Grape Leaves at Petra Mediterranean Restaurant Tampa

Section: Starters & Sides

About the Dish

Grape Leaves, or Warak Enab (ورق عنب) in Arabic, are tender vine leaves stuffed with rice, tomatoes, onions, parsley and a blend of Mediterranean herbs. They’re lightly simmered in olive oil and lemon juice for a bright, savory flavor. This classic Jordanian meze is a vegetarian option available at Petra in South Tampa and Temple Terrace.

Our version comes as ten pieces served with two warm pita breads and a side of pickles. It’s a Halal-friendly dish that fits right into Tampa’s vibrant dining scene—from the Busch Gardens area to Kennedy Blvd near downtown Tampa.

If you’ve ever asked “What are grape leaves?” or “Where to eat authentic Jordanian food in Tampa?”, this dish answers both. At Petra you get big portions, real Jordanian taste, and a vegetarian option that locals love.
