Baklava at Petra Mediterranean Restaurant Tampa
Section: Dessert
About the Dish
Baklava is a sweet pastry made of layers of thin phyllo dough filled with chopped walnuts and baked until golden. After baking, we pour a simple syrup of honey and sugar over each piece for a sticky, rich finish. It’s a favorite dessert for anyone asking “What is Baklava?” in Tampa.
Baklava (بقلاوة) means “small pastry” in Arabic and is popular across the Middle East. At Petra, our version reflects authentic Jordanian taste without being too heavy. It’s a vegetarian option available for anyone looking for a Halal-friendly dessert.
You’ll find our baklava at both Tampa locations—near USF and the Busch Gardens area, and in Downtown South Tampa on Kennedy Blvd. Whether you’re dining in South Tampa or grabbing dessert after Temple Terrace sightseeing, this walnut-filled treat hits the spot.
