    Pickled radish
    Jill R.

    This restaurant will do well in Atascocita! Every table was occupied by the time we left. The owner was so friendly and helpful. He was waiting tables and made everyone feel welcome. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. It was a bit warm inside, so hoping they'll get that fixed going into summer. We ordered the pickled radishes. They were crunchy and paired well with my chicken shawarma wrap. The chicken was tasty. It could have used a little more tzatziki sauce. The hummus and pita was tasty. My husband had the chicken shawarma plate with rice and hummus. The winner of the night, for me, was the baklava cheesecake! I'm sure I'll be dreaming about it tonight! We'll def go back and try other menu items like the lamb shank and gyro.

    Side Feta Salad

    It's been tough trying to find some good Mediterranean food in the area and this one didn't fall too short. I ordered the Combo Kabob Plate ($24.95) which came with came with chicken, shrimp and kefta kabob. The plate had great presentation and everything was hot when I picked it up. The overall high on this plate was the chicken. You can tell it was marinated and has a great flavor and tenderness to it. You could really taste the authentic lebanese spices in the kefta kabob and had a strong flavor of mint in it. The shrimp weren't the best, you can tell they were previously frozen. As for the rice, it was not good and somehow overcooked and undercooked at the same time. The hummus was decent and the feta salad is good if you're a garlic lover. The plate also came with pita bread but it's very thin and chewy, I would pass on that. I also ordered some tahini sauce ($0.95) which I loved as it was super lemony!! I think I would probably return for the chicken kabobs again and maybe try something different on the menu because the flavors are there in the food. I do feel like for $24.95 I did not receive a lot of food and looking through the menu everything seems overpriced.

    Cafe Petra is a great addition to the area. I expected a pleasant dinner, but Cafe Petra exceeded my expectations. The food was so flavorful and portions were generous. We will definitely be back! The restrooms are clean and service is friendly. It's a BYOB which is a plus.

    I'm so happy to have found Cafe Petra. It's beautifully decorated and the service was amazing. We had a group of 5 and decided to order the family meal style for 5. The food was divine and arrived promptly. We could have gotten away with the 3 person family meal because portions were huge! I will definitely be returning.

    Combination Gyro plate
    Tina S.

    I love the decor and details they've put into the inside. They have nice seating outside too for when the weather cools down. The menu has a good selection. We ordered the combo gyro plates and I got the larger one that included the appetizers too. Portions were great and they serve each plate with a delicious salad. Very fresh! Service was good, although, I think the waitress was new and had to ask about a few things, but she was attentive throughout our dinner. My only critique is that the beef/lamb gyro was a bit salty for my liking. I look forward to trying the redfish dish next time. They have BYOB, so bring your wine, if you like it with dinner . They'll provide stemware. I'll be back!

    Can't say anything right now I'm having a shawarmagasm. I was reluctant to go but man is great and their prices are phenomenal place is so pretty and clean and they even let my puppy come with me inside. I forgot to say best part they use chicken breast and it's not dry no salt or seasonings needed when you get home to eat it

    Baba ghanoush, pita and the chicken/gyro combination plate
    Collin K.

    Cafe Petra is a much needed and welcomed addition to the atascocita area. The atmosphere in the restaurant is really nice, they actually put quite a bit of effort to give the Mediterranean feel. Service is great, all the staff is very friendly and welcoming. My wife and I have ate here twice now and we have had the baba ghanoush, combination chicken and gyro plate, the lentil soup and the baklava cheesecake. Everything was delicious and the portions are very generous. We really enjoyed the baba ghanoush and both the chicken and gyro meat. Apparently they are byob too which is always welcomed in my opinion. Especially for a nice little cafe like this place. My only complaint is they need a sign at the front that says to either seat yourself or wait to be seated. Give it a try you won't regret it!

