About This Place

Located in the heart of Cave Spring, VA, Petra Mediterranean / Middle Eastern Grill & Grocery offers an authentic taste of the Mediterranean with a warm and inviting atmosphere that truly delights the senses. Specializing in rich and hearty Middle Eastern cuisine, Petra is a gem for those craving bold, soulful flavors crafted with care.

Their menu is a vibrant celebration of Mediterranean staples, featuring standout dishes like the Petra Mixed Platter—a generous assortment of perfectly grilled meats that showcases the depth of their kabob expertise. Fans of classic fare will be drawn to the Chicken Shawarma Platter, where slices of tender, spiced chicken nestle alongside fragrant rice and fresh vegetables. For a satisfying handheld option, the Falafel Sandwich bursts with crispy falafel, gooey tahini, and crunchy pickles, creating a harmony of textures that linger delightfully on the palate.

Dessert lovers should not miss the house favorite Baklava, a flaky, honey-soaked pastry layered with nuts that melts elegantly with every bite, or the Namoura, a semolina cake that offers a delightful finish to any meal. The kitchen also proudly serves a comforting Adas (Lentil) Soup, rich with earthy lentils, dried limes, and aromatic spices, warming you from the inside out.

Beyond classics, Petra introduces tempting starters like crispy Chicken Wings and golden Mozzarella Sticks paired with marinara sauce, perfect for sharing over good conversation. Their innovative Loaded Fries with Chicken are a must-try for anyone craving a fusion of comfort food and Mediterranean flair.

The dining experience at Petra is enhanced by a helpful and friendly staff, noted by several customers as attentive and welcoming, even during their bustling service hours. The casual, lively ambiance is complemented by a charming outdoor seating area, making it an ideal spot to enjoy a relaxed meal, especially when the weather cools down.

Regulars rave about signature dishes like the lamb shawarma, described as fresh and perfectly seasoned, or the chicken breast kabob praised for its tender juiciness that truly stands out. The tabbouleh salad is another highlight, featuring a refreshing mix of vegetables and herbs that adds brightness to every plate.

What truly sets Petra apart is its dual function as both a grill and a grocery, where food lovers can also shop authentic Mediterranean ingredients—allowing patrons to take a piece of the experience home with them.

Whether you’re seeking a flavorful lunch break, a family dinner spot, or a place to discover new Mediterranean tastes, Petra Mediterranean / Middle Eastern Grill & Grocery welcomes you with open arms and generous portions filled with genuine, vibrant flavor.

    Petra Mediterranean / Middle Eastern Grill and Grocery was a nice stop for a different kind of lunch. I chose the Greek Salad which had lots of feta and black olives along with tomatoes, cucumbers, a few purple onions and the greens. The dressing was a little acidic for my taste, maybe just a tad too much vinegar. My dining mate ordered fried ground lamb dish over rice with vegetables including green beans, carrots and peas. She deemed it delicious and the portion was huge. We both had to-go bags. One orders at the counter and the food is brought to the table. I asked for tap water, but was told it was not available and bought bottled water. The grocery section is so interesting with many different imported foods and desserts. The store was pretty busy during our lunch, and the background music was actually reading verses from the Quran.

    Super friendly staff, busy when we ordered so my drink came out with the appetizer, but everything after was timely delivery. The samosas are AMAZING, and our entrees were both good! But I’d opt for their nice outdoor seating in cooler weather to escape the kitchen din. Would go again!

    Delicious food. I came here because my first choice was closed and glad I did- it was excellent. The falafel wrap was one of the best I’ve had and the tabbouleh salad tasted very fresh. The rice was well seasoned and flavorful! I love that they had a grocery section as well, and picked up a few items that I can’t get elsewhere. Highly recommend!

    Traditional Jordanian fare at an excellent price. The lamb shawarma is fresh and wonderfully seasoned. Honestly, if they sold the tahini sauce by the bottle I would buy it.

    We both agreed it was the best chicken breast kabob we've ever had and we do Med a lot. It was as tender as a mother's love. The lentil soup was incredible and the tabouleh was unique as it had more vegetables than normal which I really liked. A new favorite place.

    It's a little hole in the wall place suggested to us by a guy in a food truck (we wanted a place with some vegan options) and it was worth the stop! The food was delicious! The falafel wrap was 100! (Though I'm a Heinz ketchup devotee so I didn't try the ketchup here.)

    I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Mo for a very long time, and he is one of the most down-to-earth people. This restaurant has so much to offer and the flavor and authenticity is unmatched. She will also sell you things like Halal lamb and beef. He’d probably sell you more than just that if you ask him.

    We had driven by Petra several times before we finally had time to stop and investigate. What we found was a small grocery stocked with things you will not find at Kroger and a menu from half way around the world. It's a small, yet cozy, place to enjoy food we don't usually eat. You order at the counter, grab a drink from the cooler, and in a few minutes your food is in front of you. The Mediterranean spices are unmistakable, the spanakopita was crisp and the schawarma was tender. I nice find in Roanoke.
