I Ordered food from Petra grill, Galveston court. yet when I picked up my order all the chicken kabob I ordered was cut up like strip. he had the nerve to tell me that's what I told him? I was very disappointed. I know what Kabob is and I ordered Kabob not cut up chicken up kabob. I will never order from here again. i am done with this damn place read more

The falafels were on point and quite tasty. I actually felt bad about sharing them. I was disappointed in the flavor of the hummus, which is to say there was none. Paprika was sprinkled on top and it was a generous portion, while smooth and creamy... no flavor. No lemon, no garlic, just chickpea. The Platter was plentiful, good portion size. I'm not generally a couscous eater, but there was a nice variety to the flavor. The pita was spot on, and again, plentiful. Very light and airy, plus it held form against the hummus. I'm a sucker for spanakopita, so I felt inclined to try the spinach pie. I was torn between spinach and meat, but I'm happy i chose the spinach. I think there was a bit or seed blended in, but whatever it was gave a great texture. read more

The chicken was very dry and bland. The tomato, pepper salad I had was very very good. I also got some kind of whipped garlic butter and it was great. The chicken could be better tho read more

Petra Grill - Chicken Kabob Combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

I ordered the mixed grill kabob through grubhub. At first I could not decide which kabob place I wanted to try. But this place stood out for several reasons: 1- They offered a discount for first time customer !! 2- The portion size seemed perfect, not too much or too little. 3- The food looks amazing. So I decided to go for this place and I am so glad that I did. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING !!! I loved everything that I ordered, particularly the chickpeas!! Everything was very flavorful and on point. Nothing was too salty or too bland. I am very picky with my food but I have to say that I have not had food this perfect in a long time. read more

Petra Grill - Mixed Grill Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Visited Potomac Mills today and tried a new spot. I consider this place to be both a Mediterranean eatery as well as an Indian cuisine spot. I had the falafel appetizer platter with spinach, chickpeas and rice with black beans as my side choices. The food was good, however, I'm a big fan of both Mediterranean food and Indian food so I've eaten at places that have served authentic dishes from these cultures, I wouldn't say this place is one. The food was still really good. The price is very reasonable and the portions are big. I'd definitely eat here again next time I visit that mall. read more

Petra Grill - 12. Falafel Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

First thing: this is inside the Potomac Mills mall. It's going to be crowded, your food will be rushed, and it will be coming off of a stove right behind the cashier. For a food court joint, your expectations should be just that: food court food. This place doesn't try to be a sit down grille or an authentic place. The food: delicious! My husband and I both had a gyro. We noticed they add feta cheese in addition to the meat, lettuce, tomato and tzatiki sauce. I don't think many places do that, at least not in our experience. For $7, there was a good amount of meat and enough flavors to satisfy our hunger. Reading the reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect as some say the food is really good while others seem to be distracted at the speed of this establishment. I'm glad I found this place on Yelp before going shopping. read more

Petra Grill - Gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Food was delicious. I ordered the chicken kabob with a Greek salad. I recommend bringing a small bottle of Tabasco sauce --the best bang for your buck food! Hummus is good too. They have mango drinks in small bottles that are delicious. read more

I've been coming to this place since I could remember...say 2006! That speaks for something! I am not sayin it's the best wanna-be Mediterranean food you will find in the area - it's NOVA and I think we have a pretty decent selection. Its the consistent quality of the food which got me coming back. Woodbridge really sucks when it comes to wanting kabobs and this place is my best option! I always go for the chicken shawerma combo or the chicken shawerma rice platter. I love their side salad and they don't sting out on quantity either! You will be nicely stuffed when you're done! Also, def grab that yummy garlic sauce, I dip anything and everything in it! It's like crack - keeps you hooked! read more

My friend and I walked the mall for 5 hours and our hunger pain was finally kicking our butts. Cheesecake Factorys waiting time is usually 2+ hours and we didnt really want to tip so we settled for the food court at Potomac Mills. I was actually craving kabob and Petra Grill was the only option. I ordered the Combo Platter which has chicken and shami kabob. It came with rice, salad, and the bread with white sauce. The rice was bland with a weird after taste. Im used to adding saffron on my rice so maybe it tasted different to me. The salad was probably the best part of the dish, the salad dressing was not tangy, it was just right, I just wished they gave a little more of the salad. The bread was actually a toritilla wrap and not actual bread, also very stale tasting as if it were just sitting around waiting to be headed up. The shami and chicken was way over cooked, and I thought drenching it in the white sauce would help but the sauce tasted different. I dont know if it were just that day where my taste buds were off or maybe they had an off day. But I am willing to give it another try. read more

This place is great. The food is delicious and tasty. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We will come back.

