Petra Mediterranean Bistro

James Wald

I chose this restaurant based upon their vegetarian options, and I had an amazing meal. Plenty of open tables on a Tuesday at 6:30pm, and I was seated within a few minutes. My server took my order and the first dishes were served within 5 minutes, super fast. I'm familiar with dolmathes but never tried them before, so took the opportunity to do so here. They were good, but didn't have a ton of flavor - most of the flavor came from the sauce and garnish. The salad accompanying my entree was served with the appetizer, and it was leaf lettuce and other dark greens, no iceberg, with a light viniagrette. The main course I ordered was Vegetarian Shawarma, and it took a while to come out but was super hot and fresh when it did and looked amazing. It also tasted fantastic, and was exactly the type of dish I was looking for. Rice was great texture, the mixed variety of veggies was cooked perfectly, and tahini sauce added excellent flavor. I tried a specialty beverage, 'coconut lemonade' but it just tasted like watered down soda fountain lemonade and I didn't get any coconut flavor from it. My dinner was fantastic and the service was great. I highly recommend eating here!

Petra is a fine place, I went with the falafel plate and a side of hummus, the falafel was nicely done, crisp, not a lot of oil, perfectly balanced taste. The tahini hint was amazing. Hummus was good as well, though I think the lemon squeeze was just on the lemon fiber end, overall great option for a Mediterranean lunch/dinner in Seattle

Everything we had was tasty, but the best was the ouzo with gyro meat. They also have a happy hour with drink and appetizers. Try the shrimp skewers! Staff was great. Atmosphere was nice.

Umm so fantastic! We were visiting Seattle and gave this little gem of a restaurant a shot! Very impressed with the flavor profile (especially the soup). The portions were quite large and very filling! Would definitely go back! Plus you know it's a great spot even when they have a ton of people picking up their lunch order!
