Restaurant Petra Grill
7.6
Tucked just off 7th and Flower, Restaurant Petra Grill operates from a modest space focusing on shawarma, kabobs, and mezze-style plates for nearby offices and hotels. Portions are generous and the menu hits the expected chicken and beef shawarma, falafel, and hummus combos that travel well for takeout. Recent reviews point to comfort-first plates rather than destination cooking, making it a practical choice when you’re close by and craving something Mediterranean.
