About the Dish
Shawarma (شاورما) comes from the Arabic word for “turning.” It’s thin slices of beef slowly roasted on a vertical spit. You might ask, what is shawarma? Where to eat shawarma in Tampa? Or is Petra Tampa authentic Jordanian food? At Petra it’s real, Halal-friendly, and always fresh.
Our Beef Shawarma Plate features marinated beef with your choice of garlic sauce or tahini. It’s served with two side orders like hummus, rice, salad or fries. This hearty meal is perfect after a day at Busch Gardens or a stroll along Kennedy Blvd in South Tampa.
The beef is tender and smoky, with just a hint of spices. You get big portions that satisfy both locals and visitors near USF, Temple Terrace, or downtown Tampa. It feels like a home-style Jordanian feast no matter where you’re coming from.
