I loved this place while visiting Petaluma. It was my first time and I ordered a sandwich which was great but the bowls looked amazing too. I was by myself for lunch and the owner Sam made me feel welcome and comfortable. We chatted a bit and I could tell he is a great person, and in seeing the locals coming in that knew him well, I could tell they love this place too. I hoped to come back before leaving but wasn't able to. I'll be back again for sure when visiting up north again. Thank you Sam, for the wonderful lunch and making me feel so welcome! read more

SEP2025 This was a good find. We've been looking for a solid mediterranean place in the area and this hit a lot of marks for us. When we stopped in mid afternoon, unfortunately they were out of a number of different dishes to try. Many people would come by and pick up food to go, and there were some 2 person tables inside for seating near the window. Service answered any questions we had. We had ordered a mediterranean sample plate, and a beef kebob plate. The hummus and salads tasted fresh, the beef kebobs had good flavor and bite. I'd say the piece I liked best was the falafel. It wasn't grainy, and had a light and crunchy exterior; almost flaky. I'd go back just for that really. Certainly worth the stop tho, I'll have to check out the lamb, lentil soup, and the moussaka another time hopefully. read more

Such a gem in downtown Petaluma! The food here is super fresh and made to order, seriously great quality. They've got tons of options, so there's something for everyone. I'm obsessed with the Greek bowls and the chicken shawarma, and the homemade hummus is so smooth & flavorful. Service is AMAZING, Sam is the best and really makes you feel taken care of. The space is clean, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Can't recommend this place enough! Plus, they have the viral chocolate Dubai strawberries. read more

If you are looking for a delicious meal, look no further! I just had this Beef Kefta Kebob Plate, and it exceeded my expectations for authentic Mediterranean food. The Beef Kefta was seasoned very well with traditional spices, juicy on the inside, and had a beautiful char from the grill. It was served over a generous amount of fluffy aromatic rice that soaked up the flavor of the meat. Sam was very kind during my visit and I look forward to going back for another meal! Thank you! read more

My partner and I stopped by on a Monday afternoon. I had previously tried their baklava but this was my first time trying tge actual food. We ordered lentil soup, a falafel wrap, and a chicken shawarma wrap. The lady who took our order was very nice and helpful. The inside was clean and there were a few tables. Our food came out pretty quickly! The lentil soup was a little on the salty side but it was pretty good. The wraps were our favorite part! The falafel wrap was delicious! I love falafel and know it can be a little dry at times. This wrap was perfectly made! The chicken one was our favorite! It wasn't dry at all and the chicken was seasoned perfectly and paired well with the fresh veggies and wrap. This is the type of food that won't make you feel like s**t afterwards and I know I will be back soon!! Overall, this place serves up great food and great service. I definitely recommend read more

I've now had Urban Deli three times, and it has been consistently good. I'm not feeling great and decided to order a few proper meals to have on hand. Everything I ordered made me say 'oooh yeahhhh'. I'm feeling better already. I got the Greek lamb bowl, chicken shawarma plate, gyro with hot sauce, and one of each baklava All of it was incredibly flavorful. The rice alone is a standout, and I felt transported by the flavors. :)) I found the portions to be generous and an excellent value. This place is solid & I'll probably be adding the shawarma plates into my weekly meal rotation. Seriously, so good! Very fast service too! read more

I really wanted to love this place as I am a Mediterranean food fan. The food looked and tasted fresh but due to the amount of salt in our two take out meals it was impossible to enjoy it. I was home 35 min away from the restaurant when I tasted the meals or I would have returned them. read more

Soooo delicious! And the owner Sam is a gem! I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu

Small place near the theatre. Very nice lady took my order. Ingredients looked and tasted fresh, lamb was a little dry. Portions were a bit smaller than I would've liked for what I paid, but not bad if you need a quick eat. read more

We decided to eat at urban deli in Petaluma me and my cousin that's visiting from LA. The hospitality was amazing giving by Sam. It felt like home the kindness that he gave out was amazing.

Urban Deli - Hummus, falafel, mixed salad - Delis Near Me - Petaluma, California

Don't miss the chicken pozole, which was a special of the day. It was top notch! The counter person said she made it from a family recipe.

The food this gentleman makes bursts with flavor and nuance. I've been fortunate to eat Middle Eastern food all over the world and I have to say this is one of the best. We tried the shawarma wraps and a combo meat plate and both were incredibly good. If you're considering coming here, don't think twice! read more

Wonderful Middle Eastern Food. The shawarmas are great. You can also get a sharwarma bowl. read more

Placed my order online and waited 20 minutes before taking the 5 minute walk over there. 25 minutes after placing my order, I was worried it would be cold at this point. Instead they told me it would be another 10-15 minute wait when there were only 2 other people in the whole restaurant. Sandwich came hot but without toasted bread so it was immediately soggy. Asked for no pickles and sourdough bread, it came with pickles and on rye bread. Got my order entirely wrong. How did it take 40minutes to make this terrible sandwich? I was on my very short lunch break and disappointed by how long it took to prepare my order, which was just a simple sandwich for $16 with tip. read more

Solid food and good service. I order takeout here a lot and Urban Deli always has consistent quality on their meat plates and desserts. Service is communicative too from the times I've picked up in person. read more

