Veggie Platter at Petra Mediterranean Restaurant Tampa
Section: Shareable Platters
About the Dish
The Veggie Platter is our signature shareable mezze. It brings together house salad, creamy hummus (حمص), smoky eggplant dip called babaganoush (بابا غنوج), tender grape leaves (waraq enab), crispy falafel, and smooth tahini sauce. Everything is served with two warm pita breads and crisp pickles.
Babaganoush in Arabic means ‘smoked mash,’ and hummus (which means ‘chickpeas’) is a staple in Jordanian cuisine. We use simple ingredients and traditional methods. The falafel is freshly fried for a golden crunch, and grape leaves are hand-rolled with rice and herbs.
This vegetarian option is Halal-friendly and perfect for sharing with friends or family. Whether you’re dining in South Tampa, near USF by Busch Gardens area, or grabbing lunch on Kennedy Blvd, the Veggie Platter offers a taste of authentic Jordanian flavors right here in Tampa.
