Petra Cafe takes its name from the lovely historical city of Petra in Jordan.
Ayman Al-Bataineh, the proprietor of Petra Cafe, decided to relocate to Mississippi in 2007.
He chose to continue sharing …
Petra is hands down the best, freshest, most consistently delicious food in Hattiesburg. The Chicken Shawarma (Grilled Chicken) Salad is to die for, and I order it at least once a week. It doesn't really matter what you orderor when, you can be sure that it will exceed your expectations. The customer service is excellent as well!

Cheese is smaller than advertised, no utensils in the bag for the salad, Lebanese tea was watered down and not cold as if it had ice. The shawarma sandwich I got was filling and cooked well. I wouldn't say top tier. All in all a 6/10. Way too costly.

My order was wrong.. missing spinich pie.. extra burger? 2 orders of fries when only one was ordered not to mention they're soggy... There's only 5 Mac and cheese bites per order Wich seems to me like a rip off due to there size being the size of a quarter... What I got tastes good but it is not what I ordered..

Mediterranean Redfish was so good. Deliciously seasoned; no fishy taste. The flavor played so well with the grilled vegetables.
The Stuffed Grape Leaves (Meat) were like bite sized nuggets of tasty. I loved dipping them in the provided tzatziki sauce.