    Fried Cauliflower

    Everything was so YUMMY!! Inside is decorated nicely. The staff was amazing and so kind. They were packed and we sat at a table outside until one inside became available. Normally for this quality food we would have to travel at least 45 minutes, but it's just right down the road now!! We met the owners brother I believe. Such a nice guy and you can tell they all take pride. The price is worth it for the serving sizes and flavor that you get! Can't wait to go back!!

This is the case with Lama Mediterranean Cuisine in The Woodlands. My wife had a doctor's appointment at 2 pm and we live about 35 miles away, I figured go early and get some lunch and then get to the doctor with a full stomach. We put the address into the GPS and pulled right up in front of the restaurant. While it was nice weather outside, we decided to sit indoors and I am glad we did because I noticed some diners outdoors were batting away insects. Our server, Abraham came quickly and took our drink orders while we studied the menu and admired the beautifully decorated interior of the restaurant. Blue is a strong color they have used effectively, there is a large dinging room for a big group just off the main dining room and a bar at the far west end. We ordered some appetizers and they came out quickly, We had a small order (4 pieces) of the Fried Hallumi Cheese and also Kebbeh. Both came with a small sampling of cucumber, tomato and red onion which paired well. The Kebbeh had the most fragrant seasoning, I believe a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and clove. The serving sizes were ample and after trying some we both agreed to save room for the entrees we ordered, my wife had the Gyro Sandwich and I had the Chicken Shawerma, both were wrapped in a super fresh pita that had to be house made. My wife had the regular fries and I had sweet potato which were cooked perfectly, so light and crisp. We couldn't resist ordering some baklava to go, my wife thought walnut sounded good but our server said he felt the cashew was the best so we ordered that. When he brought it out, he said that there were 2 pieces of the cashew but he also added one of walnut at no charge, what a treat. We will be coming back here, the restaurant overall was super fresh and clean, service was great and the food was fantastic.

When we entered the vibe was relatable to the name of the restaurant but after a few minutes we heard Bollywood songs and I love Bollywood songs but I feel like the vibe of the restaurant should relate to the cuisine and ambiance. It automatically gives an impression that the restaurant isn't Greek or Lebanese for example. Anyway, we had ordered kibeh and lentil soup for appetizers. The lentil soup was the worst lentil soup I've ever had it was frozen we asked them to heat it but it still tasted disgusting. I couldn't eat it. The kibeh was alright the dip with the kibeh was good. For entrees, we ordered the chicken shawarma plate and combo kebabs. The plates came with a salad the dressing was interesting but I'm not a fan of feta cheese so I didn't have the salad. The shrimps and chicken kebab of the combo kebabs were not bad I really liked the shrimps. The hummus was okay and the rice was very bland. The service was quick I believe because everything felt like it was pre-cooked except for the kebabs but the beef kebab wasn't cooked entirely one of the pieces it was raw. The shawarma was not good at all! Very disappointing Our bill was $60 and we were charged a 2.5% fees for credit card!

When we arrived on a Tuesday evening, it was empty other than maybe one other family. When we entered we were told to pick a seat and then given the menus. The second I saw the menu it seemed a bit expensive- I was looking at the vegetarian plate where you can pick 5 which was for $25 I think- I got falafels, tazeki, hummus, another spread, pickled turnips. They didn't have many other options that were appetizing- I'm not into the eggplant or okra. While waiting for the food the waitresses were sitting on their phones chatting laughing, I thought it was unprofessional, that's not what you want to see when you go to a nice place. We were given salad- the salad already had dressing on it which was spicy! Me and my friend could not figure out what it is - it was tangy spicy I think from garlic more chemically tasting rather than Cheyenne spicy. A bit too spicy for both of us. I would have wished they put the dressing on the side so we can add on our own. The food arrived and was given pita bread as well which was nice. The food was not flavorful, the hummus tasted Bland, falafels were actually pretty good but only were given . The pita bread I was hoping was gonna be fluffy but this was so thin and chewy didnt like it. Everything wasn't to my liking or lacking something except the falafels which I only had two of. I think the falafel wrap might have been a better option but due to the price I won't be back.
