This is the best Middle Eastern restaurant.
I love their vegetarian plate. The tobli is made fresh every day.
It’s a small restaurant but it’s great!!!

I love falafel and all the different accoutrements that come with it, and Petra’s has absolutely the best falafel ever! Their hummus, babaganoush, tabouli, grape leaves are all awesome. The most amazing thing they have on their menu, however, is called Zataar… sort of like a pizza with a herbed topping and olive oil.
When my cousin, Leslie visits me from Berkeley, we always dine there. Nowhere else. That is how amazing the food is here, that even coming from the Bay Area, where some of the best restaurants are, she dreams of the Mediterranean food they have here on the Monterey Peninsula, at Petra’s. Not to be missed!

Basically fast food. Greasy. Definitely not authentic Mediterranean food. More like something you’d find in a mall. Service on the slow side, even after we mentioned we were on a drive and in a hurry.

We ate there on 1÷16÷16. 4 stars for the gyro plate that I got, 0 stars for the food poisoning my wife got from the falafel or the salad.

The best falafel sandwich I’ve had in the United States! During a recent trip to Pacific Grove, I enjoyed this family-​run restaurant for several nights in a row. The staff was attentive and genuine. I’ll definitely come back!

We were visiting Monterey Bay and happened to Unilocal the resturant up, it’s has an indoor and outdoor seating if you have pets this is the spot to be, I think cause we came in at an odd time so we were greeted by the chef or the owner, the hospitality is amazing they bring water which is common practice and they gave sliced meat for the pets and I have been to a lot of pet friendly resturants., the food is amazing by the way we had the lamb shank and the salmon kabob. This place is a hidden gem don’t forget to give it a try when you here.

Maybe I’m a little spoiled because I live in a place where actual Moroccans, Lebanese, Egyptian, and other peoples from the general vicinity of the Mediterranean Sea reside, but the lentil soup here very much resembles the lentil soup my mother makes. And my mother has never been within a few hundred thousand miles of the Mediterranean Sea. I guess I’m used to my lentil soup having spices and flavor and stuff. Like I said, spoiled.
Come to think of it, the only other people in the restaurant were elderly white people. I guess that should explain what kind of palate they cater to. I tried eating in Pacific Grove, but it was a failed experiment…
Super nice staff, and delicious Gyros!
Very convent that they have a to go order window. Also love the Greek salad.
