About the Dish

Nabulsi Fried Cheese is a classic Jordanian starter that features soft white cheese pan fried in olive oil. The name Nabulsi (نابلسي) means “from Nablus” in Arabic, a city known for its salty cheese. We serve six pieces with two warm pita breads and a side of crisp pickles.

This vegetarian option available at Petra in Tampa offers an authentic Jordanian taste that is also Halal-friendly. The cheese has a mild tang and a golden crust from the olive oil sear. It pairs well with our fresh pickles and makes a light yet satisfying snack or side dish.