Located in the back of the Potomac Mills Food Court Petra Grill offers offers halal food. When I go here I get the gyro platter and for it to be from the food court I find for the price it's not bad. The portion size is very ample and I can never finish the entire meal. I do not enjoy their mango lassi it is too sweet for me, but you would have to try to see if it is for you. Depending on who is working they may give you a small sample to see if you like it or not. I give it 3 stars bc I usually get a few dry pieces of meat that are a little burnt ( as you can see in the picture). I expect to get them but I wish they'd remove it before serving dry pieces to customers. I guess since they give you soo much meat they figure you won't notice lol! I do like the rice, bread, and dressing. I also removed a star b/c they used to offer chick peas which I enjoyed but not anymore. They were out of the baklava :( If you enjoy this dessert you will like theirs as it is very sweet and very good!! Depending upon the time of day you go you may have a little wait but I have never waited more than 5 minutes for my food. Please stay nearby as they will call your # only once or twice then move on to the next order. Good size portions, good food, cheap price is 3 stars for me! read more

Petra Grill - Gyro Platter $6.99 - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

This Mediterranean place is located in the food court of Potomac Mills. I was a bit hesitant at first because food court places are hit or miss but man am I glad that I came here! I ordered the beef schwarma and had a little side of hummus. The flavor on both was very good, seasoned just right. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quick Mediterranean food fix! read more

This place is by no means a Mediterranean Kabob place. All three of our meals were burnt with meats flavored not even fit for my dog to eat. I even got some bead that was nothing but a bread used for their gyros rolled up in aluminum foil. Save your disappointment and don't waste your money on these meals that are mostly $15 each. read more

Have you ever ordered food (where there were menu pictures) and the food you got looked just like the picture (but better)? In my 29 years of life, I don't think this has every happened to me. Any joint who can do that alone deserves 4 stars no matter what. Petra Grill should change their tag line "Best Mediterranean Food in Town" to "Best Food in Town. Period." Potomac Mills Mall's food court and their shoppers are not worthy of the Petra Grill. In fact, the town of Woodbridge is not worthy!! After a super exhausting day of Ikea / outlet shopping, we decided to get a "snack" before going home. Totally uninspired by the food court regular mumbo-jumbo (and the free handouts of meat on a toothpick by the random asian and cajun places), we stumbled on Petra Grill. Since I just wanted a "snack" I order the baba ghanouge. My partner ordered the Gyro (again, only trying to satisfy a snack-attack). As we waited and saw this glorious display of different dishes being past out to the various patrons, I was kicking myself for not ordering the kufta kabob platter or the chicken shwarma salad. But, what we got was absolutely FANTASTIC. Gyro stacked and packed with yummy, tender meat a suburb ratio of lettuce, feta cheese, and a delightful yogurt sauce. My baba ghanouge was amazing; the texture was perfect. All for under $11. I'm not worthy!! Best bang for your buck. Why is Petra Grill wasting their talents on Woodbridge, Potomac Mills, or the stupid food court?? Hopefully they are just testing out their skills to market it to the rest of the free world. But, the rest of the free world may shout out "we're not worthy; we're not worthy!" read more

The best mediteranian food in the woodbridge area. Hands down. I visit the mall often but in most cases travel there only to go to Petra Grill. After living in the middle east for a few years this is the best by far that I have found. The mixed mezza and the spinach pies are the BOMB!! It takes me back everytime. Warning: Its always packed so be ready to wait on some occassions, especially weekends. The bread does not seem fresh but will do. My favorite meal combo is the lamb and kofta. I just wish they sold cheese bread. In Qatar they had a resteraunt called Turkey Central. They had the best cheese bread make fresh by the order. UMMM! Anyway, this place is awesome. read more

