Our first time here, and we were so glad we came here for lunch. The lady who served us was very helpful and explained the details on the dishes we ordered. The food was excellent, from the authentic tabbouleh that was so fresh to the chicken kebab that was so tender and juicy. It was like eating at home. Will definitely come here again.
Friendly service. Accurate estimated time for ordering takeout. Easy parking. Food was packaged well. Baba ghanoush was good and smoky. Kufta was my favorite of the meat dishes. I enjoyed the falafel and thought it held good crisp for takeout.
We are extremely delighted with the food and service we received here. We had ordered Falafel, Baba Ghanouj as starters and Chicken Kebab and Chicken Shawarma plates for 3 of us. They served some freshly baked pitas with olive oil as complementary. All the dishes were very fresh and served hot. We were blown away by the authentic tastes. I think it's a family run business. The owner was courteous and took good care of us. We enjoyed an outside meal wholeheartedly after a long time! Thank you Petra Middle Eastern Cuisine for the lovely lunch.
A must try, both for non meat and meat eaters. We tried the falafel, chicken shawarma and both very delicious! Generous portions for the price, and good quality. You will not be disappointed. We enjoyed the salad that came with the platter. Their homemade Zaa’atar with olive oil and pita bread is a must try.
Post hike lunchie at one of my Livermore faves. I’ve eaten here many times and recommended it to my hiking group. They were very happy with their meals. Food is always delicious and the service always excellent. Their hummus is amazing! Yummmm.
This place is awesome - super chill and homey vibe, nice owners and staff, and the food is delicious. It’s healthy, clean, and super affordable, especially compared to the other restaurants in the area. This is one of our go-to’s when we don’t want to cook but also want something that feels healthy and doesn’t weigh us down. Highly recommend for a chill dinner or lunch!
Exceptionally good! The service, the food, the taste is just perfect. Very welcoming, clean and nice place. Highly recommended! Huge thanks to the owner!
Probably one of the best Mediterranean food we have had recently! The portion size was more than enough. It was value for money and didn’t compromise on the quality. ...
