Outstanding Mediterranean food from people who know best. The authentic Turkish coffee was incredible and hearkened me back to my short stays in Israel. The gyro was wonderful and full, stuffed with lamb and fresh ingredients like tomato, greens, and tzatziki amongst other things. The hummus was topped with a drizzle of honey and seasoning and tasted very fresh as well. The vibe was intimate, family owned, and authentic. The plants, newspaper clippings, and old school diner counter created a cozy feel. An old tv played reruns of law and order in the corner and the changing leaves outside the window on our rainy day made it feel like we were transported back to simpler times. All in all, great coffee, great food, great experience.

It was my first time trying Mediterranean food, and I loved it!
The place is small but cozy. I visited on a Saturday morning while the farmers market was going on, and surprisingly, we managed to grab one of the two tables available. There’s also a bar table if the others are full.
The staff was amazing. One of the ladies spoke Spanish, which was super helpful in explaining the menu. (I’m attaching some pictures of the food—it was delicious!)
Now, let’s talk parking. You can try parallel parking on the street (good luck!) or use the paid parking area behind the building. Since this was on a Saturday, downtown Fayetteville was extra busy, but usually people park downtown if spots are available.

I moved away to Mexico from Arkansas over 10 years ago and one of the most delicious memories of food I have ever had was here. My first mediterranean meal. My mom still lives there and she says its delicious still. I wish I could find something similar in Mexico City

I’ve been coming to Petra’s for years and this is my first time leaving a review. This is some of my favorite middle eastern food, and I’ve tried so many places since I’ve lived in Chicago for the past five years. I usually get the mayo platter with baba ghanoush and tabbouleh with an extra side of the grape leaves. The baklava and Turkish coffee are also great! Highly recommend!

Cute place, great service, & amazing food! Plenty of vegan-friendly options. Small seating space, but in a way that makes you feel cozy!
The weekday specials are pretty sweet too!

Having spent a good amount of time all over Jordan, I can say this place has been the most authentic and best overall eating experience of a place I’ve been to Stateside.
I really loved the cozy setting. Not a big restaurant like I expected, but very much what I’d experience in many small food shops in Jordan.
Their Turkish Coffee is spot on! The spice blend was far more authentic than what I’ve tasted with other stateside claims to Turkish coffee (this place, you have to remember not to drink the entire cup )
Great place, highly recommend.

Nice little local cozy place. The vegetarian options are good. Surely worth a try if you are around. Difficult to find place for a larger group though. The Baklava and Turkish coffee combination goes well. I will definitely return here sometime for lunch.

Everything was great! I recommend the “Petra Platter”. The Falafil Salad and wrap were also great!

A quaint and fun spot for fresh Mediterranean food and daily lunch specials! The restaurant staff are always really friendly, and the food’s incredible. I’d recommend the Petra Platter for a sample of several things along with pita for dipping – the green sauce is to die for.
