About the Dish
What is a falafel sandwich? Falafel (فلافل) means “chickpea fritter” in Arabic and is a veg friendly staple across the Middle East. At Petra in Tampa, we serve three crispy falafel patties tucked in warm pita. It’s a top pick for anyone asking “Where to eat falafel sandwich in Tampa?” or “Is Petra Tampa authentic Jordanian food?”
This sandwich is piled with tahini sauce, fresh tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and creamy hummus. The patties are fried until golden and soft inside. You’ll taste the earthy chickpea blend in every bite, with just a hint of parsley and spices. It’s a simple dish made right, popular in South Tampa and near USF.
Falafel is common from Temple Terrace to the Busch Gardens area and up Kennedy Blvd. It’s Halal-friendly and a great vegetarian option available for Tampa locals. Stop by Petra Mediterranean Restaurant to try a true taste of Jordanian street food, close to downtown Tampa and the university district.
