I visited there one day to grab myself some lunch. I purchased a falafel kebab and it was really tasty. Once I chose my three sauces, my kebab was warmed up and then wrapped in foil which kept it nice and hot. They weren't stingy on the filling which is always a plus. On my next visit I might choose a side of pita with homemade hummus; sounds delicious yes? You can also purchase fries to have with your order. So if you're in the area and in need of a takeaway, why not try Eden Kebab on Mt Eden Road, near Shackleton Road.

They also do the yummy little Middle Eastern savouries that I'm fond of with the veggies inside. Hubby raves about the chicken wraps so I assume they are also good and the portions are man-size. I got them to make me a burger once though which was a bit of a mistake. Just major bread-y bun with not much taste. The chips and wedges are good though but I would recommend sticking to what they do best - kebabs.

We had the Shish Kebab meal together with an order of Hummus with pita chips and a baklava for dessert. Cost = $33. We devoured it all and thought it to be delicious. I may be a bit over-enthusiastic because we are somewhat deprived of good ethnic restaurants in Southwest Florida, but I must say we loved this meal.

A pretty small menu, full of lamb and falafel versions of kebabs. I ordered a $22 special of lamb sis kebab - and I was delivered a full plate of lamb, lentils and salad. I was really happy with my meal choice and didn't have any order jealousy! This place isn't a BYO. But it is small and cheerful, with it's interesting décor (so many camel figurines around the place)! A couple of kids were having a great time playing with a box of toys that were in the cafe, which I haven't seen around at many other cafes!

The meat was a wee bit tough in places (I had lamb) but it tasted nice, and the salads were fresh. It was okay. The place itself is pleasant enough, you know, it looks like a kebab shop, it's got a counter and a drinks fridge and all that. Nothing really to distinguish it though, and nothing you'd describe as atmosphere. It's okay. And the guy who took my order was polite and smiled but he wasn't chatty and seemed almost a bit subdued or uncomfortable. But you know, he was okay. I can't really fault this place, but neither can I heap praises on it. It's fine, and if you're in the area and want a kebab, well, you'll get an okay one here.

Instead, come here expecting fresh, made to order and packed full of flavour authentic Middle Eastern dishes. I am still making my way through the menu but my favourite dish to date is definitely the Lamb Shawarma - a delicious flatbread wrap stuffed full of grilled meat, herbs, pickles, tahini and a delicious garlic sauce. Incredibly satisfying but still somewhat healthy or at the very least, nourishing. Also worth a try are the Kooba - bulghar wheat dumplings stuffed with spiced lamb. I think they could do with a little more seasoning but nevertheless, they're pretty damn tasty. Although Petra's decor suggest it's more of a takeaway joint than eat-in restaurant, for a mid-week dinner I think it's legit. You will have to dine off paper plates but they have some preeetty sweet sequined chandeliers and if your lucky you may even be treated to some never-heard-before K.Perry remixes.

The main problem is that it's really expensive. Considering it's located at the heart of Ponsonby rd though, that's hardly a surprise. Their milkshakes are really hot stuff. I usually get one of the vegetarian kebab thing, some tots, and a milk shake when I go there. You gotta admit, that's an undeniably classic line up. The aforementioned potato tot things are bloody delicious. Really really into them. I also like their neon sign. Fatimas gets really damn busy, so if you're going to hit them up during the peak period, expect a bit of a wait.
