First time dining in at Cafe Petra, and the food and service were excellent. Natalia, our server was attentive and brought our food out in record speed. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and my husband had the lamb shank. The portions, specifically of the meats, were very generous. The chicken shawarma was flavorful and although thinly sliced, did not lack in juiciness. The lamb shank tasted like it had been slowly stewed to perfection. The condiments added to the meal while being delicious in their own right. Overall, this place takes great care in making food that tastes as delicious as it looks and we would happily return.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.
