Delicious food and great customer service! We ordered shawerma bowls, Arabic coffee, and some appetizers!

I was craving some falafels for the longest time. But I had some bad ones in the past where the outside was soggy and the inside was dry. I have been searching and searching and I came across this little hole in the wall. Google took me here and the falafels was out of this world!!!! It was soooooo good! The outside was crispy and delicious and the inside was moist and flavorful. I absolutely loved it!!! The only reason I gave it 4 stars was hoping the receptionist or the chef wore a mask. I would feel just a bit better.

Not sure what's it's called but it had Tomatoes and meat. It was horrible and I would recommend not spending money on that. Why can't we have a good Arabic restaurant in Orland like they do in Bridgeview! All I want is a traditional Palestinian breakfast!!!

Food is amazing, shawarma was very tasty, and the musabaha reminded me of Jordan. The place is soooo clean and nice sitting for family. Staff are very friendly. We will definitely go back before we leave Chicago, and highly recommend the place

Great Mediterranean food, tabbouleh, spiral potatoes and stuffed grape leaves were great, all the classics you'd expect done well, like shawarma, made fresh with well balanced flavors and friendly staff, similar to Naf Naf or Sem Sem but more elevated and cooked fresh

The food was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered steak shawarma and I ordered chicken shawarma- great prices for the large portions that you receive. We will definitely order again!

What a hidden gem! Our large group loved dinner at Petra. Everything was cooked to order and very delicious. The special chicken dish was outstanding and the appetizer spreads - we got hummus and baba ghanoush - were awesome. Loads of warm pita is served with the spreads and entrees. Some people tried the bowls which seemed to be a hit and my youngest had the gyros dinner. Looking for something interesting? You can't go wrong with Petra and if you go, trust me you'll want to order some potato skewers.

Good food , don't know how to run it yet . We decided to try this new restaurant tonight and I have to say that everybody there were seven of us enjoyed their food however they bring you out a big plate of food and pita and no place to put your sandwich together no plate they bring you out pop in a can and no glass with ice or straws they bring you your stuff that's boxed up to go home but no big to put in them they just are not up to running this restaurantBut the food is terrific I had the chicken salegh however they say it And it was very tasty my wife had the same thing but with mushrooms and she said it was terrific they had some kind of potatoes and score and I tried and they were very good they had a chicken euro which are youngest Adam head and he loved it so the food and the whole was good but these folks need to get somebody in there who knows how to run a restaurant
First time ordering shawarma beef sandwich doesn't taste good at all and chicken shawarma sandwich so I don't recommend getting any shawarma from there

The owner was courteous, and everything was very clean. The food was delicious, richly spiced without being "hot" apart from the potato skewer which was supposed to be a bit spicy, though I'd consider it medium.The shining star though is the coffee. One order of turkish coffee was probably enough to share and was definitely strong enough for anybody! Perfect to wrap up a great meal!

The owner is extremely friendly, and the food was extremely good! The spice palate is quite authentic, and everything was clean and tasteful. My food was do good that I purchased the vegetarian basket and a few other things for tomorrow's lunch!

The cook does not wear a mask or gloves and there might be other sanitary issues since the hummus gave me diarrhea for a couple of days. The sandwiches are not in pita bread but in a tortilla like a thin burrito, which is kind of Americanized I guess and not authentic. We had carry out and had leftovers which I just discarded the next day. We will not go back after getting sick.

This place is a new hidden jem near Orland Mall. The restaurant was clean, modern, and cute inside. The staff was very kind and welcoming. We had the chicken shawarma and steak shawarma wraps with rice and fries. It was delicious! The chicken and steak were so juicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back again!
