    Supposedly this is maqluba mix. Look at the pictures posted by the restaurant vs this. DO NOT EAT HERE, you've been warned.

    Very very disappointed and I DO NOT recommend eating here unless you like getting sick. This picture was taken after I ate a few bites of the meal, I couldn't finish it because the taste was horrible and the food was cold (I live 9 minutes away so it couldn't have gotten this cold from when I picked it up till I got home). Furthermore, the quality of the meat is very low from the taste and how chewy the beef is. Halal or not cheap meat is very obvious to differentiate. I paid $25 for the plate and part of the charge was $3.99 for a side of yogurt. This is price gouging in my opinion, and for this type of food it should come with a side of sauce or yogurt. I ordered a maqluba mix and from the picture this is what I got. For anyone who is familiar with Middle Eastern food, this is NOT maqluba! If I wanted grilled chicken and beef I would have ordered it. The flavor was so horrible and disgusting. Did I already mention that? Yes, because it really was that displeasing. When I first tried this place it was good but time over time it keeps getting worse and worse. Safe to say I will never spend my money here eating this disgusting overpriced low quality food again. Made me sick the next day! Save your money or you're better off eating anywhere else, even McDonald's! Oh by the way, don't be fooled by the other 5 star reviews it is super obvious that there are many fake reviews or they are friends with the owner to make the restaurant appear better than it actually is. You have been warned. By the way, the food in the pictures posted by the owner looks NOTHING like the food served in the restaurant.

    I ordered Kabob King to go for dinner Friday and it hit the Mediterranean food spot! The service and ordering was quick. I ordered a couple of things and didn't check the bag so I was missing an item which is why this isn't a full 5 star experience. I should have checked the bag but that was my mistake. I ordered a chocolate cheese cake but did not get to try it. For dinner I ordered the falafel sandwich combo on pita. The pita and sandwich was was a little small but it was enough food with the seasoned fries that were a little soggy. I did order the stuffed grape leaves and enjoyed them. They were served with lime which is a little different than lemon which is preferred. The lime was an interesting combination of flavors. I wish there was a half order as 10 was too much for one.

    We were visiting from Texas and decided to stop by Petra Mediterranean Grill -- so glad we did! I…read moreordered the chicken kabob and my husband had the Petra Mixed Grill (shish kebab, kufta kebab, and chicken kebab). Garlic sauce was a great complement for everything. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The rice and salad were delicious, and I'm still thinking about the dressing on the salad -- I wish I knew what was in it! I forgot to take a picture before I started eating. Great food, great service, and an overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

They were big, hearty chunks of meat that stayed juicy and tender, never dry. My top favorite was the babaganoush. This eggplant dip wasn't too sour, wasn't too salty, and that smoky undertone made it absolutely irresistible. We also ordered the Maklubk, a traditional dish featuring a fried half chicken served over a generous mound of rice. The chicken had beautifully crispy skin and well-seasoned. The rice was impressive-soft and aromatic, layered with eggplant, cauliflower, onion and potato. Truly unique. Portions were generous. We walked out with two boxes of leftovers. The service was good and the dining area was clean and comfortable. The dishes took about 25 minutes to arrive. But once the food hit the table, it was clear the kitchen wasn't cutting corners. The chef took his/her time, and it showed in every bite. We had a genuinely enjoyable experience here.

Sometimes I get salad instead of fries, but today was that kind of day. The falafel is fresh perfectly fried extremely tasty. The hummus is their usual high-quality homemade version. Lamberger came out piping hot, juicy on a fresh bun and the fries are delicious. I also ordered an unsweetened iced tea and that came out just fine exactly the way I like it ice cold. Even though I sat outside and it's a bit noisy here and a bit hot. I really don't care because I do love this place. If something goes wrong here, make sure to tell them right away and they'll fix it. They're very good. Finally, let me just say how much I appreciate the consistency on your Quality as well as the freshness of their ingredients at all times. As usual, highly recommended!

    While in the area I craved authentic Turkish food. A quick search on our fav app and several spots…read morecame up. It was a tough decision between three places nearby and I chose Tazza. I'd hate to go against the many great reviews, but I wasn't impressed with the Turkish dishes. Firstly the name is deceiving. It should be called "Tazza Turkish, Mediterranean, Greek, Italian and other international food". And yes, I know I should've picked up on that bit of knowledge from viewing the menu - I get it. On the food - the hummus and tzatziki apps were good , except the pita bread were just reheated pitas found at the local Publix. The coconut shrimps were not coconut. The mixed grill was ok. Lastly the kunefe was eh.. The Turkish coffee was good. Overall not impressed with the Turkish food. It wasn't terrible just not as authentic as I expected. And quite overpriced

    My husband and I came here for the first time and it was an amazing experience…read more We ordered the spicy chicken hummus and it was hands down the best hummus I've ever had and I love hummus. Perfectly seasoned, creamy, and incredibly fresh. We also shared a platter that came with a whole chicken and lamb over a bed of rice. Both the chicken and lamb were cooked to perfection, extremely flavorful, and well seasoned. Nothing was dry or bland. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The service was fast and friendly, and the portion sizes were very generous. The entire platter with all of this food was only $60, which is an amazing value for the quality and amount of food you get. Freshness really stood out the most. You can truly taste the quality in every dish. We'll definitely be back. Great food, great service, and very affordable for the quality. Highly recommend.

It doesn't look like much esthetically but there are a couple really cool traditional seating areas. We were directed to booths initially and then asked to be moved to the floor seating areas, which are generally for large parties, but since it was a weekday and they weren't busy, we were seated for 3. Service was extremely quick and our server made recommendations. We ordered the fancy romance for 3 and what a presentation! We ordered the option for both lamb and chicken. I will be honest and say the lamb was a bit dry but the chicken was great! And the rice was truly the best rice I've ever eaten in my life the 3 of us were fighting over the leftovers. This is definitely a place you wanna experience. Try weekdays tho because weekends are usually packed.
