Petra Mediterranean Restaurant
Order Mansaf, Lamb mandi, Shawarma
Restaurant · Busch Boulevard (near Temple Terrace), Tampa, FL
A Palestinian-owned Middle Eastern restaurant that Halal Food Junkie featured in February 2023, describing it as the first halal restaurant in Tampa Bay and ordering maklouba, falafel and mixed grill. Its website now lists a Busch Boulevard address; older listings show 10817 N 56th St.
Daily 12pm-2am per the restaurant's website (checked Oct 2026).
Zabihah lists it as fully halal with no alcohol served, on verbal assurance from staff (the listing still shows the former 56th Street address). The 'first halal restaurant in Tampa Bay' description comes from Halal Food Junkie's own post and was not independently verified.
Halal status is as stated by the business or its certifier at the time we last checked. Menus and suppliers change. If it matters to you, ask the staff before you order.
