Food and overall atmosphere were excellent. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious.

The cold appetizer veg grape leaf n 3 dips are very good, the meals not as great as the appetizer. The lamb shish kebab too bland and the gyros lam or chicken too dry and the lamb meat have smell... they need to add more server..

Being from here I've always wanted to come to this restaurant finally and what a surprise. Simply elegant restaurant with a beautiful bay window that sits on Lighthouse Avenue. Petra's food is Mediterranean Greek / Turkish Delight which we chose the entrees a lamb sandwich and kabobs. Or appetizer was a hummus sampler tray which consisted of your baba ganoush, tzatziki and your original hummus following the pita bread. Everything was delicious the service was great. I must warn you though you will need more napkins and we'll take care of you.

I am half Lebanese and know quality Mediteranian food. Despite all the good reviews on this site I am sorry to say this experience does not compare. Very dry gyro meat, fatty, not well seasoned and chewy lamb kabobs, and mushy lamb grape leaves with practically no meat. My wife’s falafel was very dry as well. Yucky across the board. Maybe we had a bad chef day but we will not be back!

the food is really good. we had Petraeus combo and gyro plate it was delish. the place is clean. the service was fast. I recommend this place.

Very interesting place. Food is quite tasty and service was very good. Quiet and reserved, really enjoyed the difference in atmosphere here. Waiter was excellent. Worth trying, but don't expect a rushed eating experience. It isn't about getting in and eating the running on to your next event.

My husband and I enjoyed a very pleasant dining experience for lunch at the Petra Restaurant. We chose dishes from the menu specializing in Middle Eastern cuisine. We look forward to returning in the future.

Delicious Gyro. One of the best ever. Nice atmosphere with soothing Greek music in the background. Comfortable and perfect for lunch.

We ordered chicken gyros sandwich with fries, falafel and baklava. Food was good and fresh, though chicken in sandwich didn’t feel like traditional shawarma. Baklava great.

We did takeout and the food was incredible. Great gyros and the tabouleh is a must!

This restaurant is incredible, delicious The pita used is so soft and stays together. Generous portions, you can definitely taste the love in their food! Best Gyros I've have food is consistently delicious, highly recommend!

Came tonight with my grandpa. We both enjoyed it. Food was sooo delicious. Even though there were many guests, Emily was able to care of all tables. She is very experienced and professional. Thank you Emily!

I’m so glad we ordered Mediterranean food it tastes great! The chef and his son have a great character thanks a lot for your service thanks for the great place you have thanks for the everything

This restaurant is incredible, delicious Gyros Sandwich. The pita used is so soft and stays together. Generous portions, you can definitely taste the love in their food! Best Gyros I've had in Santa Cruz or Monterey County, no one else even comes close. Can't wait to be back. I've been on several occasions and the food is consistently delicious, highly recommend!

Everything is great and reliable, gyro platters , half chicken are my favorites, I do mostly take out but I ate there with my family once and it was calm and good inside to eat there. One of my favorite restaurants in town, great value, I strongly recommend this Mediterranean food

The food is very well prepared especially the lamb and rice stuffed grape leaves which are my favourite. I normally just get a couple orders to go if I'm in a rush. I will continually support this fine restaurant. Thank you

Excellent Greek and Mediterranean food. Prices are on par with what you would expect from the area but the quality is top notch.

Wonderful, relaxing atmosphere and delicious food. Greek salad, Kefta-kebab and chicken were amazing. The baklava is to die for. Kids were happy, hubs was too. All in all, an amazing experience and we will return.

We drove from Carmel to have dinner here. Food was delicious made with fresh ingredients and lots of flavor. I had the kebobs, 1 chicken skewer, 1 beef. My wife had the gyros platter. Included side salad. We added a glass of wine. Just what we wanted. We'll definitely go back.

Great food. Had the vegetarian combo, husband had the couscous yesterday. Falafel was amazing. Both dishes, overall, delightful! Turkey coffee was delicious. Lovely dining area, quiet street. Thank you!
