Ordered take out. Chicken schwarma and something else. This stuff was fire. The sauce was delicious, most Mediterranean sauces ive tried were kind of bland. But this sauce was delicious, zesty, flavorful and had a nice "zing". Everything was great!

most insane food ever. not a single issue. best experience of my life. the workers were so kind, and so helpful. Will definitely be back!! THE COFFEEE IS UNBELIEVABLY YUMMY! I got it sweetened though because I was told it’s a more bitter taste if not!

This place is AMAZING! My husband and I went to Petra on a tuesday around 2pm. We were the only ones in the restaurant. A few people came in for to-go orders and one couple towards the last few minutes we were there. We ordered the hummus, kibbeh, 2 beef and lamb gyros and one chicken gyro. The hummus was the best ... I've ever had! So creamy! The kibbeh tasted like Thanksgiving smells. And the Gyros were to die for!!! My husband has been to Greece while in the Navy and he said that was the best Gyro hes ever had! The waitress was very sweet and did a great job. They had a little shop attached to it that sold some clothes, jewelry, and perfume called Aladdin Bazar. I hope this place continues to grow and prosper!❤️ Read More

We loved the chicken gyros, very tasty, absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The menu felt very authentic and truly reminded us of our trip to Jordan. Beautiful location, warm décor, and a welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back! Attached to the restaurant is ... a gift shop, with nice items including clothes.Plenty of parking, wondered location. Read More

This is a cool little spot, tucked away near the riverfront in downtown New albany. The gyros were delicious, with lots of meat. The tsaziki sauce is the bomb. Also had Turkish coffee with sugar, very rich and delicious! I'll definitely be back soon!

What dishes are you best known for?
The rotisserie runs all day, so most orders start with a gyro or a chicken shawarma wrapped with garlic sauce and imported pickles. After that it is the spicy chicken curry bowl, a plate of crisp falafel, and fresh hummus with warm pita. Save room for baklava.
What type of cuisine do you serve?
Petra serves Mediterranean food and Middle Eastern food the way it is cooked at home: meat on the rotisserie, sauces made in house, bread warmed to order. Our small plates are built for sharing, from labneh and halloumi to a five-plate mezza spread.
