“ The portions were huge for a really good price. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful and their menu is HUGE. I got an eggplant appetizer, falafel for my entre, and baklava for desert plus a bottled water and only spent 20 ! ”
“ Hands down the best Greek in this town! The Feisty Feta dip is without compare. It offers just enough spicy goodness for additional flavor but is not Hot! Always feisty feta is available as an option to amp up your Gyro... I highly recommend this move. ”
“ We just happened upon Petra one evening. What a pleasant surprise! The food was delicious and the service was wonderful! We love the intimate atmosphere. We brought our own wine and enjoyed spanakopita and dolmas before dinner. I had the Greek Vegetarian Panini (delicious) and my husband enjoyed the Greek Salad with grilled chicken. We have been back several times and taken friends with us- we have never been disappointed. ”
“ Best Greek Salad with grilled chicken. Local produce. Chicken marinated in their own sauce. Worth the visit! ”
“ Small quiet spot run by just two folks. I got a falafel plate with tabbouleh and some stuffed grape leaves and a couple sides: tzatziki & hummus. Everything tasted great and fresh! Ill be back to dine in ”
“ This is the best Mediterranean restaurant I've eaten at in recent years. Their gyro meat is the proper rotisserie shaved stuff which many restaurants don't bother with, and it makes a big difference in taste. Needless to say, their gyros are excellent, with very tasty tzatziki sauce rounding out the top-notch gyro meat. Their spanakopita is another stand-out dish, and their baklava is usually very very good as well. I've eaten there 6-7 times now over the past year and a half or so, and usually work it into the rare trips I actually make into Memphis. I've never had anything to complain about, other than them being a little slow occasionally when there are a lot of customers. It's family run, and they've always been friendly. Everyone I've gone there with has also been very impressed with the food as well. It's a good thing that I ate there before reading reviews online. Based on the reviews I'm seeing, I have to wonder if they're all really for the same restaurant located at Poplar and Kirby. To take one such review as an example, the only thing I've eaten there so far that I could consider remotely bland is their hummus, but quite frankly I expect hummus to be a bit bland. The bottom line: if you don't mind the possibility of getting slightly slow service if they're busy, and you want to try some authentic and really tasty Mediterranean food, give them a shot. ”
“ Tried the Mediterranean bowl at Petra Cafe today for the first time. Far exceeded expectations! Probably the best bowl I have tried in Memphis. The house dressing was incredible. Will definitely be back soon! 5/5 stars! ”
“ y'all try either the chicken pita or the mediterranean lamb pita—both are awesome! ”
