    Mixed Grill Kabob
    Kathy M.

    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.

    12. Falafel Platter

    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.

    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.

    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!

Overall, if chicken kabobs were on the Cheesecake Factory menu, this version would be on the skinnylicious menu for those counting calories and preferring a healthier less indulgent version since flavors seem muted and textures appear lacking due to insufficient oil/grease.

The service at this visit was pleasant from the front of house staff. They stopped by my table a few times to check on me. Thoughtful and friendly....and nice smiles all around. The food is typically excellent when it is delivered to my home, and dining in did not disappoint me. I thought their Naan was standard and good, but dining inside I appreciated that the Naan was baked to crispy excellence, especially on a cold night like tonight. I am surprised to see how many people roaming here inside the restaurant on a cold Sunday night. I found out later there was a birthday party group enjoying themselves hidden behind me separated by a temporary black partition. Despite the rain this evening, many people are coming into the place to pickup their food items, and the phone oh so busy. Don't expect to bring large groups here. The restaurant has just a few tables inside. They do have a couple tables outside when the weather is good. It will probably be spring or summer when I dine in again. The heater was not working effectively. I will definitely continue to order from this place. Family friendly too. Can be noisy. At least tonight, it was. 4.5 out 5 stars $$

We ordered a bottle of the Cava, and four small plates, which was plenty of food. The mussels, labneh and Patatas bravas were all very generous portions.

We sat outside on the patio and it was a gorgeous day. The decor is perfect and I love that they've added plants to cover the staircase. Drinks were delicious and the food came out quickly. Our water glasses were rarely empty. Service was kind. Food wise if I were to stack rank I would say the hummus is the best of what we ordered. The pita bread is thick and garlicky and oily and massive. The croquettes would be at the bottom of my list simply because they're dissimilar from any I've had before and a little bit underwhelming. The tuna was fresh but it's a small dish and not much to write home about. The lamb skewers have a subtle kick to them and they're pretty substantial. I'll definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend on a warm summer day as you're covered by the canopy above, if you're looking for a rooftop vibe.