I used to really like this place the once in a while I came to Potomac mills. But today I don't know what happened to the quality and the food. Right after eating the chicken and beef shawarma platter I felt I'll. I have been throwing up since. read more

I do appreciate the variety that Petra Grill brings to the food court at Potomac Mills--it's a nice change of pace from burgers, deli sandwiches, and stir-fries and it might also be a healthier option than some of the others. That said, I found the food to be a big disappointment. The beef kabob was cooked well but had very little flavor. The rice was just white rice with some oil mixed in. The bread was the driest I've every had at a kabob shop--it crackled apart and was too dry to absorb anything. The highlight of my plate--and the reason I'm giving Petra Grill two stars instead of one--was the salad. It was an interesting mix of green and yellow peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions with a sumac dressing. I ended up mixing it into the rice to save my plate from being a total yawn. For $11, I want food with flavor and bread I can actually chew. read more

Best Shawarma's in the DMV!! I recently visited Saudi Arabia and ate a whole bunch of chicken shawarma's and came back craving them like no other and tried a bunch of places that couldn't match the flavor. That being said, I can honestly say that this place absolutely NAILED IT flavor-wise. Only difference is that here they are about 2x the size (hey that's America for ya) and have lettuce and tomato in them instead of French fries and a pickle - although I'm sure they would be willing to make it the way you want them to if you just asked - still tastes absolutely amazing though. If you want 100% authentic Shawarma's then go here, you won't be disappointed. It's pretty cheap too, ~$16.50 for 2 chicken shawarma combos which come with fries and a drink. The Shawarma's are about the same size as a chipotle burrito to give you a sense of scale. They aren't as thick but are a bit longer in length. Sooo good! read more

I gave him 1 out of five because he was fast in giving me my order, in which it was 2 mixed grill for 12.99 for each. Meat was dry no marinating I think, not good food, this will be my first and last order their, now am going to Starbuck trying to wash down the tasteless food. read more

Petra Grill - a group of people walking through a restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

quite tasty i got lamb kebab, it was a bit on the pricey end but all in all , it was too much food! the meat was a bit tough and chewy which not how i lamb to taste but ah well it is in a food court afterall , i dont have high expectations read more

I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich and was NOT impressed AT ALL! It was haphazardly thrown together and very "empty". I'm used to getting shawarmas in the pita pocket filed to the brim with salad, onions, spices, and meat topped with a falafel. What I received was a few pieces of chicken with wilted lettuce, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce rolled up in a pita. I will NOT be going back there again. I'll make the drive to Wheaton and go to Max's Kosher Café when I have a taste for one. VERY DISAPPOINTED! read more

The food was not. Worth the money spent. The flavor of the kabob was no where near the expected Mediterranean flavors. The shawarma is actually not the actual shewarma. I would call it as grilled chicken. Way back 3 to 4 before this place used to be good.. read more

Mall food is generally full of sugar, salt and MSG, and Mediterranean mall food is bland and stale. Petra, on the other hand, was surprisingly tasty. I was drawn by the healthy-looking menu and reasonable prices, so decided to give it a try. It was tasty, fresh and healthy! My chicken was made to order, the rice was soft and mixed with a bit of noodles (like it supposed to), the salad was fresh and yummy: radishes, bell peppers, greens and onions. And it came with a side of fluffy garlic! I was quite satisfied, and if I find myself at Potomac Mills again I will definitely eat there. read more

This place was awesome before they changed locations and upgraded their space to a new one. The flavors are just not the same. I have been waiting with anticipation for many months for them to reopen. The chicken I had was hit or miss in the flavor. One bite it would taste like before then the next bit would be totally different. The cucumber salad didn't taste the same at all. The hummus was another huge disappointment!! I really loved this place. I will probably give it one more shot and I really hope it will in's me back. I loved it before the move/ upgrade to the new location. read more

