Lovely, close quarters spot for some good Mediterranean food. Loved the mix of flavors. Worth the visit. The Petra platter was a great mix of everything. That hummus let me tell you is a work of art. Also tried the foule and it’s worth a taste!

Was looking for a new place to try in Fayetteville and stopped here after reading some good reviews. Safe to say it exceeded my expectations. I had the Petra platter which was fresh and delicious and filling and just perfect, made even more so by the Turkish coffee which was delicious. Love this place!

Cute little café with very limited space. The food is good and well presented but not authentic and the portions are small. The staff is professional but not too friendly or accomodating, so set your expectations accordingly when eating here. Very close to the Fayetteville square and you can walk all over the place from this location.

Nice little local cozy place. The vegetarian options are good. Surely worth a try if you are around. Difficult to find place for a larger group though. The Baklava and Turkish coffee combination goes well. I will definitely return here sometime for lunch.

A charming little eatery just off the street downtown! Nice light Greek fare. I especially enjoyed the Foule, an herby bean dish topped with superior olive oil. Warming and delicious. There isn’t a great deal of seating, but I think it just adds to the coziness of the place.

The food was marvellous. However, I have a complaint about the portion size though. The place looks like a hip, small eatery, with bar like sitting arrangements. Due to ongoing pandemic, they have still not opened the dine in. Pretty understandable! The social distancing is difficult to follow in that small cozy environment. Maybe the food would have tasted even more better if consumed there. However, we picked and ate in the home. The gyro meat ( chicken, beef/lamb) was excellent. The hummus, baklava and the falafal were all good. Vegetarian people may find the place as their paradise, as most of the menu is vegetarian. Next time I wish to go back for a cup of Turkish coffee.

This is the best Mediterranean restaurant in Arkansas! I’m retired military and been all over the place, but Petra Cafe is by far the best food I’ve tasted in years! I am so happy we found Petra, our hearts melted with each bite, was so favorable, beautiful, undescribable enjoyment from the food is surreal ❤ . Very small diner, dont let the looks fool you, seriously ORDER A PLATTER(#2) OMG!! You won’t be sorry. The lamb is superior quality. Ok I’ll hush now and finish the food, its glorious ! 5 stars, best food in Arkansas! Trust Lala

Great food! Fun atmosphere. I wish they were open longer hours. We’d eat here more often.
