Wow, just wow. Vegan food! AND it’s GREAT!? Everything they do here has that one extra ingredient that makes it different. You need examples: basic: fries are crunchy and thick with warm squishy center, which is talent, but special: the lemon pepper seasoning on top that goes with anything you order. Not basic: these little eggplant food bombs that pop flavor, Makdous! They are like deviled eggs, but eggplant stuffed with walnuts and red peppers (and a slight vinegar/lemon tang). So nutritional and yummy!

One of the best Mediterranean food in town. We had their grilled kabab platter and it tasted amazing.

The falafel didn’t have much parsely (if any) and the tahini sauce served with was very bitter. The shwarma was decent, although not spiced enough.

Today we visited Petra and the experience was wonderful. The food was so delicious and fresh. The flavors of the Mixer Appetizer Plate (Baba Ghanouj, Hummus, and Muthawama) was the best for me. The Meat Shawarmas was very very good. We enjoy the visited and the delicious lunch. We’ll be back soon.

Madison is seriously lacking good Mediterranean restaurants and Petra is filling that void. There have been major improvements since the restaurant changed from Nile to Petra. You’re not going here for the interior design, you’re going for the food…and wonderful service! On our first visit, we tried two different kebab plates, mint lemonade, hummus and fries. We’ve also gotten shawarma pitas/bowls with chicken and falafel. Takeout is just as good. Everything is so flavorful and huge portions that guarantee leftovers.

This is by far the best Middle Eastern restaurant I’ve had food at in Madison. This is coming from a person who knows what Shawarma actually tastes like. The staff is very friendly, and the restaurant is very clean with extremely decent booths. We ordered a lot of food for $54, so it’s pretty cheaper than other places. If you only order a few things it won’t cost you more than $30 max. Highly recommend. Thank you for this great experience. I’m definitely visiting again.

I can get Chicago and Milwaukee quality chicken shawarma right in Madison?! I’m just glad this place is a decent drive from my house because I’d be eating this for every meal everyday if I lived next to Petra. Everything I’ve tried here has been great, but man oh man the chicken shawarma with the fries and side of garlic sauce to dip in hits the spot like no other food can. Don’t delay trying this place. They blow Banzo, Naf Naf, or Med Cafe out of the water and it’s not even a close competition. This is legit, delicious, authentic, arab food. Take it to go or eat there, it’s gonna be amazing. I’ve been here twice now and our server has also been so friendly and helpful and kind. Cannot recommend enough!

Really friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Good healthy food. It’s a win win for anyone hungry for middle eastern food. Plus the service is fast and lots of seating for large groups. Would definitely make it a regular eat out. Wish they’d make middle eastern vegetarian stews too

The food is excellent! I’ve stopped in a few times both for dine in and take out. Baklava is good, staff is very nice, and they really do want to make your special. I’m so glad I work and live so close to Petra.