Had a gyro meal. Was very disappointed. Not like any of the gyros I've had before. Bread was very thin and falling apart. Meat didn't taste fresh. read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE PETRA GRILL!!!!!!! The gentlemen who work there are very nice and accommodating.... and yes indeed, this is the BEST Shawarma in VA, and Canada ( I can say that cuz I had some shawarma when I traveled to Canada recently). I experienced this heavenly delight when I was passing through Kuwait on my way to a military deployment in Iraq. I too had searched high and low for good schawarma and was thrilled to find it right up the street!!! The only thing that keeps me from stopping as often as I would like is the parking. Parking at Potomac Mills is a nightmare and if I can't find a relatively close spot, I drive on. Not that I mind parking way out and walking for the exercise (lord knows I need it) but, I want to get home and dig in to my shawarm ASAP!!! They have the best french fries too believe it or not! LOL (of course except for McDonald's on a good day). The Shawarma is the best thing there- of course, because you can't get any better, this is all I get so I haven't change dup much BUT, I have had their hummus and the Kibbeh - both also very very good. read more

My wife and I have visited this location twice. The atmosphere is wonderful and the food is a great reminder of time spent in the Middle East. Our family enjoys this little restaurant and our favorite dish it the falafel platter with fries on the side! Thanks for providing a fantastic experience each time. read more

Avoid if possible. The chicken shawarma was dry and tasteless and the falafel needed salt. The customer service was friendly but the food-TERRIBLE and overpriced for the tiny wraps. read more

I always order and pick up from the Manassas location. The food is awesome. Great Gyro and salads and great also. The rice is perfect... so, today I DoorDashed Petra Grill... little that I know, Doordash used the mall/Woodbridge location... the food was subpar to the location in Manassas (not even comparable) and I was sent the wrong item. Thus, 1 star. read more

The worse experience, little food for your bucks.. much better places around it.. two stars just because I liked the rice read more

Petra Grill - $15 plate .. I think the cow went to Harvard .. $$$ - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

The best shawarma I had in Woodbridge or at least so far in the DC metro area. Their garlic sauce is amazing. They only negative aspect is that they are a little thrift in their meat serving. Other than that it's a good place to eat inside the mall. read more

Great easy food court stop that offers a much nicer selection than the usual - good portion sizes and fresh ingredients make for a great lunch stop! read more

The food here is amazing! Flavorful, big portions, & plenty of sides included with your meal. You may have to wait 10-15 minites while your food is being cooked to order, but it's well worth the wait. People complain about the price, but I feel you pay for the quality & authentic Mediterranean experience. (And it's plenty cheaper than going to one of the many chain restaurants around the mall) The chicken kabob here is my favorite; flavorful, moist, & always hot & fresh. The platters all come with rice, a veggie salad, & naan. For an additional $1.99 you can even add fries & a beverage. You won't leave this place hungry or unsatisfied. P.S. You have got to try the hummus! read more

Thank goodness for Petra Grill! I work at the mall and have eaten here countless times and have NEVER been disappointed. Best things here: kufta, steak, and chicken kabob, tabbouli, baba ganoush, hummus, tzatziki, naan, stuffed grape leaves, falafel, baklava- everything is so delicious. Can't understand why anyone would give them a bad review. The staff is always very nice. It can be a long wait sometimes but well worth it! Totally in a class of its own compared to the rest of the food court. About $10 will get you a delicious platter with plenty of food and a drink to wash it down. Something more like $6-7, order a wrap. They have gyros as well as falafel wraps. Yum delicious! Also try the Petra Grill located off Hoadly road between Woodbridge and Manassas. But for mall food at potomac mills, no place is better. read more

They make better taboli than my mom did! Great food just wish they were not it the mall.

Great gyro and falafel sandwiches.

The worst kabobs I ever had. The bread was flat and tasted like flour. The rice was tasteless. The chicken was still uncooked. Don't waste your money. read more

I miss you Petra Grill. Don't go to Potomac Mills as often since I moved from PWC, but when we do, if we eat at the mall, this is the only place that we go. However, why did you get rid of the spinach pies? Whyyyyyy???? My daughter and I dream about them. I make my own now, but I haven't been able to duplicate the dipping sauce or the green sauce that comes with the shawarma. PS, the guy in charge (or was in charge) with the light eyes, is hot. read more

One of the most disappointing meals. Ordered one thing and after waiting for almost ten minutes, I was given something else. The naan bread was stale and was probably sitting arid all day. I won't be back. read more

Delicious Gyros and clean. You see them cook it in front of you. Had hummus on the side which was delicious. Highly recommend in the food court. read more
