Petra Cafe

This is a great little lunch spot. Fast service. The food is good. The salad is what I order with gyro and it's perfect. I wish I knew what was the spices in the veggie mix. I only get to come when I work in the city which is only a few times of month if at all. So it would be nice to recreate the meal myself.

If you want quick food here is the place. Follows a sub way style ordering but Mediterranean style. Step 1- choose a sandwich , rice , salad or soup. Step 2-choose your protein - chicken, falafel, gyro Step 3 - choose your veggies Step 4 - choose your sauces I had taken the lemon style salad and it was decent. Not the best but it filled my tummy.

Popular place - when I arrived the line to order was out the front door onto the sidewalk, but they did a great job preparing food quickly and moving people along. I ordered a salad with chicken, mixed veggies, garlic sauce, and side of falafel. The greens were fresh and good quality, chicken was good but not overly flavorful, garlic sauce was quite garlicky (recommeded). I don't typically like fresh cucumber, but the mixed veggies were seasoned nicely. Falafel was very dry, but I think it might be because they are baked and not fried - which is healthier but they are the driest falafel I've ever eaten and were difficult to eat on their own but did work well when I broke them up and mixed into the salad. I will return for lunch again because they are fast and have fresh ingredients.

Cozy restaurant on the corner that we found by accident. If you’re in the area, support a local business! They certainly need it in downtown Seattle. I had a vegetarian Mediterranean bowl which included; falafel, yellow rice, romaine lettuce, corn, cucumber, tomato, olives, etc. The two of us ate for $22. Fast service and great quality. Staff were awesome! I hope to return and try their lentil soup and hummus.
