Shish Kebab at Petra Mediterranean Restaurant Tampa
Section: Entrees (From Our Grill)
About the Dish
Shish Kebab (شيش كباب) literally means “skewered meat” in Turkish and Arabic. It’s tender cubes of marinated lamb grilled over hot coals. This classic Middle Eastern favorite answers questions like “What is Shish Kebab?” with juicy, smoky bites.
We marinate the lamb in fresh garlic, lemon juice, and a blend of spices before grilling. The open-flame cooking style locks in zest and aroma without being greasy. Folks often ask “Where to eat Shish Kebab in Tampa?” Our spots near USF, the Busch Gardens area, and on Kennedy Blvd in South Tampa are top picks.
Wondering “Is Petra Tampa authentic Jordanian food?” Our Shish Kebab delivers an authentic Jordanian taste. It’s Halal-friendly, big portions make it great for sharing, and Tampa locals from Temple Terrace to downtown come back for more.
