    Chicken Parmesan
    Francine L.

    Dinner in Manhattan Beach with a friend who lives in the area. She recommended this spot and I have never been so we decided to grab dinner here. What we ordered: Dip spread - Tasty, must get if you love dips! Sea bass - Delicious also a great item if you are a sea bass fan! Full chicken parmesan- if you love bold flavor this is the one for you. Also, we shared all of this between us and we had a little leftover. A cool spot and we sat in the patio area and it was nice and cozy! Overall if you are in this area I feel like this is a good spot for a cute date night or going out with friends. Service was fast and the people are chill.

    Couldn't eat this. Told waiter and that i guess id give to my dog. He did not care.

    So usually I go here and bring friends and family because it's amazing. This review is based on experience had on Thursday 2/5. Oddly the restaurant was pretty empty, maybe 3 tables. The wait staff, Chris, Was not happy to see us and let us know he wouldn't be our server. He then proceeded later to ask us if we were having anything. We asked "Are you are server?" He said "I guess" so. Again, very odd. No smile no introduction. The food came out nothing like any Petro experience. He didn't ask us how our food was. He avoided coming back to our table. We sent back lentil soup that was cold and runny. I should have sent back the lamb chops in the picture but we were uncomfortable since Chris didn't even look at me when I said I guess I'll give this to my dog. Took a Box home with all the lamp chops. So burnt. Horrible meal and my attorney still tipped 20%. I felt embarrassed for recommending we eat here. I hope to reach out to a mgr there soon about this experience.

    "Good" lamb pasta - but why add weird hot spice - not normal - not everyone likes heat and waiter should apprise guests of heat.

    Our meal was "good", not great ... built "ok" at best. Good marg - not much tequila or rum choices. Lamb pasta was pretty good - not sure the menu mentioned it had spice or pepper flakes A it should and waiter should warn people - not everyone loves spice/heat. Seems like at odd choice to add hot spice to a lamb pasta dish. Other than that was good. Horiataki (sp) greek salad was "good" but weird - why add avocado? Should be peppers, onions, cucumbers A and what a weird way to cut cucumbers???? Had to recut them - annoying - maybe go to AVRA and have their salad and replicate it like a million other geek salads - tasted good but very weird prep and preservation - weird. Make it easier to eat - avocado super weird in a Greek salad and "long cut" cukes weird vs standard chunks / clean one bite edible chunks - weird. Waiter was nice man - but not really sophisticated or knowledgeable about food or the menu preparation when asked. Not a bad night A but not great.

    The best Greek food in Los Angeles! All homemade and Petros makes you feel at home and part of the family! Try the Loukomades

    Whenever my family visits my sons Grandmother we always end up dining here and for the last 15 years it never fails. We mostly always eat dinner here and it goes without saying one of us orders the chicken lemon soup - a Greek staple and it never disappoints! On this occasion I ordered the Gyro sandwich which was plenty of food for two - delicious. My sister in law ordered the keftke meatballs entree and those were delicious as well - completely shareable - and my son ordered the special filet mignon skewers with fries that was huge and definitely could have been shared ! All delicious The service was on par as usual and our waiter was great and attentive! While the ambiance was fun and jovial -if you can score an outside table even better ! Overall always a pleasant experience and with ample parking is never an issue !

    Half Chicken Parmesan wow

    We had a magical evening again, hosted by the man the myth the legend Petros! The vibe here whether you're inside or outside is just spectacular only to be topped by the food. And food you would not expect at a Greek restaurant. For example, my favorite dish ever is chicken Parmesan some of the best I've ever had. We started with a combination of Different pitas and dips all unique. My wife had a lamb sandwich that she just loved. Our other guests had salads and more chicken Parmesan. He also has a wine that is his personal wines that are all spectacular. A must go if in the South Bay!

    Great experience and my girls loved it.

    My family and I came to eat here and it was 5 stars plus. Our appetizers were very feeling and delicious. We had fried calamari, a dish with 3 different tzatziki like dips with pita bread and we ordered one other but my daughters eat it up before I had a chance to try. We ordered the Salmon, lamb, steak, gyro and a pasta with braised rib I believe. Again just like the appetizers, it was all cooked to perfection and the taste was truly amazing. I almost didn't want to finish my steak so I could have left overs. We had 3 different desserts again my girls took them over. Our waiter was Dimitri and was perfect and attentive. He explained all the dishes to us and engaged in conversation with us. The whole experience was very welcoming and I can't wait to go back again. The best part is they accommodated us without a reservation. We will be back again soon. Also plenty of parking in the garage right under the restaurant, it wasn't noisy, we were able to enjoy our conversation without having to yell. Everything about this place is welcoming. As well the bathrooms were squeaky clean and well attended with supplies. Petros has our vote to come again and again.

