PETRA GREEK

Great food! The Petra Special Plate gave a nice sampling of the different meats. Very flavorful and tender. Served with a nice salad.

Different staff.

Service and atmosphere were great for the available space. High chairs are available. Food was okay. I would order again if I were in the area with no other options. I ordered the lamb with fries. Each lamb was cooked to a different temperature. The fries and the fry sauce were perfect. The tzatziki sauce and the hummus was really thick. I was unable to scoop any hummus with my pita bread. Food presentation is great. Food quality is on par with a diner. I think the food was fairly priced. 3 stars

Expect to wait a bit (probablydepending on what you order), because it's not a true fast food place. But it's definitely worth the wait!

This Petra location has survived the times while most of the other eateries in the neighborhood haven’t. The food is not the best ever Mediterranean but also far far cry from being bad. It’s a solid weekday lunch option.

My go tos are the beefteki (that’s how they spell it on the menu), pork souvlaki, and Greek salad. But yes even those are hit n miss. At times, the beefteki can be a bit mushy, cooked through but mushy and fall apart. Some pork souvlaki cuts can be fatty gristle. Pricing is a bit higher, than other like establishments in the burbs. However this joint is not in the burbs, it’s in midtown Sacramento.

The place can get super busy during lunch. They do take online and call in orders. The times that I walk in to place an order, I wait near the cash register so I can hear the staff call out my order name. It’s loud in there especially with a full house of customers and the noise from the open kitchen. If you don’t pick up your order quick enough, they just leave it at the counter for anyone to take.
I’ve had my orders swiped before.
