Labaneh at Petra Mediterranean Restaurant Tampa

Section: Dips & Spreads

About the Dish

Labaneh (لبنة) means “strained yogurt” in Arabic. It’s a creamy dip made by slowing draining yogurt until it’s thick and rich. At Petra, our Labaneh is topped with dry mint and a drizzle of olive oil for that authentic Jordanian taste.

We serve it chilled with two warm pita bread and a side of crunchy pickles. If you’re asking, “What is Labaneh?” or “Where to eat Labaneh in Tampa?”, this is your answer. You’ll find it near USF by Busch Gardens area or over in South Tampa on Kennedy Blvd.

Many visitors wonder, “Is Petra Tampa authentic Jordanian food?” Our Labaneh uses the same simple ingredients you’d find in Amman or Beirut. It’s a vegetarian option available and perfect for a light snack after exploring Temple Terrace or downtown Tampa.