    I believe is called Farm Platter Combo

    Great location. Petro's is a Greek restaurant located in an in close shopping center like area off Manhattan Beach Blvd so it's a little tricky to find with gps. Parking is hard but you can drive around and find a spot. We went on a Wednesday and it was slow. Waitress was nice and ambiance is pretty and peaceful. We had the Gloria Ferrer sparkling wine and it was delish. Also ordered the Lamb pizza. Very little lamb in the pizza and we also ordered the Chicken and shrimp combo. It was ok.

    Phenomenal as always!!! Great food, service and ambiance. Best expresso martinis in the area!

    Each bite was a taste of the beauty of Greece and its authentic food. I was in full awe by the quality, the people and service that made me feel like I was transported to Greece itself. Everything about this place was wonderful. Petros, you truly have created a beautiful restaurant! I ordered - the Greek Caesar salad - melitzanosalata - shrimp saganaki - rack of lamb - all the deserts (had to try them all) I WAS IMPRESSED WITH EACH ONE!

    We stumbled upon Petros by chance last year and adored it so much that we drove almost an hour each way to take our family back this year. My partner's family is Greek and the dishes here are all authentic and incredible (the lamb specifically is the dish they had to come back for)! On top of the great food, the location is perfect (right by Manhattan beach), they allow your furry friends on the patio during lunch, and the staff is kind and attentive. A must!

    Is it a quiet environment?

    I've only been for lunch, and it was quiet. I imagine for dinner it can be a bit noisier due to the busy location.

    Do you do brunch?

    No. They open at 4pm.

The Mediterranean menu is inventive and amazing top to bottom. Start by heading to nomadsouthbay.com and sign up for their email list to get a free hummus appetizer. It's $16 on the menu and comes with a still puffy from the oven flat bread (pita). It's worth the money, but definitely worth joining the email list. After the hummus, we split five dishes for the four of us. The roasted cauliflower is straight forward and delicious, served atop a lovely tahini and turmeric sauce. The kale salad was light and delightful. The lamb kabob plate was exactly what you want in Mediterranean food. The steak atop risotto, a favorite from Jackson's (the prior establishment here), was near perfect. But the star of the show was the Salmon Esquites--perfectly cooked salmon over fresh corn, lime, crema, and pinto beans. I am salivating writhing this! And I'm going back soon!

It was the best meal I've had in a while. I also had a spicy Mezcal with aloe cocktail, very good. The bartender came to my table personally and gave me this recommendation which I thought was really cool. I believe this cocktail will be on their Spring menu fyi. Overall, a great experience. I'm really looking forward to coming back to order the exact same thing. Lol.

Here, you don't worry about constantly increasing menu prices or garbage point of sale credit card machines that automatically prompt you to leave a 25% tip on your takeout meal. Owned by Greeks and run by Greeks, they serve the best Greek food you will ever find anywhere else. I have specifically searched everywhere in Los Angeles to find better gyro, and I've come up empty handed. The closest I've found is the sadly closed down Papa Cristo's. Let's get back to Aliki's. The gyro meat is carefully prepared out of Chicago and shipped here regularly, and don't let pita bread fool you - most places give you thin and unappetizing pita; theirs comes from a special bakery and comes out thick and beautiful, the way you want it when you dip it into their homemade hummus or melitzanosalata. Sometimes items are not available on the menu. In a world where high anxiety rests on heads of restaurant managers to never fail to have a menu item in stock, it's quite refreshing to know the restaurant is run by humans. Aliki's will forever be my favorite Greek Restaurant.

I dropped by on a Saturday afternoon, where a few other patrons were already dining. The seating has around 6 or so tables inside that can fit around 4 each, and they also have high chairs for children! I ordered a number 17, which is the gyro, and got a side of hummus and pita then found a table to sit at. I had just finished buckling my child into the high chair when my order was delivered to my table! They are super fast here! The super friendly waiter delivered my meal, and I dug in. The gyro was stuffed with meat! This is a huge deal, since a lot of places skimp and don't give enough. So extra points to Al Hamra for a job well done. The flavor of the meat was juicy and well seasoned, super delish! The hummus and pita was good, although I usually add a bit of spices to my hummus so this one was a little plainer than I'm used to. Either way, it was a nice addition to the meal. The grand finale were the desserts! I usually go for baklava, but decided to try the knafeh, a layered cheese dessert with syrup and pistachios.

Honestly, the highlight for me was the warm pita served with garlic mayo, so much better than the cold or room-temperature pitas you often get at otherMediterranean spots. We also shared dessert, the kulfi cheesecake, and left completely stuffed. Al Hamra is a cozy family-run restaurant with just a few tables, but the food makes it well worth it. I'll definitely rotate between this spot and Chicken Maison for future visits.
