About the Dish
Molukhia (ملوخية) means “mallow” or “jute leaf” in Arabic. This hearty green stew is a staple in Jordanian and Egyptian homes. At Petra in Tampa, our Molukhia With Lamb features tender lamb pieces simmered in a garlic-coriander broth. It’s served over rice or with fresh pita for a comforting meal.
The lamb is Halal-certified and slow-cooked to bring out deep, rich flavors. We source fresh jute leaves and blend them with mild spices. Find this Special Entree in South Tampa on Kennedy Blvd or near USF and the Busch Gardens area. It’s also a favorite stop for folks from Temple Terrace and downtown Tampa.
