about petra Restaurant tampa
Inspired by the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, Petra Restaurant brings the authentic flavors of the Middle East to Tampa. With two locations on Kennedy Boulevard in South Tampa and Busch Boulevard near USF we proudly serve the community with fresh, traditional Jordanian and Mediterranean dishes made from scratch.
From signature favorites like Mansaf, shawarma platters, lamb chops, and falafel to refreshing mint lemonade and baklava cheesecake, our menu offers something for everyone. Guests describe Petra as a place where the food tastes “just like home” generous portions, warm hospitality, and authentic flavors that set us apart as one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in Tampa Bay.
Whether you’re stopping by after a day at Busch Gardens, dining with family in South Tampa, or ordering online for pickup or delivery, Petra invites you to enjoy a meal, a memory, and a true taste of Jordan in Tampa.
