Petra Mediterranean Restaurant serves Palestinian and Jordanian halal food on Kennedy Blvd in south Tampa, across from the University of Tampa. Everything is made fresh daily: chicken shawarma carved off the spit, charcoal grilled shish and kufta kababs, creamy hummus, and traditional dishes like mansaf, mandi, and musakhan that most Mediterranean restaurants in Tampa don't serve. The full menu is halal. Eat in the dining room, or relax on the covered patio with hookah after your meal. Order pickup and delivery online. We also cater weddings, corporate events, and parties across Tampa Bay, from small gatherings to whole lamb service for hundreds of guests. Family owned, and proud to share the food we grew up eating.
