaurant is a beloved, family-owned Mediterranean eatery with two locations in Tampa. Named after the ancient Jordanian city of Petra a symbol of beauty, heritage, and resilience, our restaurant offers an authentic taste of Jordanian and Palestinian home cooking in a warm, welcoming setting.

We proudly serve traditional dishes such as Mansaf, Mandi, Maqluba, grilled kebabs, falafel, and hand-rolled grape leaves, all made with fresh ingredients, time-honored recipes, and a deep love for Middle Eastern cuisine. From the comforting aroma of saffron rice and halal lamb to the tangy richness of homemade hummus and baba ghanoush, every plate at Petra tells a story rooted in centuries of culture and family tradition.

A staple in Tampa’s food scene, Petra has earned hundreds of glowing reviews for its authentic flavors, generous portions, and exceptional hospitality.
