Our first visit to Petra House and Mediterranean/Jordanian cuisine and Oh My! Elizabeth you were such a bright ray of sunshine with your smile and bubbly personality. We couldn't have been more pleased with the service or cuisine. The meal was perfect in every way. Don't know what else to say, except have a VERY Blessed Day! and more to come. We don't get down this way from Tacoma often, but we have said that Petra House will be our stop for another fine dine experience.

First time visitor on my birthday. Food was good! We ordered a mint lemonade because of all the reviews we read, it tasted really good but we were a little disappointed because it was a slushy.
Service was good, nice waitresses, atmosphere was great, food took a lot longer to arrive than we thought it would.
Felt like a smaller, more affordable version of Merrakesh in Portland.
If you are looking to switch it up a little, I would give this place a shot!

If your looking for somewhere full of atmospheric entertainment, this is the best place in town. At night, particularly on the weekends, this place is abuzz with people who come to enjoy the food and cultural decoration of the restaurant. Petra house is decked out with pictures, paintings, statues, drapes, and furniture from the Middle-Eastern Mediterranean, including "traditional" booths. They spared no effort in making you feel like you are stepping out of the American food culture.
I ordered the Kabob Mix Plate, which combined white chicken breast and beef. I'm always weary of middle eastern food being strongly season, but this platter held the perfect balance of spice and food.
4/5 stars for two reason (mainly for preference mind you). They burn incense, and I was sitting right next to the burner. It was a little strong for me. Also, the side salad was a little too saturated in vinegar

Oh. My. Stars. This place is fantastic. The food, the tea, the atmosphere, the service. I travel for work, so coming to a restaurant that is calming and with such a vibrant and rich atmosphere with out of this world food is a real treat.
You will not be disappointed.

This is my favorite place for beef shawarma. Great atmosphere and decor with the option for traditional style seating. Traditional table-side handwashing with rosewater is part of the service. Very friendly staff. This is one of the more noteworthy dining experiences in Vancouver.
