Since we moved to SLO, we've heard several tales about Petra's efforts to perfect fresh pita. When we finally dropped in for dinner, they were amazingly quick to put pita in your hands. (A feat we watched them do with great consistency.) Being a bread fan, I was anxious to bite into it. But I swear they forgot the salt.... More

I found this restaurant online and decided to take my husband on a surprise date there. We were not dissapointed. We tried the chicken shwarma, gyro pizza, stuffed grape leaves and the baklava. The food was delicious as well as reasonably priced. Be sure to try the sauces (not unlike a mini salsa bar), we both enjoyed the pepperoncini and... More

Todd and his family have the perfect after movie restaurant and very good food. You are treated in typical Middle Eastern fashion, honored guests. If you are a regular, food seems to end up on your table without asking. This is a SLO gem.

We just stumbled across this place while looking for a drink. Even though we were not buying food were offered pita bread and dips which were very tasty. We needed a place later for dinner and menu looked interesting and reasonable. Also the atmosphere was great. We were not disappointed. Great food at reasonable prices and great service.

This is the place for fabulous Gyros, falafel, pita, and pizza! Everything I've ever tried here has been simply stellar. The pros - The food is great, the portions reasonable and the prices are good. The cons - The "atmosphere" is lacking if one is seeking anything more that a good meal. It can be loud and "service" is ordering... More

I was coming though San Luis Obispo for business and the Central Coast Brewery recommended Petr for dinner. We certainly weren't disappointed! They made the falafel fresh for us right then and there. The "salsas" that they offered us were flavorful and an excellent addition to the light and fluffy pita they served. If I lived in SLO I would... More

Was in the mood for Mediterranean food and stopped at Petra's for the first time. Almost didn't stay because they had two large screen televisions in their tiny place. But, the sound was off and they quickly approached each of us offering a large piece of their warm, fresh pita bread. It was very tasty. We decided on their Greek... More

GREAT place- LOVED Petra! Driving through San Luis Obispo, we went online and found Petra. When we learned we'd get Delta sky mileage, we drove immediately there and we're so glad we did! Petra is a 'college kid's' dream- delicious, well priced, healthy food and centrally located to downtown and campus, (even though we are years out of college, we... More

I had heard about this restaurant but only recently experienced it myself. So far, I have only had a couple of the menu items because they are so good that I have not yet explored further. I am excited about trying all of the other options (the pizza looks great), but the hummus and falafel sandwiches are heavenly...especially with the... More