Their dolmas and baklava are the best I've had in years! Baklava not too sweet, as it should be. Dolmas flavorful with a perfect touch of acidity. Amazing! Loved the hummus plate as well. And shwarma! Definitely one of our favorite places in Sonoma County! read more

What a great find. I can't believe I have not discovered this gem a long time ago. I am always looking for fresh Mediterranean food.well Urban Deli fits the ticket on this perfectly. Super fresh, super tasty and will continue to try new things. Sandwiches are great as well!! read more

Popped in during Butter & Eggs Day parade and ordered the falafel wrap to take home. Pleasant service. The wrap was SOOOOO GOOOD!! Shared with my husband, it was big enough to make 2 light meals. I can't wait to get back for another. read more

If you haven't been here, you should. I'm pretty picky about good falafel and hummus and don't often like babaganoush. Urban deli does it all well! It's so dang tasty, crunchy falafel, creamy hummus and baba and they include pickles on the sampler plate and dolmas and tabouleh and pita . Next time I'll probably do a falafel plate. Don't sleep on this place. read more

Got some takeout from this place for the very first time -- the kebab plate. For whatever reason, everything was so salty. The hummus was salty to the fact that even if I ate it with the pita bread I can still taste the salt. The kebabs were salty. The rice was a little less salty. The salad was eatable bc it has the least amount of salt. I'm pretty disappointed because I had high hopes for this place. read more

Awesome service. Exceptional taste. Downtown location is right near a park with plenty of places to eat!

Aside from ordering amazing takeout from here, we just had urban deli cater a party for us for about 80 people. The food was phenomenal and 100% authentic. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good it was and those with little kids were happily surprised to see their kids enjoying the shawarma, beef kefta, rice and tabbouleh. The portions were extremely generous and there were tons of leftovers for us to enjoy for the days to come! As far as service, Sam was the best to work with! He was great at communicating and getting back to me quickly. Checking in as we neared the event date and making sure I had the right setup to make sure food stayed tasting good the day of. Could not recommend this place enough for catering (and just to dine at)! read more

The most amazing, fresh, healthy food! My husband and I decided to head out to lunch to Theatre Square and find a new place to try. I found Urban Deli on Yelp and the reviews looked amazing. We went in to check out the menu and it smelled great inside! I chose the falafel bowl, he chose the chicken shawarma bowl. The food is amazing! Fresh, home made, perfectly cook with amazing flavor! I had to call my mom and see if they needed lunch... my mom had me bring her the chicken shawarma and since her boyfriend only likes beef, the owners let us swap out the chicken for beef kabob. While we waited for the food-to-go we were treated to fresh walnut baklava and chocolate baklava. First... OMG I have never had such amazing baklava... and I've had A LOT of baklava! Just sweet enough, flaky, crunchy yet soft. Not over-wet or over-sticky. And the chocolate baklava was a stunner... perfect flavor, not over rich or chocolaty. I had to bring some home and share some with mom, who also agreed that everything was EXCELLENT. It's very rare for me to give a review after one meal, so today I got the chicken shawarma bowl and my husband the falafel bowl to-go with a large side of hummus. It was another amazing flavor explosion! The perfect balance with rice, salad, hummus, fresh pickles, red onion the well-seasoned protein and tahini. Great people, good service, amazing food... you can't go wrong!!! read more

Our go to lunch in Petaluma . Very friendly people and great food , the hummus and baklava are amazing.

Love this place, it has one of the best Greek salads I've had!! Their plates are of a good size and so tasty.

High-quality, delicious lunch options that run the gamut from Middle Eastern to Mexican to American. The chicken shawarma wrap is a glorious marriage of tahini sauce, hummus, salad, and marinated chunks of chicken. I opted for the spicy sauce, which gave it a nice oomph. I read that they roast their own turkeys for the turkey sandwiches-- it's that kind of care and dedication to quality that comes across in the food at this new cozy lunch spot. I want to try everything. read more

Since my last review, I've been back to Urban Deli maybe a dozen times or more and have tried many other things from the menu and no big surprise, but everything is so fresh, flavorful, and delicious. My go-to is still the gyro wrap and yes I still unequivocally consider it the best gyro wrap I've had, not just in Petaluma, but probably all of Sonoma County. I recently had a falafel wrap as well and it was out of this world delicious - the falafel have a crispy exterior and an interior that is so smooth, soft, moist, and absolutely packed with flavor. As a self-proclaimed omnivore, I can honestly say I could have the falafel wrap all the time and not miss meat at all. We've also tried pretty much every plate option and they're all fantastic, depending on what protein you're in the mood for. All the meat plates come with delicious saffron rice, a side cucumber/tomato salad, hummus, thinly sliced red onion, a couple pieces of pita, and a sprinkle of sumac. My personal favorite is the chicken shawarma, but of course all the meats are super juicy, tender, and packed full of flavor. Also, don't miss the Mediterranean sampler plate - it's a great way to try many of the salads and dips they have available, and while all the salads/dips are delicious, their hummus and dolmas are absolutely to die for. It makes for a great meal by itself as well! On top of the amazing food, this is a small, family-owned business, and Sam and his wife are the nicest, warmest, and most welcoming people you'll ever meet. We are so truly lucky to have Urban Deli in town, and if you haven't had a chance to check it out, you should do so - you absolutely will not be disappointed! read more

The falafel wrap is amazing. And they were relatively quick for walking in during lunch hours.
